Each year, the National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research (ANVUR) proposes the TEst sulle COmpetenze (TECO), a project aimed at measuring the transversal (TECO-T) and disciplinary (TECO-T) skills of university students, with the goal of improving the quality of the educational process. Through the analysis of learning outcomes, the project promotes student-centered teaching and supports self-assessment in the academic system. TECO is part of the European reference framework for the quality of higher education and supports a student-centered, learning-outcomes-based approach, fully consistent with international standards and guidelines. The project is divided into two complementary components: TECO-T (Transversal), aimed at assessing general skills for all study paths (reading comprehension, logical-quantitative reasoning, problem solving, citizenship, and critical thinking). · TECO-D (Disciplinary), aimed at measuring the specific skills of professional/disciplinary profiles, based on national frameworks aligned with European descriptors of learning outcomes. The surveys will be conducted remotely from October 15th to December 19th, 2025, on the CINECA platform, with participant recognition and management of dedicated virtual classrooms.
Participation by universities, degree programs, and students is voluntary. Sapienza University has been participating in the Project since 2017 as an evaluation tool to support Quality Assurance (QA) processes and the continuous improvement of its educational offerings.
