OBJECTIVES

SAPIENS Mission Statement:

  • Develop, test and implement an innovative tool to detect and assess learning shortcomings/gaps among students individually and the class as a whole;
  • Empower Professors teaching Physics, Mathematics, Statistics and Economics to implement new, competence-based assessment methodologies and tools in online or blended learning pathways in Higher Education studies;
  • Increase Professors’ skills to design and implement high-quality curricula for students, according to their learning needs and based on evidences provided by the SAPIENS Competence Assessment Tool;
  • Promote a greater adaptation of curricula and training programmes by adopting an assessment tool that is based on competences, thus making qualifications easier to understand (namely by the labour market);
  • Enable Higher Education Institutions to improve their capacities to offer online or blended learning pathways, while also promoting their competitiveness in an increasingly more digital world and fostering transnational cooperation.
