New Perspectives on Evaluation and Certifying the Competences of Higher Education Graduates

An important aspect of the reform of the Romanian higher education is the review of the evaluation system – process forming the object of many analyses initiated by the National Qualification Authority. The purpose of this study is to highlight the necessity of reconsidering, in Romania, the strategies of evaluating students’ learning results. In this regard, we propose a new conception on the exams organized upon the completion of license and/or master studies – as a basis for creating coherent criteria necessary in the process of study certification.A special attention is paid to the specific management of each study program solving from a strategic point of view the problem of correlating and concerting the efforts of all the teachers involved in the achievement of the study program. The student (learner) with his competency profile, as graduate, is placed in the center of this strategy.
