The introduction of new undergraduate degrees adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) requires a coordinated effort by teachers, because the different subjects are based on a new methodology of teaching and learning. The Social Sciences School of Cuenca offers degrees in Business Administration, Law and Labor Sciences. The progressive adaptation of the undergraduate degrees at the University of Castilla-La Mancha has culminated with the introduction, in the academic year 2009-2010, of the Business Administration Degree and, beginning in academic year 2010-2011, of the Degrees in Law and in Industrial Relations and Human Resource Development, once they have all been verified by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA). This paper addresses opportunities for coordination among teachers that occur in the implementation of new degree of Law and Business Administration, through the joint work of teachers in different aspects of competency-based education. After the first course of the new degrees, it must articulate all coordination tools that allow teachers to conduct their work effectively and efficiently, with the aim of providing the best possible service to students. The synergies arising from this deployment will allow better planning tools in the implementation of the following degrees.

In this article the authors explore power imbalances in a decision-making process to define the contents of a new Spanish degree adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), specifically the industrial design and product development engineering degree which started in the academic year 2009/10 at the Higher Technical School of Design Engineering (ETSID) at the Technical University of Valencia (UPV). They start the article with a description of the tool they used to analyse the power issues: the power cube, developed by John Gaventa. Then, they briefly explain the process of adaptation of the Bologna Process at the UPV in general and at the ETSID in particular. They introduce the methodology used in their research by referring to the type of questions asked and the criteria used to select their informants. Subsequently, they discuss the answers, paying special attention to three aspects: the quality of participation and the quality of the process; the types of power; and the concept of education. Lastly, they propose a series of recommendations intended to improve the quality of participation in deliberative processes at university.

In 2008, the University of Extremadura adapted their degrees in tourism in order to offer from the academic year 20092010 a full education in this area within which students can receive the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) Degree in Tourism.The current framework for higher education, characterised by a more open offering, has, as its main aim, a greater rapprochement of the competencies and skills achieved by students and those that are demanded by the labor market and society in general. Because of this, the paper examines whether these new degrees will provide the expected results.

This study establishes three objectives. The first, describe the main characteristics of a tutorial action program developed within an academic subject in a Faculty of teacher training. The second, determine the level of appraisement of the degree of importance given by students to a group of transversal skills and the kowledge level related to the research methodology during the tutorial action. The third, discuss the role of the tutorial action at the university in the new European Higher Education Area. The experience was developed in the academic year 2014-2015. Thirty six students participated and constructed two ad-hoc questionnaires. Four elements can be highlighted from the analysis of results: the interaction between participants, the perceived organization and the tutorial action methodology, the positive assessment to the development of skills related to research, and the development of critical attitude. As conclusion, it is considered that showing the process of construction and development of the tutorial action as an alternative experience in higher education and teacher training subjects, can help to clarify alternative pedagogical mechanisms to facilitate communication and participatory processes consistent with the new European Higher Education Area.

The Spanish educational system will require certain changes in order to achieve the Bologna objectives for the European Higher Education Area, including with new activities and roles for both students and teachers, who must assume new skills that will affect concepts and attitudes related to the teaching and learning processes. This chapter describes the authors’ experience in designing E-learning methodologies for the teaching of accountancy in the Business Administration Degree Course at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. The chapter’s methodology designed for teaching accounting, is based on PBL (Problem Based Learning), compiled with Internet based technologies. The authors analyze its use and evolution in two accounting subjects in the first and the fourth year of the degree. The conclusions obtained from the statistical treatment of the results show that there is a direct correlation between the use of an active E-learning model and obtaining satisfactory exam results in the subject.

The interest of the present work is focused on the improvement of the students learning process through the use of a Wiki-like platform. In our research The Wiki was intended as a mean in order to make easier the learning project. During the academic year 2011/2012 the Area of Manufacturing Engineering of the University of Oviedo was involved in a project which aim was the creation of a Wiki. Nowadays this software is used as auxiliary material for other subjects that are given by the Manufacturing Engineering Area in those new Engineering degrees that have been created in order to adapt the studies to the requirement of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). According to the results obtained by the students, it can be stated that the higher the mark of the students Wiki the better his/her mark in the exam is.

Competency Based Assessment

This paper presents the phases involved in the design of a methodology to contribute both to the acquisition of competencies and to their assessment in the field of Financial Accounting, within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) framework, which we call MANagement of COMpetence in the areas of Accounting (MANCOMA). Having selected and defined the competencies to be acquired by students in our subject, we break them down into sub-competencies, and the latter in turn into indicators, allowing us to design activities to be offered to students for the development of competencies and their subsequent assessment. Our work therefore centred on the design of a model for the "Financial Accounting III" subject belonging to the Accounting module of the syllabus for a Degree in Business Administration and Management.
