The Polytechnic University of Valencia received certification for the implementation of the Teaching Activity Evaluation Model, as part of ANECA’s DOCENTIA program, in December 2012. The recognition of the teaching activities carried out at our university, through this certification, allows us to improve the quality of all processes related to our students’ education, and this assessment has been conducted annually and comprehensively ever since.
A substantial change has been made to the model for evaluating teaching activities in order to adapt it to the new framework of the Docentia program, published in May 2021 by ANECA.
Throughout the process of defining and improving the program, the entire university community has been involved through informational meetings and the organization of various working groups open to participation by the university community.
After two pilot implementation years, the Docentia_UPV model was certified by ANECA

2. Sources and Procedures for Collecting Information
Part of the process of collecting and validating information for the DOCENTIA_UPV model is supported by the SENIA program, which makes the evaluation model feasible and sustainable while preventing potential biases.
SENIA collects all the information needed to generate the faculty self-report. Both the data entry process and the review and evaluation process are seasonally adjusted.
The sources of information used at the UPV to conduct and document the evaluation of faculty teaching performance are as follows:
• Faculty: Faculty Self-Report
• Student Body: Student Surveys
• Academic Leaders (Department and ERT)
• Validation Agents
• Teaching Evaluators: CED and CG
