Se exponen los retos y desafíos de la evaluación enlas artes y se argumenta la necesidad de esclarecer sus objetivos. Se discuten algunas propuestas que tratan de conciliar el debate.

Finalmente, desde este análisis, se  ofrecen recomendaciones para la mejora de los procesos de evaluación en el nivel superior.
