Abstract
This chapter aims to reflect on assessment practices in the context of university from a feminist and decolonial perspective. It is committed to a university education based on the principles of equity, social justice, and equality. Within this framework it becomes essential to rethink assessment systems. To do so, the chapter is divided into two parts: first, the epistemological construction of assessment from decolonial feminism and the skills and competences approach is discussed; and second, university experiences regarding assessment are described under the presented principles. As final proposals, an answer is given to the question of whether it is possible to transform assessment in the university by focusing on clarifying what the objective and the subjects of a feminist and decolonial evaluation are, as well as the strategies, techniques, and uses of transformative assessment.
