This article provides a description of the design and implementation of a system of evaluation for an integrative course (a Capstone Course) in a Business Administration Faculty. This evaluation system consists of three parts (programme evaluation, evaluation of learning and knowledge management) and is aimed at making more complex both the students´ formative assessment as well as the teachers´ classroom practice, in order to lead to innovation. Action research provides the basis for the methodological design of the evaluation system, taking into account evaluation approaches for programme improvement, participatory evaluation and innovation understood as problem solving. The article concludes with a description of the impact of the system in terms of the advantages provided for the improvement of the course, the possibility of involving all the actors in order to establish relevant structural changes and the capacity to generate reflection and change in the evaluation culture of the teachers.
