Implantación de rúbricas en la asignatura de expresión gráfica en los grados de ingeniería

Abstract

The subject of Graphical Expression at Universitat Jaume I presents a structure where the acquired knowledge accumulates progressively. For this reason, the correction criteria for continuous assessment tests evolve accordingly along the academic course. In order to make students aware of these criteria, subject’s teachers provided them rubrics created in accordance to these criteria. These rubrics were intended to promote student's autonomous learning and to provide a tool for them when studying for the exams. An online rubrics application workshop was organised in order to familiarize students with rubrics before the exam. After analysing the exam scores it was observed that those students that participated in the workshop obtained higher scores than those who did not, and also higher than scores obtained the past academic course. Furthermore, students and teachers were asked to answer a questionnaire regarding their perception towards rubrics implantation and the workshop, and both collectives gave very positive feedback. These results encourage subject’s teachers to go forward providing rubrics and organising application workshops.
