The Rubric as a Self-Assessment Tool, Permanent, Participatory and Thoughtful Process for the Permanent Training of the Student: a Practical Case

The inclusion of artistic-creative subjects in the Degree in Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development at the Polytechnic University of Madrid leads us to think about evaluation methods that can reinforce the concept of objectivity. The rubric of assessment is introduced in order to facilitate the concepts that are going to be evaluated. Students will know in advance these concepts so they will work with the objective of acquiring the best marks for their proposals. We consider that the rubric will appear to the student as an objective tool for them to be evaluated. The student will work knowing all the criteria so they will think about the aims previously shown. We also want them to collaborate in their assessment in a thoughtful way. We want them to be trained in a critical vision of their work. During this study we have worked with two subjects of the degree in engineering in industrial design and product development and the double degree in engineering in industrial design and mechanics during the 2017-2018 school year and the participation of 210 students.
