The rubric of evaluation of the competence in written expression. Perception of the students about its functionality

Abstract

 

This article presents a research in which rubrics’ functionality for the assessment of competence in writing of college students is analyzed. The research is approached from a descriptive and quantitative methodology by means of the elaboration of a questionnaire in which, after performing the statistical tests to verify the reliability of the scale created, the perception of the students is shown in three moments of the writing process (before, during and after). The results show that rubrics are especially beneficial to encourage objectivity, self-assessment and unity of action.
