Rubric, a path to objectively assess learning in the virtual classroom

Abstract

A rubric is an evaluation tool whose purpose is to share criteria or indicators, which allow evaluating objectively and critically students’ learning, as well as the skills developed according to the objectives. Therefore, this instrument is necessary when teaching online because students can assess their achievements and difficulties. Likewise, the teacher can provide feedback to strengthen the weaknesses found to overcome them. It is, therefore, necessary to reflect from the pedagogical and didactic point of view on the characteristics, structure, design, and use of the rubric for the evaluation of student apprenticeships, considering that the rubric allows the participation and interaction of the different actors of the teaching-learning process.
