Experiencia de Diseño y Uso de una Rúbrica para Evaluar Informes de Laboratorio en Formato Publicación Científica

espanolEn este trabajo se diseno una intervencion para contribuir a la formacion de cientificos, a traves de redisenar la evaluacion de una tarea de desempeno autentica. Para ello, se creo y valido una rubrica analitica para evaluar un informe de laboratorio en formato publicacion cientifica en la asignatura bioquimica. Se obtuvo un consenso entre evaluadores de 70%. El analisis permitio mejorar el instrumento e identificar debilidades en el desempeno de los estudiantes. Se obtuvo la percepcion de los estudiantes de la experiencia, quienes declararon utilizar la rubrica, apreciandose acuerdo respecto a su calidad, objetividad y pertinencia. Sin embargo, no hubo acuerdo respecto de la utilidad para guiar y retroalimentar, ni hubo efecto en el rendimiento, evidenciando que se requiere robustecer el diseno. En consecuencia, se genero una propuesta que incorpora: involucrar a los estudiantes en la definicion de estandares de calidad, guiar el analisis de datos, incluir coevaluacion y retroalimentacion. EnglishIn this work, an intervention was designed to contribute to the training of scientists, through redesigning the assessment of an authentic performance task. An analytic rubric to assess a laboratory report written as a scientific paper for a biochemistry course was created and validated. The agreement between referees was 70%. The analysis allowed improving the instrument and identifying weaknesses in the students’ performance. Students’ perception of this experience was obtained, who declared that they used the rubric, agreeing in regard of its quality, objectivity and pertinence. However, there was no agreement with respect of its usefulness for guiding and providing feedback. Also, no effect was found on the course grades, showing that it is necessary to strengthen the design. As a result, a proposal was generated including: involving students in the definition of the quality standards, guiding the data analysis, including peer assessment and feedback. This experience illustrates the need of continuously updating and improving the teaching practices in order to achieve the learning outcomes.
