This paper reports on a study in which students co-constructed a rubric checklist
with their lecturer and which they used to assess themselves. Data were collected
by means of a student questionnaire, tutor feedback, as well as tutors’ and lecturers’
observations to ascertain students’ experiences and opinions of the design process
and of using the tool to self-assess. The findings show that co-designing the rubric
checklist with students increased their motivation and enhanced students’
confidence in completing the task. In addition, students gained enormous benefits
from using the rubric checklist as a self-assessment tool. Reflecting critically on the
feedback received from students and tutors the authors argue that for enhanced
student engagement in the teaching and learning process they should be involved
as active participants in the assessment processes. In addition, students need to
learn to assess the quality of their own work early in their academic career with
continuous guided practice throughout their studies with the intention of making
the practice of self-assessment a norm rather than an exception, thereby creating
independent reflective learners.
