Exploring Assessment Rubrics

5. AI-Supported Rubrics

The aim of the study by Fernández-Sánchez et al. (2025) was to explore how generative artificial intelligence (particularly ChatGPT) can support teachers in creating assessment rubrics within the course Curriculum Design, Development and Evaluation at the University of A Coruña (academic year 2023/2024). The study concludes that generative artificial intelligence can significantly enhance the process of rubric design in higher education.

AI tools make it possible to define assessment criteria more quickly and accurately, improve alignment with the curriculum, and provide support to teachers, especially those with less experience. Although artificial intelligence is not a substitute for pedagogical insight and expert work, it is nevertheless a valuable tool that, with appropriate training and a critical approach, can enrich and professionalise assessment practices in education.
