Abstract

Traditional assessment is often perceived as a punitive and opaque process that alienates students from their own learning. This article analyzes the impact of co-

constructing rubrics as a formative assessment strategy that democratizes the classroom. The theoretical framework is based on critical pedagogy and authentic assessment. Through a methodological proposal, the process of negotiating success criteria between teachers and students is described, transforming assessment into a space for dialogue and transparency. The results indicate that involving students in defining the quality of their tasks increases intrinsic motivation, improves self-regulation

skills, and reduces grading anxiety. It is concluded that co-constructed rubrics are a tool for educational justice that empowers students as active subjects of their own education.
