Why is it important?
This article is essential for understanding how technical education can be enriched by incorporating art, an approach that fosters creativity and innovation. The use of rubrics to assess competencies like creativity is a key tool for ensuring well-rounded training, preparing students to tackle future challenges. Reading it encourages reflection on new ways to teach and evaluate in technical fields.
Perspectives
The authors emphasize the necessity of integrating artistic activities into technical education to develop well-rounded professionals capable of critical and innovative thinking. We believe that by using objective rubrics to assess creativity, we promote a more transparent and effective learning process. This approach not only benefits students but also contributes to creating a more human-centered education, one that values both science and art in the educational process.
