Assessment co-creation is emerging with increasing frequency in co-designing learning practices in technology-enhanced learning environments in higher education. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyse whether these practices are related to students’ self-regulation and agency. Therefore, a qualitative multi-case study from a phenomenology perspective was conducted. To collect data, six professors were interviewed (four female and two males) following a semi-structured approach in order to gain their perceptions of their experiences in the assessment co-creation process and their views on the relationship of this process to students’ self-regulation and agency. To analyse the data, a deductive coding method was followed using the data analysis tool Atlas.ti. The findings show that from the professors’ points of view various relationships exist between the assessment co-creation mediated by technologies and students’ self-regulation and agency. Interviewees perceived that assessment co-creation activated both students’ agency and their self-regulation skills. From the results, it is suggested that assessment co-creation can enhance students’ self-regulation in all its phases but mainly in terms of forethought. Similarly, students’ agency seems to be boosted by the co-design process, highlighting the effect on the individual dimension. Accordingly, and related to the more developed areas of students’ self-regulation and agency, motivation seems to increase while co-creating.

This paper presents a participatory design-based research that aimed to create a model of co-creation in the curriculum in Technology-Enhanced Learning Environments (TELE) in tertiary education, specifically to co-design assessment between professors and students. This qualitative research followed four phases divided into five stages with two iterative cycles of design and re-design. Accordingly, a mixed method approach was used to collect the data: systematic literature review, semi-structured interviews, and student surveys. As a result, the model highlights and distinguishes four different dimensions: characterization, co-creation, reflection, and technology. The initial three dimensions are depicted in chronological order, while the fourth dimension is pervasive throughout all preceding stages. Furthermore, we depicted how technology is present throughout the co-creation process, delineating its role in each dimension distinctly. In conclusion, this model expands the basis of co-creation in the curriculum literature and provides tools for practitioners to innovate in their academic contexts, enabling student involvement in their own learning journey through co-creation. Further research in this field should be carried out, so we intend to apply this research to other fields of study and educational levels, contexts, and situations.

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature related to assessment co-creation, specifically on students’ perspectives on their participation throughout the process, including the professor’s role as well as the knowledge and skills students acquired in assessment co-creation in online and blended settings. To do so, we conducted qualitative research where three cases were examined through a validated survey. Quantitative data (Likert scale and close-ended questions) was analyzed with excel whereas to study qualitative data we used Atlas.ti. As a result, students appreciated the opportunity given as they believe it helped them to better understand the assessment process, as well as allowing them to improve their own understanding of their assignments and, therefore, to better perform on them. Also, students claim they have acquired different skills: from academic to life-long learning skills. In conclusion, we believe assessment co-creation has great potential to help students’ self-regulation and agency as well as to enhance students’ motivation, proactivity, and collaborative participation in their own learning process. Finally, we would like to point out that more studies related to this topic need to be conducted since there are only a few examples.

Esta revisión sistemática de literatura (RSL) presenta el análisis bibliométrico de los documentos seleccionados, la forma en que los profesores y los estudiantes co-diseñan dentro del currículo de una asignatura haciendo uso las tecnologías de la información y del conocimiento (TIC) en la educación superior (ES), así como los beneficios y desafíos que surgen en este proceso. Para filtrar los artículos se seleccionaron cuatro criterios de inclusión: fuente (bases de datos Scopus y Redalyc), idioma (español e inglés), periodo de tiempo (2014-2019) y contexto (co-diseño entre profesores y estudiantes haciendo uso de la tecnología dentro del marco de una asignatura en instituciones de ES). Los resultados muestran que no existe un proceso unificado para co-diseñar haciendo uso de las TIC en ES. Además, el co-diseño educativo (CE) muestra varios desafíos, sin embargo, son esos mismos, los que hacen que la asociación entre profesor y alumnado sea beneficiosa. No obstante, para superar estos obstáculos, se sugirieron algunos requisitos a cumplir para el buen funcionamiento del CE. Se recomienda, diseñar un modelo de CE mediado por tecnología educativa que establezca secuencias didácticas, así como, indagar sobre cómo co-diseñar la evaluación entre profesor y estudiante haciendo uso de las TIC.
