Abstract
Being a teaching engineer implies many challenges, and one of them involves understanding clearly the difference between grading and evaluating, for they are the end of a learning process used to validate, verify, and give feedback. One may think that grading and evaluation are two ways to see what students have learned. This article presents the results of research conducted with teaching engineers to study their idea of grading vs evaluating and verify how they specifically see the difference. The methodology of the study was to interview a sample of teaching engineers from universities in a specific geographical area.
The study worked a qualitative approach although quantifications were used to facilitate analyses. The technique implemented was a structured interview with quantifiable open questions. The results indicate that teaching engineers have some ideas regarding this matter, yet they do not coincide with the theoretical aspects of teaching. Finally, it is fundamental to strengthen engineering teaching for teaching engineers.
