RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS Rubrics: DEFINITION “Rubrics are performance-based assessments that evaluate student performance on any given task or set of tasks that ultimately leads to a final product, or learning outcome.” (Why Use Rubrics, 2011)

RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS Structural Components: Parts SCALE Possible points for varying degrees of mastery or quality CRITERIA Dimensions of product being evaluated DESCRIPTORS Assess each of the dimensions corresponding to each scale

RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS Structural Components Types of Rubrics/Types of Scales ANALYTICAL HOLISTIC List the criteria on a grid. Shows the level of proficiency at the top. Each criterion tells the focus of assessment. List the expectations. Rate different levels of proficiency. Produces a single rating (over-all ranking).

RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS DEVELOPMENTAL Focus on the strengths and weaknesses of student work and help direct student growth Act as a critique Self-evaluation Less threatening to students and can be used as a peer evaluation

RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS SUMMATIVE Focus on evaluating student products and performances Give a quantitative measure These rubrics have a scored rating scale, which can be converted into a grade

USING RUBRICS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Roles of Rubrics in Teaching and Learning Student’s Self Evaluation Peer Evaluation Teacher Assessment Guided or Standard Rating Performance-based Assessment

USING RUBRICS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Roles of Rubrics in Assessment Assessment is a process of information gathering about the characteristics of learners through tests or tasks. Teachers can evaluate or assess student performance or proficiency in any given task Provide valuable information about the degree to which a student has achieved a defined learning outcome

USING RUBRICS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Performance-based Assessment At times, performance-based assessment has been used interchangeably with "authentic assessment" and "alternative assessment."” Performance-based tasks require performance-based assessments in which the actual student performance is assessed through a product, such as a completed project or work that demonstrates levels of task achievement.

CREATING RUBRICS Features of Rubrics Focus on measuring a stated objective (performance, behavior or quality) Use a range to rate performance Contain specific performance characteristics arranged in levels indicating the degree to which a standard has been met

CREATING RUBRICS Characteristics of Effective Rubrics Reflect the most significant elements related to success in a learning task. Enable students and teachers to accurately and consistently identify the level of competency or stage of development. Help teachers grade students' work more accurately and fairly.

CREATING RUBRICS Characteristics of Effective Rubrics Encourage students' self-evaluation and higher expectations. Are shared with students prior to beginning the task so they know the characteristics of quality work. Provide more information than just a narrow checklist of skills and attributes.

CREATING RUBRICS General Tips on Creating Rubrics Determine desired learning outcomes or educational objectives. List the criteria to be used in the rubric and allow for discussion of what counts as quality work. Ask for self and peer-assessment. Practice on models. Students can test the rubrics on sample assignments provided by the instructor. Articulate gradations of quality. Revise the work based on that feedback Use teacher assessment, which means using the same rubric the students used to assess their work.
