RUBRICS

What is a Rubric ? Rubric is a scoring scale used to assess student performance along a task-specific set of criteria. This consists of descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by teachers or other evaluator to guide the analysis of products or processes of students’ efforts. Types of Rubric 1. Analytic. It articulates levels of performance for each criterion so the teacher can assess student performance on each criterion. It describes the quality of performance or product in relation to specific criterion. 2. Holistic. It does not list separate levels of performance for each criterion. It assigns level of performance by assessing performance across multiple criteria as a whole. It describes the overall quality of a performance or a product

Parts of a Rubric 1. Performance Criteria. At least two criteria. Required = 5 2. Levels of performance. At least two levels. Required = 3 3. Quantitative and qualitative description of each level 4. Descriptors (analytic) 5. Scoring system

Process of Developing Scoring Rubrics 1. Identifying the qualities and attributes that the teacher wishes to observe in the students’ outputs that would demonstrate their level of competency. 2. Deciding whether a holistic or analytic rubric would be more appropriate. 3. Defining the criteria for the top level of performance. 4. Identifying and defining of the criteria for lowest level of performance.
