1. Rubrics for Assessment in WebQuest

2. How do you evaluate the following? Easy or difficult? Any problems? An oral presentation A Web page showing student research results A class debate Collaborative work skills Making a brochure Making a poster

3. The Rubric (table) Constructs in the forms of matrixes Vertical: Learning tasks or subtasks under a major task developed in the WebQuest Horizontal: Benchmark descriptions or criteria (statements) for different levels of outcomes/performance against each learning task

4. Rubric Matrix (Levels of learning outcomes) Tasks BeginningDevelopingAccomplishedExemplaryScore Stated tasks Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting a beginning level of performance. Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting development and movement toward mastery of performance. Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting mastery of performance. Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting the highest level of performance.

5. SOLO (Structure of the Observed Learning Outcomes) Model Prestructural The task is engaged, but the learner is distracted or misled by an irrelevant aspect Unistructural The learner focuses on the relevant domain, and picks one aspect to work with Multistructural The learner picks up more and more relevant or correct features, but does not integrate them Relational The learner now integrates the parts with each other, so that the whole has a coherent structure and meaning

7. Why Rubric? Evaluating student performance in areas which are complex and vague Giving clearer idea of what is expected in terms of specific performance Foster high level of learning which cannot be scored by numbers, such as critical thinking, creativity … Authentic assessment tool Evaluating a wider range of students’ work/deliverables For students, clarifying the unknown grades given to them For teachers, providing insights into the objectives of project learning

8. Authentic assessment Learning tasks in WebQuest involves real life activity where students are engaged in solving real-life problems Peer- and self-assessment  Students’ declaration on how much they have done
