2. RUBRICS FOR EVALUATION TOPIC OUTLINE • Rubrics: Structures and Functions • Using Rubrics for Educational Purposes • Creating Rubrics • Online Resources for Rubrics

3. 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)

4. 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

5. 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).

6. RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS 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

7. RUBRICS: STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS 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

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

9. Roles of Rubrics in Assessment USING RUBRICS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES • 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 Assessment is a process of information gathering about the characteristics of learners through tests or tasks.

10. Performance-based Assessment USING RUBRICS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES 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. At times, performance-based assessment has been used interchangeably with "authentic assessment" and "alternative assessment."”

12. 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

13. Characteristics of Effective Rubrics CREATING 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.

14. Characteristics of Effective Rubrics CREATING 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.

15. General Tips on Creating Rubrics 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.
