1) A rubric is a guideline that lists the criteria used to assess the quality of student work on a scale, such as excellent to poor. It helps evaluate student performance and provides communication about expectations.
2) Good rubrics clearly describe what is being assessed, are visually appealing, reliable, valid, fair, and connected to the learning goals. Everyone should understand them consistently.
3) Key steps to designing a rubric include identifying learning goals, choosing measurable outcomes, developing or adapting a rubric, sharing it with students, assessing student work, and analyzing results.
3. `What is RUBRIC?
A rubric is a guideline for rating student
performance
A rubric is scoring tool that lists the criteria or
‘what counts’ for a piece of work
An evaluation tool that describes quality of
work on a (range) from excellent to poor
A communication tool
4. GOOD RUBRICS
• Do what you want them to do, assess what you
want to assess.
• Are pleasing to look at, are easy on the eyes, are
clear to everyone, are not too big or small for their
purpose.
• Are reliable, valid, fair, and completely connected
to what you are assessing.
• Everybody understands the same thing when they
read one, but they can still be scary.
5. Basic Steps to Design Rubric
1. Identify a learning goal
2. Choose outcomes that may be measured with a rubric
3. Develop or adopt (adapt) an existing rubric
4. Share it with students
5. Assess/Grade
6. Analyze and report results
7. HOLISTIC RUBRICS
• Holistic rubrics-provide a single score based
on an overall impression of a student’s
performance on a task.
• It used to score student work as a whole
yielding one holistic scored
8. There is no correct answer/response to ask a
task (e.g. creative work).
The focus is on overall quality, proficiency, or
understanding of a specific content or skills.
The assessment is summative (e.g. at the end
of the semester or major)
Assessing significant numbers (e.g. 150
students portfolio)
When to use Holistic Rubrics:
10. ANALYTIC
RUBRICS
•Analytic rubrics provide specific feedback
along several dimensions and descriptors of
products
•Breaks the objective into components parts
•Each portion is scored independently using a
rating scale
•Final score is made up of adding each
components parts
11. • Several faculty are collectively assessing
student work.
• Outside audiences will be examining rubric
scores.
• Profiles of specific strength/weaknesses are
desired.
When to use Analytic Rubrics
13. Holistic rubrics provide a
single score based on an
overall impression of a
student’s performance on a
task.
Analytic rubrics provide
specific feedback along
several dimensions. ƒ
ADVANTAGES
quick scoring, provides
overview of student
achievement
more detailed feedback,
scoring more consistent
across students and graders ƒ
DISADVANTAGES
does not provide detailed
information, may be difficult
to provide one overall score
time consuming to score
vs.
