    This document discusses rubrics, which are assessment tools that outline specific criteria and performance levels. There are two main types of rubrics: holistic rubrics provide one overall score, while analytic rubrics evaluate individual components separately. Rubrics increase the consistency and objectivity of evaluations, guide student work, and provide feedback. They can be used to assess a wide range of tasks from presentations to portfolios. The document provides examples of holistic and analytic rubrics and offers tips for constructing rubrics, such as matching criteria to learning objectives and clearly describing performance levels.

    Rubrics

    Nalini Ramsawak-Jodha

    What is a rubric?
    An assessment tool
    A descriptive marking scheme
    Usually presented as a matrix
    Can be general or task specific

    What is a rubric used for?


    To assess measurable learning outcomes
    To guide development of products or processes for a
    given assessment task
    To identify levels of achievement, performance or
    quality for a given set of criteria
    To aid with giving formative feedback
    To determine or assign grades

    Why use a rubric?


    Creates a focus for teaching and learning
    Outlines and communicates what constitutes highquality vs. low quality
    Engages students in the learning process
    - from rubric development to
    - reflection and self-assessment of ones work

    Why use a rubric?


    Increases the consistency and objectivity of
    evaluating
    Provides guidelines to help structure feedback for
    students and teachers

    What can a rubric be used to assess?

    research reports
    essays
    theatrical/musical performances
    athletic performance
    individual and group presentations
    poster presentations
    participation as a member of a team or group
    portfolios
    journals etc.

    Types of rubrics
    Two major kinds are:
    Holistic
    Analytic
    Each of these types can be general or task specific

    Holistic rubrics
    Contain descriptors that generate a single score for
    the entire work
    Specific or component parts of the task are not
    judged individually

    Examples of Holistic Rubrics


    View the following examples of Holistic Rubrics:

    iar/students/report/rubrics-oral.php
    http://www.slideshare.net/missreynova/a-sample-o
    f-holistic-scoring-rubric

    Examples of Holistic Rubrics


    Both examples would be considered general as
    they can be used to assess oral presentations or
    essays from different topics or curriculum areas.

    Pros and cons of holistic rubrics


    Fast and easy to construct and use
    Gives a sense of overall quality/performance
    Gives limited feedback
    May overlook errors in individual parts of the
    process
    (Chase (1999), Nitko (2001), Mertler (2001))

    Analytic rubrics
    Specific components of the work are evaluated
    independently
    Components can be reported on individually or
    combined to attain a global score

    Examples of Analytic Rubrics


    View the following examples of Analytic Rubrics:

    ic-Rubric-Sample.pdf.aspx

    CommRubric3.pdf

    Examples of Analytic Rubrics


    Notice in the example how specific aspects of the
    oral presentation are being assessed instead of
    just an overall judgement of the oral
    presentation as it was in the holistic rubric.
    Also notice that you can use different criteria and
    performance labels. Compare the two examples
    of the analytic rubric for oral presentations.
    The examples are still general because they can
    be applied to any topic or curriculum area.

    Examples of Analytic Rubrics


    http://www.davisart.com/Promotions/SchoolArt
    s/PDF/11_08RubricSample.pdf
    This example is task specific. It applies to a
    particular task i.e. an essay on art criticism.

    Pros and cons of analytic rubrics


    Takes a longer time to develop and use
    Level of assessment and feedback is
    multidimensional
    Mertler (2001)

    When to use a particular type of


    rubric?

    You can decide which type of rubric best suits your


    needs, the needs of your student and helps you

    Components of a rubric
    Performance elements
    Category scale
    Criteria used to categorize work and/or assign points

    General guidelines for constructing


    a rubric
    1. Determine the elements or criteria that will be used
    to evaluate the work, ensuring that there is a match
    with your instructional objectives
    2. Identify the difference between good work and
    weaker work.
    3. Write clear descriptions of the types of work that
    will be assigned to each category or level of
    achievement.
    4. Evaluate the rubric and make adjustments

    Resources for creating rubrics


    You do not need to create a rubric from scratch all the time. There are helpful
    sites which can assist you in generating a rubric to suit a desired purpose. For
    example:
    Advanced Learning Technologies, University of Kansas (2006). Rubistar.

    TeAch-nology, Inc (undated). TeAch-nology. http://teachnology.com/web_tools/rubrics 7 June 2006

    Food for thought


    Do rubrics stifle creativity? How? Why?
    Can a rubric include or cater for creativity? How
    can this be done?
    Do some further reading and research on this area
