  2. Participants’ Learning Outcomes • At the end of this training section, participants will be able to do the following: • Determine which types of assignments need to use a rubric for grading; • Design a rubric for grading student work.

  3. What is a rubric? • A rubric is a systematic scoring guide to evaluate student performance. It specifies levels of quality in identified areas.

  4. What types of assignments require the use of a rubric? • A rubric is needed if an assignment entails varied responses, rather than one correct answer: • Essay • Essay questions on an exam • Research paper • Oral presentation • Portfolio • Demonstration of critical thinking skills • Demonstration of technical skills • An Art Show, etc.

  5. What doesn’t require the use of rubrics? • If assignments or exam questions entail only right or wrong answers, then there is no need for a rubric. A score distribution guide indicating the distribution of points for correct answers is used instead. • Math questions • Multiple-choice questions • True or false questions • Filling-in-the-blanks test • Matching exercise or test

  6. Discussion • Which of the following assignments requires the use of a rubric? (There are 3 of them.) • A welding project, using appropriate design and materials to weld the common joints • Multiple-choice questions on an exam • Students’ self-report on their experience with service learning • Clinical performance • True or false questions demonstrating students’ knowledge of medical law • Final exam with a combination of multiple-choice • questions and matching lists.

  7. How to create a rubric? • There are many kinds of rubrics, but the most commonly used rubric is the descriptive rubric. • A descriptive rubric should include at least three essential parts: • A Set of Indicators of Learning • A Scale • A Set of Descriptors

  8. Identifying Indicators of Learning • Indicators of Learning are traits or features of an assignment that an instructor wants to make judgment on. • Indicators of Learning should be aligned with the instructional objectives. If an instructor’s objectives of teaching an essay are related to helping students compose an essay that is focused, coherent, organized, etc., then these features should serve as indictors of learning. • Example 1: Indicators of Learning for an Essay for an English class: • Focus • Coherence • Organization • Sentence Structure • Word Choice

  9. Identifying Indicators of Learning • Example 2: Indicators of Learning for Critical Thinking Skills: • Explanation of issues • Evidence • Influence of context and assumptions • Student’s position (perspective, thesis/hypothesis) • Conclusions and related outcomes (implications and consequences) • Example 3: Indicators of Learning for an Oral Presentation: • Organization • Subject Knowledge • Graphics • Mechanics • Eye Contact • Elocution

  10. Creating a Scale A scale indicates points to be assigned in scoring a piece of work on a continuum of quality. High numbers are typically assigned to the best work. Scale examples: Needs Improvement (1)... Satisfactory (2)... Good (3)... Exemplary (4) Beginning (1)... Developing (2)... Accomplished (3)... Exemplary (4) Needs work (1)... Good (2)... Excellent (3) Novice (1)... Apprentice (2)... Proficient (3)... Distinguished (4)

  11. Creating a Descriptor Descriptors are used to describe signs of performance at each level; the description needs to include both strengths and weaknesses (Weaknesses should be described particularly in lower levels of performance). Example 1: Word Choice (in an essay): 4-- Vocabulary reflects a thorough grasp of the language appropriate to the audience. Word choice is precise, creating a vivid image. Metaphors and other such devices may be used to create nuanced meaning. 3-- Vocabulary reflects a strong grasp of the language appropriate to the audience. Word choice is accurate, but may be inappropriate in a couple of places. 2-- Vocabulary reflects an inconsistent grasp of the language and may be inaccurate or inappropriate to the audience. 1-- Vocabulary is typically inaccurate and inappropriate to the audience. Word choice may include vague, non-descriptive, and/or trite expressions.

  12. Creating a Descriptor Example 2: Depth of Discussion (in a research paper) 4– In-depth discussion and elaboration in all sections of the paper 3– In-depth discussion and elaboration in most sections of the paper 2-- The writer has omitted pertinent content, or content runs on excessively. Quotations from others outweigh the writer’s own ideas excessively. 1– Cursory discussion in all the sections of the paper or brief discussion in only a few sections.
