Reflection Unit 2

In Unit 2, I comprehended that there are several types of rubric to use

when assessing students performance. Rubrics such as: Checklists, which are

good to indicate what students can or cannot do, that they are not used to indicate

the quality of a product or performance. They are dichotomous; Analytic rubrics

have specific dimensions of the construct being measured, the Criteria is in series

of 4 to 6 performance level, they indicate the quality that a product or performance

should have, they are very detailed; holistic rubrics scores the overall process or

product as a whole. It focuses on the quality, proficiency, understanding of specific

content, teachers have a quicker scoring process, they are usually used in

summative assessment; rating scales expresses the degree of how skills,

competencies, strategies or language functions are performed, they have range of

frequency (always, sometimes, never), range of quality (great, good, awful) and

they are not so reliable.

Rubrics should be known by the raters beforehand. They should be

tested before a real assessment. Also test takers should know the rubrics

dimension so they know what to do in the assessing process.
