RUBRIC ETYMOLOGY

c.1375, ”Directions in religious services" (often in red writing), from O.Fr. rubrique, from L. rubrica "red ochre, red coloring matter," from ruber, from PIE base *rudhro- (see red).

All the clergy in England solemnly pledge themselves to observe the rubrics. (d) Hence, that which is established or settled, as by authority; a thing definitely settled or fixed. --Cowper.

Online Etymology Dictionary, 2001 Douglas-Harper

WHAT IS A RUBRIC?

A scoring tool used to measure specific

elements against a fixed scale

WHY USE RUBRICS

Well-designed rubrics increase an assessment's construct and content validity by aligning evaluation criteria to standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment tasks.

Well-designed rubrics increase an assessment's reliability by setting criteria that raters can apply consistently and objectively.

Evaluating student work by established criteria reduces bias.

Identifying the most salient criteria for evaluating a performance and writing descriptions of excellent performance can help teachers clarify goals and improve their teaching.

Rubrics help learners set goals and assume responsibility for their learning—they know what comprises an optimal performance and can strive to achieve it.

WHY USE RUBRICS

Learners receive specific feedback about their areas of strength and weakness and about how to improve their performance.

Learners can use rubrics to assess their own effort and performance, and make adjustments to work before submitting it for a grade.

Time spent evaluating performance and providing feedback can be reduced.

When students participate in designing rubrics, they are empowered to become self-directed learners.

Rubrics help teachers move away from subjective grading by allowing them and others, including students themselves, to assess work based on consistent, often agreed upon, and objective criteria.

CREATING TASK BASED RUBRICS

Brainstorm all the possible elements or criteria that could be assessed in the performance task. Determine which elements are "non-negotiable." Which criteria could be part of the task description as baseline requirements or provided as a checklist? Prioritize the elements that are left:

What are the content and language goals of the unit?

What do you really want the students to emphasize in their performance?

How important is the overall "look" of the project (interest, appeal, creativity, neatness)?

Is culture represented in the rubric, if applicable?

Are the standards you targeted represented in the rubric?

Determine 3 to 5 elements or criteria that will be incorporated in the rubric to define a quality performance.

RUBRIC LEVELS

How many levels of performance do you wish to include in the rubric? How should they be defined? For example, POOR, GOOD, EXCELLENT-Or you may choose to use simply a 3, 4, or 5-point scale, noting, however, that a 3-point scale does not account for the fluctuation that exists within the average range. Some suggest that a 4-point scale is ideal, and that more than 4 points makes a scale cumbersome and difficult to use.

Consider the elements or criteria you have chosen one at a time. Begin with the highest level of the scale to define top quality performance. This is the level that you want all students to achieve and it should be challenging. How would you describe a representation that exceeds expectations? meets expectations? does not meet expectations?

Are the levels you have created parallel? That is, are the criteria present in all levels?

The difference between a 2 and a 3 performance should not be more than the difference between a 3 and a 4 performance.

Is there an expectation of quality at the average (meets expectations) level of the scale?

RUBRIC ISSUES TO THINK ABOUT

Are the characteristics of each performance level described clearly? Will the descriptors give students enough information to know what they need to improve?

Does the rubric adequately reflect the range of levels at which students may actually perform given tasks? Are the criteria at each level defined clearly enough to ensure that scoring is accurate, unbiased and consistent? Could several teachers use the rubric and score a student’s performance within the same range?

Does the rubric attend to process as well as product?

Are all criteria equally important, or does it make sense to weight an element more than the others? Are you attending carefully to the language used in the rubric? Use demonstrative verbs. Keep to observable behaviors. Avoid negatives ("begins without preparation" versus "does not prepare"). Be specific. Instead of "many errors" you may want to specify "six or more errors".

OTHER ISSUES TO CONSIDER

Rubrics need to be discussed with students to create an understanding of expectations.

There is a fine balance between modeling excellent work and creating a "template" that is replicated by the students to the detriment of creativity.

If a student can achieve a high score on all the criteria and still not perform well at the task, you have the wrong criteria.

Make sure that the expectations in the rubric are directly aligned with the instruction of the lesson/unit. Students shouldn’t be expected to do what they haven’t been previously taught or shown.

Some suggest that generic rubrics are more useful because creating rubrics is time-consuming and the more often they can be applied, the better.

It is also more informative for students if the same rubric is used again and again, because they can see themselves making progress over time. On the other hand, generic rubrics are much less tied to the task and may not provide the desired criteria for your specific needs.
