Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFChecklists, rating scales, and rubrics are tools that state-specific criteria and allow teachers and students to gather information and make judgments about what students know and can do in relation to the outcomes.
Key Points
The quality of information acquired through the use of checklists, rating scales, and rubrics is highly dependent on the quality of the descriptors chosen for assessment or deduction. Their benefit is also dependent on students’ direct involvement in the assessment and understanding of the feedback provided.
The purpose of checklists, rating scales, and rubrics is to:
- provide tools for systematic recording of observations
- provide tools for self-assessment
- provide samples of criteria for students prior to collecting and evaluating data on their work records for the development of specific skills, strategies, attitudes, and behaviors necessary for demonstrating learning
- clarify students' instructional needs by presenting a record of current accomplishments.
Hence Rubrics is the name for the type of checklist or rating scale that expresses criteria on some point-scale to determine the quality of the performance of a student.
Additional Information
- Rubrics use a set of criteria to evaluate a student's performance.
- They consist of a fixed measurement scale and a detailed description of the characteristics for each level of performance.
- These descriptions focus on the quality of the product or performance and not the quantity; e.g., not the number of paragraphs, examples to support an idea or spelling errors. Rubrics are commonly used to evaluate student performance with the intention of including the result in a grade for reporting purposes. Rubrics can increase the consistency and reliability of scoring.
