In keeping with the rationale of CLIL, RUBRICS measure performance
An authentic assessment tool for teachers and studentsDefine performance qualityProvide clear guidelines for qualityShow students how to fulfill the guidelines
Make students aware of and responsible for their own improvement
Provide feedback about strengths; areas in need of improvementValuable: both teachers and students
HOLISTIC vs. ANALYTICAL• Views a whole; describes
characteristics of different levels of performance.
• Criteria are summarized for each score level.
• Takes less time to create.
• But does not provide detailed information about student performance in specific areas of content or skill.
• Student may exhibit traits at two or more levels at the same time.
• Defined separate facets; independently valued, and scored.
• Provide more detailed information; useful in planning and improving instruction, communicating with students
• Time consuming to articulate components
• Difficult to write language clear enough to define performance levels effectively: “very clear” and “very organized” (may be clear, but not organized or vice versa)
Holistic Research Rubric3 - Excellent Researcherincluded 10-12 sources
no apparent historical inaccuracies can easily tell which sources information was drawn from
all relevant information is included
2 - Good Researcherincluded 5-9 sources
few historical inaccuracies can tell with difficulty where information came from
bibliography contains most relevant information
1 - Poor Researcherincluded 1-4 sources
lots of historical inaccuracies cannot tell from which source information came
bibliography contains very little information
ANALYTICAL RubricLevel = degree of success (1,2,3 points or “good”, “poor”)Criteria = what is considered important for the completion of the task, activity.
Designing a Rubric
1. Identify what you want your students to know and be
able to do -- your standards.
2. Develop authentic tasks they can perform. Ask yourself how students can demonstrate that they have met your standards after completing the task.
3. What are your absolutes? What MUST be present? Each task or activity demands different criteria. Steps followed correctly? Data adequately referenced? Grammatically correct? Neatness? Creative thinking? Task completion? Determine which elements are "non-negotiable".
Designing a Rubric
4. Brainstorm all the aspects (standards) and then prioritize your list: How important is the overall "look" of the project (interest, appeal, creativity)? Is “effort” important to you?
5. Keep the number of criteria manageable. You do not have to look for everything on every assessment.
6. 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?
Remember that rubrics...
• Need to be piloted or tried out a few times first.
• Need to be discussed with students to create an understanding of expectations.
• Remember that you are rating the paper,
product or performance, not the student. This is just one performance assessment--not overall ability.
and remember that...
• “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" (Wiggins, cited in Clementi, 1999).
• Expectations in the rubric should be 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.
• An odd-numbered scoring scale is anti-productive: Beware of the dreaded "mid-point catch-all“.
