Rubric design workshop
This document discusses rubrics, including what they are, why they are used, different types of rubrics, and steps for developing and implementing rubrics. A rubric is defined as a set of criteria that specifies the characteristics and levels of achievement for an outcome. Rubrics provide consistency in evaluation, gather rich assessment data, and allow for direct measurement of learning. There are two main types of rubrics: analytic rubrics that evaluate each criterion separately, and holistic rubrics that provide a single overall score. Developing an effective rubric involves identifying learning outcomes, determining assessment methods, choosing dimensions and performance levels, writing clear descriptors, testing the rubric, and training raters.

- 3. What is arubric? • Definition: “a set of criteria specifying the characteristics of an outcome and the levels of achievement in each characteristic.” • Benefits - Provides consistency in evaluation and performance - Gathers rich data - Mixed-method - Allows for direct measure of learning
- 4. Why use rubrics? •Provides both qualitative descriptions of student learning and quantitative results • Clearly communicates expectations to students • Provides consistency in evaluation • Simultaneously provides student feedback and programmatic feedback • Allows for timely and detailed feedback • Promotes colleague collaboration • Helps us refine practice
- 5. Types of Rubrics- Analytic Analytic rubrics articulate levels of performance for each criteria used to assess student learning. Advantages • Provide useful feedback on areas of strength and weakness. • Criterion can be weighted to reflect the relative importance of each dimension. Disadvantages • Takes more time to create and use than a holistic rubric. • Unless each point for each criterion is well-defined raters may not arrive at the same score

- 7. Types of Rubrics- Holistic A holistic rubric consists of a single scale with all criteria to be included in the evaluation being considered together. Advantages • Emphasis on what the learner is able to demonstrate, rather than what s/he cannot do. • Saves time by minimizing the number of decisions raters make. • Can be applied consistently by trained raters increasing reliability. Disadvantages • Does not provide specific feedback for improvement. • When student work is at varying levels spanning the criteria points it can be difficult to select the single best description. • Criteria cannot be weighted.

- 15. Training for Consistency 1.Inter-rater reliability: Between-rater consistency Affected by: • Initial starting point or approach to scale (assessment tool) • Interpretation of descriptions • Domain / content knowledge • Intra-rater consistency 2. Intra-rater reliability: Within-rater consistency Affected by: • Internal factors: mood, fatigue, attention • External factors: order of evidence, time of day, other situations • Applies to both multiple-rater and single rater situations Levy, J.D.

- 16. Testing your Rubric •Use a Meta-rubric to review your work • Peer review- ask one of your peers to review the rubric and provide feedback on content • Test with students - use student work or observations to test the rubric • Revise as needed • Test again • Multiple raters – norm with other raters if appropriate Levy, J.D.

Editor's Notes
- #14 Focus your descriptions on the presence of the quantity and quality that you expect, rather than on the absence of them. However, at the lowest level, it would be appropriate to state that an element is “lacking” or “absent” (Carriveau, 2010) Keep the elements of the description parallel from performance level to performance level. In other words, if your descriptors include quantity, clarity, and details, make sure that each of these outcome expectations is included in each performance level descriptor.

- #16 When using a rubric for program assessment purposes, faculty members apply the rubric to pieces of student work (e.g., reports, oral presentations, design projects). To produce dependable scores, each faculty member needs to interpret the rubric in the same way. The process of training faculty members to apply the rubric is called "calibration." It's a way to calibrate the faculty members so that scores are accurate and reliable. Reliability here means that the scorers apply the rubric consistently, not only to each piece of student work (called intrarater reliability), but among themselves (called interrater reliability).
