    Rubric Design and Use

    Rubrics are assessment tools that indicate criteria to evaluate a student's work, whether written or oral. They help save time marking assignments by making criteria explicit for students and keeping assessments organized and reliable. Rubrics come in two main types: holistic rubrics consider all criteria together in one score, while analytic rubrics assess each criteria individually. When creating a rubric, the teacher decides the criteria, outlines work components, chooses a rating scale, and develops the rubric interactively with students for student-centered learning. Involving students in rubric creation helps them understand the purpose and develop ownership of their work.

    Assessment
    Rubrics
    A r bric is an assessmen ool ha indica es cri eria o e al a e s den s ork be i ri en
    to oral. Rubrics are helpful to mark assignments, class activities, presentations etc. They
    are particularly helpful because they can save you from writing comments on every
    assignment, thus saving time; make the marking criteria explicit for students thus
    resolving many queries of the students, keep you organized about marking specific
    components of assignments, making marking reliable and valid based on some defined
    criteria. Other than for assessment, rubrics also help teachers in planning how to teach
    an activity or what components should not be missed while guiding students.
    Rubrics are mostly divided into two types: holistic and analytical.

    Holistic Rubrics
    Holistic rubrics consist of a single scale with all criteria to be included in the evaluation
    being considered together. For example, the quality of an essay including content,
    organization and proofing will be judged holistically based on a single score (e.g.1-5 point
    scale) o make an o erall j dgmen of s den s ork.
    Example:

    Below Average Average Good Very Good Excellent


    1 2 3 4 5

    Analytic Rubrics
    Analytic rubrics explicitly break down assessment into its constitutive parts and assess
    them individually. Each part has assessment criteria with the details or guidelines
    pro ided o s den s. Th s anal ic r brics assess s den s performance
    comprehensively by detailing each part of the given assignment and describing the
    breakdown of criteria for better clarity of the students. For example, in a table, the top axis
    includes values expressed either numerically or by letter grade, or a scale from
    Exceptional to Poor etc. The side axis includes the assessment criteria for each
    component. Analytic rubrics can also permit different weightings for different components.
    Example:

    Excellent Very Good Good Average Below Average


    1/A 2/B 3/C 4/D 5/F

    How to Create a Rubric

    1. Decide he cri eria o e al a e s den s ork


    2. Outline the essential components of the work to be judged
    3. Decide the rating scale
    4. Leave space for comments
    5. Developing rubrics interactively with your students

    Students Involvement in Rubric Creation


    S den s in ol emen in crea ing r brics can help make learning and assessmen
    student-centered. You can involve them in the creation of rubrics for assessing their work
    in small or large groups by providing examples of some rubrics. By acting as a facilitator,
    you can guide them not only in creating rubrics themselves for the assessment of their
    work but also make them understand the purpose and utility of a rubric. Thus students
    can develop a sense of ownership of their work as well as participate in the decision-
    making process.

    Tips for Using Rubrics Effectively

    1. Use multiple rubrics for different activities


    2. Create rubrics yourself based on needs analysis
    3. Choose a concise and clear rating scale
    4. Share rubrics with students for transparency and student satisfaction
    5. Integrate rubrics in the assignments to be assessed
    6. Revise your rubrics on and off as required
    7. Try online tools for developing rubrics
