In order to measure the performance of the children especially to activities that can’t be easily measured in score, e.g. oral presentation activities, etc., it is best to have them score in a Rubrics. What then is a Rubric? Why is it essential to use the Rubric? What are the components of Rubrics in a specific approach?
A Rubric is an assessment tool used by teachers and students. It is a guide for critiquing the effectiveness of compositions, oral presentations, term papers, plays, reports, multi-media presentations and other projects. It is a process of establishing the essential goals and assessment criteria for a school work whether written or oral. It is also a set of categories which define and describe the important components of the work being completed, critiqued, or assessed.
A Rubric answers the questions like - By what criteria will the work be judged?, What is the difference between good work and weaker work?, How can we make sure our judgments (or scores) are valid and reliable?, How can both performers and teachers as judges focus their preparation on excellence?
Rubrics are very important because it can be an aid to focus instruction intentionally. It is use to guide feedback descriptively. It is used to characterize desired results objectively. It is operationalizing performance standards purposefully and it develops self-assessment competence constantly to develop students thoughtfully.
The basis for making Rubrics is to form criteria which condition a performance that must be met for it to be considered successful and valid.
For example: This criterion is for an expository composition.
CRITERIA
- Content, Organization of Thoughts, Style or Fluency, Grammar, Usage, Mechanics and Spelling, Neatness and Legibility, Time of Submission
Teachers can make their own Rubrics. What is important in making a Rubric is that it will always have that sense of direction in making clear the measurements of a certain test or ability that it doesn’t void the result.
