Introduction to Rubrics: An Assessment Tool to Save Grading Time, Convey Effective Feedback, and Promote Student Learning. Sterling, VA: Stylus Publishing. University of Minnesota, Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA), Virtual Assessment Center: Creating Rubrics; Winter H., (2002).
Article quality is based on a partial letter-grade class system (See 'quality assessment rubric' for a full breakdown of each class). Content quality is somewhat standard across articles, but may contain some variation depending on the amount of reliable secondary sources available for use in the article.
Because most authentic assessments require a judgement of the degree of quality, they tend toward the subjective end of the assessment scale. Rubrics are an "attempt to make subjective measurements as objective, clear, consistent, and as defensible as possible by explicitly defining the criteria on which performance or achievement should be ...
An informal assessment usually occurs in a more casual manner and may include observation, inventories, checklists, rating scales, rubrics, performance and portfolio assessments, participation, peer and self-evaluation, and discussion.
A rubric consists of a set of criteria or descriptions that guides a rater to score or grade a writer. The origins of rubrics can be traced to early attempts in education to standardize and scale writing in the early 20th century. Ernest C Noyes argues in November 1912 for a shift toward assessment practices that were more science-based.
The purpose of standards-based assessment [5] is to connect evidence of learning to learning outcomes (the standards). When standards are explicit and clear, the learner becomes aware of their achievement with reference to the standards, and the teacher may use assessment data to give meaningful feedback to students about this progress.
Peer assessment, or self-assessment, is a process whereby students or their peers grade assignments or tests based on a teacher's benchmarks. [1] The practice is employed to save teachers time and improve students' understanding of course materials as well as improve their metacognitive skills.
Most standardized tests are forms of summative assessments (assessments that measure the learning of the participants at the end of an instructional unit). Because everyone gets the same test and the same grading system, standardized tests are often perceived as being fairer than non-standardized tests.
