EDUC 603-Chapter 8 Practice

Which of the following is true about holistic rubrics? Select all that apply.

• They present and score the overall performance of learners.

• They present and score a number of very specific aspects of the performance.

• They tend to focus on both process and product variables.

• They tend to focus only on product variable.

Which of the following is/are true about analytic rubrics? Select all that apply.

• They present specific criteria for different levels of performance related to each, individual variable of interest.

• They present and score the overall performance of learners.

• They tend to focus on both process and product variables.

• They tend to focus only on product variables.

Which of the following is a limitation of analytic rubrics? Select all that apply.

• They do not communicate the goals and objectives of the performance defining the learning experience

• They make it harder to enable effective and consistent peer evaluation.

• They make it too easy to conduct final evaluations of the complex tasks included in the performance.

• They require teachers to develop multiple iterations of the rubric over a number of implementations.

Which of the following is a benefit of analytic rubrics?

• They help to minimize subjectivity in the assessment and evaluation process.

• They make it harder to conduct final evaluations of the complex tasks included in the performance.

• They require teachers to develop multiple iterations of the rubric over a number of implementations.

• They are not labor-intensive to develop.

A single-point rubric allows for the inclusion of notes about what is good about a performance AND what needs to be improved.

• True

• False

A single-point rubric is more labor-intensive to create than a typical analytic rubric.

• True

• False

Mr. Green is a high school science teacher who is concerned about his students’ ability to write lab reports that will prepare them for success in their college lab science courses. He decides to use an analytic rubric to assess his students’ write-ups after each lab experience.

Students will write a college-level lab report that includes an appropriate title, detailed introduction, clear hypothesis, description of the experimental design and data collection procedures, appropriate and properly-labeled data tables, accurate data analysis with all procedures detailed, and both discussion and conclusion paragraphs.

With the help of ChatGPT, Mr. Green develops the following rubric:

Based on the recommendations for good rubric design, which of the following statements are true about the design of this rubric?

• The number of criteria categories are appropriate.

• Most of the criteria categories in this rubric address product, not process variables.

• All criteria categories can use the same scoring amounts for each level because they are all balanced.

• The rubric adequately addresses the assessment of the part of the objective that includes “appropriate and properly-labeled data tables”.

• The distinction between the levels of performance in the “Hypothesis” category is clear:

  Excellent: Clearly and concisely states a testable hypothesis with appropriate reasoning.

  Good: States a testable hypothesis with reasoning.
