 Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the class, you should be able to:

i. Definitions of Rubrics.
ii. Describe the types of rubrics.
iii. Lists the criteria of a analytic and Holistic Rubrics.
iv. Prepare the Analytic Rubrics and Holistic Rubrics.

 What is Rubrics?
● Also known as rating scales, it can be powerful
tools for systematically quantifying the
performance of test takers
-(range) from excellent to poor
● A rubric is a guideline for rating one’s performance
based on specific criteria

www.utm.my innovative ● entrepreneurial ● global 12

 Characteristics of a Good Rubric

● Valid: Really measure what to be measured (measuring

intended objective)
● Reliable: Everybody understands the same thing when they
rating someone
-Contain specific performance characteristics arranged in levels
indicting the degree to which standard has been met

www.utm.my innovative ● entrepreneurial ● global 13

 Important Elements of Rubrics
● Criteria
-One or more traits or elements /dimensions of performance that serve as the basis
for judging

● Levels of Performance
-A scale of values on which to rate each dimension
Terms to be used:
-Needs improvement, satisfactory, good, exemplary
-Beginning, developing, accomplished, exemplary
-Needs work, good, excellent
-Novice, apprentice, proficient, distinguished
-Numeric scale ranging from 1 to 5 or any numbers

● Descriptors
-Descriptions of what is expected of students at each level of performance for each
criterion

 Types of Rubrics
● Analytic Rubric
- Analytic rubrics judge each individual characteristic of a
performance separately.

● Holistic Rubric
- Holistic rubrics describe the characteristics of a
performance to give an overall judgment of its quality.

 Analytic Rubrics
● Describes levels of performance for each criterion to assess student
performance on each of them
● Are designed to assess students’ work based on specified criteria and
different degrees of quality of the assignment
● Each portion is scored independently using a rating scale
● Final score is made up of adding each components parts

 Holistic Rubrics
● Assigns a level of performance by assessing performance
across multiple criteria as a whole indicate by one single score
(holistic)
● Holistic rubrics tend to be used when a quick judgement
needs to be made

 Holistic Rubric VS Analytic Rubric
Holistic Rubric
Holistic rubrics provide a single score based on an
overall impression of a student’s performance on a task
Advantages
-Quick scoring, provides overview of student
achievement
-Quick scoring/ time saving
-Written generically and can be used with many tasks
-Good for summative assessments as they give an
overall judgment of performance
Disadvantages
-Does not provide detailed information, may be
difficult to provide one overall score
-Do not provide specific feedback about strengths or
areas to improve
-Not useful for formative assessment

Analytic Rubric
Analytic rubrics provide specific feedback along
several dimensions
-More detailed feedback, scoring more consistent
across students and grades
-More detailed feedback along several dimensions,
since each criterion is evaluated separately (i.e. you
know what to work on!)
-Dimensions can be weighted to reflect the relative
importance of different criteria
-Useful for formative assessment (providing feedback
to students) when the same rubric categories are used
consistently.
-Scoring is more consistent across students and raters
Time consuming to score

 Which types of rubric should you choose?

● Use a Holistic Rubric if you want a quick, overall snapshot of

student achievement.

● Use an Analytic Rubric when you want more detailed

feedback about relative strengths and weaknesses, when
you want to assess complex skills, or when you want
students to self-assess.

 Advantages of Rubrics
For teachers
Allow evaluation and assessment to be
more objective and consistent
Help focus to clarify his/her criteria in
specific terms
Provide useful feedback regarding the
effectiveness of the instruction
Provide benchmarks against which to
measure and document progress
www.utm.my
For students
Help them define “quality”
Promote student awareness of about the
criteria to use in assessing peer
performance
Helps students judge and revise their own
work before handing in their assignments
Clearly show the student how their work
will be evaluated and what is expected
