Dear All:
Thank you for your patience. We have two weeks left, and believe you me that this class has been one of the most interesting to teach (and to learn). We need now to start thinking about your final project. I will give you a sample course sheet and you will create a test for each macro skill, and explain the rubric to use. More on this later.
For this week,
Blog (Wed and Sun)
Quiz analysis on Blog (due Sun)
Essay Reflection on Rubrics (due Sunday)
The First Blog:
Do research online and explain what you understand by "Rubrics", particularly in teaching languages... do not copy-paste, explain. Due Wednesday. We'll take it from there.

I understand by rubrics the elements that teachers use to evaluate the students to check their understanding and achievement in any particular skill based on certain criteria. Rubrics allow students to judge the quality of their performance in eny skill development and this quality is specified in different ratings. I know that to dising a rubrict is not easy , it is necesary to have plans with specific learning objectives, but at the end they make the teacher’s labor easier overall, at the moment of assingning scores because rubrics provide confidence ans fairness.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading some page on the web about this topic, I understood that rubrics are tools that contain the list of criteria that teachers use for scoring their students’ performance in one specific skill or assessment task. Also, rubrics are presented like a matrix that provides scales levels of achievement and performance for a particular assessment task. Rubrics are used for L2 teachers in order to give their students objective judgments and scores in assessments activities, for example oral presentations, essays, and written reports etc.

rubrics are designed for evaluating students, speaking, writing, grammar, vocabulary, performance, etc. so for us teachers is useful because it allows to evaluate our students. sometimes it can be useful ans sometimes it doesnt. they can not be trustfu, why do i say that . because sometimes the student can be nervous and that will affect his/her grade. however rubrics help for oral presentations, essays, etc.silvia
ReplyDeleteWhat I found is that rubrics are tools that teachers in any specific subject can use in order to measures students' work. It is a guide for teachers and students which should be handed out before the assigment begins to make the students know about the criteria that will be taken into account. It is also a formative type of assessment because in this part students put into practice what have been taught during a period of classes. So, rubrics can help the teacher to be more objective at the moment of evaluating students' performance.

Rubrics are tools for teachers. Using rubrics teachers can evaluate or assess writing and speaking skills easily. They have specific criteria for specific purposes. I am talking about writing and speaking because they are the most difficult skills to evaluate. Teachers must be objective at the moment of assessing or evaluating, so rubrics help teachers. Also there are rubrics that present scales in order to get a level in a specific ability.

Rubrics are very well designed testing sheets that teachers use to evaluate or assess students' performance. Rubrics describe what is expected on students' performance and they explain carefully what level of proficiency a student has. The levels go from the lowest to the highest one. Each level has a brief, short and clear description of the expected performance of the student being observed or evaluated. Also, Rubrics can be designed to assess the four macro skills and they give no chance to controversy in most of the cases because of the careful design and description of their levels of proficiency. To finish my idea, rubrics can be numerical or qualitative or both. Moreover, we have holistic scales which are more global in terms of giving a final veredict and analytical scales which are the sum of the rating for all the parts of the rubric.
