LESSON 3 Scoring Rubrics

Learning Create a scoring rubric to evaluate the process of the activities to

Outcomes target the learning competencies.

Time Frame 2 sessions

Integrating assessment methods throughout the learning cycle
engages students and enhances teaching and learning. In this
module, students will explore ways to make assessment part of the
teaching and learning cycle in your classroom.
World’s Best Chocolate Chips
You will have to work as a group and you will be thinking what
criteria to assess a world’s best chocolate chips. Have three kinds
of chocolate chips that is available in the market. You have to mark
the chocolate chips A, B, & C.
You will using the matrix scaffold below to come up with an
evaluation tool in order to assess the world’s best chocolate chips.
Activity Think of words to describe the criteria you want to include when
assessing chocolate chips. Let’s say we want to include
crunchiness, taste, size and texture.
In each cell describe what to you is excellent when it comes to
crunchiness, taste, size and texture. Write it in every cell, start from
excellent, then to needs improvement columns and then work on
the middle part later.

 After you filled up all the cells in the matrix, its time for you to start
evaluating the chocolates chips using the evaluation tool that you
created.
Use the table below as scaffold in evaluating your chocolate chips.
The chocolate with the highest result will be the winner.

Questions to work on
1. How do you find the activity?
2. Where you able to describe properly each criterion in the
matrix?
3. Do you find it easy or difficult to describe each criterion and
its level of performance?
4. What makes it easy or difficult?
Analysis 5. What did you learn from the activity?

Assessment purposes
 Gauge student needs
 Encouraging collaboration and self-direction
 Monitoring progress
 Checking understanding and encouraging metacognition
 Demonstrating understanding
Abstraction
What is Formative assessment?
The kind of assessment that occurs before and during a unit of
study is called formative assessment, because it helps to form an
understanding of learning that is in progress.

When do I use formative assessment?

Formative assessment is part of learning and can be embedded
during classroom work. You probably already do formative

 assessment, but may not realize it. It includes, for example,
observing students, having students share their work, or reviewing
student work. Formative assessment may be done by teachers as
well as students for themselves and their peers.
Using Rubrics as a tool for formative assessment
A rubric is a versatile and flexible instrument that can support
assessment for all purposes and can be used with many different
methods.

Benefits of rubrics
1. Rubrics can be used for both formative and summative
assessment
- students can use rubric as they work on a product or
performance to help them assess their work, and a teacher
can use the same rubric to make a final assessment or grade.
Rubrics of 21st century skills can help students think about
their learning processes while they work projects in order to
reflect and set goals.

2. Other kinds of instruments can be developed from

rubrics.
- Checklist can be expanded into rubrics, and the highest
level of a rubric can often be made into a checklist. Rubrics
can also be modified into scoring guides to assign points or
grades to final products and performances.

3. Students can use rubrics throughout a project or unit

for self and peer-assessment
-Rubrics give students the language and concrete
descriptions they need to assess their own products,
performances and processes and to give feedback to peers.

4. Rubrics can make instruction more effective.

- Rubrics set out the learning expectations for a unit and
can be used to plan instruction in 21st century skills.
Modeling the behaviors describe in the highest level of a
rubric gives students concrete examples of a skill, and
helps them to self-assess their skills and give their peers
good feedback.

 Process-oriented assessment is done before, during and after of a
particular activity, which we called assessment timeline. Let’s take
a look in the brochure making activity, the students will have to
start brainstorming about the articles, writings, photos, lay-out that
they are going to make and include in the brochure.

First, is the brainstorming part, you can start using peer and self-
assessment which are considered assessments before the conduct of
an activity.

Second, is during the making of an activity that is the next part of

assessment timeline, you can assess the students per group through
a peer collaboration rubric to monitor their progress.

 Third, is after the activity has been done, you have to assess the
output of the students or the group. This is the last part of an
assessment timeline.

It’s Your Turn Activity

After learning what an authentic assessment is all about such as
rubrics, it’s your turn to create a rubric based on the activity that
you decided upon in Lesson 2 of this module.

Application
Congratulations for creating your own rubric, this simply means
that you now grasp the meaning of authentic assessment and how it
can help maximize the potential of each learner.
