Rubrics

A rubric is a scoring tool that explicitly represents the performance expectations for an assignment or piece of work. A rubric divides the assigned work into component parts and provides clear descriptions of the characteristics of the work associated with each component, at varying levels of mastery. Rubrics can be used for a wide array of assignments: papers, projects, oral presentations, artistic performances, group projects, etc.

Rubrics can be used as scoring or grading guides, to provide formative feedback to support and guide ongoing learning efforts, or both. Advantages of Using Rubrics Using a rubric provides several advantages to both instructors and students. Used more formatively, rubrics can help instructors get a clearer picture of the strengths and weaknesses of their class. Grading rubrics are also valuable to students. Examples of Rubrics Here are links to a diverse set of rubrics designed by Carnegie Mellon faculty and faculty at other institutions. Visible Learning for Teachers: 20150219-Uni-Frankfurt.

Dan Ariely on our buggy moral code. Ideology, survelliance, and the software in our classrooms. I’ve agreed to write a chapter for a very exciting new collection being edited by Robin Goodfellow and Mary Lea, titled Literacy in the Digital University (Robin’s blog on the same subject is here).

Ideology, survelliance, and the software in our classrooms

I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of this project. My chapter is going to explore how “course management software” is shaping our pedagogy – in and out of the classroom – in ways we both understand and ways that may be more subtle. More to the point, though, is that I think the construction and use of this software (Blackboard and the like) is often antithetical to what we regard as good writing pedagogy and the effective uses of digital media. So here’s where I’m going with this right now. Course management software, such as Blackboard, is purchased by universities and often required of faculty and students for everything from distribution of course materials to posting of grades. But all is not grim. Like this: Like Loading... Soziologie - Kritik zu Heinz Bude: „Bildungspanik.

Soziologie - Kritik zu Heinz Bude: „Bildungspanik. Was unsere Gesellschaft spaltet“

Denn um das richtige Bildungssystem wird mit harten Bandagen gekämpft. Der in Kassel lehrende Soziologe verspricht nun „überraschende Lösungen für diesen „kulturellen Klassenkampf“. Dass es die tatsächlich bräuchte, zeigt die Kompromisslosigkeit der Gegner. Auf der einen Seite stehen die Apologeten der Gesamtschule, die mit dem gemeinsamen Lernen die „institutionellen Ghettos im Bildungssystem“ abschaffen wollen.
