Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 0 views

  • self-assessment is not the same as self-grading
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      This is true in the same way peer assessment is not the same as checking your neighbor's paper.
  • the classroom must be supportive
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      This is why the Assessment for Learning model used with the Iowa Core shows the process occurs within a collaborative classroom culture.
  • students internalize the characteristics of quality work
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      This makes me think of Royce Sadler's work and his description that, "students must come to hold a conception of quality that matches the teacher's."

  • students critically review their own work with an eye for improvement.” (p. 172) They also recommend that teachers share expectations for assignments and define quality. Showing students examples of effective and ineffective pieces of work can help to make those definitions real and relevant.
  • Peer assessment allows the group members to provide a score or some kind of measurement on team members levels of participation and contributions

      What I'm struggling with most in this article is the idea that we should be incorporating "participation" and "contribution" with a student's grade. Perhaps this is mainly because the focus here is on higher education, where the grade is the only form of reporting achievement of the course expectations. In a standards-based environment, we advocate for separating behavior from achievement in a course grade, so that the grade more accurately reflects what the student knows relative to the content expectations.

Building A Better Mousetrap: The Rubric Debate - 7 views

  • a system designed to measure the key qualities (also referred to as “traits” or “dimensions”) vital to the process and/or product of a given assignment,
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      Unfortunately, many educators see rubrics simply as a way to assign a grade to a project.
  • points along a scale
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      Technically rubrics do not contain "points", as in number of items to count. The scale contains levels, also known as an ordinal scale. A Level 4 on the rubric is not necessarily twice as good as a Level 2, as it would be if the numbers were points.
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      In my opinion, this is a case of us being sloppy with language, and it makes for perhaps the most misunderstood aspect and misuse of rubrics.
  • “use an existing one ‘as is
    • Jennifer Riedemann
       
      User beware! There are LOTs of crummy rubrics available on the internet.

      Two other great resources to consult that have been written since this was published: "How to Create and Use Rubrics for Formative Assessment and Grading" by Susan Brookhart (ASCD, 2013) and "Creating & Recognizing Quality Rubrics" by Judy Arter & Jan Chappuis (Pearson, 2006).
