Improving Learning Through Assessment Rubrics : Student Awareness of What and How They Learn Paperback / softback

Assessment by rubrics has emerged as a tool with great potential to guide successful student learning from a competency-based approach.

Rubrics, as instruments that make it possible to share the criteria for carrying out learning and assessment tasks with students, are excellent roadmaps for student learning largely because they allow students to know what they are expected to do and what they are expected to achieve by carrying out the learning tasks.

Improving Learning Through Assessment Rubrics: Student Awareness of What and How They Learn contributes to the improvement of what is being evaluated by identifying the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the didactic use of rubrics in the assessment of university learning.

The book also provides a set of theoretical issues, methodological elements, and practical resources for the assessment of university learning using rubrics.

Covering topics such as active learning, self-assessment, and teacher identity, this reference work is ideal for administrators, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, educators, and students.
