Difference Between Current and Past Users of RubiStar on the Use of Rubrics
Abstract: RubiStar is an online tool that enables teachers to easily create rubrics. In a survey, 284 respondents reported how they used rubrics. Significant differences were found between current and past users of the tool. Current users of RubiStar are more likely than past users to use rubrics to communicate requirements to students, to evaluate large projects using rubrics, to engage students in the process by designing the rubric and showing models that illustrate various proficiency levels to students, and to use more individual or unique rubrics throughout the year.
