F4 Lim Rubric-Referenced Oral Production Assessment
Diagnose students needs Inform T of Ss progress Establish Ss level of accomplishment Serve as a gauge of effectiveness of instruction
Performance Assessments are ways in which the teacher observes and makes a judgment about the students demonstration of a skill or competency in creating a product, constructing a response, or making a presentation
(McMillan, 2007, p. 229).
Understand teachers expectations Promotes self-assessment/ reflection Lowers anxiety Supports consistent and objective grading Provides sound justification Allows T to plan instruction Communicates clearly Ss performance to parents
Research Aim
Explore the perceptions of students on the uses of rubrics and present the actual use of students of these rubrics in their oral production assessments
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What are the perceptions of students on the uses of rubrics? 2. How do the participants use rubrics in:
understanding teachers expectations; planning for the assessment; process of delivering the speech; reflecting on the oral production performance; grading; and in dealing with speech anxiety?
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
3. How do students use rubrics in oral production assessments? 4. What are the limitations of the rubric based on students perceptions? 5. What are students suggestions on how to make rubric more useful for their learning?
METHOD
Research Design & Method
Qualitative/ Focus Group Discussion
Participants
St. Scholasticas College, Manila High School Unit
METHOD
Participants
Ten (10) 4th Year High School Students
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Ss recognized the value and use of rubrics in understanding teachers expectations, justifying the grades, and in reflecting on the oral production performance
For me, rubrics are like guides for both the student and the teacher. For the students, so they know what they should do and for the teachers, they know what they look for in the performance of the student. (Student # 6)
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Rubrics are not used by students in planning for their oral prod. assessments
Actually no, the lessons do. Its more of what we learned in class rather than the rubric, which helps us plan for our debate. Because usually, when we plan for our debate, we just assign roles, right?, and then do the arguments, and then, you do this, you do that. We dont really look at the rubric coz if you look at the rubric, youd be too scared and too anxious to actually execute what we have planned. (Student # 9)
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Rubrics are also not used during the delivery of the speech
Kasi feeling ko kaya hindi helpful din sa 4th year kasi diba debate, mas aalalahanin mo yung arguments mo kesa yung sa rubric. (Student #10)
I feel that rubrics are not that helpful for year 4 because we have debates you will not really think of the rubric because you will be too pre-occupied with your arguments to remember it.
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Rubrics aiding teachers in evaluating performance Rubrics as a subjective measure Rubrics triggering anxiety
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Very little attention
is given to rubrics before, during, and after oral production performances
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Understanding Ts Expectations
Rubrics are not really used in understanding Ts expectations (triggers anxiety) Lengthy descriptors discourage students from reading the rubric Issues on Clarity & General Comprehensibility of rubric descriptors (mastery of skills, involvement in rubric creation, provision of models)
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Reflecting on the Performance
Reflection takes place after they have received the grade; to be utilized in the succeeding oral performances Personal comments were deemed necessary
SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Justifying the Grade
Students issue on the score range Lack of general understanding of the descriptors
Underutilized Elements
Planning for the assessment Process of delivering the speech Improving overall performance
Perceived Limitation
Rubrics acting as straitjackets
Students Suggestions
Include personal comments Use short and concise descriptors Use a specific score for each performance level Involve Ss in rubric creation
Implications
Make Ss understand the value and uses of rubrics as instructional and grading tools Provide models of strong & weak oral production performances
Implications
Use the rubric in multiple oral production assessments Encourage Ss to engage in a reflection of their performance
