Students Perceived Uses of Rubrics

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

Actual Use of Rubrics

SUMMARY of FINDINGS
Very little attention
is given to rubrics before, during, and after oral production performances

All Ss considered rubrics as an effective tool in evaluating learning

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

That in all things, God may be glorified!
