O knihe

What is a rubric and how are they being used in teacher education and evaluation? When did rubrics
become ubiquitous in the field of education? What impact do rubrics have on students, teachers, teacher
educators, and the educational enterprise? This book is an edited volume of essays that critically examine
the phenomenon of rubrics in teacher education, evaluation and education more broadly. Rubrics have seen
a dramatic rise in use and presence over the past twenty-five years in colleges of education and districts
across the country. Although there is a wealth of literature about how to make rubrics, there is scant
literature that explores the strengths and weaknesses of rubrics and the impact the rubric phenomenon is
having in reshaping education. The chapters included in this edited volume will critically reflect on the
contemporary contexts of rubrics and the uses and impact of rubrics in education. Since rubrics have
become indelible in education, it is necessary for a fuller, nuanced discussion of the phenomenon. Creating
a book that explores these aspects of rubrics is timely and fundamental to expanding the discourse on this
ubiquitous evaluation tool.
This book is not meant to be a series of chapters dedicated to best practices for creating rubrics, nor is this text meant to present all sides of the rubric
discussion. Rather, this text intends to offer critical polemics about rubrics that can spur greater critical discussion about a phenomenon in education
that has largely been unquestioned in the literature.
