Using Rubrics to Foster Learning-Centered Practices

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Using Rubrics to Foster Learning-Centered Practices (ID: EDU06155)
Author(s):Phyllis Blumberg (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia) and JoAnn Gonzalez-Major (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Through the use of an online self-assessment rubric and supporting worksheets, faculty developers can guide faculty to incrementally change their teaching in five practice areas. Participants will use these materials to assess the learning-centered status of a course. We will also consider if all courses should be learner centered. We will discuss the various ways faculty developers can use self-assessment rubrics, and problems that can arise when administrators use formative evaluations as summative measures to make high-stakes decisions.
