The Key to Performance Assessment: The Scoring Guide

The scoring guide establishes a target that does not move. It allows students to hit a target if they know what it is and that it is not moving.

What is a Scoring Guide?

  • An established set of criteria with descriptors for scoring or rating students' performance on such tasks as writing, speaking, science experiments, peer reviews of projects and products, and teaching and training.
  • What differs from traditional tests and exams is that the learners know the criteria before they perform the task. The criteria are embedded in the instruction.

Value/Merits of the Scoring Guide:

  • establishes clear criteria/goals/targets/outcomes
  • provides feedback re. strengths and weaknesses
  • maintains consistently the same language/vocabulary
  • integrates assessment and instruction
  • helps in instructors being consistent in evaluation of learners
  • assists self-directed learning
