Assessment Rubrics as Effective Feedback: Prospective Teachers' Perceptions and Practices

Abstract

    This paper examines the receptiveness among prospective teachers for rubrics as effective feedback for learning and assessment. It also investigates the dispositions among prospective teachers toward the practice of rubrics in their future classrooms. It uses a qualitative research approach and collects data from 15 participants who were selected through a purposive sampling method from four universities. The data is analyzed using NVivo 12 Pro, and themes are derived and calculated based on the frequency of responses. The paper finds that using rubrics for grading has various benefits for both prospective teachers and their learners, such as improvement in grades, motivation, awareness, feedback, support, skillfulness, quality, time management, critical thinking, etc. The paper also finds that there are some challenges and gaps in the implementation and practice of rubrics in the Pakistani education system.
