Goal, Criterion and Grading: Examination of Rubrics Created by Prospective Mathematics Teachers

Abstract

Evaluation and assessment is a basic content knowledge area for teachers and prospective teachers, as well as one of the basic competences in effective teaching. In this context, it is aimed to investigate the rubrics created by prospective elementary school mathematics teachers to assess and grade the solution of a math problem. As a matter of fact, one of the convenient methods to reveal what the prospective teachers expect from the student and the assessment criteria is to investigate the rubrics created by them. This case study, which has a qualitative pattern, 24 prospective elementary school mathematics teachers who took the Evaluation and Assessment course attended. The criterion considered in determining the participants determined by criterion sampling, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, is that the prospective teachers especially took the Evaluation and Assessment course. The data collected through e-mail internet interview were analyzed by content analysis method. By presenting a problem with the rational numbers to the prospective teachers, their determining the instructional purpose of the given mathematics problem, the criteria they set for assessment and their grading practices were examined. As the main findings of the research, it was determined that in assessing the solution of a given math problem, prospective elementary school mathematics teachers did not consider the curriculum, students' age levels, students' possible mathematical knowledge and differences and they made assessment operational knowledge-weighted. In this context, it can be said that the rubrics prepared by prospective mathematics teachers are insufficient in evaluating student learning mathematically and pedagogically, in supporting mathematics learning and guiding students at this point.
