- Abstract
The article presents information on the use of instructional rubrics in physical education. Over a decade it has become popular to use rubrics in education to assess learning outcomes. Rubrics is an important tool for the assessment of student performance, teacher effectiveness, and quality of the programs. Rubrics have been successfully used by teachers in different subject disciplines to achieve educational goals. A one or two-page document that describes varying levels of quality, from excellent to poor, for a specific assignment, can be defined as an instructional rubric. Physical educators can have an access to valuable information about student performance by developing and using instructional rubrics. This access can not be obtained from traditional assessment approaches. By the use of rubrics, there is more accuracy and usefulness in the performance feedback provided to children. The development of instructional rubrics requires several steps. Identification of essential and critical elements of the performance or task is the first step in developing a rubric. The second step is the articulation of criteria and levels of quality. The application of the rubric while teaching is the third step. The revisions of the rubric is the fourth step.
