- Abstract
In this study, persuasive text evaluation rubric was created. This rubric is designed as "task-specified" and "analytical" type and it has two-dimensions. Also, this rubric is both a scale and a guide for persuasive writing. Development process of the rubric is as following: creating criteria, the success level of the criteria and the definition of criteria standards, naming and grouping criteria, testing the usability of rubric with sample texts, sharing the rubric with scholars, making pilot study (worked with 1 Turkısh teacher and 23 middle school students), making Lawshe-analysis for content validity of rubric (worked with 40 teachers), applying Kendall-W test for reliability of the rubric (worked with 6 Turkish language education scholars). Also 2 educational sciences scholars' opinions have been taken. With the help of feedback from these multiple stages, the rubric was revised. After the revision, the rubric has become a scale consisting of 17 criteria comprised 5 groups (1. INTERNAL STRUCTURE: heading and introduction-body-conclusion paragraphs. 2.FICTION: thesis (goal), proarguments, counter-arguments, emotional routing, repetition, calling. 3.PERSUASIVENESS: citation, justification, elaboration. 4.EXPRESSION: connective words, necessity words. 5.EXTERNAL STRUCTURE: spelling, punctuation), 4 level of success (inadequate, developing, good, very good), 68 definition of criteria standards. For rubric, range coefficient is calculated as 0.75. Achievement level score ranges are as follows: 1-1,75=inadequate, 1,76-2,51=developing, 2,52- 3,27=good, 3,28-4,00=very good. At the end of this multi-stage process a valid, reliable and usable persuasive text evaluation rubric is created for the use of Turkish language teachers working in middle schools.
