| With the rapid development of social informationization, the impacts of the information technology on education become greater and greater. The ICT-supported instruction becomes the main practice fields of the educators' in middle and primary schools. ICT-supported instruction underscores student-centered. In ICT-supported instruction, the teachers' role and the students' role have changed very greatly. The students become the active constructors of knowledge and the teachers become instructors or facilitators of the students. Under this background, traditional assessment can't be competent for the request of the modern ICT-supported instruction. This pushes us to look for new-style assessment tools which are suitable for ICT-supported instruction, advocate student-centered and pay close attention to learning process. Rubric is well accepted by teachers and students in middle and primary schools because of its practical operability, high accuracy and active feedback on students etc. But at the same time we find as a kind of new-style assessment method rubric's theoretical system of design and application still has some weak points and needs improving further. Aiming at this problem this thesis discusses the design and application of the rubric in ICT-supported instruction.This thesis consists of three chapters. In chapter 1, the author expounds the concept, classification and significance of the rubric in detail. In this chapter, the author also recommends the current research of this field at home and abroad and summarizes the questions existing in the design and application of the rubric. In chapter 2, the author points out some mistaken areas in the process of rubric design by analyzing a lot of "Intel Teach to the Future" instructional cases, and then the author puts forward the principles and steps in rubric design. In chapter 3, the author makes some correlative suggestions about the application of rubric by analyzing some "Intel Teach to the Future" instructional cases. Finally, the author summarizes the principles of the rubric's application in ICT-supported instruction. |
