The Summary of Curriculum Evaluation
: While organizing the evaluation of curriculum rubric, I couldn't help thinking about the textbook that I was teaching with. Wondering if the textbook would best fit for the rubric, I did evaluate its curriculum. After that, I also used the Yellow rubric for evaluating the same textbook. The important thing that I realized, evaluating with two different rubrics, is the subdivisions of rating scale. The more subdivided the rating sclae is, the more accurate the evaluation is. If I had made the rating scale subdivided more like Yellow rubric, my rubric could have been better, for which I feel so sorry.
The Similarities Between Two Rubrics
: My rubric and Yellow rubic has focused that...
- The goal and objectives of content has to be appropriate and stated clearly.
- The material has to be well-organized and easy to follow.
- The activities of lessons has to engage students in the four skills.
The Differences Between Two Rubrics
: My rubric is somewhat different from Yellow ruburic in that...
- My rubric consists of five criteria; framework, content, instructional, dissemination, and assessment characteristics, while Yellow rubric is made up of five categories like instructional content, material design, instructional resources, assessment and summary of curriculum evaluation.
- Yellow rubric has the sections for the comments and the recommendation, but mine doesn't.
The Necessary Information
- Leaners' age: 15 (10th grader)
- English proficiency level: Advanced
- Course content/skills target: Four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing)
- Environment: English classroom equipped with computers, cassette/CD players, and a variety of softwares
The Recommendation of the Material
: I recommend this textbook for all levels of English proficiency since it is organized for the beginner, intermediate and advanced. This includes three divided sections for the three levels. If the instructor add and remove some materials, it can be fit to every level of English class.
Wow, you did a great job! :)(I found a spelling mistake though. The 3rd line from the top says "evaluatng". The letter "i" is missing.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the title of your textbook? I would like to take a look. I might use the textbook for having my students get ready for high school level. If your textbook provides various levels, that textbook would be the best for me to use as a teaching material. Could you let me know the title of the textbook?
Hi, Jaeun~!
ReplyDeleteActually I was on the revising process. Anyway thank you for your correction!:)
For you, I just uploaded the cover of my textbook. As you know, it is literally an English textbook for 10th graders in high school. These days almost all kinds of English school textbooks have consisted of three levels at least for the ability grouping. Please let me know if you want some more information! I'd be willing to help you.
"I realized, evaluating with two different rubrics, is the subdivisions of rating scale. The more subdivided the rating sclae is, the more accurate the evaluation is. If I had made the rating scale subdivided more like Yellow rubric, my rubric could have been better"
ReplyDeleteI also felt the same way you did while I was evaluating with my own rubric and yellow rubric.
The more subdivided the rating scale, the better evaluation we will have.
I love your book for writing. Someday I want to use those books for my children's writing practice.
ReplyDeleteMore specific subdivisions for evaluation could bring beeter works, but we must think target teaching level. Younger,or begining stage of the leaner could be discouraged by the rubrics or evauation results.
