Lea Kinikini; Anthony J. Nocella II

Opis

This book critiques the use of rubrics in assessment and evaluation within education and the effects of the rubric as a tool for social and intellectual control. This powerful theoretical intervention goes beyond the most dangerous academic repressive theory and standardization.

Recenzje

This anthology presents a much-needed critique of the increasing rhetoric of return on investment (ROI) in public higher education. Drawing on critical pedagogy, the authors shed light on the assessment industry and offer multiple strategies on how to exit the homogenizing game of "academic excellence" performance goals. Dr. Mechthild Nagel, Professor, Philosophy, State University of New York, College at Cortland
