Description¶
A rubric developed by Darling-Aduana for measuring higher-order-thinking opportunities and real-world relevance in online instructional work.
Components¶
- Authentic online work framework with two primary components: higher-order thinking and real-world relevance: The article synthesizes complementary academic definitions of authentic work into a framework with two primary components. As the abstract states, it developed "the Authentic Online Work Rubric that measures two primary components of authentic online work – opportunities for higher-order thinking and real-world relevance." The framework draws on prior authentic pedagogy literature and is operationalized as lesson-level rubric subscales. (Darling-Aduana (2021))
- Use a validated authenticity rubric to support researcher, developer, and school-based continuous improvement of online tasks: The article recommends deploying the validated Authentic Online Work Rubric as a measurement tool within improvement processes. It states the rubric "is targeted for use in the evaluation of learning tasks and assessments in online instructional settings to support researcher, developer, and school-based continuous improvement processes." This positions lesson-level authenticity measurement as actionable feedback for multiple stakeholders. (Darling-Aduana (2021))
Claims¶
