Abstract

The act of writing texts is a common practice in the classroom and teachers suffer difficulties to assess writing ability due to poor teacher training and to the lack of tools to assess this skill. Therefore, we plan to explore if the rubric could be a good tool for assess Primary Education students’ narrations. A total of 128 stories written by Primary Education students were analyzed using: a standardized test (PROESC: assessment of writing processes), a rubric and, also, the texts were graded by 4 teachers (unaware of the research). Also was taken into account the qualifications in Spanish language obtained by students that wrote the texts. The results show that the relationship between the criteria that evaluate similar elements of PROESC and rubric is significant in all cases. This trend of results has also been located between the two tools, the grade of teachers and the grade in Spanish Language; aspect that is positive to the validity of the rubric explored.
