Abstract:
The main purpose of the study is to produce a proposed model rubric to be used in rating written outputs of students in the graduate school level, aligned with the Communicative Competence Model of Littlewood (2011). The study was conducted using quantitative-developmental approach with the select 10 experts who are handling either Filipino or English language classes either in the master's or doctorate program. An initial version of rubric was crafted and underwent validation process, revisions were made throughout the process until the final version was developed. Appropriate statistical tools were utilized, such as Aiken's V (content validity coefficient) for the validity, and the Fleiss' ? coefficient and Krippendorff's a coefficient for the reliability index. An average content validity coefficient of 0.91 was recorded, affirming the validity of the crafted rubric. A Krippendorff's a coefficient of 0.87 was recorded, which is higher than 0.67 and a p-value less than 0.05, proving the rubric's inter-reliability, moreover the 0.8 'a coefficient' reflects a high level of inter-reliability of the raters in marking written outputs using the proposed rubric. With the assistance of the select experts, the study was able to produce a valid and reliable rubric as an assessment tool in rating the performance of students in the graduate school level in terms of their written outputs. The study suggests that appropriate tests of validity and reliability shall always be employed to come up with an effective assessment tool that can truly serve its purpose for the professors and students alike.
