Measuring the Quality of Academic Doctoral Learning through a Crowdsourced Dissertation Rubric
Heather D. Hussey; Tara Lehan; Kate McConnell
Learning Assistance Review, v29 n2 p92-132 2024
Rubrics (e.g., Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education (VALUE) rubrics) that measure specific skills exist, and researchers have demonstrated their benefits; however, most of them were designed for use with undergraduate students. Although some rubrics have been created to assess dissertations and oral defenses, few have been applied beyond the program and institution where they were developed. Consequently, we collaborated with 75+ faculty members and learning center professionals from multiple institutions to crowdsource a dissertation quality of learning assessment rubric for use across institutions and disciplines. Raters' scores and feedback supported the rubric's usability, reliability, clarity, utility, and relevance.
