A rubric for academic discussion can be divided into several categories, including:

  1. Content Knowledge: This category assesses the depth and accuracy of the participants’ understanding of the topic being discussed. It considers whether the participants demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and whether they provide evidence and examples to support their arguments.

  2. Critical Thinking: This category evaluates the participants’ ability to analyze and evaluate different perspectives and arguments. It assesses their ability to identify logical fallacies, biases, and assumptions in the discussion and to present counterarguments effectively.

  3. Communication Skills: This category assesses the participants’ ability to articulate their ideas clearly and effectively. It considers their use of appropriate vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure, as well as their ability to organize their thoughts coherently and present them in a logical manner.

  4. Active Listening: This category evaluates the participants’ ability to actively listen to others’ contributions and respond appropriately. It considers whether they demonstrate respect for others’ opinions, ask clarifying questions, and build upon or challenge others’ ideas in a constructive manner.

  5. Collaboration: This category assesses the participants’ ability to work together as a team and engage in a productive and respectful discussion. It considers whether they actively contribute to the conversation, share the speaking time, and encourage others to participate.

  6. Engagement: This category evaluates the participants’ level of engagement and participation in the discussion. It considers whether they actively contribute to the conversation, ask thoughtful questions, and provide meaningful insights.

  7. Overall Presentation: This category assesses the overall presentation of the discussion, including the participants’ use of visual aids, handouts, or other supporting materials. It considers whether the discussion is well-structured, organized, and effectively facilitated.

Each category can be further divided into specific criteria and levels of performance, such as exemplary, proficient, developing, and emerging, to provide a more detailed assessment of the participants’ performance in the academic discussion.
