Welcome, everyone! Today, weβll delve into the Markscheme Rubric. This rubric is essential for understanding how your assessments will be evaluated. Can anyone tell me what a rubric is?
Isnβt it a tool that teachers use to grade our work?
Exactly! It's a grading tool. The Markscheme Rubric provides specific criteria for different assessments. Let's focus on Criterion A first. What do you think 'Knowing and Understanding' involves?
It sounds like we need to show what we know about a topic?
That's right! You should provide comprehensive, accurate explanations. For the highest marks, you need examples too. Letβs remember - 'Clarity and Detail' is our mantra for criterion A. Can anyone recall how many marks are available?
I believe there are 8 marks total?
Correct! 7 to 8 marks means you're giving comprehensive responses. Letβs summarize: clarity, detail, and examples help you score high. Understanding Criterion A sets a strong foundation.

Now, let's break down the performance levels youβll encounter. Criterion A has levels ranging from 7-8 to 1-2 marks. Who would like to explain what would fall into the 5-6 mark range?
I think it means you understand well, but maybe you have small mistakes?
Exactly! It indicates a clear understanding but notes minor inaccuracies. To help internalize this, we can use the acronym 'U M E' for Understanding, Minor errors, and Examples. What would be an example of a good practice to achieve 7-8 marks?
Providing multiple examples and clear explanations?
Yes! Remember: details matter. Letβs summarize: for the best marks, ensure clarity, avoid minor mistakes, and always validate your facts.

Markscheme Rubric
This section includes the Markscheme Rubric used to assess summative assessment tasks with respect to International Baccalaureate (IB) criteria A-D. The rubric establishes a clear grading system, providing a framework for evaluating student submissions based on their level of understanding and execution across various tasks. Each criterion (A-D) is further broken down into levels of performance, which helps provide transparency in assessment and encourages students to strive for clarity and comprehensiveness in their work. The levels are categorized as follows:
Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding
- 7-8 Marks: Comprehensive, accurate explanations with detailed examples.
- 5-6 Marks: Clear understanding, but with minor omissions or inaccuracies.
- 3-4 Marks: Basic definitions with limited examples and several inaccuracies.
- 1-2 Marks: Minimal knowledge with inaccurate or incomplete responses.
Each task associated with Criterion A includes a template that outlines the required structure, helping students organize their submissions effectively.

Level Descriptor Marks
7β8 Comprehensive, accurate explanations with detailed examples.
5β6 Clear understanding; minor omissions or inaccuracies.
3β4 Basic definitions; limited examples; several inaccuracies.
1β2 Minimal knowledge; inaccurate or incomplete.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk outlines the levels of performance that students can achieve on tasks related to Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding. Each level has a specified range of marks (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8) based on the quality of explanations and examples provided in the students' work. The highest level (7-8) denotes comprehensive understanding with detailed examples, while the lowest level (1-2) indicates minimal knowledge with inaccuracies.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this rubric like a grading scale for a driving test. If you get 7-8 points, it's like passing with flying colors β you've demonstrated excellent control and understanding of the vehicle. On the other hand, scoring 1-2 would be like barely managing to drive; you might have missed traffic signs or demonstrated unsafe habits.
High Performance Level (7-8 Marks)

7β8 Comprehensive, accurate explanations with detailed examples.
Detailed Explanation
Achieving a score of 7-8 signifies that a student has provided detailed explanations that accurately convey understanding of concepts, along with supporting examples that illustrate these ideas clearly. This level reflects a high level of mastery and comprehension of the subject material and shows the student's ability to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine explaining how to bake a cake to a friend. If you provide a step-by-step guide, including tips on how to avoid common mistakes and explaining why certain ingredients are necessary, that's like achieving a 7-8. It shows you are not just repeating information but also understanding and elaborating on it.
Moderate Performance Level (5-6 Marks)

5β6 Clear understanding; minor omissions or inaccuracies.
Detailed Explanation
A score of 5-6 reflects a good understanding of the material, but signifies that there might be minor omissions, gaps, or inaccuracies in the explanations. This indicates that the student grasps the main concepts but may not have fully fleshed out their understanding with enough detail or precision.
Examples & Analogies
It's like getting a decent score on a test where you understood the majority of the material but forgot a couple of key details. For instance, you might know the recipe for cookies but miss out on the correct temperature for the oven, which would affect the baking outcome.
Basic Performance Level (3-4 Marks)

3β4 Basic definitions; limited examples; several inaccuracies.
Detailed Explanation
Scoring between 3-4 indicates that the work reflects basic definitions and understanding of concepts, yet lacks depth and includes several inaccuracies. This level shows that the student may have a surface-level comprehension but needs to improve their grasp of the material and provide more supporting examples.
Examples & Analogies
Think of someone explaining how to ride a bicycle. If they only mention 'you need to pedal', without discussing balancing and steering, they are providing a basic definition but are likely to miss out on important aspects that affect riding successfully, similar to scoring in this range.
Low Performance Level (1-2 Marks)

1β2 Minimal knowledge; inaccurate or incomplete.
Detailed Explanation
A score of 1-2 suggests that the response demonstrates minimal knowledge of the subject matter and is either inaccurate or lacking critical information. This performance level indicates significant gaps in understanding and a failure to meet the expectations set by the assessment criteria.
Examples & Analogies
If a student were to interview for a job and could only mention the job title without understanding what the job entails or the skills needed, they would fall into this low-performance category, similar to providing incomplete or incorrect answers in academic work.
