Today, we're diving into the Markscheme Rubric which helps us evaluate our assessments based on IB criteria. Each criterion has specific descriptors. Can anyone tell me what Criterion A focuses on?
Isn't it about knowing and understanding the material?
Exactly! Criterion A focuses on how well you know and understand the subject. The levels describe how comprehensive and accurate your explanations should be. For instance, what do you think would earn a 7-8 score?
Maybe comprehensive and accurate explanations with examples, right?
That's correct! Remember the acronym CADEβComprehensive, Accurate, Detailed, Examples. Let's move on to Criterion B. What does it involve?
Is it about planning how we approach our tasks?
Right! It assesses your ability to create detailed and realistic plans. Whatβs the key element to ensure you score highly?
You have to justify your methods and include risk assessments!
Well done! Remember to follow the rubric when preparing your tasks.

Letβs discuss Criterion C, which revolves around applying and performing. What do you think it means to demonstrate a skill fluently?
It means you have to perform the skills correctly and consistently, right?
Exactly! A 7-8 level performance requires exceptional technique. Can anyone think of a skill we might assess?
Maybe a gymnastics routine or a soccer penalty kick?
Great examples! Now, letβs think about the importance of performance recording. Why do you think itβs vital to document our skills?
So we can see our progress and identify areas to improve?
Exactly! Documenting helps in self-evaluation. Remember, insightful self-assessment exemplifies high achievement!

Quick Overview
Standard
The Markscheme Rubric specifies performance descriptors corresponding to each level of achievement across IB assessment criteria A to D. It provides guidance on how students can demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and reflection through clearly defined levels of understanding and performance.
Detailed
Overview of the Markscheme Rubric
The Markscheme Rubric is an essential tool within the assessment framework in Physical & Health Education, aligned with the International Baccalaureate (IB) criteria A (Knowing and Understanding), B (Planning), C (Applying and Performing), and D (Reflecting and Evaluating). Each criterion has a distinctly defined level descriptor, helping educators and students understand expectations and assess performance consistently.
1. Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding
- Levels 7-8: Comprehensive, accurate explanations with detailed examples.
- Levels 5-6: Clear understanding; minor omissions or inaccuracies.
- Levels 3-4: Basic definitions; limited examples; several inaccuracies.
- Levels 1-2: Minimal knowledge; inaccurate or incomplete.
2. Criterion B: Planning
- Levels 7-8: Detailed and realistic plans with clear justification and thorough risk management.
- Levels 5-6: Good plans with some justification and minor gaps.
- Levels 3-4: Basic plans; vague goals.
- Levels 1-2: Inadequate planning; missing essential components.
3. Criterion C: Applying and Performing
- Levels 7-8: Exceptionally fluent performance demonstrating technique.
- Levels 5-6: Good performance but with minor flaws.
- Levels 3-4: Satisfactory but inconsistent performance.
- Levels 1-2: Poor technique with insufficient effort.
4. Criterion D: Reflecting and Evaluating
- Levels 7-8: Insightful reflective essays with clear action plans.
- Levels 5-6: Thoughtful reflections with some evidence.
- Levels 3-4: Basic reflections with vague action plans.
- Levels 1-2: Limited reflection with no clear plans.
The rubric serves not only as an evaluative measure but also as a guide for students in their learning journey, encouraging them to reflect deeply on their educational experience.

Chapter Content
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 presents four different levels of performance as part of a mark scheme rubric used to evaluate reflective essays. Each level is defined by a score range (1-8) and a descriptor that categorizes the quality of the work. The highest level (7-8) indicates comprehensive and accurate understanding along with detailed examples. The further down the levels you go, the more basic and inaccurate the reflections become until reaching the lowest level (1-2), which denotes minimal understanding and significant inaccuracies.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like a video game scoring system. Just as players receive points based on their performanceβlike completing tasks perfectly or making minor mistakesβstudents receive scores from 1 to 8 based on how well they demonstrate their reflective understanding. Just like a player understands the game better at higher levels, a student at the 7-8 level shows a deeper comprehension of their learning.
High-Scoring Reflections (Levels 7-8)
Chapter 2 of 5

Chapter Content
7β8 Insightful reflection; concrete evidence; clear action plan; understanding of learning.
Detailed Explanation
To achieve a score in the 7-8 range, students must provide insightful reflections that not only show their understanding but also include concrete evidence from their experiences. This means they should back up their thoughts with specific examples and have a well-defined action plan for future improvement. This level emphasizes a studentβs ability to critically analyze their learning process and articulate clear next steps.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine preparing for a sports competition. A high-performing athlete assesses their past performances, identifies what worked, and develops a targeted plan to address weaknesses, like doing extra practice in specific areas. Similarly, a student earning 7-8 in the reflection task is like that athlete; they reflect deeply and form a clear strategy for future growth.
Moderate Scoring Reflections (Levels 5-6)
Chapter 3 of 5

Chapter Content
5β6 Thoughtful reflection; some evidence; general action points.
Detailed Explanation
In this range, students are expected to provide thoughtful reflections, meaning they are engaging with their learning, but not as deeply as the highest level. They include some evidence from their experiences but may not be as specific, and their action points could be generalized without clear steps. This level marks a solid understanding but indicates that there is room for deeper insight and specificity.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a book review. A reader gives a thoughtful review, highlighting themes and characters without going into detailed examples from the text. The review is insightful, but not as robust as one that quotes specific passages and discusses their impact. The student scoring a 5-6 would be somewhat like that reader; their reflections are solid but could use more depth and specificity.
Basic Reflections (Levels 3-4)
Chapter 4 of 5

Chapter Content
3β4 Basic reflection; few examples; vague action plans.
Detailed Explanation
Here, students demonstrate basic reflection skills. They may offer definitions or surface-level insights without detailed examples to support their thoughts. Their action plans, if present, are often vague and lack specificity. This indicates a limited engagement with their learning process, showcasing that while they understand some concepts, they have not explored them thoroughly.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a person who watches a movie and gives a quick comment like, 'It was good,' without explaining what they liked about it or how they would improve upon it if given the chance. This kind of reflection parallels the work of students scoring in the 3-4 range; they acknowledge their learning but do not delve deeper into its implications or their personal development.
Limited Reflections (Levels 1-2)
Chapter 5 of 5

Chapter Content
1β2 Limited or no reflection; no clear plan.
Detailed Explanation
At this level, students show minimal reflection on their learning with inaccuracies in their content. They often fail to articulate a clear understanding or provide any substantial evidence. Furthermore, they lack a defined action plan for future growth, indicating a disconnect from the learning objectives. This signifies either a lack of effort or a misunderstanding of the reflective process.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a student who turns in a blank assignment or just writes a few sentences that donβt make much sense. It's like trying to answer a quiz with random guesses that don't connect to the questions asked. Scoring a 1-2 indicates the student has not engaged adequately with the assignment, just like that student didn't understand the material well enough to respond appropriately.
