CONTRERAS NINO, Luis Ángel; GONZALEZ MONTESINOS, Manuel  and  URIAS LUZANILLA, Erick. Writing evaluation rubric in the elementary education in Mexico. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.3, pp. 518-531. ISSN 0034-9690.

Results of an evaluation study to characterize using a rubric the writings produced by 3,151 Mexican children when they left primary education in the Baja California/MX state are presented. It is described the rubric used and the procedures to train 31 judges, specialists in language, in the use of the rubric, as well as the procedures to estimate the reliability of their judges about the writings. We also describe the achievement level in each trait of the writings evaluated using the rubric. We also present some evidences related with the validity of the exam in which was included the performance item that captured the writing samples. Finally, qualitative and quantitative studies are suggested to expand and deepen the discoveries found in this large scale evaluation.

Keywords : Writing evaluation; Rubric; Basic education.
