Abstract

This study examines the application of scoring rubrics as an evaluative instrument in higher education environments. Specifically, it explores the advantages, validity, and reliability associated with their use. Scoring rubrics provide a systematic and unbiased methodology for assessing various academic assignments, assisting educators in delivering constructive feedback and promoting student development. The study delves into the benefits associated with the utilization of rubrics, which encompass improved levels of transparency, uniformity, and fairness in the grading process. Furthermore, it investigates the validity and reliability of rubrics, ensuring the precision and consistency of evaluation outcomes. Moreover, this study explores the utilization of holistic and analytic rubrics within Malaysian universities, providing an analysis of their individual applications and advantages in the evaluation procedure. In the pursuit of improving assessment methods, institutions are increasingly recognizing the significance of including scoring rubrics as a valuable instrument to facilitate high-quality education and foster student achievement.

Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an effective educational approach that promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. The study aimed to review an implementation of PBL in engineering course in Malaysia. PBL has been shown to be effective in engaging students in the learning process by presenting them with complex, open-ended problems that require critical thinking and creativity to solve. Through this process, students develop their critical thinking skills, including their ability to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and make sound judgments. PBL also helps students to develop their problem-solving skills, which are essential in the real world. Despite its benefits, implementing PBL in the classroom can also have some challenges and limitations. It can be time-consuming, difficult to assess, challenging to implement in large classes, and may not be suitable for all students. Thus, careful planning and preparation are required before implementing PBL in a university setting. In an engineering course, PBL provides students with opportunities to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as to enhance their collaboration and communication abilities. It also allows students to see the relevance of the knowledge and skills they are learning and to take ownership of their learning. Therefore, implementing PBL in a university requires identifying appropriate learning objectives and designing a problem or scenario that aligns with those objectives. The problem or scenario should be complex and open-ended, requiring students to draw on knowledge and skills from multiple subject areas. The implementation of PBL should also involve ongoing evaluation and refinement to ensure its effectiveness.
