A Rubric Study for the Evaluation of Caricature Creation Building Skills of 6th Grade Students

This study aimed to develop "Caricature Creation Rubric" which can be used to evaluate the products produced by 6th grade students at the end of their caricature creation process and to make its validity and reliability studies. The criteria in the graded key were determined by using the "Caricature Literacy Module" prepared by the researcher. Following the performance definitions, a pilot application was conducted to another group apart from the study group in order to increase the validity of the graded scoring key. The pilot study was carried out with six girls and one boy, who were capable of creating caricatures and were in the same class level as the study group. The necessary corrections were made in line with the feedback received from the pilot application and the validity and reliability studies of the graded scoring key were started. The data obtained for the reliability of the rubric which was specially developed by the researcher was used to evaluate the skill of creating caricatures. For the reliability the consistency between the scores given by two different evaluators was examined. For this purpose, the Pearson Momentum Multiplication Correlation Coefficient formula was used for the consistency between the total scores obtained from the graded scoring key according to different evaluators and the consistency between the scores for each sub-group. As a result, it was seen that the rubric which was developed to evaluate caricature creation skills can be used to measure and evaluate the caricature creation works of 6th grade students.
