Abstract

The study was aimed at investigating the effect of using analytic and holistic rubrics on critical thinking scores (CTS) of master level students. Pre-test post-test nonequivalent control group design was used for this study. Three intact groups of students consisted of 27, 20 and 30 students were selected for this study. Both Experimental groups were given 16 weeks intervention with four assignments along with rubrics. Rubrics were developed by the researcher and validated by relevant experts. The CT test of AssessmentDay (2018) was adapted. CTS of control and experimental groups were compared using ANOVA. CTS of post-test and pre-test were compared using paired sample t-test. Significant difference p=.001 was found in CTS of all three groups, the group which was administered analytical rubrics got the highest mean score, which indicates analytic rubrics are more effective to increase CTS. Therefore, analytic rubrics are recommended to be given with research related assignments.
