Learner Text Criterion Score

Learner Text Criterion Score

Introduction

A Learner Text Criterion Score records how a single Rubric Criterion is applied to a single learner’s Text Attempt. This allows highly granular scoring—for example, awarding separate points for “Clarity,” “Evidence,” or “Grammar” in an essay.

Key highlights:

  • Fine-Grained Evaluation: Each rubric criterion is scored independently, improving consistency and transparency.
  • Status Tracking: Just like the overall attempt, each criterion goes through statuses (Pending, Scoring, etc.).
  • Detailed Feedback: Provide rationale or instructions per criterion, letting the learner see precisely which part needs work.

Properties

Property Name Description
LearnerTextAttemptId Identifies which essay submission (Text Attempt) is being evaluated. This helps group all criterion scores under one master attempt.
LearningRubricCriterionId Points to the specific criterion from the rubric, e.g., “Organization of Argument” or “Research Depth.”
Status Tracks the cycle (Pending, Submitted, Scoring, Scored, Expired). Usually, this mirrors the attempt’s broader status but focuses on the specific criterion.
PendingDate When evaluation of this criterion was created or flagged for scoring.
SubmittedDate When it officially entered the scoring queue.
ScoringDate When scoring kicked off—manually or by AI—for this particular criterion.
ScoredDate When grading for this criterion wrapped up, storing the final sub-score.
ExpiredDate If the attempt timed out or exceeded submission windows, the system can mark the criterion scoring as expired.
Score The numeric point value awarded for this specific criterion, based on the rubric. E.g., 3 out of 5 for “Organization.”
ScoreReason A textual explanation detailing why the scorer (or AI) assigned this score.
ScoreInstruction General feedback relevant to this criterion. For instance, “Improve transitions between paragraphs.”
ScorePersonalInstruction Personalized advice for the learner on how to do better in this specific area.
ScoreInstructionPlus1 Additional or follow-up pointers for advanced improvement (e.g., referencing sources, using better structure).
ScorePersonalInstructionPlus1 Extra personalized coaching or motivation tailored to that learner, e.g., “Use real-world data from your current workplace.”
CreatedDate System-captured date/time of when this criterion score record was created.
ModifiedDate Automatically updated if the score or feedback is changed.

Example

For a Text Attempt on “Sustainability Strategies,” the system checks the “Evidence and Support” criterion. The AI or instructor assigns a Score of 4 out of 5, with ScoreReason stating, “Good references but minor inconsistencies in citation style.” The ScorePersonalInstruction might advise more formal referencing.

Use Case

A college-level writing assignment uses a “Research Paper Rubric” with five criteria. Each is separately scored. The instructor sees that a particular student excelled in “Analysis of Data” but lost points in “Clarity of Thesis.” The system tracks these criterion-level scores, enabling targeted feedback that fosters continuous improvement.
