Designing and evaluating a scale of mathematical problem-solving ability of grade 6 students on the content "Fracrational value of a number"

Abstract

Developing competencies, including mathematical problem-solving ones, is an inevitable trend in education. Assessing students' competencies accurately will be an important basis for proposing appropriate teaching methods as well as evaluating the effectiveness of those methods. This study designed a rubric for assessing written tests on mathematical problem-solving competencies. Through the assessment of 66 teachers and experiments on 132 students, the study proposed a good rubric for assessment, and also made recommendations for designing similar rubrics in the future.
