The Student Research Learning Outcomes (SRLO) rubric utilizes concepts and frameworks of the AACU VALUE rubrics. Unlike the VALUE rubrics, the SRLO rubric is discipline-neutral, serving as an evaluation tool that indicates progressive benchmarks and implements research-focused pedagogies. The rubric is flexible. Instructors can readily amend it to add discipline-specific language and emphasis on research. It achieves the goal of identifying where students are in their research journeys to support their advancement.
A brief discussion of the process for creating, norming, and piloting the rubric will be followed by the audience engaged in using the SRLO rubric to score and evaluate some student work. A discussion will follow with participants sharing thoughts on how this type of rubric might be used at their institutions.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify their libraries' needs around research library instruction, and develop a strategy to meet students' learning needs
- Define and use an analytic research rubric that identifies students' formative research growth and gaps in the curriculum and instruction
- Identify potential active stakeholders who want to have a common language around developmental research pedagogy and to collaborate with the library to support its consistent integration into programs and their courses.
