Purposefulness
Does the Student’s framing of the problem invite an integrative approach?
10 %
|
This video/podcast does not contain an identifiable purpose or the purpose is unclear
|
The video/podcast contains a discernible purpose but it is not clear that this purpose calls for an integrative approach
Or
The student does identify a problem that calls for an integrative approach but the purpose of the video/podcast is not clearly stated or the purpose is unviable.
|
The student clearly states a purpose that calls for an integrative approach. However, the student offers no clear rationale or justification for taking this approach.
Or
The purpose of the video/podcast appears somewhat ambitious.
|
The student clearly creates a purpose that calls for an integrative approach and provides a clear rationale or justification for taking this approach..
|
|
Purposefulness
Does the student use the writing genre effectively to communicate with his or her intended audience?
10 %
|
There is little sense of an academic genre being used and the intended audience is unclear.
|
An academic genre is discernible but multiple violations of the genre (e.g., organization, tone, referencing, vocabulary) limit the student’s ability to communicate with the intended audience.
Or
The video/podcast is not fluid. It requires multiple viewings.
|
An academic genre is clear and generally adhered to. The student is obviously aware of the intended audience, which often represents more than one discipline.
The video/podcast views fluidly.
No innovation within the genre is visible or if there is any attempt at innovation it is not effective.
|
An academic genre is clear and consistently adhered to. The student is obviously aware of the intended audience, which often represents more than one discipline. Any innovation within the genre is effective and deliberate.
|
|
Disciplinary Grounding
Does the student use disciplinary knowledge accurately and effectively (e.g., concepts, theories, perspectives, findings, examples)?
10 %
|
A disciplinary knowledge base is not discernible in the sense that the ideas and information included do not stem from any particular disciplinary tradition.
Misconceptions and folk beliefs abound. In some cases, jargon is used with little evidence of understanding.
And/or the student misuses sources in a major way—e.g., non-credible sources, misunderstanding the meaning of source(s), relying too heavily on one source
|
The student uses disciplinary concepts, theories, perspectives, findings, or examples in simplistic, general, or mechanized ways—as in the “textbook” version of a discipline. Key claims are sometimes not supported, or concrete disciplinary examples are disconnected from key claims.
Some misconceptions and unwarranted use of jargon may be present.
|
Concepts and theories are used effectively in accordance to their disciplinary origins, in ways adopted by disciplinary experts. Theories and generalizations are consistently supported with examples or findings from the disciplines involved.
Conversely, concrete cases and examples are interpreted with disciplinary concepts and theories.
Relevant and credible sources are used intelligently to advance the argument of the piece, though the video/podcast may have too many unnecessary sources, or key sources may be missing.
|
In addition to the qualities outlined at Level 3, a well organized network of concepts, theories, perspectives, findings, and examples within one or more of the selected disciplines is clearly visible.
Some insightful new examples, interpretations, or responses with the selected disciplines may be present.
There is sophisticated use of sources. The sources used are relevant and credible and integrated thoughtfully and purposefully to advance the student’s argument.
|
|
Disciplinary Grounding
Does the student use disciplinary methods accurately and effectively (e.g., experimental design, philosophical argumentation, textual analysis)?
10 %
|
The student shows little to no awareness of the methods, habits of mind, and validation criteria by which knowledge is constructed and verified in the disciplines.
Opinions and information summaries are presented as matters of fact.
|
The student shows awareness of or uses disciplinary methods and modes of thinking in one or more of the included disciplines, but employs them mechanically, superficially, or algorithmically.
There may be oversimplifications and misconceptions about methods (e.g., if someone assumes statistical results are true).
|
The student accurately employs methods, modes of thinking (e.g., ways to select evidence or construct causal accounts), and validation criteria to construct knowledge in one or more of the selected disciplines.
|
The student accurately employs methods, habits of mind, and validation criteria to construct knowledge in one or more of the selected disciplines.
He or she does so effectively, exhibiting language that describes the constructed nature of disciplinary knowledge (e.g., the provisional nature of insights, the limits of generalizations, the multiplicity of interpretations).
|
|
Integration
3.1. Does the student include
selected disciplinary perspectives or insights from two or more disciplinary traditions (presented in the course or from elsewhere) that are relevant to the purpose
of the video/podcast?
10 %
|
The video/podcast shows no evidence
that disciplinary perspectives are used to address the video/podcast’s purpose.
Multiple perspectives or points of view may be considered but these do not represent disciplinary views and/or are not clearly related to the video/podcast’s purpose.
|
The video/podcast includes two or more relevant disciplinary perspectives or fields but the connections between the included
disciplinary insights and the purpose of the work are superficial or unclear.
Crucial disciplinary perspectives may be missing.
|
The video/podcast includes two or more relevant disciplines or fields. Selected disciplinary insights are clearly connected to the purpose of the work.
Disciplinary perspectives that are tangential to the purpose may be present, or relevant perspectives missed.
|
The video/podcast includes two or more relevant disciplines or fields. Selected disciplinary insights are clearly connected to the purpose of the work.
No unrelated disciplinary insights appear and no crucial perspectives are missing.
If the video/podcast includes some tangential perspectives which are, however, original it should be considered meeting this criterion.
|
|
Integration
3.2. Is there an integrative device or strategy (e.g., a model, metaphor, analogy)?
10 %
|
The student may explore the topic in a holistic way but connections are unclear and there is no obvious sense of
integration.
|
The student may explore the topic in a holistic way, making valid connections across disciplinary or field perspectives; however, insights from different perspectives are not integrated coherently or effectively.
In some cases, disciplinary concepts, theories, perspectives, findings, or examples are placed side by side; connections and analogies are made but no overall
|
An integrative device (e.g., a leading metaphor, a complex causal explanation) clearly brings disciplinary insights together in a generally coherent and effective way.
|
A novel, imaginative, or well- articulated integrative device (e.g., a leading metaphor, a complex causal explanation) is used to bring disciplinary insights together in a coherent and effective way.
|
|
Integration
3.3 Is there a sense of balance in the overall composition of the piece with regard to how the student brings disciplinary perspectives or insights together to advance the purpose of the piece?
10 %
|
The video/podcast shows an imbalance in the way particular disciplinary perspectives are presented in light of the purpose of the work (e.g., particular disciplinary perspectives are given disproportionate weight for no obvious reason).
|
The student attempts to balance perspectives but builds this on artificial or algorithmic grounds rather than substantive ones (e.g., giving equal weight to each disciplinary perspective studied irrespective of its substantive relevance to the problem at hand).
|
Disciplinary insights in the video/podcast are generally balanced on substantive grounds in light of the purpose of the work. However, one or more aspects of the argument may be weakly addressed.
|
Disciplinary insights are delicately balanced to maximize the effectiveness of the video/podcast in light of the purpose of the work.
|
|
Integration
Do the conclusions drawn by the student indicate that understanding has been advanced by the integration of disciplinary views?
10 %
|
The student attempts to make connections across different perspectives but these are unrelated to the apparent purpose of the video/podcast.
|
Minor efforts at integration are present. Or a language of integration is present but is used mechanistically to yield minimal advancement toward the intended purpose.
|
The student makes a valid integration of disciplinary insights to generate understandings linked to the purpose of the video/podcast. However, some obvious opportunities to advance the purpose of the video/podcast are overlooked or undeveloped.
|
The student takes full advantage of the opportunities presented by the integration of disciplinary insights to advance his or her intended purpose both effectively and efficiently. The integration may result in novel or unexpected insights.
|
|
Critical Awareness
4.1. Does the student show awareness of the limitations and benefits of the contributing disciplines or how the disciplines intertwine?
10 %
|
There is no awareness of the differing contributing disciplines or fields or their benefits or limitations (e.g., the topic is only approached from a
commonsense or very general standpoint).
|
There is awareness of which disciplines are being used but there is no or only brief discussion of the limitations and/or benefits of the disciplinary contributions. There may be some misconceptions about how the disciplines are being used.
|
The benefits and/or limitations of the differing contributing disciplines or fields are sufficiently and clearly
discussed. Some of the points made may be general or obvious.
|
The benefits and or limitations of the differing contributing disciplines or fields are discussed clearly, insightfully, and in relationship to one another (e.g., students not only describe individual contributions but highlight how views complement, balance, add empirical grounding or put into question insights from other disciplines included in the work.
