摘要：
College mission statements describe their belief that a meaningful college experience includes curricular and co-curricular activities that challenge students to develop socially-responsible attitudes and actions toward others. This charge highlights the dynamic role of the university in society and the need for valid measures to evaluate mission effectiveness and inform programmatic decision-making. In response to this need, research regarding the use of rubrics for rating performance-based assignments (PBAs) such as college essays is growing (McConnell et al., 2019). This study explored the construct validity and reliability of a performance-based rubric, the Intercultural Knowledge and Competence VALUE Rubric (Rhodes, 2010), the items of which are posited to measure elements of Social Responsibility (SR). Using data from PBAs embedded within general-education courses and scored by multi-disciplinary faculty, we evaluated aspects of construct validity and reliability of the rubric. Overall, our results provide evidence that this rubric has favorable statistical properties that lend support to its usage.
