SLO
- Students will analyze how gender is socially and culturally constructed and resisted within patriarchy and/or other sex/gender systems from an intersectional framework
SLO has been separated into two discrete elements for measurement of student achievement. Average the scores for each row of the rubric and use the average to sort students into the appropriate performance category. See example below.
| Learning Outcomes | Exceeds (10-9) | Meets (8.9-8) | Approaches (7.9-7) | Does Not Meet (6.9-0) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Construction - Analysis of the role of institutions and individual agency in shaping and contesting constructions of gender in the context of patriarchal and/or other sex/gender systems | Critically and accurately applies theoretical perspectives and uses examples of social/institutional practice to analyze the construction and negotiation of gender. Exhibits clear reasoning and well supported inferences. | Applies theoretical perspectives and uses examples of social/institutional practice to sufficiently analyze the construction and negotiation of gender. Exhibits occasional misunderstandings or makes vague claims; inferences are mostly supported but could be developed further. | Describes theoretical perspectives and social/institutional practice to discuss the construction and negotiation of gender. Exhibits basic comprehension of the topics but lacks a critical or analytical understanding; restates material rather than draws inferences; frequent generalizations or unsubstantiated assumptions. | No attempt or unable to grasp theoretical perspectives or social/institutional practice to explain the construction and negotiation of gender. Exhibits no analysis; points made are vague and unsubstantiated. |
| Intersectionality - Understands how social identities/categories intersect and overlap, resulting in unique combinations of discrimination and privilege. | Provides a developed and insightful explanation of intersections between social categories; effectively discusses the implications resulting from this intersectionality on gender identity or expression. | Provides a coherent explanation of intersections between social categories; describes implications resulting from this intersectionality on gender identity or expression but there may be gaps in knowledge or missing context. | Provides a limited explanation of the intersections between social categories; relies too heavily on broad generalizations or ineffectively describes the importance or implications of the intersectionality on gender identity or expression. | Identifies an intersection between social categories, but does not elaborate on the meaning or implications of this on gender identity or expression; explanations have fundamental inaccuracies. |
Benchmark: 100% of students meet or exceed standards
Give students a score for each row of the rubric, convert to a 100-point scale, and average the scores. Use the average to sort students into the appropriate performance category.
Example:
| Learning Outcome | Score |
|---|---|
| Construction | 8/10 = 80 |
| Intersectionality | 9/10 = 90 |
| Total | 170/200 |
| Average | 85 (Student meets) |
