In the context of modernization of educational assessment and evaluation, when using 'Rubrics', if a teacher emphasizes 'Assessment as Learning' instead of 'Summative Assessment', where students evaluate their own progress and modify their learning strategies, which of the following statements is most authentically true regarding the philosophical and practical nature of this holistic pedagogical process?

In the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system, there is a clear philosophical distinction between 'Assessment' and 'Evaluation'. Assessment is an ongoing process that gathers data to improve student learning (e.g., Assessment for Learning and Assessment as Learning), whereas evaluation is a broader value-judgment process encompassing both qualitative and quantitative aspects.

Key Role of Rubrics

• Clear Criteria: Rubrics provide explicit guidelines and performance standards.
• Self-Regulation: They empower learners to engage in self-assessment and peer assessment, thereby fostering metacognition and self-regulated learning.

Therefore, option C is the most accurate statement reflecting the practical and philosophical role of rubrics in assessment as learning.
