Putting Rubrics to the Test: The Effect of a Model, Criteria Generation, and Rubric‐Referenced Self‐Assessment on Elementary School Students' Writing (2008, result): “We also note that the finding regarding the effect of treatment on criteria such as voice, or ideas and content, stands as a rejoinder to recent critiques of rubrics (Kohn, 2006; Wilson, 2006).”
