Abstract

In physics classes, graphs are utilized for various topics to make sure students better understand the relationship between variables. Graphs are especially useful for showing the relationship between dependent and independent variables in experiments carried out in lab classes. There are various sub-steps to drawing a graph. In order to draw a graph, students should have a good grasp of physics subjects; moreover, they should know the characteristics of graphs and be able to form the graph according to the steps. Using rubrics to assess students' drawings at the end of this process, which involves multiple skills, would ensure that the assessment is both more detailed and more reliable and valid. Moreover, using rubrics in teaching how to draw a graph would contribute to students' understanding of the graphs' characteristics; it would also help students clearly see the steps as well as contribute to the improvement of students' drawings through self and peer assessment.
