Rubric created by Katherine N. Yngve, CILMAR, IDA+A, Purdue University, based on the following:

 

Clayton, P. (2019). Critical reflection. PHC Ventures. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51a00182e4b00ebfe3c66f62/t/5da7cdc7aede15626307e321/1571278279941/Critical+Reflection.pdf

 

Also mapped to elements of the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge & Competence Rubric:

Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). (2009). Intercultural knowledge and competence VALUE rubric. https://www.aacu.org/value/rubrics/intercultural-knowledge

Typically, the instructor uses the rubric to assess critical thinking skills of the learner(s).   If the model is given to the learners after an intercultural learning experience, the instructor will generally find that learners reflect more deeply rather than merely reporting what happened and how they did or didn't like it.

The Link provided includes a description of the DEAL model for asking the learner to produce good critical reflections; e.g. Describe, Examine, Articulate Learning.
