Research-based Validation
This is the lowest level of research validation, corresponding to at least one of the validation categories below.
Research Validation Summary
Based on Research Into:
Relevant theory and/or data
Studied Using:
Iterative use of rubric
Inter-rater reliability
Expert review
Research Conducted:
At multiple institutions
By multiple research groups
Peer-reviewed publication
The five factors in this rubric, and markers of success in each factor, were developed based on a broad data set: National surveys of undergraduate physics majors, departmental surveys, interviews with African American students, and site visits to departments that excel in graduating African American students. It was also modeled on other rubrics: (1) the 2017 New England Resource Center for Higher Education Self-Assessment Rubric for the Institutionalization of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Higher Education and (2) the 2018 AAS Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion in Astronomy Graduate Education Departmental Self-Assessment Rubric. Other than this grounding in empirical and theoretical understanding of departmental climate, it has not been research-validated to determine the degree to which rubric results do or do not correspond to a strong departmental climate.
