To evaluate the internal consistency of their rubrics, the authors have used Cronbach's Alpha. In all, they worked with 72 cases for a total of four analyzed variables.

The results show that the rubric headings proposed have good internal consistency (? = 0.771) so that the different items can be said to be interrelated and can therefore be combined into a single total score.

Taking these results into account, it can be concluded that the rubric is a reliable instrument for assessing the achievement attained by students through the use the criteria evaluated by the proposed activity.
