Teacher Research Topic

Throughout my classroom observations this year, I have seen numerous rubrics used for project grading. For the most part, I have witnessed grades being given based on teacher discretion, not the formulated rubric. So why do these teachers use rubrics? What are rubrics and who are they really for? I am implementing a questionnaire and test to students and teachers to find the answers behind my questions.
