  1. Standard for providers’ responsibility for the authenticity and academic integrity of student work submitted for assessment Dr Reg Allen CEO Tasmanian Qualifications Authority

  2. Authenticity and Academic Integrity • The work is mine, except ... • another person contributed ideas, words, images • I’ve used another person’ data, words, images, ideas… • and I’ve been specific, open and honest about this

  3. Context • Educational and assessment value (validity) of folios/assignments • Easy access to material • Collaboration - group work • German minister resigns • South Australia professor resigns

  4. Context – how some students see it • “It’s just that I left out some referencing.” • “It’s homage (I’m post-modern).” • “I’ve listed a bibliography.” • “I don’t remember where I got this.” • “I left something out.” • “My teacher said it was ok.”

  5. The Standard • Set by Authority for TQA level 3 courses • Full implementation by 2012 • Provider is responsible for ensuring • authenticity and integrity of work submitted for assessment (internal/external) • TQA can accept work submitted for external assessment with confidence in the student and teacher declaration

  6. Provider Procedure • Is documented • Must include: • how and when students learn • submission procedures • teacher knowledge of each student’s work, skills, knowledge • checking/verifying procedures • what to do when teacher is not available • student review

  7. External Assessment Folios – Declaration • Student declaration (authenticity and integrity) • Teacher declaration: • on behalf of provider • submitted on time • procedures followed • good grounds for confidence in authenticity and integrity

  8. Challenges • Learning from previous school experience • Reward for effort • “Everybody does it.” • Teacher uncertainty about difference between feedback and material contribution • Teacher not available to sign declaration • School - not teacher - responsibility

  9. Discussion • Variations between providers • Design of procedures (nature, timing) • Implementation • Teacher declaration • Verification procedures • When to raise questions (criteria, principles) • What to do • Student review
