  4. Authentic Assessment A form of assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills (Jon Mueller)

  5. Features of Authentic Assessment • Performing a task • Real-life cases • Construction / Application of knowledge • Direct evidence • Student-structured responses

  6. Example: Practice Paper Paper 1 Q1

  7. Source B

  8. (a) Interpret the cartoon with reference to Source A. Using data to explain Source A functions as reference framework for the interpretation. (b) Some people say that industrial and agricultural development brings about negative impacts on our quality of life. Explain how this point of view can be supported by using Source A. No need for candidates’ own stance Use data (facts) as evidence to elaborate the arguments

Using information from the above sources and your own knowledge, suggest and explain ways to reduce the risk of Hong Kong people consuming rice from the mainland containing excessive levels of cadmium. • High-order thinking and judgement on one’s own suggestions: feasibility (why suggest it / them) • Liberal elaboration • Knowledge construction Enquiry framework

  10. Design of Marking Guidelines Key Features: Descriptors provide criteria and flexibility for marking • Description of candidates’ achievement of the course outcomes (positive description) • A full range of candidates’ performance Level-wise mark range

  14.

  29. School Repeaters and Transfer Students in S6 • Submission of One mark on Task and One mark on Process for the Product Stage in S6 • The submitted marks will be proportionally adjusted to 20% of the total weighting • Schools should devise process assessment activities of same or similar nature and complexity as students in the same cohort so that fairness of assessment of the IES is achieved • Students are advised to improve their previous Products in the repeating year, e.g. • Enrich the literature review • Supplement the data/ information • Polish the parts of discussion and conclusion

  30. Role of TA in Liberal Studies Public Assessment (e.g.) • Information Search and classification (e.g. news info) • Record keeping (sample papers and scripts, IES Process and Tasks) • Data Verification (e.g. data used in test and exam papers) • Standardisation coordination (e.g. photocopying of student sample scripts) • Display of news of current issues related to the curriculum • Mark verification and submission (e.g. IES Process and Task marks)
