Good Assessment Principles • Fairness • Validity • Reliability • Practicability • MUST assess the learner’s ability to perform • CRITICAL overriding principle -> ETHICS
Formative Assessment… • Is designed to support teaching and learning • Assists in planning future learning • Diagnoses learners’ strengths and weaknesses • Provides feedback to the learner • Helps decide on the readiness of a learner to do a summative assessment • Is developmental in nature
Assessment in OBET Outputs / End Products Emphasis on… In the form of… Outcomes & Competence Together these are astatement of thestandards the learners are expected to achieve Measured by means of… Assessment Criteria Which measures… Applied Competence Consisting of… Practical Competence Foundational Competence Reflexive Competence
Summative Assessment… • Happens at the end of a learning programme • Determines whether the learner is competent or not yet competent • In OBET, learner readiness determines when the assessment will take place • Is carried out when the learner and the assessor agree that the learner is ready for the assessment
Types of Evidence • Naturally occurring evidence (such as in a workplace setting) • Evidence from other sources • Supervisors reports • Testimonials • Portfolio of work previously done • Logbooks • Journals • Oral questioning • Observation • Written assessments
Direct Evidence • Direct observation of tasks • Questioning (i.e. written or oral) • Product and output evaluation
Indirect Evidence • Team outputs • Work completed at an earlier stage • Performance appraisals • Training records • Testimonials • Reviews and Commendations • Certificates and Qualifications • Medals, prizes and trophies • Customer / client ratings
Historical Evidence • Projects and portfolios • Completed work • Video performance • As per indirect evidence
MODERATION • The main functions or Moderation systems are: • To verify that assessments are fair, valid, reliable and practicable • To identify the need to redesign assessments if required • To provide an appeals procedure for dissatisfied learners • To evaluate the performance of assessors • To provide procedures for the de-registration of unsatisfactory assessors • To provide feedback to various bodies, including the NSBs on unit standards and qualifications
