Principles of assessment
All assessment materials have been developed with the following criteria in mind:
The National Framework for the recognition of training has identified the key principles
of assessment that should be applied to the assessment process. These are:
Validity
Reliability
Flexibility
Fairness
Validity
An assessment is seen as valid when it assesses what it claims to assess. It is achieved
when the assessment used is:
Materials have been developed with the unit of competency specifications in mind with
ALL performance criteria, knowledge and performance included and mapped accordingly.
Assessment involves a practical task where learners can demonstrate their ability to
complete the tasks outlined in the performance evidence. The assessment book contains
three forms of assessment and the formative assessment book contains assessment
questions and activities that can be completed during class time as a practice activity to
enhance the learning process. Workplace or simulated practical activities are included to
highlight the learners skills in the topic. Benchmark answers are provided for written
activities and suggested observations and a list of documents are provided for practical
activities. All questions in the assessments are covered in the learner resource.
Reliability
Benchmark answers are provided for written activities and suggested observations and a
list of documents are provided for practical activities. All questions in the assessments are
covered in the learner resource.
Flexibility
An assessment is seen as flexible when it can be used effectively across a range of
delivery sites and still meet the learner's individual needs.
All assessment have been written in line with the specifications outlined in the unit of
competency. In all cases a minimum of three forms of assessment are used. Provision is
made for contextualisation of assessments to meet the needs of the learner.
Fairness
An assessment is flexible when it is designed in such a way that it does not limit or stop
a learner from completing it simply due to personal factors. For example; age, gender,
educational level, ethnic background etc.
Materials are written with the learners levels in mind. As these resources are written for
many RTO’s with many different learner’s it is expected that assessments are
contextualised to meet the specific needs of your learners. This may mean adjusting
assessments in several ways to meet the needs of each learner studying this unit.
Assessment books contain instructions for both the learner and the assessor informing
them of the assessment process and the resources required to complete the assessment
safely.
Valid
Current
Authentic
Sufficient
All assessment are mapped, in the mapping document. This document provides
information on what performance criteria and performance and knowledge evidence is
covered by what question or activity in the assessment. For an assessor to determine
competency the learner must be deemed competent in all activities. This will highlight the
learner skills and knowledge in this unit.
Current
The evidence must be up to date and suitable to support a competency claim. There is
no point providing evidence of being able to process a layby sale if the documentation
provided reflects practices of 10 years ago.
The unit assessment cover sheet is dated and signed by the learner and all checklists are to
be signed and dated by the assessor or third party. This provides evidence that all
assessment answers provided by the learner to the assessor are current.
Authentic
The assessor must be sure the evidence belongs to the learner and not someone else. If
the evidence was developed by a group of people, then the assessor must access
supplementary information that specified the learner's contribution.
All learners must complete the assessment cover sheet at the front of every unit assessment
and sign the declaration that all work is their own and not copied from another source,
without adequate and accurate referencing.
Sufficient
The quantity of the evidence must be appropriate so the assessor has sufficient
information on which to make a judgement. If insufficient evidence is provided, the
assessor must be able to provide guidelines on the requirements for the next attempt.
Any benchmark answers provided in the assessor guide are objective and only a suggestion
as each student will write something slightly different. These answers can be found in the
unit of competency learner resource.
Learner Guide V3
This unit learner guide has used the new template which includes the following:
Updated ‘about this resource’ and ‘about assessment’ sections to meet the
current wording for units of competency
Updated cover page and style to reflect a modern approach to our resources
Updated the reference page to ensure all referencing is aligned to the MLA
style for citing others work
Assessor Guide V3
This unit assessor guide has used the new template which includes the following:
Written activity has been adjusted to minimise the evidence required for
competency. Previously lengthy benchmark answers were provided that did
not meet the expected level required for answers
Assessment V3
This unit assessment has used the new template which includes the following:
Mapping document V3
This unit mapping document has used the new template which includes the following:
Remapping has been completed where activities and questions have been
changed
Slides have been updated in line with any changes made to the learner guide
