2.1 GENERAL WORLDSKILLS STANDARDS SPECIFICATION
(WSJSS) INFORMATION
The WSJSS determines knowledge, understanding and specific skills that underpin best international
practices of technical and professional work performance levels. It should reflect a shared global
understanding of what associated working specialty or profession means for industry and business.
The skill competition purpose is to demonstrate best international practices as described by the WSJSS
to the extent they are able to be implemented. The WSJSS is therefore a guide to the required training
and preparation for the skill competition.
In skill competitions knowledge and understanding will be checked through the assessment of the
performance of practical work. There will be no separate tests of knowledge and understanding.
The WSJSS is divided into clearly-defined sections with numbers and headings.
Each section is assigned with a relative percentage of importance within the WSJSS framework. The
sum of all relative importance percentages is 100.
The Marking Scheme and the Test Project will assess only those skills that are set out in the WSJSS.
They will reflect the WSJSS as comprehensively as possible within the constraints of the skill
competition.
The marking scheme and the Test Project will reflect the allocation of marks within the WSJSS to the
maximum possible extent. 5% fluctuations are allowed upon the condition they will not distort the
weightings specified by the WSJSS conditions.

 3 ASSESSMENT STRATEGY AND TECHNICAL
FEATURES OF ASSESSMENT
3.1 MAIN REQUIREMENTS
The Strategy establishes the principles and techniques to which the WSR assessment and marking
must conform.
Expert assessment is the cornerstone of WSR competitions. For this reason, it is the subject of
continuous professional improvement and scrutiny. The accumulated assessment experience will
determine the future use and development direction of main assessment tools used on WSR
competitions: The Marking Scheme, competition task and Competition Information System (CIS).
Assessment on the WSR competitions falls within one of the two categories: measurements and jury's
decision. For both types of assessment, the use of explicit benchmarks against which to assess each
aspect is essential to guarantee quality.
The Marking Scheme must follow the WSJSS weightings. The Test Project is the assessment vehicle for
the skill competition, and should also follow the WSJSS. The CIS enables timely and accurate recording
of marks, and has an expansive supportive capacity.
The Marking Scheme, in outline, will lead the process of Test Project design. During the further
development the Marking Scheme and the Test Project will be designed and developed through an
interactive process in order to ensure joint optimization of inter-relations within the scope of the
WSJSS and the Assessment Strategy. They will be submitted to the Chief Expert for approval together
in order to demonstrate their quality and conformity with the WSJSS.

 4 MARKING SCHEME
4.1 GENERAL GUIDANCE
This section describes the role and place of the Marking Scheme, how the Experts will assess the
Competitor's work demonstrated through the Test Project performance, as well as the procedures and
requirements for marking.
The Marking Scheme is the main tool of WSR competitions and defines the compliance of the Test
Project assessment with the WSJSS. It is intended for the allocation of points between each assessed
aspect which can be related to only one WSJSS module.
Through the reflection of the weightings specified in the WSJSS, the Marking Scheme sets out the Test
Project development parameters. Depending on the skill nature and the requirements to its assessment
it can be helpful to develop the Marking Scheme in detail early on so it can be used as a guide for the
Test Project development. Otherwise the Test Project development shall be based on the generalized
Marking Scheme. Further development of the Test Project is accompanied by the development of
assessment criteria.
Section 2.1 specifies the maximum acceptable variation percentage, the Test Project Marking Schemes
based on the weightings provided in the Standards Specification.
The Marking Scheme and the Test Project may be developed by one person, or a group of Experts, or a
third-party developer. Detailed and final Marking Scheme and Test Project shall be approved by the
Chief Expert.
Furthermore, all Experts are encouraged to submit their proposals on the development of marking
schemes and Test Projects to the Discussion Forum for their further review by the Chief Expert.
In all cases a complete marking scheme approved by the Chief Expert shall be entered into the CIS at
least two days prior to the competition, with the use of a standard CIS spreadsheet or other agreed-
upon methods. The Chief Expert is responsible for this process.

4.2 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

The main headings of the Marking Scheme are the assessment criteria. In some skill competitions
assessment criteria may match the WSJSS section headings; in others they may be completely
different. There are usually from five to nine assessment criteria, that said, there should be at least
three assessment criteria. Whether or not they match the headings, the Marking Scheme must reflect
the weightings specified in the WSJSS.
The Assessment Criteria are created by a person(s) developing the Marking Scheme, who is free to
define the criteria he or she considers most suited to the assessment of the Test Project performance.
The Mark Summary Form generated by the CIS will comprise a list of the assessment criteria.
The number of points allocated to each criterion is calculated by the CIS. This will be the cumulative
sum of points awarded to each aspect within that assessment criterion.

Version: 1.1
WSK2019_TDWSJ10_EN 11 of 22
Date: 22.02.19
 4.3 SUB CRITERIA
Each assessment criterion is divided into one or more sub criteria. Each sub criterion becomes a
heading in the Marking Scheme.
Each (sub criteria) marking form is specified with a certain date on which it will be filled.
Each (sub criteria) marking form contains assessable aspects that are subject to assessment. Each
assessment method is assigned with a special marking form.

4.4 ASPECTS
Each aspect describes in detail one of the assessed indicators, as well as possible marks or marking
instructions.
A marking form lists in detail each marked aspect together with the number of points allocated for its
assessment.
The sum of the points allocated to each Aspect must fall within the range of points specified for each
skill section in the WSJSS. It will be displayed in the CIS point allocation spreadsheet in the following
format:

 4.5 JUDGEMENT ASSESSMENT
Decisions are made using a scale of 0–3. In order to apply the scale in a clear and consistent manner
the jury must carry out a decision with due regard to:
• (criteria) comparison standards as detailed guides to each aspect
• 0–3 scale, where:
0: performance does not meet the industry standard;
1: performance meets the industry standard;
2: performance meets and, in specific respects, exceeds the industry standard;
3: performance wholly exceeds the industry standard and is assessed as excellent
Each aspect is assessed by three Experts, each Expert must perform assessment, after that the alloted
marks will be compared. In case the Expert marks vary by more than 1 point, the Experts must bring
up the assessment of this aspect for discussion and eliminate the variance.

4.6 MEASUREMENT ASSESSMENT

Each aspect shall be assessed by three Experts. Unless otherwise specified, only the maximum mark or
zero will be awarded. If within some aspect it is possible to award marks below the maximum one, it
shall be described in the Marking Scheme with the specification of measurable parameters.

4.7 USE OF MEASUREMENT AND JUDGEMENT ASSESSMENTS

The final understanding of measurement and judgement assessments will become available after the
approval of the Marking Scheme and the Test Project. The provided table contains approximate
information and is intended for the development of the Marking Scheme and the Test Project.
