PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WEIGHTING

Presented by:
TVET CDACC SECRETARIAT
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WEIGHTING

• Weighting of performance criteria guides on evaluation of

specific observable standards by which candidate’s
performance or products will be assessed based on their
importance.
• The observable standards are specific and measurable
statements defining performance required to meet learning
outcomes.   
 Importance of Performance Criteria
Weighting

It ensures the critical Performance Criteria are given more

weight compared to those that are non critical.

It ensures standardization in development of assessment tools

i.e., allocation of marks to various performance criteria.

It guides on scoring the achievement of candidate against

performance criteria.
 Factors Considered In PC RANKING

Criticalor Non critical PC

Knowledge based PC or Performance based PC

Creativity level required to accomplish a task

Number of tasks involved in the PC

Whether the PC requires a Product or a Process or both.

Distribute the weight for each element to theory and

practical assessment using TVET CDACC weighting for
each level. (See slide No. 7)

After weighting the elements you proceed to weight

Performance criteria in each element using the factors
mentioned in slide No. 4.
