For example will assessment be initial/pre course, formative, summative or based on recognised prior learning. The assessor will need to decide the methods or activities to be used for assessment such as observations, performance evidence, discussion or witness/learner statement.
How knowledge and understanding is going to be assessed also needs careful thought and could include tests, multiple choice questions, written assignment/task, a reflective journal, verbal questioning or naturally occurring evidence, all of which need to be fit for purpose and relate to the learner’s specific needs.
Further considerations for assessment planning are to determine who will be assessing the learning/learner and how progress will be monitored and reviewed following feedback. 3.2 Evaluate the benefits of using a holistic approach to …show more content…
For example meeting outcomes and objectives identified in assessment plan, ensuring evidence is coherent, accessible, realistic, relevant, and attributable and achieved within any time constraints. The assessor also needs to consider if the evidence is compatible with the learning programme and required assessment outcomes and whether the evidence is contextualised. Another way for the assessor to support their judgements on whether evidence is sufficient, authentic and current is to ensure they are adhering to organisation, industry, awarding body and government requirements and standards. 5.2 Explain how to ensure that assessment decisions are made against specified criteria, valid, reliable and fair
To ensure assessment decisions are made against specified criteria, are valid, reliable and fair the assessor must clearly identify the range of evidence being used which should be both current and relevant. Assessment and assessment decisions need to be appropriate to the assessment criteria and have a valid currency, standard or level. Assessment decisions should be made without bias and relate to the identified criteria to ensure fairness and comply with organisation and/or industry, awarding body and government requirements. Furthermore, addressing specific learner needs will also ensure assessment decisions are valid, reliable and
