understand how to plan assessment
3.1
When planing assessments you need to be aware of some key factors so you're assessment is relevant and fair to your students. Be aware of what your assessing weather final assessment or ongoing assessment, details which have to be perfect verses details that are not as important, be fully aware of what your looking for the students to achieve throughout assessment. Conformation of relevant policies, requirements and qualifications for your particular subject. You will need the knowledge of the topic you are assessing, you will also need knowledge of assessment procedures. This is so assessments are fair and there is consistency across all students which hold said qualification.
Are learners ready for assessment, you will need to decide wether your students are ready for assessment or weather topics will take teaching/ training to achieve, ongoing assessment helps you keep track of the speed of learning and helps you know if learners are ready for final assessment or competence.
3.2 Evaluate the benefits of using a holistic approach to assessment
This provides an overview of the learner’s performance that can then be used to describe the learner’s body of work is of a specific level, and therefore suggests the learners level, suitability, and potential transference of skills to other courses. By collecting evidence or information from the learner via coursework, observations, presentations, tests etc. the assessor can then sum up the learners overall performance holistically with a single grade.
The major benefit with holistic assessment is the ability to provide a grade that reflects the learner’s ability fairly by breaking my Unit assessments in to smaller tasks. This way you can gain an overview of the learners performance from different assessment methods in addition to watching practical tasks, text evidence and naturally occurring evidence I might see in lectures. This way I can gain an overview or fair representation that can all be added together,
