Assessment approach & strategies
We thought we would simulate a workplace and we thought we could do formative
assessments through that but not summative.
The context of a training package is all about collection of evidence. Some
of the evidence collected could be by engaging with the Toolbox, but if
that was the total picture then I wouldn’t have thought that the assessment
would be valid.
- All the graphical development and the language was young-person focused.
- We wanted learners to be able to think for themselves.
- There was no virtual lab, this was done in the workplace or the model workshop.
- We used different types of assessment tools to cater for different learning types: portfolios; assignments; simulations; role plays; performance demonstrations; tests; etc
Draft assessment resources
We relied on the content expert at this point for the content and there was a proof of concept stage.
Learner support information
- Learner’s Guide - visual and text resources described the assessment process
- Teacher’s Guide – suggestions for encouraging learners through feedback and acknowledgement of completion.
- Tasks designed assumed teacher involvement.
- Built in points of contact with teacher for learner support.
