In 2014 NZQA received approximately 2.6 million internally assessed results from schools

NZQA accepts these results at face value

Internal moderation is the quality assurance process that validates these results before reported

Schools must report to NZQA only those internal assessment results which have been subject to an

internal moderation process

(Rule 5.6b)Slide7

Each year NZQA externally moderate approximately 100,000 randomly selected samples

This represents approximately 3.8% of the nearly 2.6 million results reported

These are largely from the previous year’s work

This “light touch”, high trust model requires a high level of accountability

Internal moderation is the quality assurance check that demonstrates accountability

External moderation confirms the robustness of the schools internal moderationSlide8

It is a calculation of a national moderator/teacher agreement rate at each NCEA level, published in NZQA’s annual report

What is the National Systems Check?

This session will:

Explore what future assessment could or will look like

Discuss changes that may be needed and the tools that may be used to lead assessment for the future in your school

Discuss evidence collection and sufficiency

Slide13

Principles of good assessment practice when gathering credible evidence

Assess when ready

Use of feedback and feedforward information

Gather evidence from a range of activities and use it for more than one purposeSlide14

Future state - External assessment

F

ive

principles of digital external assessment are that it will be:

used

to enhance the student’s external assessment experience through good assessment practice that reflects current pedagogy

introduced

following a thorough trial and evaluation period

. (Schools

are encouraged to be involved in these

trials

to

assess their readiness)

used

only if appropriate for that subject

use

digital technology to enhance the marking process developed in parallel with the digital submission of externally assessed portfolios.See handbook pages 40-42 for information on Digital Trials and Pilots in 2016Slide20

External moderation submission

Currently

The future

Paper, DVD, USB via courier

We intend to have a fully automated online system for moderation available from 2017

Online by submitting URLs through online moderation plan

This system will be simple and intuitive to use

Google Drive,

DropBox

,

MyPortfolio

, Office 365, Blogs, Websites,

etc

It will still be possible to submit by courier as this system is phased in

We will be consulting with the sector from March/April this year and more information will

follow

See handbook pages 37 and 38 for instructions on how to submit electronicallySlide21

New Process to register for assessor support

New “Registration of Interest” process developed to give assessors the ability to indicate their preferred assessor support options.

Enables NZQA to identify needs and develop an on-demand schedule of support.

This support will include:

visits from guest speakers

online opportunities; and

face-to-face regional workshops

Registrants will also be able to indicate:

how far they could travel,

nominate times; and

r

equest optional extras such as catering and other resourcesSlide22

Attestation survey of relationships with external providers

Why was the attestation survey conducted?

An important role of NZQA is to help schools to manage risk to the credibility of the NCEA qualification.

If schools report results incorrectly using their provider code or the provider code of another external provider, then potentially these results:

Have not been assessed under credible assessment conditions

Are not available for moderation

(see: Consent guidelines 8.1-8.4, 13.1 and 13.2 and Circulars A2015/024 and A2015/26)

What happens next?

Your SRM will discuss your school’s attestation survey with you when they visit your school.

NZQA plans, in the future, to collect this information from your data file submission.Slide24

Guidance to students wishing to study overseas

Students should check the requirements of the university they are proposing to enrol in

Some Universities are asking for a Grade Point Average (GPA)

GPA calculations require at least 90 credits of reported results (N, A, M, E) at the Level of the GPA

German University Entrance requirements have changed for students enrolling in 2017

Ensure your International Dean/Coordinator checks the NZQA website for international recognition of NCEA for specific countriesSlide26

Special Assessment Conditions - Key Dates

14 March – First time ever applications for students with Special Learning Disorders CLOSES

1 Feb – 15 April: Students previously approved (rollovers) – confirm, change or remove last years entitlement

1 April onward data files - NZQA will transfer previously approved students

to the schools they are enrolled in for

2016. Their

name and approved entitlements will appear on your school’s SAC

‘submitted’ or ‘rollover” list.

1 July - facility to attach approved SAC entitlements to external standards opens

1 August data file – make

final external exam entries

for SAC candidates

24 August – facility to attach approved SAC entitlements to external standards CLOSES.Slide27

2016 Digital Trials & Pilots

To build on the 2015 learnings NZQA is undertaking a series of trials and pilots in

2016.

Two main aims

Provide a significant step towards the transformation of the examination system

Provide an opportunity for schools to evaluate their readiness to manage digital examinationsSlide28

A trial digital examination

Does not count towards NCEA

Will involve all external standards of the subject

Will be available for schools to use in Sept & Oct

NZQA will be developing trial digital examinations in the following subjects (all level 1)

Health

Economics

Business Studies

Geography

History

Music

Physics

Science

Te

Reo

Rangatira

Samoan

SpanishSlide29

A pilot digital examination

Will count towards NCEA

Will involve all external standards of the subject

Candidates will complete either the digital examination OR the paper based examination

NZQA will develop a set of sample assessments in June/July

NZQA will be developing pilot digital examinations in the following subjects (all level 1)

English

Classical Studies

Media Studies

FrenchSlide30

Other things PNs will need to

know:

Communications

to schools will be through the PN

Involvement is on a voluntary basis only

Schools will receive a set of technical specifications to assist them in evaluating their own capacity before they opt in

All trial and pilot examinations will be able to be translated into

Te

reo if required

All trial and pilot examinations will have some functionality for some students who require Special Assessment Conditions
