Instructing • written worksheet• observation of practical teaching • written evaluation
Methods of Assessment • Formative – ongoing feedback on learners progress which must take
place prior to ongoing assessment. There must be some written evidence that this has taken place
• Ongoing summative of specific gym-based exercises – a formal summative assessment counts towards the final assessment result. Learner should only undertake this assessment when the tutor deems them competent
• Final summative of a gym-based session – to create the overall assessment decision
Flexible Assessment
• CYQ will allow some flexibility in its assessment strategies to meet the needs of approved centres and learners
• Where this is desired, centres must seek approval from CYQ for adjustments to an existing, published assessment strategy in advance of carrying out assessment
• Questions should be addressed to [email protected]
(see CYQ Flexible Assessment Policy)
Logical Assessment Structure
Summative assessment process
• Briefing • Observation • Questioning – if required – cannot be used to infer practical
competence • Result • Action Plan
Malpractice/Maladministration
Malpractice
• Any deliberate activity neglect, default or other practice that compromises assessment, the integrity of the qualification, certification or the reputation/credibility of the awarding organisation
Maladministration
• Any activity, neglect, default or other practice that results in the centre not complying with specified requirements of delivery of the units and qualifications
Refer to policy for examples of centre and learner malpractice and maladministration
