VETiS Moderation meetings – November 2012

Welcome to the Australian Institute of Education and Training


Welcome and Introductions


Objectives of the meeting

•Understand the purpose of validation and moderation•Why we need to moderate materials•Understand AIET requirements•Analyse student feedback•Provide your own feedback to AIET•Understand requirements for 2013


Purpose of validation...

...is to ensure that assessments meet the principals of assessment and rules of evidence


Principals of assessment:

ValidThe assessment meets the requirements of the training package

ReliableThe Assessment Tasks achieve consistent results

FlexibleAssessment Tasks should meet the individual needs and requirements of students while maintaining validity and reliability

FairAssessments are unbiased, reasonable and clear, provide feedback to students, and are designed to meet individual needs.


Rules of Evidence:

ValidThe assessment meets the requirements of the training package

SufficientThere is enough evidence available to say that the student is competent

CurrentThe evidence shows that the student is currently competent

AuthenticIs the evidence provided the students’ own work?


Moderation

This checks consistency and reliability between assessors.


AIET requirements

Under our registration obligations we are required to undertake validation and moderation at least once per year.


Question:

How can we moderate tasks if students are completing DIFFERENT assessment tasks?

How can we be sure the Assessment Tasks given to students meet the principles of assessment and rules of evidence?


ANSWER:

The only way we can easily do this is if everyone is giving students the same Assessment Tasks....

.... so this is why we need you to use our learning and assessment materials.


So how do other RTO’s manage this process where schools can use any materials they like?

The simple answer is, we don’t know.


Our process of validation includes putting together a Learning and Assessment strategy, a Training Plan, and a mapping document.

Teachers using their own learning and assessment materials would therefore need to provide us with all these things:-Learning and Assessment strategy- Training Plan- Mapping document- Obviously the learning and assessment materials that go with it.

Anyone wish to do this?


Analyse student feedback

This provides us with evidence on areas including training quality; work readiness; training conditions; learner engagement.

We will provide you with student feedback from VET in Schools for this year later in the workshop.


Teacher feedback

From our perspective, we also need to get feedback from you about our VET in Schools service to you. This can be done online.


Collecting Student Work

Insert ASQA general Direction


Requirements for next year:

•Have the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment•Maintain and update your vocational competencies•Continue to develop your knowledge by attending professional •development activities•Use our learning and assessment materials•Provide validation materials at the end of term 2 (2 units of •work from 2 students), and complete the cover sheet for each •item of work submitted•Submit all assessment items for students finishing the course •and not enrolling in the course in the following year (regardless •of whether they have been assessed as competent in all units or not.


Any questions to this point?


Next year we intend to provide each school with their own web page, with access restricted by user name and password. The web page will hold all of the required documentation for that school – MOU, Vocational Competencies, PD forms, etc.

This way your coordinator will be able to see at a glance what has been submitted and what has not.

We anticipate that we will start setting up these web pages next week.

All documentation will therefore be completed electronically.


Student enrolments

These will also be done online through our web site portal.

Go to http://www.aiet.edu.auClick on ONLINE REGISTRATIONClick HERE for online registration for VET in Schools coursesEnter the password – vetinschoolsEnter the details and click SUBMIT at the bottom of the page.

Students can therefore start registering NOW – the sooner the better. A list of student enrolments for each school will be placed on each schools’ web page and updated once a week. It will be responsibility of the coordinator and / or the teacher to check the list on a regular basis to make sure that all students in the class register.

MODERATION OF STUDENT WORK

The idea of the moderation exercise is to work towards creating more consistent assessment outcomes betweenschools and between classes that use AIET as the RTO.

This is to promote fairness but also to assist in terms of students who receive an ATAR score.


In groups of three or four (depending on numbers present) we would like you to look at and moderate approximately 25% of the units for the course; over a period of 4 years, therefore, assuming we select different units each year, we should therefore look at all units in the course.

Please make sure that between you, we look at both Unit 1& 2 and Unit 3 & 4 units.

Please complete the template provided for the activity.
