Principles of assessment
Notas del editor
- There are many different types of assessment methods. Regardless of the method, validation consists of a review of the same four things, the principles of assessment.
- The principles of assessment are: Validity: does it assesses what it claims to assess Reliability: is the assessment repeatable and consistent Flexibility: can the method be used in different situations or adapted for candidates with special needs And Fairness: does the measure assess all candidates equally or does it some how advantage or disadvantage some candidates.
- In addition to the principles of assessment, it is important that: - the candidate understands the context and purpose of the assessment - the assessment focuses on the application of knowledge and skill to - the workplace standard, and - the assessment method is equitable for all candidates, taking into account needs of culture, language, literacy, and numeracy
- With respect to the assessment tool, the assessor decides: - what information to include in the assessment tool - what information to not include in the assessment tool - the type of language that is used in the assessment tool - the type of things that candidates will need to do to be assessed - the type of evidence that is needed to make a decision of competency - the types of things that candidates can do to provide that evidence and - the level of performance that the evidence indicates (or specifically, is the candidate competent?)
- When validating the assessment, we are examining each of the questions to see if the decisions made by the assessor are good decisions. A good decision meets the principles of assessment and rules of evidence
- Validation is important because if we cannot trust the assessment, then we cannot trust the qualification.
- There are many different types of errors in judgement that can be made by an assessor. Some of these include: - the Halo Effect - Pre-judging and - Cultural or gender stereotyping
- The Halo Effect occurs when an assessor thinks so highly of a participant, they allow him to receive a qualification without meeting the same standard of competency other learners must achieve.
- Pre-judging is when judging is influenced by earlier judgements of a person’s performance.
- Cultural or gender stereotypes occur when judgements are influenced by a bias about the potential level of a person’s performance based on the person’s characteristics.
- Awareness of the Code of Practice for Assessors can help prevent making judgements in error.
