School-based assessment The Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) Manual contains essential information on principles, policies and procedures for school-based assessment that needs to be read in conjunction with this syllabus. Teachers design school-based assessment tasks to meet the needs of students. The table below provides details of the assessment types for the Materials Design and Technology General Year 1 syllabus and the weighting for each assessment type. Assessment table Year 1 Type of assessment Design (Practical portfolio) Weighting 5% Students apply a design process to develop a product or project. Students are assessed on how they: investigate products or projects devise, develop and modify design solutions throughout the technology process present their findings in written, oral or multimedia form. Types of evidence can include: images, observation checklists, evaluation tools (self or peer), journal, design proposal and project proposal, using a range of communication strategies. Production (Practical) 50% Extended and manufacturing project(s) where students control, evaluate and manage processes. Students are assessed on their: understanding, confidence and competence when using skills in manufacturing processes and when managing production plans manufactured product in terms of quality and finish. Types of evidence can include: manufactured products, journal, observation checklists and evaluation tools (self or peer) and on-balance judgements. Response (written) 10% Students apply their knowledge and skills in responding to a series of stimuli or prompts in the following formats: examinations, essays, oral responses, ICT visual responses and product evaluation reports. Externally set task 15% A written task or item or set of items of one hour duration developed by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority and administered by the school. Teachers are required to use the assessment table to develop an assessment outline for the pair of units. The assessment outline must: include a set of assessment tasks 9
include a general description of each task indicate the unit content to be assessed indicate a weighting for each task and each assessment type include the approximate timing of each task (for example, the week the task is conducted, or the issue and submission dates for an extended task). All assessment types must be included in the assessment outline at least twice with the exception of the externally set task which only occurs once. The set of assessment tasks must provide a representative sampling of the content for Unit 3 and Unit 4. Assessment tasks not administered under test/controlled conditions require appropriate validation/authentication processes. Externally set task All students enrolled in the Materials Design and Technology General Year 1 course will complete the externally set task developed by the Authority. Schools are required to administer this task in Term at a time prescribed by the Authority. Externally set task design brief Year 1 Time Format One hour Written Conducted under invigilated conditions Typically between two and five questions/items Content The Authority informs schools during Term 3 of the previous year of the Unit 3 syllabus content on which the task will be based Refer to the WACE Manual for further information. Grading Schools report student achievement in terms of the following grades: Grade A B C D E Interpretation Excellent achievement High achievement Satisfactory achievement Limited achievement Very low achievement 10
The teacher prepares a ranked list and assigns the student a grade for the pair of units. The grade is based on the student s overall performance as judged by reference to a set of pre-determined standards. These standards are defined by grade descriptions and annotated work samples. The grade descriptions for the Materials Design and Technology General Year 1 syllabus are provided in Appendix 1. They can also be accessed, together with annotated work samples, through the Guide to Grades link on the course page of the Authority website at www.scsa.wa.edu.au To be assigned a grade, a student must have had the opportunity to complete the education program, including the assessment program (unless the school accepts that there are exceptional and justifiable circumstances). Refer to the WACE Manual for further information about the use of a ranked list in the process of assigning grades. 11
