Education / Pedagogy / education | | English term or phrase: descriptor | Transforming a grade-related marking schedule into a unit standard
As an external examiner, I have been using the marking schedule for a number of years. It is not too dissimilar to the banded marking schedules that have been used for many years in the marking of Bursary English essays. I use it to mark taped presentations describing how an Theatre Arts candidate would direct one of three externally prescribed plays. The candidates I
mark come from a range of countries (not New Zealand) and I am check-marked by a HOD Drama in an Australian secondary college. Curiously enough, we are invariably close on the grades we award.
Still, even a cursory glance at the descriptor related to Mark Band 21-25 will remind us of the limitations of this kind of achievement-based assessment. It is full of language (mainly adjectives) which call on examiners to make judgments on the quality of the candidate's work: "highly imaginative, adventurous, illuminating and original", "effective", "thorough", "practicable", "thoughtful, sensitive" and so on. Who is to say that my understanding of what it means to be original is the same as the next marker's? |
