History

The draft 2003 Assessment and Reporting Framework new window 302k proposed that Education Queensland's assessment system incorporate three key ideas:

authentic, complex standardised assessment tasks
moderated school-based assessment, and
standards-references judgments of student performance.

Standardised assessment tasks improve the comparability of results reported to parents and the system about the quality of the learning that has occurred and under what conditions the evidence of the learning was gathered.

Effective classroom assessment can deliver comparability if appropriate assessment criteria and standards descriptors are used to inform teacher judgments about the nature of student learning and if standards assurance processes are in place.

A number of schools have been involved in developmental work associated with the Assessment and Reporting Framework. Their work has required the design and implementation of Teacher Generated Tasks (TGTs) and the administration of the Queensland Assessment Task (QAT).

The following domains or learning areas have been the focus of the work.

2003

Physical Activity

Natural and Processed Materials

2004

Study of Society and the Environment

The Arts

2005

Mathematics

Technology

Participating schools are listed:

Pilot Study Schools 2003 new window 55k
Pilot Study Extension Schools 2004/05 new window 76k
Pilot Study Extension Schools 2005/06 - Gladstone and Isis Burnett Districts

The TGT project has been informed by continuing research. Description of what has been learned is available in the following reports:
