    About this ebook

    PASS FIRST TIME!

     

    This textbook provides you with the tools and techniques to ensure your answers align to awarding organisation assessment criteria requirements.

     

    While the qualification textbook Award in Education and Training: The Comprehensive Course Companion provides the information needed to ensure you pass the qualification, this textbook seeks to ensure you fully understand how to apply that information effectively to your assessment(s). This will reduce the risk of you misunderstanding, over-answering or under-answering a question or task and provide you with a better understanding of what each element / assessment criteria of the units require.

    It also includes practical suggestions related to practice in the sector, what to focus on in your response, how to structure the response and further sources of information or guidance to consult or reference in order to support your answer. This textbook will provide you with the tools and, together with the above qualification textbook, the information needed to pass each assessment first time.

      Meeting the Assessment Requirements of the Award in Education and Training - Nabeel Zaidi

      How to use this textbook

      This textbook covers all three units of the Award in Education and Training. It is therefore divided into three parts, each part covering a unit of the qualification. Each unit is divided into awarding organisation learning outcomes and assessment criteria, with similar headings. This textbook should be read in conjunction with the textbook entitled Achieving your Award in Education and Training: The Comprehensive Course Companion¹. The content has been arranged by unit, learning outcomes and assessment criteria, thereby making cross referencing to your assignments and the above textbook much easier.

      There is a glossary of terms at the end of this textbook, which you should find useful when reading through the textbook.

      Introduction

      The approach of this textbook is to provide you with a structure for responses that are aligned to the assessment criteria and, in particular, the command verbs contained therein. Reference is also made to the possible topics or points you could examine. The vast majority of the information needed and referred to in this textbook is already contained in the above textbook.

      Understanding the bigger picture

      There are approximately 40 awarding organisations offering the Award in Education and Training qualification. Learning providers seek centre recognition / approval and qualification approval to run this and other qualifications. The qualifications are internally assessed by the learning provider using a range of assessment methods and externally monitored by an awarding organisation to ensure that its centres (i.e. learning providers) are meeting their quality assurance requirements for managing and delivering the qualification. The awarding organisations are in turn regulated by Ofqual, which seeks to monitor their compliance with the General Conditions of Recognition², as well as related conditions.

      You might be thinking why and how is this relevant to me passing the qualification?. Well, it means that learning providers are limited in how they internally assess the qualification. Although they have a degree of discretion in selecting assessment methods, these must be appropriate and fit for purpose, in that they must generate the evidence required by the qualification. External monitoring normally takes the form of an external verifier, who is contracted or employed by the awarding organisation and possesses sufficient subject expertise, to monitor centre compliance with awarding organisation requirements. Where there are issues of compliance, the awarding organisation could delay the issuing of certificates until the issues are rectified. Centres that have good practices in place and have been operating over a certain period of time might have ‘direct claims status’, which means that they have fewer external verifier visits. The upshot of all this that a learning provider must not deviate from the learning outcomes and assessment criteria in the qualification. Deviation can include the following:

      Over-assessing: requiring more evidence than is actually required, including elements that are not needed to meet the assessment criteria;

      Under-assessing: requiring less evidence than is actually required;

      Misalignment with command verbs: each assessment criteria has a command verb, such as ‘identify’, ‘summarise’, ‘describe’, ‘explain’. Each of these has a different meaning and therefore affect the quantity and quality of evidence generated. Where the task uses a command verb, such as ‘evaluate’ instead of ‘identify’, it will be clearly over-assessing the candidate, whereas if it used the command verb ‘identify’ instead of ‘explain’ there is a high likelihood that it will be under-assessing the candidate.

      The implications of this are that while learning providers can write their own assignments, assessments, worksheets, tasks and select from a broad range of assessment methods, they must not deviate from the learning outcomes and assessment criteria in the qualification. Each awarding organisation makes available a copy of its qualification specification or similar
