Assessable elements and descriptors of quality for AE

Assessable elements and descriptors support teacher judgments about the standard a student has achieved. Assessable elements: identify the valued features of the key learning area to be assessed draw from the two dimensions of the Essential Learnings: Ways of working and Knowledge and understanding can be used together or independently when designing assessment. Descriptors: indicate the qualities evident in student work use an AE scale.

ASSESSABLE ELEMENTS
Knowledge and understanding Investigating and designing Producing Evaluating Reflecting

DESCRIPTORS A
Comprehensive knowledge and understanding of concepts, facts and procedures Discerning interpretation and analysis of information and evidence to generate wellreasoned design ideas Controlled and skilful implementation of production processes to make products Perceptive evaluation of products and processes Perceptive reflection on the impact of technology and on their learning

B
Thorough knowledge and understanding of concepts, facts and procedures Logical interpretation and analysis of information and evidence to generate convincing design ideas Purposeful and effective implementation of production processes to make products Informed evaluation of products and processes Informed reflection on the impact of technology and on their learning

C
Satisfactory knowledge and understanding of concepts, facts and procedures Relevant interpretation and analysis of information and evidence to generate credible design ideas Appropriate and credible implementation of production processes to make products Relevant evaluation of products and processes Relevant reflection on the impact of technology and on their learning

D
Variable knowledge and understanding of concepts, facts and procedures Variable interpretation and analysis of information and evidence to generate design ideas Variable implementation of production processes to make products Narrow evaluation of products and processes Superficial reflection on the impact of technology and on their learning

E
