it has to be with subheadings. Written assessment: Critically reviewing the design of a scheme of assessment in a given context This assignment is an opportunity for you to apply some of the basic principles of assessment to an analysis and evaluation of a scheme of assessment (incorporating several assessment tasks) which you have chosen to study. For your assignment, you will need to: ? Choose an example of an assessment scheme set to a group of learners. It could be for early years assessments, KS2, a specific subject at GCSE, AS level, A level, Welsh Baccalaureate, or even a specific module at undergraduate level. Other appropriate schemes of assessment can be considered following consultation with the module coordinator. ? Your critical review should focus on the fitness for purpose of your example. In other words Does the assessment scheme incorporate good assessment tasks? As guidance the issues identified in Lectures 2 and 3 will serve as a good starting point to frame your review, for example: o Are there issues relating to the precision or accuracy of the assessment marks? o Can we be sure that the assessments will yield reliable results? o Are there any issues regarding the validity of the assessments? o Are there any concerns regarding the nature of assessments- ie are they linear schemes? 100% examination? What are the potential issues with this? ? Your critical review should be written in the form of a report rather than an essay using sub-headings, bullet-points as appropriate; ? Ensure that you consult the academic literature. ? Finally, please refer to the School of Educations general guidelines on how your assignment will be assessed.
