How to Use Other Assessment Methods Which Have Not Been Observed
Discover innovative assessment methods beyond observation in this blog. Learn how to effectively incorporate diverse evaluation techniques to enrich the learning experience.
Professional Discussion
This assessment method, in the form of oral questioning, can be employed for the NVQ knowledge criteria that do not require supporting work product evidence. The audio discussion can be recorded and uploaded to the attachment sections of the units in their OneFile account.
Witness Testimony
Students can submit witness testimonies if they are unable to provide the required supporting work products for confidentiality reasons or if the authenticity of the products is in doubt. This can be in the form of written or face-to-face verbal communication or recording with responsible persons in their workplace. This could be a senior colleague or line manager testifying to the authenticity of the student statements or work products.
Looking at Learner Statements
The performance criteria of the NVQ units are usually reflective accounts of past projects or work activities that have been carried out by the students. They discuss in greater detail their involvement in the work product evidence they have attached. They personalise their experience and evaluate the construction activities discussed.
