Moderation of Assessments
Course Code
115759
The purpose of moderation is to ensure that teachers are making consistent judgments about standards. To do this, they must have a shared understanding about the expectations for each standard so that a particular level of achievement (for example, a Credit) is awarded to student responses with the same characteristics, regardless of who marks/grades them.
Moderation is an essential part of ensuring integrity in assessment tasks. It is through this process, particularly at the assessment design and point of assessment stages, that issues of assessment validity and reliability are identified and improved.
Assessors collect evidence of learner competence by giving learners something to do (write, dance, set up an experiment, et cetera). Moderators collect evidence of assessor competence by re-marking not only the evidence of learner performance collected by the teacher/assessor but also by reviewing the assessor?s judgements on the competence or lack of competence of the learner/s concerned.
