Results were posted within local newspapers.
 - Subject matter was organised to rehearse and prepare students to perform under time restricted conditions. 
 - No opportunity for creative/critical thinking or problem solving. 
- Letter grading system ]]> 2020-07-09 11:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonmancell/k616epj91go5a758/wish/650912475 jasonmancell https://padlet.com/jasonmancell/k616epj91go5a758/wish/652948169  - Australian Council for Educational Research reviewed the system based on public pressure to abolish the public result examinations.

 - Teacher created tests were replaced and externally controlled exams were gone.
 - This gave teachers opportunities to implement ongoing/continuous assessment  strategies in the form of assignments & tests (norm-based approach to assessment).
 - Grading system of 1-7 replaced letter based marking.

 - A change from norm-based to a criteria based approach to assessment. 
 - This transition saw a shift from inter-student comparisons to an objectives driven curriculum as well as a criteria-based system of assessment where students were judged on specific standards (not purely the teachers standards). 
- Teachers struggled to adapt from Radford numerical system to ROSBA's five levels of achievement. ]]> 2020-07-13 04:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonmancell/k616epj91go5a758/wish/652954057 jasonmancell https://padlet.com/jasonmancell/k616epj91go5a758/wish/652959705  - The Assessment Unit from 1986-1989 created a theoretical framework to assist teachers in how to effectively utilise the ROSBA approach to assessment.
 - Unfortunately this information did not successfully circulate around the state/nation, so schools were learning 'on the job' regarding the implementation of the ROSBA system. 
 - As teachers were conducting formative & summative assessment strategies whilst making judgments from criteria/standards premises - teachers still had intrinsic influences on student performance. Interpretations on criteria could be argued and a evidence based reflection on curriculum assessment/reporting became apparent.

 - To bridge the gap from theoretical framing and accountability measures currently in place, four key elements of assessment for student learning and reporting with confidence is apparent: 
1. Assessment
2. Standards
3. Judgement
4. Moderation

 - Teacher reflection on whether quality teaching pedagogies, assessment implementation & judgments are more in focus.
 - This ensures students have the best opportunity to learn, perform & succeed in their development. 
- Students have the right to self-monitor their progress and have the opportunities to demonstrate their learning. This is why providing students with assessment information, examples and success criteria is important. ]]> 2020-07-13 04:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonmancell/k616epj91go5a758/wish/652964884 jasonmancell https://padlet.com/jasonmancell/k616epj91go5a758/wish/653012792 BSSSS 1971-2002
