NZIP Conference
Physics Moderation
Outline
• Purpose of moderation
• Submitting material for moderation
• Physics moderation resources
• Using an assessment task
Purpose of moderation
To provide assurance that:
• assessments are fair, valid and at the national standard
• teachers are making consistent judgements about student performance.
Submitting material for moderation
• Moderation cover sheet
• Task, marking schedule and student work- 4 samples for Unit Standards and 8 for Achievement Standards
• Any additional explanatory notes (for example if assessing 90252 by portfolio of practical work)
• Optional teacher-selected assessed work for professional feedback
Teacher-selected assessed work
• Teachers can send additional samples of student work to ask a specific question of the moderator
• Up to four additional samples can be submitted – these must be for the same standard as is being moderated
• Paired samples on either side of a grade boundary would help to determine that boundary
• Feedback is given separately and not included in the moderation report

Best practice workshops
Planned physics workshops in 2009
• Auckland South-East July 14
• Hamilton October 6
• Napier October 7
• Palmerston North October 8
• Christchurch November 17
• Dunedin November 18
• Invercargill November 19
Using an assessment task
• Best practice: element-by-element check against the standard before use
• Commercial resources - check for the latest version
• Generic schedules (e.g. TKI) must be customised with evidence statements to include examples of all evidence on which judgements are to be made. (“evidence” = student answers)
