Getting competency-based assessment right
An overview of the Quality Principles
It seems as though you've finished designing your assessment kit
Or... have you?
You've addressed all of the criteria check
You've considered the context check
You've considered the candidate check
But what about…
Evidence Rules
Is the assessment evidence
(proof of competence)
Valid: appropriate
Sufficient: enough
Current: recent
and
Authentic: genuine
"I'm ready but
where's my assessor?"
Assessing fishing skills….
By written research?
(On its own)
Wrong
That method is unlikely to collect valid evidence.
And let's not forget the…
Principles of Assessment
Validity
Reliability
Flexibility
Fairness
So…was that fishing assessment…
Valid, no Fair, no
Reliable, no
Assessing someone who fishes
by written report alone?
For validity, fairness and reliability we need industry-suitable, workplace-suitable
and assessment-candidate-suitable assessment methods.
In this case – practical demonstration in a fishing setting would be best.
