Develop evidence criteria to judge the quality of performance

Marking guides are a critical part of an assessment tool as they assist assessors in making consistent assessment decisions about competence. A well-designed marking guide arms assessors with advice aimed at minimising variations in judgements and ensures that the same evidence presented by different students or to different assessors results in the same decision.

This webinar replay with Marc Ratcliffe recorded in 2023 outlines the elements of a best practice marking guide, including how to develop evidence criteria to judge the quality of performance, how to frame model answers for the evaluation of knowledge and how to use descriptions of observations needed to assess skills and/or the application of knowledge in a practical activity. It also identifies other useful information (such as guidance on contextualisation and reasonable adjustments) to support assessors in understanding the full intent of the unit of competency forming the basis of the assessment. 

Key Outcomes:

• Discuss common marking guide challenges
• Describe the elements of a best practice marking guide
• Outline how to develop evidence criteria to judge the quality of performance
• Identify how to structure key advice for assessors
• Explain how marking guides contribute to compliance
