5 Objectives 1. To explain the underlying principle and mechanism of standards-referenced reporting in HKDSE 2. To describe the paper format and question types of HKDSE HMSC 3. To illustrate the level descriptors of HKDSE HMSC with exemplars 4. To give a brief overview of the public examination and school-based assessment requirements of HMSC 5

6 Standards-referenced Reporting Aligned with international practices Standards are explicit - level descriptors together with samples of performance can illustrate the standards Standards are held constant - better able to monitor changes in performance against standards over time Improving the current reporting system - more informative to end users 6

7 Setting the Standards (1) Based on their examination performance and moderated SBA results (if applicable), candidates are awarded a total score for the subject Determine what are the minimum scores that a candidate must obtain in order to meet various standards (i.e., Levels 1-5) Cut scores determined by a panel of judges consisting of subject experts and experienced markers and teachers Statistics and samples of performance provided for reference 7

8 Setting the Standards (2) 8

9 Setting the Standards (3) Five levels of performance: 5 (highest) to 1 (threshold) + unclassified 5** (best performance) and 5* (next best group) Standards at levels 5 and 4 are set with reference to grades A-D of the current HKALE 9

10 Maintaining Standards Secure monitoring tests conducted annually Equating of successive examinations Initial cut scores established empirically Panel of judges to fine-tune cut scores with reference to real performance samples Ensure that standards are held constant and that there is no grade inflation over time 10

11 Level Descriptors Reference to the learning outcomes and assessment objectives to ensure alignment between curriculum and assessment Describe typical performance at each level Represent on-average statements and may not apply precisely to individuals Describe what candidates can do, not what they cannot do 11

12 Level Descriptors - Rationale Learning outcomes Curriculum design Assessment Assessment objectives Pedagogies L & T strategies Dimensions covered: Knowledge and understanding Application of knowledge Higher order thinking skills Communication skills Abilities in designing & conducting investigation 12
