Spectrum TrainingContact UsPO Box 2107 Strathpine Centre QLD 4500 / P. 07 3881 3310 / [email protected] project trialed the collection of audio for assessment purposes.
We investigated ways and methods for collecting audio evidence from students bringing their own devices such as mobile phones and organisation provided devices such as digital voice recorders.5THE UNITS WE CHOSE ALLOW FOR ORAL ASSESSMENT5
Spectrum TrainingContact UsPO Box 2107 Strathpine Centre QLD 4500 / P. 07 3881 3310 / [email protected] the project was based around collecting evidence for assessment we decided to use two units from CHC40*** Certificate IV in Mental Health and three units from 30888QLD Certificate IV in Mentoring Diverse Groups.
The units we chose allow for oral assessment and the instruments that we used were audio recording devices.
The project delivered units to three cohorts eighteen learners in total. The learners were a mix of rural, remote and metropolitan Indigenous learners along with metropolitan non-Indigenous learners.6WHY AUDIO?6
Spectrum TrainingContact UsPO Box 2107 Strathpine Centre QLD 4500 / P. 07 3881 3310 / [email protected] evidence through conversation and observation is a common method to collect evidence but there is often still some writing involved; particularly with students with lower levels of literacy and numeracy. Currently written evidence of assessment is assessor centered and makes it easier to assess
What we have tried to do in this project is to reverse this and make it more engaging and less onerous and intimidating for the students7LEARNER CENTERED7
Spectrum TrainingContact UsPO Box 2107 Strathpine Centre QLD 4500 / P. 07 3881 3310 / [email protected] using an audio device to gather evidence for assessment are centered on the learner and requires the assessor to really listen and learn what their learners are expressing and articulating in their responses to assessment questions.
We felt that that with the assessor observing the student when undertaking assessments, it is direct observation and this is what we were able to achieve throughout our workshops we would consider this as primary source of evidence 8INDIGENOUS LEARNERS FROM REMOTE AREAS8
