1. Introduction and Commentary

The learner work that follows has been assessed accurately to national standards. This is one example of Merit achievement.

The assignment brief covers Learning Aims A and B. The

Assignment Brief

There are no authorised assignment briefs available as yet and the one used here has been individually produced by the centre to fit local needs, by way of encouraging the learner to develop materials for a Life Skills Day; a very relevant topic today. When writing Assignment Briefs to be used for the assessment of the BTEC Entry 3 Entry to Vocational Study suite of units, the Assessor should ensure that all tasks clearly meet the targeted assessment criteria.

The structure of the tasks will always target an entire learning aim(s). This is a fundamental cornerstone of this suite, as it enables any learner to achieve the best grade for them.

The assessment criteria are not a set of sequential activities but a way of making a judgement. For example, if a Pass specifies a ‘description’ and a Merit an ‘analysis’, these do not require two different activities but rather one activity through which some learners will provide only description evidence and others will also provide analysis evidence.

A Learning Aim must NOT be broken down into discrete tasks. It is not acceptable to have tasks or sub-tasks that target, for example, a Pass criterion only. All tasks must encourage the learner to challenge themselves and aim for the highest level of personal achievement.

In this instance the Assignment Brief contains one task for both Learning Aim A and Learning Aim B. The Assignment Brief presented is fit for purpose.

The overarching task for Learning Aim A is the provision of examples of how the learner has used online technology in their everyday life. For Learning Aim B it is about how they have managed associated risks. The mode of presentation is noted as possibly a table but is really quite open-ended. This is appropriate as it will allow the learner to choose the way to present the information whilst then demonstrating their own experience. There is sufficient scope for learners at all levels to achieve.


2. The Learner Work

Always use the Essential information for assessment decisions section in the specification for clarification on when an assessment criterion can be awarded. This provides amplification to the grading criteria. Reference to this assessment guidance will ensure that the assessment of the evidence that the learner has produced fully meets the quantitative and qualitative requirements of the criterion. When assessing the learner’s work it is important that the assessor looks for where the learner has produced evidence of a quality that is appropriate to the command verb in the assessment criteria.

For Learning Aim A the learner has to Develop online technology skills.

The learner has achieved A.M1 by producing materials that show how she has used online tools she has used. The Merit criterion requires the learner to Develop simple skills for using online technology, recognising some risks.

The learner has met this in the table. Several tools are used and at the end of each an associated risk is noted.

For Learning Aim B the learner has to Use online technology safely.

The learner has met B.M2 in the table of work, following up on each risk identified with a strategy of how to stay safe including an account of why she did this. The Merit criterion requires the learner to Use simple strategies for staying safe online, outlining the purpose of the strategies.

The learner has produced a poster about staying safe which gives some very good advice for the day but is a guide rather than personal reflection. Whilst it is a good piece of work it does not in itself address the criteria.

The assessor has made suitable comments to validate the award of the Merit and has fed back well to the learner.
