<strong>Evaluation</strong> Checklist with a uni<strong>for</strong>m scale<br />

There is a difference between checklists that focus on different aspects (such as a single element of<br />

the competency, a specific skill, a technique or a theoretical aspect) <strong>and</strong> evaluation checklists that<br />

measure the overall acquisition of a competency. Both types of checklists are used to support learning<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> certification purposes.<br />

In evaluation to support learning, guidelines identifying the minimum per<strong>for</strong>mance st<strong>and</strong>ard can help<br />

students measure their progress in the development of the competency. The minimum per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard is determined by the teacher, who specifies the limits, answers or criteria on which the<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance is to be judged satisfactory or acceptable. A scale can help assess the progress made<br />

with respect to the expected per<strong>for</strong>mance level.<br />

For the purposes of certification, guidelines should focus on aspects related to the evaluation criteria<br />

listed in the specifications.<br />

A checklist with a uni<strong>for</strong>m scale can be used jointly by the teacher, the student <strong>and</strong> peers. The student<br />

can use the scale to give his or her peers feedback on behaviours observed during the activity. Two<br />

types of checklists are presented. The first is <strong>for</strong> the behavioural competency “Prune shrubs <strong>and</strong><br />

conifers.” The other is <strong>for</strong> a situational competency “Communicate in the workplace.” Both are<br />

accompanied by a uni<strong>for</strong>m scale.<br />
