CRITERIA FINDINGS AND CHALLENGES SUBJECTS IMPLICATED Internal moderation Content coverage and cognitive skills The internal moderation reports were inferior in quality and did not provide useful qualitative information to assist the external moderator; internal moderator reports were incomplete. Vague or oneword answers and short phrases were the norm. (One internal moderator report is prepared to cover all three examinations thus the April, August and November examinations.) In the subjects for which replacement papers were set/ revised for the November examination, no updated reports were received. Some reports were broad and, although informative, were not specific to any issues which may have been dealt with internally between the moderator and examiner. The many errors and/or missing or incomplete information observed in question papers and marking guidelines was a clear indication of inadequate internal moderation. Further evidence of this was the verbatim repetition of questions from recent examination papers. The question papers in all subjects covered the prescribed content and included questions of varying cognitive demand. The external moderators all used an assessment framework to ensure that there was a fair spread across the levels of cognitive demand and topics. The weighting of two papers was incorrect. (Note: weighting is not specified in most of the subjects.) All questions were within the scope of the syllabus; different types of questions were included; and the mark allocation was appropriate to anticipated answers and time allowed, but The format of some question papers required adjustment. In two papers, moderators found that drawings either had to be re-drawn or alternative drawings had to be provided. In most cases, the type of questions set complied with the expectations and latest developments in the subject, but creativity in questioning techniques was lacking: All subjects moderated Engineering Science Building Drawing Plating and Structural Steel Drawing Electro-Technology Electrical Trade Theory Engineering Science Mathematics Engineering Science Mathematics Electro-Technology Electrical Trade Theory Outdated curricula in some subjects led to difficulties in assessment.

CRITERIA FINDINGS AND CHALLENGES SUBJECTS IMPLICATED Marking guidelines Alignment of question paper and marking guidelines Some papers did not allow for creative responses from students. The mark allocation in the question papers and marking guidelines corresponded; the answers were mostly complete and correct. However: No provision was made for alternative responses (where applicable) to some of the questions. The mark allocation within the subsections of questions was not indicated in some of the moderated subjects. Answers to certain questions provided in the marking guidelines were not clear or were incorrect. Engineering Science Industrial Electronics Electrical Trade Theory Mathematics Electro-Technology Engineering Drawing Mathematics Plating and Structural Steel Drawing Engineering Science Fitting and Machining Industrial Electronics Mathematics Plating and Structural Steel Drawing Language and bias Subject terminology/data was used correctly in 93% of sampled papers. This was not used correctly in one paper. The language of the sampled question papers was set at the right level, except for one paper. Gender, race and cultural bias were not evident in these question papers. Some questions were judged to be ambiguous. Adherence to policy The weighting of topics and cognitive demand was not prescribed in some of the subjects, which left decisions on spread and demand to the discretion of the examining panels. Mathematics Mathematics Building Drawing Electro-Technology Plater’s Theory All the papers conformed to current syllabi. 154
