Report of the Joint Working party in the Assessment for the Certificate in Education - This was a joint working party of the Academic Board, Committee of Principals, and Board of Educational Studies. It was established to consider issues connected with the award of the Certificate of Education and its relationship to the BEd Part 1 and how far there should be separate criteria for the two awards; review the present grading system; decide on whether uniform scales of marking should be adopted; and to discuss certain aspects of the Regulations with reference to failure and coursework.
Also includes papers of the Working Party on the disclosure of examination results (a note of the file stated these papers were retained with those of the Advisory Committee). The Working Party was established by the Academic Board (2 March 1971) to consider whether any change should be made in the instructions to examiners which do not permit the disclosure of failure in any part of the Certificate in Education Examination before the final results are issued. however the papers comprise reports, correspondence and analyses of examinations in general and particularly the comparability of standards between the colleges on examinations for the BEd. |
