This is a contracted paid position. The Internal Assessment Resources (IAR) Project at NZQA is seeking triallists for assessment resources for some standards that were not within scope in an effort to provide a suite of exemplars for all Technology Level 1 standards.

Trialling involves testing an assessment resource with students or using any collected student work to demonstrate achievement against the grade boundaries of the standard.

If you are interested in being a triallist, please contact Lynne Gill, Project Manager, Secondary Moderation, NZQA.

The IAR Project is tasked with providing student exemplars for those standards which have been identified by the Ministry as new or significantly changed. These exemplars, and associated assessment resources, may be found by accessing the NZQA subject pages.

Exemplars for new Level 2 standards within the scope of the project will be available on the NZQA site in early December and Exemplars for Level 3 available in December 2012.

The standards for which we are currently seeking triallists are:

Level 1 - Electronics

91077: Demonstrate understanding of basic concepts used in the design and construction of electronic environments

91078: Implement basic interfacing procedures in a specified electronic environment

91079: Implement basic techniques in constructing a specified electronic and embedded system

Level 1 - Construction and Materials Technology

91061: Demonstrate understanding of basic concepts related to structures

91062: Demonstrate understanding of basic concepts related to machines

Level 3 - Design and Visual Communications (Graphics)
