A2010/019 - 21 Sep 2010

The mode of assessment for all external NCEA and Scholarship Technology standards is a submitted portfolio.  The assessment specifications define a portfolio.

It is expected that Technology teachers are familiar with the information, including the Assessment Specifications, on the Technology subject page.

Information for the preparation and submission of Technology portfolios is available on the Technology subject page, including the Technology Authenticity form that must be submitted with each portfolio.

The submission date for portfolios is Wednesday, 3 November 2010. Candidate submissions must be ready for collection by 10am on this day.

Scholarship Entries

Candidates who have entered the level 3 external achievement standards and Scholarship Technology should submit one portfolio only, for both assessments. This portfolio should contain evidence for the level 3 external achievement standards and evidence for the Scholarship standard.

A candidate who has entered Scholarship only, should submit their portfolio with appropriate evidence as set out in the Assessment Specifications. The material will be assessed against the Scholarship standard only.
