Summary

 

The unit standards listed above have been reviewed as part of the MQS planned review cycle, to ensure that the standards continue to meet industry requirements, and to ensure they are clear, logical and fit for purpose.

 

As part of the review it was proposed that the standards be re-written to include merit and excellence criteria.  After discussion amongst the Māori Performing Arts Whakaruruhau, other stakeholders were consulted during the recent round of MQS Kaiako workshops and their support for the inclusion of merit and excellence grades was sought.  Whakaruruhau were supportive, and kaiako and providers that were consulted were also supportive.

 

In October 2010, the draft standards, with merit and excellence grades, and a new haka wahine standard were published on the NZQA website consultation page and a number of responses were received.  All were supportive of the move to include merit and excellence grades in the standards.  Assessment support materials were updated and will be available to assist providers assess against the graded standards.

 

Main changes

 

·      Criteria for merit and excellence were added to the standards.

·      Minor formatting edits were made.

·      Amendments and additions to explanatory notes (including definitions that support the introduction of the grades in the standards) were included.

·      Rewording was carried out to clarify evidence requirements and range statements to improve assessability and consistency of assessment.

·      Standards 13359 and 13360 were updated to reflect the change in terminology from 'waiata' to 'mōteatea'.

·      A new Level 2 haka wahine standard was developed.
