Summary of review and consultation process

 

This review was a part of a planned review cycle.  Feedback was received from the secondary sector and from the moderation and examination systems.  National consultation on the standards has resulted in the following changes.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

AS90001

The introductory statement, achievement criteria, and Explanatory Note (EN) 6 have been reworded to emphasise the outcome represented in the title.

 

AS90002

Some minor adjustments have been made to the ENs to clarify evidence requirements.

 

AS90003

Clarification for the assessment focus has been provided by adding to the introductory statement that the achievement standard involves performing 'with ensemble awareness'.  ENs 4 and 5 have been amended slightly for consistency with other Dance achievement standards.

 

AS90004

EN 4 has been amended to clarify the intention that the dance viewed for interpretation and response has been 'previously viewed and studied' by the student.  Definitions for 'describe in detail' and 'describe comprehensively' have been added in the ENs, in order to differentiate requirements for achievement with merit and achievement with excellence.  Some other minor adjustments have been made to ENs 2 and 3.

 

AS90005

Definitions for 'describe in detail' and 'describe comprehensively' have been added in the ENs, in order to differentiate requirements for achievement with merit and achievement with excellence.  EN 5 has been reworded slightly for consistency with the other ENs.
