The Ministry of Education and the Secondary
Assessment and Liaison business unit of NZQA have developed the achievement
standards listed above.
Registration date
November 2007
Planned review date
February 2009
Summary of development and consultation
process
This
development was part of the planned introduction of Mathematics achievement
standards in association with the Computer Algebraic Systems (CAS) Pilot
Project. This project is
investigating new ways of teaching mathematics and has implications for
assessment of student achievement in mathematics. The development was informed by
consultation and subsequent feedback from secondary schools, advisers,
moderators and examiners.
During
2006 the Ministry of Education developed Level 1 CAS Mathematics achievement
standards that permitted the use of this new technology. The development of the Level 2
achievement standards provides an ongoing pathway for students who use the
technology. They are available for
use from 2008 onwards.
Results of development
Consultation has resulted in the development
of four new achievement standards, three of which permit candidates to use CAS
technology. In AS90809, CAS
Mathematics 2.4, no electronic technology may be used. The use of CAS technology is currently
not permitted in the other externally assessed Mathematics achievement standards
at this level.
Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan
(AMAP)
These achievement standards will be added to
AMAP 0226.
Impact of changes on NCEA Exclusions
List
AS90806 will be mutually exclusive with
AS90284, AS90285, AS90290, and AS90292.
