Summary

 

These unit standards have been reviewed as a part of the Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) review cycle.  Stakeholders were informed of the intention to review and feedback regarding the standards and the impending review was requested.  MQS received feedback from the National Moderator, but very minimal feedback from providers.  The lower level Māori Performing Arts unit standards are currently being used widely within Secondary Schools and Tertiary Education Organisations (TEOs).  However, these particular higher level unit standards currently have had minimal use.  The Whakaruruhau has begun work on developing new standards and a qualification at Level 5 to encourage students to follow a qualification pathway to the higher levels.  It is hoped that this will increase the usage of the higher level Māori Performing Arts unit standards.

 

Main changes

 

·         Entry information has been amended in the Māori Performing Arts Creation unit standards.  Level 5 and 6 Reo Māori standards are now the recommended entry requirement for the Level 6 and 7 standards respectively.

·         Changes have been made to the explanatory notes in all of the unit standards, including verification statements and definitions.

·         Evidence requirements have been added in the Māori Performing Arts Creation unit standards, to ensure the history and tikanga of compositions are explained.

·         Evidence requirements have been added and amended in the Māori Performing Arts Teaching unit standards to improve assessability, and for consistency of style across standards in the Māori Performing Arts subfield.

·         The level of the Māori Performing Arts Creation unit standards have been reduced from Level 8 to Level 7.
