NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published June 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary of review and consultation process
The review was carried out as part of the NQS planned review programme.
A review panel of assessors, moderators, and representatives from accredited Māori Education Providers, Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs), Private Training Enterprises (PTEs), and Government Training Enterprises (GTEs) encompassing both education and workplace training was asked to consider:
· the currency of the unit standards and their suitability for existing and future qualifications;
· the appropriateness of unit standards to their domain;
· the accuracy and appropriateness of their content;
· whether levels and credits were commensurate with performance outcomes and training needs; and
· any gaps in skills and/or knowledge that could be captured by the development of new unit standards or by the expansion of existing unit standards.
Drafts of the reviewed unit standards were sent out for wider consultation to stakeholders that had expressed an interest in being part of the consultation process. Stakeholder feedback endorsed the changes recommended by the panel.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Two new unit standards in the Assessment of Learning domain have been developed to provide more options for people wanting to specialise in assessment and/or moderation.
· Unit standards 12619-12623 in the Distance Education Supervision domain have been designated expiring and will not be replaced. There is no demonstrated need for them as they have had very little use since first registered in 1997.
· The Distance Education Supervision domain has been designated expiring (lapsing).
· Credit values of unit standards 7094, 7095, 7097-7099, 7103-7105, 7113, 7115, 11551, 11552, and 20470 have increased to more accurately reflect the time taken for achievement. Previous credit values were considered inadequate for the time required to achieve.
· Levels of unit standards 11551 and 21982 have increased from 5 to 6 and from 4 to 5 respectively in order to reflect the complexity of the skills required.
· Special notes, including range statements, have been amended as appropriate to clarify specific terms and concepts, contexts, and conditions for assessment.
· Titles, elements, performance criteria, and range statements under elements and performance criteria have been amended to more accurately reflect intent.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2011.
