NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standard listed above.
Date new versions published November 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
This review only deals with the one level 1 standard in the Performing Arts Technology domain. Unit standards at Levels 2 and 3 will be reviewed in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
The review and development of a suite of Performing Arts Technology unit standards was discussed and agreed by the NZQA/Ministry of Education joint Overview Working Group overseeing the review and alignment of standards with the New Zealand Curriculum 2007.
The group envisaged that these unit standards would provide flexibility for assessment programmes for Senior Secondary students in performing arts disciplines and would also be accessible to a number of other user groups, including tertiary students and the performing arts sector. As the outcomes of these standards were not derived from the New Zealand Curriculum 2007 the standards were developed as unit standards.
In December 2008, a review panel comprising representatives from Toi Whakaari, Entertainment Technology New Zealand, Tai Poutini Polytechnic (MAINZ), Māori Performing Arts Whakaruruhau, Pacific Institute of Performing Arts (BEST Training), Drama New Zealand, Dance Aotearoa New Zealand (DANZ), Music Education New Zealand Aotearoa (MENZA), along with NZQA and the Ministry of Education, met to develop a matrix of unit standards for Performing Arts Technology at Levels 1-3.
The panel also considered the inclusion of merit and excellence grades in the standards and identified outcomes that could meaningfully allow for a differentiation of performance within the standard. Draft standards were developed and then further refined at a meeting in July 2009. The development was then deferred while the review of the criteria for registration of unit standards was completed by NZQA.
The project resumed in June 2010 with a workshop to develop assessment support material for the standards containing merit and excellence grades. Final drafts of the standards were published on the NZQA website for national consultation through July 2010.
