Summary

 

This review only deals with level 2 standards from domain Performing Arts Technology.  Unit standards at level 1 were reviewed in 2010 and standards at level 3 will be reviewed in 2012.  The review and development of a suite of Performing Arts Technology 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 standards would provide flexibility for assessment within programmes for Senior Secondary students in performing arts disciplines and should also be accessible to a number of user groups, including tertiary students and the performing arts sector.

 

In December 2008 a review panel containing 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 standards.  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.

 

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 October/November 2011.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standard 12823 was designated expiring.  Providers may consider Unit 26687, Demonstrate and apply knowledge of sound technology for a performance context, as an alternative.

·      Six new unit standards were developed, with grades for merit and excellence.

 

The category D unit standard will expire at the end of December 2014
