NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2013
Planned review date December 2017
Summary
This review deals with Level 3 standards from the Drama Performance and Performing Arts Technology domains. Performance Arts Technology standards at Levels 1 and 2 were reviewed in 2010 and 2011 respectively. 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.
As a result of the review, seven new standards were developed. The Overview Working Group envisaged that these standards would provide flexibility for assessment 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 Association of New Zealand (DANZ), Music Educators 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 allow for a meaningful 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.
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 Level 3 standards were distributed for consultation through November 2012.
