Summary

 

In 2007 National Qualifications Services began a review of unit standards at Levels 1-3 in the Film and Television Foundation Skills and Film and Television Camera domains.  During the quality assurance process, it was agreed that as the unit standards were primarily being assessed within secondary schools, the review should be discontinued until the review of assessment standards aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum 2007 was completed.  This would provide a clearer picture of any issues of duplication between these unit standards and standards in domains such as Media Studies or Digital Technologies.  With the completion of the alignment of standards project in 2013, this review was recommenced.

 

All but two of the reviewed unit standards were designated as expiring as they either have recommended replacements available or have had few results reported against them.  The remaining two unit standards had reasonable results reported against them, including results from tertiary providers.  These unit standards were reclassified as there will be insufficient unit standards remaining to maintain the Film and Television classification.  The Performing Arts Technology domain appeared the appropriate new classification, as the two reclassified unit standards relate to using technology in a performing arts context.  Furthermore, as the Performing Arts Technology domain is the responsibility of NZQA National Qualifications Services, this will allow efficient on-going maintenance of the unit standards.

 

A range of recommended replacement standards was identified within the Media Studies and Digital Technologies domains that could be used to assess similar outcomes to the expiring unit standards.  These are identified in Appendix 1.

 

National Qualifications Services undertook national consultation via the NZQA website, with communication about the consultation sent to the sector via email networks and posted on the Ministry of Education Arts Online forum.  A total of three consultation responses were received from individuals.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standards 10197 and 10353 were reviewed and reclassified into the Performing Arts Technology domain.

·      Titles of both unit standards were amended to update the term ‘video’ with the term ‘moving image’.

·      Outcomes and evidence requirements in both unit standards were amended to align with the titles and meet current listing requirements.

·      Explanatory notes were updated to include definitions, quality of equipment required for assessment purposes, health and safety recommendations and legislation.

·      Recommended entry requirements were added to unit standards 10197 and 10353.

·      All other unit standards in this review were designated expiring.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of standards 10197 and 10353 is 31 December 2015, for the immediately previous versions, or 31 December 2014 for all earlier versions.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of superseded versions of the standards.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2016

 

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)

 

CMR 0001 will lapse at the end of December 2016.  The reviewed unit standards have been transferred to CMR 0226.
