Summary of review and consultation process

 

In 2010 the Ministry of Education, in association with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and subject working groups, began to develop achievement standards derived from outcomes in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA).  This development also addressed duplication of outcomes, credit parity, fairness, consistency and coherence.  The development was guided by the direction of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the Standards Review Guidelines.  A copy of TMoA is available at: http://tmoa.tki.org.nz/Nga-Marautanga-o-Aotearoa/Te-Marautanga-o-Aotearoa.

 

Draft achievement standards were developed with the involvement of teacher subject working groups.  The draft achievement standards were the focus of wide consultation, especially with kaiako (teachers) in wharekura (secondary programmes in Māori-medium schools). Resources were also developed to support these standards.

 

The English-language Health and Physical Education learning area achievement standards listed above were revised to show that they also align with outcomes in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         All TMoA Level 7 (NZQF Level 2) Hauora outcomes are now assessed using achievement standards.

·         Grading criteria for achievement standards were reviewed in accordance with the Standards Review Guidelines.

·         Five new standards were created for Hauora that align to TMoA outcomes.

·         NZC-derived English-language achievement standards relating to the Health and Physical Education learning area that were identified as meeting the outcomes in TMoA amended to show that they also derive from TMoA Whāinga Paetae, and their review date was changed to December 2020.

·         All the Level 2 Hauora achievement standards contribute to NCEA literacy requirements.

Development of Hauora – Wāhanga Ako Level 2 Achievement Standards

 

Process of aligning standards with Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA)

The process of aligning achievement standards with Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA) was informed by a series of audits across all learning areas conducted by Māori-medium subject specialists. These audits assessed the extent to which the existing achievement standards met the whāinga paetae (achievement objectives) within the Hauora learning area of TMoA.

 

The audit of the current standards against the Hauora learning area of TMoA found that while some current standards aligned or partially aligned, new standards were required to reflect the unique aspects of the TMoA whāinga paetae, especially in the areas of Waiora, Taiao and Tangata. The whāinga paetae within the Koiri strand were already reflected within the NZC Physical Education standards.

 

A panel of subject specialists working in wharekura was convened by the Ministry of Education to develop the new achievement standards. They developed five Hauora-specific achievement standards at Level 2 (AS91790 2.1–AS91974 2.5) to align with the whāinga paetae within the Level 7 Waiora (Personal Health and Development), Taiao (Health and the Environment) and Tangata (People and Relationships) strands of the Hauora learning area of TMoA.

 

The English-medium Health and Physical Education Learning Area achievement standards that align with Te Marautanga o Aotearoa whāinga paetae have been revised to indicate this relationship. In addition, as noted in the Level 1 Hauora – Wāhanga Ako change report, new reo Māori assessment tasks will be developed for the English-medium standards that are directly applicable to Māori-medium settings, in particular the NZC Physical Education standards.

 

Conditions of Assessment have been developed to assist in the interpretation of achievement standards and the development of teaching and learning programmes.

 

Addressing duplication

To avoid duplication the achievement standards were compared in detail with the General Education – Oranga unit standards; the English-medium standards for Physical Education, Health and Home Economics; and the new achievement standards under development for Hangarau, Pūtaiao and Tikanga ā-Iwi.

 

While Hauora 2.1 Te whakaahua i tētahi āhuatanga matatika me te pānga ki te hunga taiohi has some similarities to Level 3 Health 3.4 AS91464, Analyse a contemporary ethical issue in relation to well-being, Hauora 2.1 is a youth-specific standard, whereas the Level 3 Health standard explores the issues at a macro level.

 

Addressing credit parity

The credits allocated to the standards reflect the time required for the teaching and learning involved.

 

External and internal assessment

The mode of assessment for each standard best reflects the teaching and learning involved for each standard.

 

What has changed (summary)?

 

A new set of five achievement standards at Level 2 (Hauora 2.1–2.5, AS91790–AS91974), derived from outcomes in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, is now available for the assessment of aspects of Hauora programmes in Māori-medium settings.

 

The standards can be broadly grouped into four areas: Te Whare o Rongo (2.1), Te Haumarutanga (2.2), Te Taiao (2.3) and Te Whanaungatanga (2.4 & 2.5).

 

Hauora 2.1 Te whakaahua i tētahi āhuatanga matatika me te pānga ki te hunga taiohi requires ākonga to provide evidence of their understanding of an ethical issue through describing the issue and its impact on young people.

 

Hauora 2.2 Te whakaatu māramatanga ki ngā kai taketake me te pānga ki te oranga tangata requires ākonga to demonstrate understanding of traditional food and its impact on people’s wellbeing.

 

Hauora 2.3 Te arotake i tētahi kaupapa tiaki taiao i runga i te tirohanga Māori requires ākonga to provide evidence of an analysis of an environmental project from a Māori viewpoint.

 

Hauora 2.4 Te whakaatu māramatanga ki te pānga o te whakawhanaungatanga ki te oranga tangata requires ākonga to demonstrate their understanding of the impact of whakawhanaungatanga (people and relationships) on people’s wellbeing.

 

Hauora 2.5 Te tātari i te pānga o ngā uara o te porihanga ki te oranga tangata requires ākonga to provide evidence of their analysis of the impact of societal values on people’s wellbeing.
