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 practising Māori-medium kaiako within subject-area working groups. The draft 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 the standards.

 

There are no unit standards for Te Reo Rangatira.

 

Main changes resulting from review

 

·         All TMoA Level 8 (NZQF Level 3) outcomes are now assessed using achievement standards.

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

·         One of the eight existing Te Reo Rangatira standards was replaced with a new standard (C category) and the remainder were designated expiring and will not be replaced (D category).

·         Nine new standards were created at Level 3 for Te Reo Rangatira that align to TMoA outcomes.

·         The Te Reo Rangatira domain in the Reo Māori subfield was designated expiring.  The new standards are classified in the new Te Reo Rangatira domain in the new Te Marautanga o Aotearoa subfield.

 

For a detailed description of the review and the development of the Te Reo Rangatira standards see the Appendix at the end of this report.

Development of Te Reo Rangatira Level 3 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. After determining the extent to which the existing achievement standards met the whāinga paetae (achievement objectives) within the Te Reo Māori learning area of TMoA, new achievement standards were developed for this area.

 

Subject specialists working in wharekura were contracted by the Ministry of Education to develop the new set of standards. The nine new Te Reo Rangatira Level 3 achievement standards (AS91803–AS91810) build on the new Level 1 and 2 standards that were registered in December 2013 and December 2014.

 

The new Level 3 Te Reo Rangatira achievement standards have been developed to align with the whāinga paetae within the Level 8 ā-Waha (Oral), ā- (Written) and ā-Tinana (Paralinguistic) strands of the Te Reo Māori learning area of TMoA.

 

Supporting documents have been developed to assist in the interpretation of achievement standards and the development of teaching and learning programmes:

·         Conditions of Assessment

·         Assessment Specifications.

 

Addressing duplication

 

The new achievement standards were compared in detail with existing standards (including the Te Reo Māori standards) to ensure that there was no duplication with the existing standards.  Te Reo Rangatira 3.7, Ohia ki te kōrero mō te kaupapa pupū noa (90788) has been replaced by Te Reo Rangatira 3.1, Te tātari i te kōrero ohorere hei whakaputa i te kōrero tene (91803).  The two standards are therefore mutually exclusive.

 

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)?

 

At Level 3 the nine new achievement standards (AS91803–AS91810, 3.9) cover the Level 8 ā-Waha (Oral), ā- (Written) and ā-Tinana (Paralinguistic) strands across:

·         language fields (mōteatea, karakia, whakataukī etc.)

·         language structure and conventions (grammar, stylistic conventions etc.).

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.1 Te tātari i te kōrero ohorere hei whakaputa i te kōrero tene (AS91803) requires students to provide evidence of their analysis of an unfamiliar text in order to produce a spontaneous speech.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.2 Te tātari i te ahunga o te reo (AS91804) is an externally assessed standard that requires students to provide evidence of their analysis of the development of te reo Māori and make some predictions on its future direction.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.3 Te whakatairite i ngā putanga pūrākau (AS91805) requires students to provide evidence of a comparison between different versions of a traditional story.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.4 Te tūhura i ngā tuhinga raupeka (AS91806) is an externally assessed standard that requires students to provide evidence of their investigation of complex written material.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.5 Te whakarite i te whaikōrero rangatira (AS91807) requires students to provide evidence of preparing and delivering a formal speech.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.6 Te whakaoti tuhinga (AS91808) is an externally assessed standard that requires students to provide evidence of a completed piece of writing.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.7 Te tito i te upoko pukapuka (AS91809) requires students to provide evidence of their ability in creative writing through the composition of a chapter of a book.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.8 Te tūhura i te reo takitaki (AS91810) requires students to provide evidence of their investigation into recitative language, such as that found in karakia, tauparapara and whakapapa.

 

Te Reo Rangatira 3.9 Te whakarite i te rautaki whakawhanake reo (AS91817) requires students to provide evidence of having prepared a language development strategy.
