The Ministry of Education has reviewed the achievement standards listed above.
New Registration date November 2018
Date new versions published November 2018
Planned review date December 2019
Summary of review and consultation process
New achievement standards were developed in response to the introduction of the new Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko curriculum. The standards were released for consultation in October 2017 and feedback gathered via an online form. They were subsequently trialled in Terms 2 and 3 of 2018 and the resulting feedback used to refine the final drafts.
It should be noted that while the standards have been listed under the Digital Technologies domain on the Directory of Assessment standards, the standards relate to both the Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko subject learning areas.
Main changes resulting from the review
· 20 new achievement standards were developed in dual subject areas (Digital Technologies, and Hangarau Matihiko) to replace the existing 19 Digital Technologies standards at NCEA levels 2 and 3.

Development of dual learning area achievement standards in Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko - Level 2 and 3
Process of aligning standards with Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA)
The standards were developed by expert writers and practitioners who have deep knowledge of both the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) and TMoA. The standards were developed from first principles and no re-alignment was required.
Addressing credit parity
The standards were developed by expert practitioners who understand the work required to demonstrate the learning for each standard and are familiar with expectations for other domains. The credit allocation was made in alignment with this.
What has changed (summary)
These new achievement standards replace the existing Digital Technologies achievement standards.
The standards were developed in this way because of significant sector and expert feedback that the prior composition of the Digital Technologies achievement standards did not best credential the important learning derived from the new Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko curriculum content. This militated in favour of a reconfiguration of the standards. This was also required to ensure that the achievement standards were fit for purpose for use in Māori medium environments, which was better supported by standards which were usable across the traditional sub-areas of Digital Technologies (such as programming and electronics).
Transition
During the transition, it is strongly advised that teachers base programmes using either the new Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko Achievement Standards or the Digital Technologies Achievement Standards that are being replaced rather than a combination of the two sets.
