 one public exam
 emphasize high order thinking and application of
knowledge
 school-based assessment (SBA)
 standards-referenced reporting (SRR)
24
Reporting: Standards-referenced
 Standards-referenced reporting
 based on level descriptors
 candidates’ results indicate the standards achieved in
terms of knowledge and skills
 independent of the performance of other candidates
 enable stakeholders know exactly what the candidates
know and can do
25
Standards Referenced Reporting
 Student performance
to be reported with
reference to five
defined levels:

Implementation of
School-Based Assessment
 SBA is not an “add-on” element in the curriculum and should be
integrated into learning and teaching.
 SBA can assess skills/outcomes not included in public


examinations, such as enquiry skills, laboratory skills and
creativity in design.
SBA will firstly be commenced in 8 subjects and 4 science
subjects (laboratory work only) in 2012 and progressively be
implemented in other subjects.
HKEAA is now conducting a consultation on the SBA
streamlining proposals and the final arrangements will be made
known to schools by the end of February after endorsement by
the Public Examination Board (PEB).
29
Moderation of SBA
 Schools are required to submit marks in S5 and S6 and
HKEAA will moderate SBA marks, after schools submit S6
marks in early 2012.
 Moderation is to ensure the consistency of assessment
standards across subjects. Two methods will be adopted:
- Statistical moderation with an element of expert
judgment
- Expert judgment with an element of statistical
adjustment
 Moderation is conducted on school basis but not classbased/teacher-based and therefore, within-school
standardization of teachers’ marking standard is also
necessary
