8 Students apply learning through practical assessments BTEC Nationals use a combination of assessment styles to give your students confidence they can apply their knowledge to succeed in the workplace and have the study skills to continue learning on higher education courses. This range of vocational assessments both practical and written mean students can showcase their learning and achievements to best effect when they take their next step, whether that s supporting applications to higher education courses or potential employers. BTEC Nationals use two types of assessment: Assignments Tasks See page 15 See page 16 Assignments The same teaching and assessment style you know and love In units assessed by assignments, your programme team creates an assignment brief for students to carry out set tasks and create evidence to work-related scenarios. Assignments can include research, projects, investigations, fieldwork, and experiments, and often link theory with practical exercises. All internal assessment is quality assured through a combination of internal verification (carried out by you in your centre) and external verification (sampling) which we carry out annually to ensure all centres are assessing consistently to the national standard. Authorised assignment briefs Pre-approved assignments so you don't need to worry Assignments Set and marked by: Centre (school, college or training provider) Verified by: Pearson What s involved Students complete a series of tasks set in a work-related scenario which you can tailor to local industry needs.

Summer Project The Boyfriend Assignment title Assessor Issue date Hand in deadline What s the result? Your students generate authentic evidence, drawing on their knowledge and skills to complete a practical project over a period of time, working either individually or in a team. Your performance company is planning its summer season. Readyto-use assignment briefs Vocational Scenario or Context Task 1 The centrepiece of the season is to be a family friendly musical, and the company director has chosen Sandy Wilson s The Boyfriend, a musical comedy set in the south of France during The Roaring Twenties. The musical will be performed to audiences in the company s studio theatre with a full set, costumes and a live band. You will be a key member of the cast and will work with the creative team and other performers during initial development work, rehearsals and live performances. Throughout the development, rehearsal and performance you will keep a log/blog in which you will reflect on the development of your role, set targets, monitor and review your performance. Developing the work In preparation for the rehearsal period you should attend a pre-production meeting at which the director will present their brief for the performance. During the meeting you will participate in discussions in response to the brief. You will discuss Mapped directly to the delivery guides 14 BTEC Nationals in Performing Arts BTEC Nationals in Performing Arts 15

9 Tasks Students demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a real-life scenario they are likely to encounter in the workplace. You decide when in a given window the assessments take place, helping to ensure they take place at the most convenient time. Set and marked by: Pearson Tasks What's involved? Tasks require students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a real-life scenario they are likely to encounter in the workplace. They provide students workbased challenges, where they are faced with realistic work conditions and time-based pressures. What's the result? Tasks help to provide a consistent standard of assessment for all BTEC students. Employers and higher education can trust BTEC students come with the same consistent base of knowledge and skills. Unit 1: Investigating Practitioners Work, students are required to research 2 practitioners and a theme, they will investigate and critically analyse the contextual influences on their selected practitioners and performance work with a focus on how these related to the identified theme. Frequency: Twice yearly First window: May/June 2017 Unit 3: Group Work, students are required to work in groups to respond to a brief and develop a performance for an intended audience. Students are required to submit a digital process log which is completed at four different stages during the processes. Frequency: Twice yearly First window: May/June 2017 Unit 5: Individual Commission, requires students to respond to a commission brief that will include a context, purpose for work, a target audience and time constraints. Students are required to then submit a recording of individual performance and a proposal explaining their performance. Frequency: Twice yearly First window: May/June 2018 Unit 7: Employment Opportunities in the Performing Arts, students are required to complete their own research in response to a potential employment opportunity. In the final assessment students are required to produce a promotional portfolio that will include critically selected examples of practical work. Frequency: Twice yearly First window: May/June BTEC Nationals in Performing Arts BTEC Nationals in Performing Arts 17

10 How assessment recognises learners' overall achievement Support Grading accurately reflects students' performance and achievements Each BTEC Nationals unit is individually graded (Pass, Merit, Distinction) and contributes towards a learner's final qualification grade. Each unit contributes points proportionally to the overall grade. This allows students to gain recognition for strong performance in areas they excel. A learner's final grade is decided by their performance across the qualification, based on a combined total of points earned from assessments. However, students need to pass most (and in some cases, all) mandatory content to remain eligible for an overall qualification pass. 'Must-pass' units Learners must complete and pass all units which carry this symbol. H You told us how important it is to have comprehensive support available to help with the planning and presentation of your qualifications. That's why we've developed a whole suite of support materials to help you at every step of the way. Plan Teach Assess & Track Develop You can find more detail of points allocations for each unit in Section 9 of the specifications. Synoptic assessment The content of some units (for example, Unit 1) helps learners demonstrate that they can apply skills, knowledge and techniques from across the qualification. Synoptic units can be assessed by assignment, task, or exam and affect the overall qualification grade in the same way as a regular unit. Re-submissions and re-takes Internal assessments Re-submissions Each internal assignment can be submitted once, within 15 days of the original work being returned to the student. Learners can improve their grade, whether that s to reach the Pass threshold, or to achieve a narrowly-missed Merit or Distinction. Re-takes If a learner is still short of the Pass threshold, then they can re-take the assessment for that unit, against a new assignment brief which covers only Pass criteria. External assessments Re-sits Students can re-sit externally assessed units once, in the next available assessment window. Because students will take a new paper or task brief, grades aren t capped in re-sits, and they can improve their unit grade. We've shown which units have synoptic assessment on pages 8-9 with this symbol.
