Internal Verification and Standardisation What is the role of internal verification? The functions of internal verification

What is the role of internal verification? Internal Verification: A Guide for Centres offering SQA Qualifications

What is the role of internal verification? An effective internal verification system will ensure that: Valid assessments are used for each qualification Assessments are capable of generating sufficient evidence to allow candidates to show that they have met the national standard All assessors are familiar with the national standard Assessors reach accurate and consistent decisions for the same qualification for all candidates in their centre in line with national standards (SQA 2011)

What is the role of internal verification? Internal assessment can use assessments that centres have developed, or using assessments provided by SQA. In both cases, though, all assessments that contribute to an SQA qualification must be valid, reliable, practicable, equitable and fair Assessors must apply the standards of assessment uniformly and consistently. The purpose of internal verification is to ensure that these principles are met, regardless of the particular system used by a centre.

The functions of internal verification Supporting assessors Checking assessment instruments to ensure validity Arranging standardisation exercises Sampling assessment decisions Maintaining assessment and verification records

The functions of internal verification Supporting assessors* The internal verifier can have a developmental role for less experienced assessors by offering advice and guidance. This kind of support should be ongoing throughout the qualification, and not be left to the point of assessment for certification purposes. *Please note that no individual can act as assessor and internal verifier for the same group of candidates.

The functions of internal verification 2. Checking assessment instruments to ensure validity All assessment instruments (including those devised by SQA) must be checked to ensure their validity before being taken by candidates. The internal verifier must ensure that all assessors have a common understanding of the standards required. Meetings between assessors to discuss the planned assessment will help to minimise any differences in interpretation.

The functions of internal verification Arranging standardisation exercises Standardisation exercises identify discrepancies between assessors Agreement trials: Assessors work together Dual assessment: Two assessors assess the same candidates Cross assessment: Assessors exchange candidate evidence to check each other’s interpretation of the standard Evidence review: The internal verifier asks assessors to discuss discrepancies between their decisions Double marking: Assessors exchange the same candidate evidence to check each other’s interpretation of the standard.

The functions of internal verification Sampling assessment decisions The internal verifier should select a sample of candidate evidence to check that each assessor is making consistent decisions in line with national standards. Sampling must be ongoing through the assessment process, not end-loaded. First time delivery of an SQA qualification or award New assessor Etc, etc.

The functions of internal verification 5. Maintaining assessment and verification records All assessment results leading to SQA certification must be signed by the internal verifier. Records that are kept will include: validated assessment material reports of any meetings, including standardisation exercises records of observation of assessment checklists/marking schemes candidate records records of all sampling activity feedback to assessors
