3 THE ASSESSMENT STRATEGY ANDSPECIFICATION3.1 GENERAL GUIDANCEAssessment is governed by the WorldSkills Assessment Strategy. The Strategy establishes the principlesand techniques to which WorldSkills assessment must conform.Expert assessment practice lies at the heart of the WorldSkills Competition. For this reason it is thesubject of continuing professional development and scrutiny. The growth of expertise in assessmentwill inform the future use and direction of the main assessment instruments used by the WorldSkillsCompetition: the Marking Scheme, Test Project, and Competition Information System (CIS).Assessment at the WorldSkills Competition falls into two broad types: measurement and judgment.These are referred to as objective and subjective, respectively. For both types of assessment the useof explicit benchmarks against which to assess each Aspect is essential to guarantee quality.The Marking Scheme must follow the weightings within the Standards Specification. The Test Project isthe assessment vehicle for the skill competition, and also follows the Standards Specification. The CISenables the timely and accurate recording of marks, and has expanding supportive capacity.The Marking Scheme, in outline, will lead the process of Test Project design. After this, the MarkingScheme and Test Project will be designed and developed through an iterative process, to ensure thatboth together optimize their relationship with the Standards Specification and the AssessmentStrategy. They will be agreed by the Experts and submitted to WSI for approval together, in order todemonstrate their quality and conformity with the Standards Specification.Prior to submission for approval to WSI, the Marking Scheme and Test Project will liaise with the WSISkill Advisors in order to benefit from the capabilities of the CIS.WSC2015 TD18 ENDate: 12.08.14 – v5.0 WorldSkills International.

4 THE MARKING SCHEME4.1 GENERAL GUIDANCEThis section describes the role and place of the Marking Scheme, how the Experts will assessCompetitors’ work as demonstrated through the Test Project, and the procedures and requirementsfor marking.The Marking Scheme is the pivotal instrument of the WorldSkills Competition, in that it ties assessmentto the standards that represent the skill. It is designed to allocate marks for each assessed aspect ofperformance in accordance with the weightings in the Standards Specification.By reflecting the weightings in the Standards Specification, the Marking Scheme establishes theparameters for the design of the Test Project. Depending on the nature of the skill and its assessmentneeds, it may initially be appropriate to develop the Marking Scheme in more detail as a guide for TestProject design. Alternatively, initial Test Project design can be based on the outline Marking Scheme.From this point onwards the Marking Scheme and Test Project should be developed together.Section 2.1 above indicates the extent to which the Marking Scheme and Test Project may divergefrom the weightings given in the Standards Specification, if there is no practicable alternative.The Marking Scheme and Test Project may be developed by one person, or several, or by all Experts.The detailed and final Marking Scheme and Test Project must be approved by the whole Expert Juryprior to submission for independent quality assurance. The exception to this process is for those skillcompetitions which use an external designer for the development of the Marking Scheme and TestProject.In addition, Experts are encouraged to submit their Marking Schemes and Test Projects for commentand provisional approval well in advance of completion, in order to avoid disappointment or setbacksat a late stage. They are also advised to work with the CIS Team at this intermediate stage, in order totake full advantage of the possibilities of the CIS.In all cases the complete and approved Marking Scheme must be entered into the CIS at least eightweeks prior to the Competition using the CIS standard spreadsheet or other agreed methods.4.2 ASSESSMENT CRITERIAThe main headings of the Marking Scheme are the Assessment Criteria. These headings are derived inconjunction with the Test Project. In some skill competitions the Assessment Criteria may be similar tothe section headings in the Standards Specification; in others they may be totally different. There willnormally be between five and nine Assessment Criteria. Whether or not the headings match, theMarking Scheme must reflect the weightings in the Standards Specification.Assessment Criteria are created by the person(s) developing the Marking Scheme, who are free todefine criteria that they consider most suited to the assessment and marking of the Test Project. EachAssessment Criterion is defined by a letter (A-I).The Mark Summary Form generated by the CIS will comprise a list of the Assessment Criteria.The marks allocated to each criterion will be calculated by the CIS. These will be the cumulative sum ofmarks given to each aspect of assessment within that Assessment Criterion.WSC2015 TD18 ENDate: 12.08.14 – v5.0 WorldSkills International.

4.3 SUB CRITERIAEach Assessment Criterion is divided into one or more Sub Criteria. Each Sub Criterion becomes theheading for a WorldSkills marking form.Each marking form (Sub Criterion) has a specified day on which it will be marked.Each marking form (Sub Criterion) contains either objective or subjective Aspects to be marked. SomeSub Criteria have both objective and subjective aspects, in which case there is a marking form foreach.4.4 ASPECTSEach Aspect defines, in detail, a single item to be assessed and marked together with the marks, orinstructions for how the marks are to be awarded. Aspects are assessed either objectively orsubjectively and appear on the appropriate marking form.The marking form lists, in detail, every Aspect to be marked together with the mark allocated to it anda reference to the section of the skill as set out in the Standards Specification.The sum of the marks allocated to each Aspect must fall within the range of marks specified for thatsection of the skill in the Standards Specification. This will be displayed in the Mark Allocation Table ofthe CIS, in the following format, when the Marking Scheme is reviewed from C-8 weeks.

4.5 SUBJECTIVE MARKINGSubjective marking uses the 10 point scale below. To apply the scale with rigour and consistency,subjective marking should be conducted using: benchmarks (criteria) to guide judgment against each Aspect the scale to indicate: 0: non attempt;1-4: below industry standard;5-8: at or above industry standard;9-10: excellence.4.6 OBJECTIVE MARKINGA minimum of three experts will be used to judge each aspect. Unless otherwise stated only themaximum mark or zero will be awarded. Where they are used, partial marks will be clearly definedwithin the Aspect.4.7 THE USE OF OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENTThe final deployment of objective or subjective assessment will be agreed when the Marking Schemeand Test Project are finalized.
