Presentation Transcript

  1. PLASC/NPD User Group • Mick Quinlan (Mick.Quinlan@naa.org.uk) • Change, or the lack of it • The Players: suppliers and users • NC assessment process • A wander through the ‘book’… an A-Z of the collection of NC assessment data

  2. Forward • I’d like to change the current process but: • there are many players in the game each with existing systems and many dependencies • we’re not good at managing change!

  3. Drivers for Change • 1998 Service delivery failure of data collection exercise • 1999 Rose report – Weighing the Baby • 2004 Beasley report – service delivery failure of KS3 English test results • 2005 Statistics Commission report #23 – measuring standards in English Primary schools • 2005 Statistics Commission report #26 – school education statistics: user perspectives • 2006 NAO 3rd validation compendium report – quality of data systems underpinning PSA targets • Broadly appropriate but system needs strengthening

  4. Metadata • Statistics Commission #23, Feb 2005, §11 • We feel that public presentation of the KS scores in statistical releases should include a clear statement about the uses to which the data may be put, and the limitations of the data in respect of those uses • Statistics Commission #26, June 2005, §D • Full and informative statistical commentary should be provided alongside the figures to guide users

  5. Making Good Progress

  6. Changes for 2006 • KS2/3 Electronic collection of TA, including pupil-level non-core results for KS3, via S2S – rather than OMR forms • A decision has been taken by the Department’s Head of Profession for Statistics not to provide this data until the quality and robustness can be assured (SFR34-2006) • KS3 English: Richard III in, Henry V out • KS3 ICT onscreen test 2nd pilot (≈170,000 pupils)

  7. The Players: DfES • DfES – Paymaster/customer (TRD) • School Census/NPD and FSP/KS1 data collection • EduBase • School Self-Evaluation/Improvement • Autumn Package (benchmarks, progress, target setting) • PAT/RAISEonline) • School Accountability - Performance Tables • SERAP, FORVUS, FFT • National Statistics • Statistical First Releases • PSA Targets

  8. The Players: NAA • A division of QCA (the Regulator) • Managers of the process: • Test development (NFER, Edexcel, UCLES, RM) • Pupil registration (DfES, schools) • Test Printing/Distribution (COI/Granby) • Test marking (Edexcel) • Teacher Assessments (schools, LAs) • Data capture (Pearson) • Non-standard processes (in-house)

  10. A is for Assessment • National Curriculum • key stages: Foundation, KS1, KS2, KS3 • Subjects • core: English, maths & science • Attainment Targets • non-core: Art & Design, D&T, Geography, History, ICT, MFL, Music and PE • Test/Task & Teacher Assessment • Levels

  11. Levels • Q: What’s the difference between Level 4 and Level 5? • A: 1 mark • Making Good Progress (KS2-KS3,page 9) • This shows that 15[%] pupils did not progress by a full level since finishing KS2 and three[%] have actually regressed

  18. PQR • P = Past sitting (subjects early takers took last year) • Progress tests (Year 7) • P Scales • Q = result annulled - malpractice (DfES) • Reading • Reviews • Re-sits

  20. UVW • U = No TA subject Level calculated (KS1) • Unique Pupil Number (UPN) • V = mixed tiers • Versions • W = Working towards Level 1 • Writing

  21. XYZ • X = Marks pending (KS2/3) • X = pupil not entered for readingcomprehension test (KS1) • Year groups • Z = ineligible pupil
