Assessment - A Standards Referenced Approach

What is a standards referenced approach?

In a standards referenced approach, student achievement is assessed against specific standards of perfromance that are established for each course.

Assessment in a standards-referenced model has these characteristics:
o A syllabus that provides a clear sense of the syllabus standards through its aims, objectives,
outcomes and content;
o Tasks designed to produce an image of what students have achieved at that point in the
teaching and learning process relative to the outcomes;
o A report that gives marks referenced to predetermined standards.
