Skills Education

Step-by-step walk through of developing an observation checklist suitable for use by a third party.

Only a person with the required credentials to assess others can make a decision on evidence submitted as part of a claim for competency.

In cases where an assessor is unable to directly observe a student’s performance another suitable party may be able to collect evidence that the student is able to perform the required skills and apply the required knowledge on a regular basis in a workplace environment. This evidence is then submitted to the assessor so they can make a judgement on whether the evidence of performance has met requirements. 

This session will outline a framework for creating an assessment tool appropriate for use by a suitable other party to collect evidence for consideration by an assessor. This tool is for use when relying on a third party to provide evidence from multiple occasions over a period of time.

We’ll look at:

• Instructions to users - what to include for the assessor, student and other party

• Qualifiers - what to include in your checklist as a guide to who is suitable to use the tool to collect evidence for assessor consideration

• How a third-party or other-party evidence collection tool is different from a verification report

• Ways to build reliability and validity into the tool

• Specific considerations for avoiding any potential bias from the person observing and collecting the evidence 

• An actual tool that incorporates all of the above points
