Note:

The learner work generated is an exemplar of standard for a particular Assignment Brief. We expect centres to use this resource to exemplify how to structure a response to a task. We also encourage centres to use this work to standardise their Assessment teams and demonstrate to learners the level of work expected to achieve the different targeted grades outcome.

1. Introduction and Commentary

The learner work that follows has been assessed accurately to national standards. This is one example of Merit achievement.

The assignment brief covers Learning Aims A and B.

The Assignment Brief

There are no authorised assignment briefs available as yet and the one used here is structured on the suggested scenario given within the specification and adapted by the centre to fit local needs, by way of encouraging the learner to take part in a team event to campaign for staying safe online, which is a very relevant topic today. When writing Assignment Briefs to be used for the assessment of the BTEC Entry 3 Entry to Vocational Study suite of units, the Assessor should ensure that all tasks clearly meet the targeted assessment criteria.

The structure of the tasks will always target an entire learning aim(s). This is a fundamental cornerstone of this suite, as it enables any learner to achieve the best grade for them.

The assessment criteria are not a set of sequential activities but a way of making a judgement. For example, if a Pass specifies a ‘description’ and a Merit an ‘analysis’, these do not require two different activities but rather one activity through which some learners will provide only description evidence and others will also provide analysis evidence.

A Learning Aim must NOT be broken down into discrete tasks. It is not acceptable to have tasks or sub-tasks that target, for example, a Pass criterion only. All tasks must encourage the learner to challenge themselves and aim for the highest level of personal achievement.

In this instance the Assignment Brief contains one task for Learning Aim A and one task for Learning Aim B. The Assignment Brief presented is fit for purpose.

The overarching task for Learning Aim A is the allocation of roles and the planning of the campaign. The mode of presentation is noted as a mind map or meeting notes. For Learning Aim B it is about working as a team to deliver the campaign. The mode of presentation is noted as the campaign resources.

There is sufficient scope for learners at all levels to achieve.


The Learner Work

Always use the Essential information for assessment decisions section in the specification for clarification on when an assessment criterion can be awarded. This provides amplification to the grading criteria. Reference to this assessment guidance will ensure that the assessment of the evidence that the learner has produced fully meets the quantitative and qualitative requirements of the criterion.

When assessing the learner’s work it is important that the assessor looks for where the learner has produced evidence of a quality that is appropriate to the command verb in the assessment criteria.

For Learning Aim A the learner has to Agree ways of working in a team.

The learner has achieved A.M1 by producing meeting notes which show what was agreed, who would be doing what, and how they could keep in touch. The Merit criterion requires the learner to Agree appropriate ways of working in team and personal contributions to the challenge with an awareness of others.

The learner has met this in the meeting notes.

For Learning Aim B the learner has to Carry out your role when working with others.

The learner has achieved B.M2 in the slideshow provided. The team has worked as a group and provided the relevant materials. There were good verbal skills, presentation skills, and the learner was able to answer questions. The Merit criterion requires the learner to Contribute to the team challenge using a range of skills to encourage the team to work effectively. There is a suitably compiled observation record to re-enforce the work of the learner.

Overall, a very good piece of work from a learner who understands most of the requirements of the unit and has addressed each Learning Aim well.

The work is very well presented and easy to follow.

The assessor has made suitable comments to validate the award of the Merit and has fed back well to the learner.

Unit number & title:

02: Team Challenge

Description of activity undertaken I watched Emily and the rest of the team hold team meetings then present their findings and advice on online safety. This was a slideshow which looped continuously after the presentation had finished as well as a live presentation.

Assessment criteria targeted BP2, BM2 How the activity covers the requirements of the assessment criteria (this does not confirm achievement of assessment criteria or confer an assessment decision) Emily helped record the minutes of the meetings and organised her own role in a positive and confident way.

Emily was proactive in completing the team challenge, supporting and encouraging others who were a bit nervous at times.

It was clear she had rehearsed her part of the personation both in what was produced and how she presented her ‘bit’.

The team meeting notes and the final product showed Emily had taken a full role and had accepted the responsibility for her section on Social Media.
