presentation given to year 2 students at NUA

1. Peer assessment day
Year 2

2. introduction
Today is all about peer assessment –
Peer assessment involves students taking
responsibility for assessing the work of
their peers against set assessment criteria.
They can therefore be engaged in providing
feedback to their peers (sometimes referred to
as peer review), summative grades (moderated
by you or your colleagues), or a combination of
the two.

6. Stage 2
10:45 – 12:00
developing an assessment criteria
In your teams you are now going to
develop an assessment criteria to measure
the work of other teams.

7. How do we measure?
What are you measuring?
What is the criteria?
Out of 10?

8. How do we measure?
my best meal ever.........
How important was context?

9. What do we like?
How can you separate what you like from what is good?

10. How do we measure?
oranges – apples
Can’t be compared
You have to create a system to measure against
something
to enable you to find the best orange – the best
apple

11. ideas
where do they come from?
what if any is the role of research?
Is it a good one?
Is it moulded to ‘consider’ the
format/form of textile?
intention
what are you attempting to communicate?
What do we measure?

12. content
design
layout/pattern
form/structure
how does the content relate to your
intention?
What do we measure?

13. choice of materials and processes
paper thread wool cotton silk wood plastic
ink etc
are some materials just better?
do certain materials have a finished state?
What do we measure?

14. design development
how did their ideas develop?
Did they?
new ideas - innovation
is there a relationship between the
materials you use and our expectation of
materials?
What do we measure?

15. factors effecting choice
intention - brief
function - functionality
timescale - how long did they take?
budget - how much did they spend?
audience - who is it for?
did they get it right?
is it important to know the ‘brief’ to be able
to make a judgement?
What do we measure?

16. How do we measure?
finished
Is the work finished?
How do you know?
Does it matter?
Is the journey more important?
What did they learn – if anything?

19. Learning Outcome How you will be assessed:
LO7: Demonstrate an understanding of a wide
range of applications for your work, including
workplace contexts for your practice.
We will be looking for evidence of your
understanding of the contexts for your project
conclusions. This may be evidenced in research
files and final design conclusions.
LO8: Identify, evaluate and employ appropriate
research, communication and presentation
methods in relation to subject and audience.
We will be looking for evidence of the use of
appropriate methodologies and referencing in
your 1,000 word research report proposal. You
will also demonstrate communication and
presentation skills in your design project
presentation.
LO9: Evidence your ability to undertake relevant
skills development.
We will be looking for evidence of how you have
responded to the challenges of your projects and
how you have explored design concepts and
developed textile skills that support your
conclusions.
LO10: Demonstrate your ability to work
collaboratively in order to meet specified goals.
We will be looking for evidence, in your peer
assessment folder and reflective journal summary,
of your engagement as part of a design team.

20. What will you measure?
How will you measure it?
What is the criteria?
Build a way of marking.

21. 1 to 10
