This course engages pre-service teachers in an overview of recent developments about assessment. Current trends in research about assessment will be contextualised in relation to school-based assessment demands (like the use of NAPLAN data by teachers) and systemic changes to assessment practice which will affect primary teachers. This will further pre-service teachers’ understanding about the relationship among assessment, reporting, planning, teaching and learning. Consideration will be given to a range of approaches to assess student learning, including the use of formative assessment to inform planning of effective learning sequences and the interpretation of student assessment data to inform and modify teaching and improve student outcomes. Pre-service teachers will be provided with opportunities to apply contemporary theory. Through a focus on strategies to support consistent and comparable assessment judgements, utilising criteria and standards rubrics linked to learning objectives and moderation processes, pre-service teachers will demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills to practice by identifying assessment strategies that inform planning and teaching. Strategies for providing feedback to students will be addressed. Pre-service teachers will also engage with a range of strategies for reporting to parents/carers and will investigate the value of and approaches to maintaining student records.
EDUC3770 is a 2 unit course. For 2 unit courses, UQ recommends you spend approximately 10 hours study per week, including contact time, during semester. Some courses will require more hours.

Task description
Context
Integral to their professional practice, teachers are expected to analyse student assessment data (evidence of student learning); participate in professional conversations to moderate their judgements and feedback to students; and use this understanding to inform classroom teaching and learning. They continue to develop these skills through ongoing engagement with their community of practice, and formal and informal professional learning opportunities. These include professional and academic reading on assessment practices and data.
As a culminating task for the course, this assessment recognises the importance of these combined skills to your development as a future graduate teacher.
Task
Length: 2500-3000 words
Marking criteria: available via the course Blackboard site
Write a practice-based research report that analyses a student work sample.
You will need to develop your report to the following subheadings and requirements, including critical engagement with professional and academic literature:
Analysing the student work sample
Explain how you analysed the sample as student assessment data (evidence of student learning) and outline your findings.
This should include reflections on the nature of the sample as a form of student data:
- in relation to the purpose and use of other data forms (including large-scale, standardised data).
- supported by literature on different forms of student data.
Valuing moderation processes
Outline the nature of the feedback you will need to provide to the student. Do this by:
- independently identifying the feedback required.
- engaging in a moderation task to develop your understanding of the feedback that should be provided.
Using this two-step process, this section should focus more explicitly on the nature and value of moderation processes, drawing on your understandings of moderation in all its forms from across the course, including:
- your engagement in moderating samples of student work for the hurdle task (Task 2). Your knowledge and understanding from Task 1 may also be useful here.
- relevant literature on moderating teacher judgements and feedback to students.
Developing learning sequences and lessons
Outline the nature of the learning sequence and lessons you would need to provide to the student, in order to address their learning needs.
- You will have identified their learning needs by analysing the student's work sample and deciding on the feedback to be provided to the student.
- Your statements should be supported by relevant literature on how teaching and learning practices are informed by student data (evidence of learning) and moderation processes.
Use of generative AI to support or inform assessment

Additional course grading information
Assignment 1 is weighted at 40% for the course. Assignment 3 is weighted at 60% for the course. These weightings will be used to finalise course grades. For example, if a student receives a 4 for for Assignment 1 and a 5 for Assignment 3, the following calculation will apply: 4 x 0.4 + 5 x 0.6 = 1.6 + 3 = 4.6.
As course grades are awarded as whole numbers (1 to 7), at 0.5 or above the grade will be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g. 5.5 would become 6). If the final grade is 0.49 or below, the grade will be rounded down to the nearest whole number (e.g. 6.49 would become 6).
Supplementary assessment
Supplementary assessment is available for this course.
Refer to my.UQ for how to apply for supplementary assessment.
Supplementary assessment can take any form, for example, an oral or a written exam. Students who are eligible and approved for a supplementary assessment and the form of assessment is an examination, are expected to be available to sit the supplementary exam during the University’s Deferred and Supplementary examination period. Once approved, supplementary assessment cannot be rescinded by the student.
Additional assessment information
Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the 'Assessment' folder in Blackboard for this course.
Release of assessment item marks and feedback
In addition to the grade awarded, feedback will be provided in a timely manner to enable students to apply the feedback to further tasks within the course or program and/or plan for supplementary assessment, requests for re-mark, or re-enrolment. However, as per UQ Policy and Procedures Library under the Assessment Policy, results for the final assessment item are to be released only after the final grade for the course has been released. Time frames for applications for assessment re-mark are indicated under the Assessment Procedure.
Re-mark policy
After each assessable item, students will be given the opportunity to view their assessment and so satisfy themselves that a marking or administrative error has not occurred. The formal process of querying a course result (requesting a remark on academic grounds) is set out in the UQ Policy and Procedures Library under the Assessment Procedure.
Use of generative AI to support or inform assessment
These tasks have been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance.
A failure to reference AI use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of AI tools.
