Abstract
This paper reports the findings of a three-year evaluation study of consensus moderation procedures as applied to the school-assessed component in H.S.C. Geography in Victoria. Since 1981, Group 1 subjects in the assessment program of the Victorian Institute of Secondary Education (V.I.S.E.) at Year 12 level have included a school-assessed component in addition to an external examination. For most subjects, the method of moderating the school-assessed component is by statistical moderation. Moderation by visitation and consensus moderation are the two other methods currently used in Victoria. As V.I.S.E. is proposing to extend the number of subjects for which consensus moderation procedures may be used, the implications of the experience are discussed in some detail. The findings of the evaluation will be of interest to public examining authorities in other Australian States.
