Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Products are items which students make, usually in technology and the visual arts. Examples include items of food and clothing, pieces of artwork (drawings, paintings, sculptures) and articles made of wood, metal, plastics and ceramics. Product assessment is the assessment of students' mastery of the processes and tools required to make products (for example, design and production processes) and the assessment of the practical and/ or aesthetic qualities of the items students make. This is a guide to assessing student products in the technology and visual arts curriculum. It is an issue in the Assessment Resource Kit (ARK) magazine series and contains five articles: 1. What is product assessment? 2. Assembling evidence; 3. Judging and recording evidence; 4. Estimating attainment and reporting; 5. Designing product assessments.
