Justification:
What are the features of the Assessment Task / SAC
 What did you do to change, annotate or create a new experience for this assessment
task / SAC?
Changes were being made as per the assessment task and learning outcome requirement,
for the student who were not learning as per the expected level were included with certain
strategies. These strategies were not highlighted before, for improving learning experience
of learner, certain changes were being made brining better experience to the assessment.
At first, change the teaching process, educator often need to change their teaching
approach if majority of learner are not getting proper learning. On the other hand, educator
need to focus on including class based activity which allow every learner to reflect on their
learning, learner is often asked to focus on providing more details about key learning and
education. At last, educator was asked to reflect on student learning ability.
 What changes did you make, based on examiner’s reports, VCAA advice to teachers?
The examiner report has highlighted certain changes to the assessment allowing educator to
improve quality of the report, there were certain changes, these are:
 The 3rd, 4th, 5th lesson and stage do not have any assessment and resource criteria
which means these are not mentioned in the report reducing the quality of the
assessment.
 Student will be asked to provide Venn diagram for the clear assessment of the unit,
student asked to present this diagram in front of other student.
 Inclusion of the resource allowing educator to improve their quality of the
assessment, learner is often asked to include verbal question and answer.
 The assessment of lesson 5th will be done on the basis of model DNA/RNA which
means assessment will cover outcome of this unit.
Include a brief overview of the Assessment Task / SAC
 Where does the assessment task fit within the overall unit?
SAC tool place at the end of the unit 4 Area of study 1: focusing on curriculum on science
including two criteria, these are:
 First strand: This will cover science topic including biological science, chemical science,
earth and space science and physical science covering important area of the
assessment, educator often focus on science topic and inclusion of science related topic
to classroom or assessment.
 Second strand: The second strand will focus on human endeavour comprises of the
development of conceptual understanding on science and use of science to influence
the assessment and requirement of the assessment. Second strand will cover the area
of study which have direct focus on curriculum on science and human study.
 What important preparation/experiences have the students undertaken prior to the
assessment task?

 Learners have to read, discuss and elaborate set tests for the unit in the classroom
allowing them to reflect on their learning during the period, learner are often asked to
focus on texts provided in the class.
 Learner become confident in science and will explore different area of the development,
learner is focusing on science and topic related to science allowing them to ensure
continuous learning.
 Learner will develop their critical thinking and key skills allowing learner to explore
different area of the development, learner will be crafting argument mapping process
allowing them to target informal logic.
 Learner will be familiar with the concept of science and active learning allowing them to
explore critical topic of the science and pushing learner to become effective in the
process.
 How does the assessment task inform you formatively about student learning / VCE
exam preparation?
 The assessment task informed me formatively about the learning process of the learner,
this allowed me to examine the learning ability of learner in the classroom focusing on
the topic of science. The argument with learner informed me about evaluating ideas and
arrangement of the key findings to address these question.
 The assessment task informed me formatively about the learner’s knowledge and ability
to address science topic, learner is often asked to reflect on their knowledge and
understanding about the science topic, they need to highlight key learning outcome
allowing them to explore different area of the learning.
 The assessment task informed me formatively about the critical thinking ability of the
learner and helped me to explore different area of the development, critical thinking
ability is being reflected by the learner in the process.
Rationale:
What is your rationale for making these changes?
 Explain the evidence base for why you made these changes (peer reviewed literature)
According to CohenMiller, Shamatov and Merril, (2018), teaching strategies may differ from
topic to topic which means each educator have their own style and way of teaching their
learner. For the science topic, educator have certain type of teaching strategy allowing them
to explore different area of the development, science teaching may require those requirement
allowing learner to become confident, science is one of the most complex topic to be studied
in the process. Science is major topic, educator and learner compile with certain learning
ability and growth aspect, these changes are necessary allowing learner to become confident
and educator to provide effective teaching.
 Did you make changes, so that it is authentic and engaging? Or, so that it links to your
teaching philosophy? Perhaps you changed it to make it valid and reasonable, equitable,
efficient or balanced?
 Learning and education in this assessment is completely authentic and engaging
through deep learning and discussion allowing learner to evaluate philosophical
arrangement and allowing them to focus on complex topic of the science.
 Engaging because learner have capacity to explore different area of the learning, learner
have capabilities to choose topic of science and related article allowing them to explore
deep knowledge.
 This assessment is based on teaching philosophy consider by the educator in the
process, these are valid and reasonable change to balance the quality of the study.
