Solutions to issues raised by schools Flexibility of External Assessment = Recognition Facilitate improved integration Innovative concept based assessment subject choice New PP moderation = global consistency EVOLUTIONARY and INNOVATIVE Development of MYP for students aged 11 -16 Contextual learning areas Concept based curriculum Core to continuum Greater guidance and support Innovative e. Assessment options Emphasis on Approaches to Learning October 2013

MYP: Next chapter Benefits realization • enhance student learning and engagement • enable more students to benefit from an IB education • attract a wide range of state education systems • align more explicitly with other IB programmes • become more user friendly for teachers • provide ongoing quality assurance • increase global recognition 3

Purpose of assessment Educative Promotes good teaching and learning Motivates Recognizes accomplishment 8

Nature of good assessment • Be fair and inclusive • Allow students to demonstrate what they have achieved • Show depth as well as breadth of learning • Be interactive • Be motivating Scottish government 2010 9

On-screen Examinations High-tech, high-touch assessment for today’s students

Recognition IB MYP courses and the IB MYP certificate are scheduled to become regulated (officially recognized) qualifications by the first full examination session (May 2016).

Familiarization tool • Focuses on technical skills (manipulating the interface)– application of key approaches to learning • Scaffolded intrinsic cognitive load • Window on deeper information and media ATL skills • New vocabulary: picture superiority, noticing, structuring, spacial learning, multiliteracy, source integration… 18

On-screen examinations

On-screen examination structure On-screen examinations are designed to complement classroom practice: sample, simulate or replicate typical summative assessments from MYP units One task in each examination is linked to the global context – Resources for preparation • subject group criteria • topic list • test blueprint • subject –specific general grade descriptors

Language and literature Tasks • Analysis task • Creative writing task Sources • A variety of sources will feature in each assessment and will include the following. • An extract from a literary text or poem • A video with audio • A static image without text Key features • Highly structured • Consistency and comparability across languages • Wide range of multimedia stimuli • Global context questions draw on classroom experience • Wide range of analysis and communication skills covered

Individuals and societies Tasks • Investigating • Communicating • Thinking critically Sources Primary and secondary Articles Static images Journals Videos Blogs Charts Tools Graphs Key features Clear format and structure Consistency across disciplines Stimulating Varied source material, appropriate to the discipline Animated charts, graphs and maps

Sciences Tasks • Knowing and understanding A • Investigation task B, C • Applying science D Sources Data tables Animations Static images Simulations Videos Graphs Key features • Investigation skills assessed using interactive simulations • Consistency and comparability across disciplines and sessions • Wide range of multimedia stimuli • Concept based questions draw on classroom experience • Questions based on engaging real world problems and issues • Opportunities for candidates to apply their own knowledge and experiences

Mathematics Tasks • Knowing and understanding A, C • Applying mathematics in real life contexts D, C • Investigating patterns B, C Sources Data tables Animations Videos Static images Simulations Graphs Key features • Authentic question structure in line with MYP philosophy • Stimuli that supports investigation and communication • Interactive on-screen features and tools (i. e. graph plotting, tables, measurers) • An inbuilt equation editor (WIRIS - adapted) • A innovative on-screen scientific calculator Texas TI 30 X with a paste to response box feature • Videos & animations that introduce context and illustrate mathematics visually
