The estimation of Marks for students assessment is crucial in fairly rating the student's performance in school assessments. That is, if a student misses an assessment, then every effort must be made to estimate a fair value for the missing mark(s) and an estimated score should be awarded in place of the missing mark in all subsequent procedures. Schools throughout the country must use the following rules to determine estimated scores. This applies to
1 . If a student misses an assessment task (example , a test) for a genuine reason but has been present for nearly all of the classwork and other assessments task, then a fair procedure must be used to give him/her an estimated mark based on the average mark for the assessment tasks completed. Below is and example and the formula to estimate missed assessments score.
In the table above, a student missed Test 2 which was out of 30 points. The student presented a genuine reason for missing the test to her teacher . The teacher now has to estimate a mark and award it to the student(The missing mark in the table above is shown by letter E). The following formula must be used across the school system to estimate missing marks. FORMULA So the estimated mark awarded to the student is 25 points. Note: We have only used Tests as examples in the table above. Other assessment tasks like assignments, projects , quiz can also be included in the formula above. 2. If a student deliberately missed an assessment task, the above formula should never be used and instead the lowest of the lowest mark be awarded to the student.
3. If a student misses more than 2 assessment tasks, the above formular should not be used. Instead, the teacher can allow the student to retake the tests, assessment task or provide alternative assessment tasks. Source : PNG Examination Handbook-2008 Also read
