The VALID program is stimulating discussion within the national and statewide science education community about the nature and requirements of the science key learning area and the design of appropriate and informative assessment tools for school science.Ĭonsultation is a two way process in which the VALID team, interest groups and other areas of the NSW Department of Education exchange information in Stages 3, 4 and 5. Teachers of the registered schools will participate in five hours of professional learning and then mark the extended response tasks for their school. Schools with students in Year 10 can participate by registering their full cohort.
This test is optional for schools with Year 10 students. This test is mandatory for NSW government schools and optional for non-government schools. Schools with students in Year 6 can participate by registering their full cohort. This test is optional for schools with Year 6 students. It also provides useful information about student attitudes towards science. The test is linked to the science syllabuses, and assesses what students know and can do in science. These assessments can be used as a diagnostic tool to assist in improving student outcomes in science and as a tool for program evaluation. The Validation of Assessment for Learning and Individual Development ( VALID) program provides online end-of-stage assessments for the science key learning area.
