Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student’s work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range

A student in this range:

16-20

(Very High)
  • presents a sustained, logical and well-structured explanation of the establishment, role and structure of an Aboriginal organisation, its impact on employment and economic dependence and its relationship with the wider Australian community
  • uses a sophisticated application of ethical research skills including protocols for consultation
  • uses an extensive range of relevant sources, including the local community
  • includes an extensive range of appropriate terms and concepts.

11-15

(High)
  • presents a logical and well-structured explanation of the establishment, role and structure of an Aboriginal organisation, its impact on employment and economic dependence and its relationship with the wider Australian community
  • effectively applies ethical research skills including protocols for consultation
  • uses a wide range of relevant sources, including the local community
  • includes a wide range of appropriate terms and concepts.

6-10

(Satisfactory)
  • presents a basic explanation of the establishment, role and structure of an Aboriginal organisation, its impact on employment and economic dependence and its relationship with the wider Australian community
  • competently applies ethical research skills including protocols for consultation
  • uses a range of relevant sources, including the local community
  • includes a range of appropriate terms and concepts.

1-5

(Progressing)
  • presents a limited explanation of Aboriginal organisations
  • demonstrates limited application of ethical research skills including protocols for consultation
  • uses few relevant sources
  • includes one or two terms and concepts.

Feedback

Students will be given written comments on such aspects as:

  • the range of research techniques and technologies used
  • demonstrated appropriate use of community consultation protocols
  • analysis of the key issues
  • use of appropriate language.

Oral teacher and peer feedback during the class presentation will inform students on such things as:

  • use of notes
  • level of research
  • analysis of key issues
  • use of appropriate language.

Future directions

Further assessment of the contribution of Aboriginal Peoples to Australian society will occur in the next option studied. Students will be able to build on what they have learnt about Aboriginal identities, autonomy and culture. The contact they have made with the local Aboriginal community could form the basis for their next option.
