Performance Criteria Weighting

This document discusses the importance and process of weighting performance criteria for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) curriculum assessment and certification. Weighting performance criteria ensures critical criteria are given more importance during evaluation and helps standardize the development of assessment tools by allocating marks. The procedure involves ranking performance criteria based on factors like criticality, knowledge/performance, creativity required, and products/processes involved. Criteria are then distributed to theory and practical assessments based on level, with higher levels having more weight on practical assessment. An example shows weighting elements and criteria for the competency of performing lathe work at level 6.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WEIGHTING

Presented by:
TVET CDACC SECRETARIAT
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WEIGHTING

• Weighting of performance criteria guides on evaluation of


specific observable standards by which candidate’s
performance or products will be assessed based on their
importance.
• The observable standards are specific and measurable
statements defining performance required to meet
learning outcomes.    
IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMANCE
CRITERIA WEIGHTING

It ensures the critical Performance Criteria are given more


weight compared to those that are non critical.

It ensures standardization in development of assessment


tools i.e., allocation of marks to various performance criteria.

It guides on scoring the achievement of candidate against


performance criteria.
FACTORS CONSIDERED IN PC RANKING

 Critical or Non critical PC


 Knowledge based PC or Performance based PC

 Creativity level required to accomplish a task

 Number of tasks involved in the PC

 Whether the PC requires a Product or a Process


or both.
