Abstract | This paper focuses on the alignment between learning and assessment. The Assessment in Music (AiM) project, funded by the Office for Teaching and Learning (OLT), is engaged in the processing of mapping assessment practices to the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) Threshold Learning Outcome statements (TLOs) in tertiary music programs. The project team has employed the process of consensus moderation as a means of redeveloping existing assessment processes to reach agreement on assessment standards at the host institution, Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University (QCGU). In this project, the process has involved two procedures: the project team engaging in consensus moderation to arrive at claims at the program level, and course convenors collaborating with like-minded colleagues to reach consensus on the claims for Graduate Attributes at the course level. The results indicate a generally positive relationship between the use of consensus moderation and a reduction in the claims for the assessment of graduate outcomes. However, some courses did exhibit an increase in claims and the causes of this unexpected anomaly are being investigated. The finely nuanced processes described in the paper provide a possible template for other institutions. |
