Principle 06
Learning becomes clearer when performance can be examined.
Explanation
A task, explanation or decision can reveal aspects of understanding that a completion record alone cannot show.
Application
Ask a learner to apply the concept in a realistic situation and explain the reasoning behind the answer.
Context and limits
A single assessment offers partial evidence. Capability may require observation across situations and over time.
A question for reflection
What evidence would show that this understanding can be used?
