 4. ASSESSMENT GUIDANCE:

Good assessment practices should be adopted for sessional and final assessments. Such practices by vocational
training providers during Sessional and final assessments will form the basis of qualifying the trainees.

4.1 Differences between sessional and final assessments:

Sessional assessment shall be on an all-time basis. Its purpose is to provide feedback on what students are learning:
 To the student: It will identify achievement and areas for further teaching and its level.
 To the teacher: It will evaluate the effectiveness of teaching, and guide to determine the future plan.
Assessors need to devise sessional assessments for both theoretical and practical work. Guidance is provided in the
assessment strategy.

Final assessment is the assessment, usually carried out on completion of a course or module. This determines whether
or not the student has "passed". It is - or should be - undertaken with reference to all the objectives or outcomes of the
course, and is often fairly formal. Considerations of security - ensuring that the student who gets the credit is the person
who did the work - assume considerable importance in final assessment.

4.2 Methods of assessment:

For lessons with a high quantity of theory, written or oral tests related to learning outcomes and/ or learning content
can be conducted. For work place lessons, assessment will focus on the quality of planning and executing the related
process along with the quality of the product and/or evaluation of the process.

29 | P a g e
 Methods will include direct assessment, as the most desirable form of assessment. For this, evidence shall be obtained
by directly observing the student's performance.

Examples for direct assessment of Pattern Drafting and Grading will include:
 Work performances, for example develop patterns for different garments.
 Demonstrations, for example demonstrating the cutting procedure of Patterns
 Direct questioning, where the assessor will ask the student how many types and techniques of Pattern making.
 Paper-based tests, such as multiple choice or short answer questions regarding tools used for pattern making,and
technical terms, procedure of pattern grading, etc.

 Indirect assessment shall be used where the performance could not be watched and evidence is gained indirectly.
Examples for indirect assessment of Pattern drafting and grading trade will include:
 Drafting and pattern making
 Use of technical package
 Developing spec sheet
 Developing size chart
 Review shapes and sizes
 Application of grading rule
 Demonstration of Techniques in making and grading patterns
 Storage of tools, equipments and material, the methods adopted to store products.
Indirect assessment should only be a second choice. (In some cases, it may not even be guaranteed that the work
products were produced by the person being assessed).

30 | P a g e
4.3 Principles of assessment
All assessments should be valid, reliable, fair and flexible:

Fairness means that there should be no advantages or disadvantages for any assessed person. For example, it should
not happen that one student gets prior information about the type of work performance that will be assessed, while
another candidate does not get any prior information.
Validity means that a valid assessment assesses what it claims to assess. For example, if the ability to develop patterns
for garments is to be assessed and certified, the assessment should involve performance criteria that are directly related
to pattern making.
Reliability means that the assessment is consistent. For example, if work performance of demonstrating pattern drafting
and grading, another assessor (e.g., the future employer) should be able to see the same work performance and
witness the same level of achievement.
Flexibility means that the assessor has to be flexible concerning the assessment approach. For example, if there is a
power failure during the assessment, the assessor should modify the arrangements to accommodate the students' needs.

4.4 Assessment strategy for the Dress Making Curriculum

This curriculum consists of 5 modules:

Module-1: Interpret Technical Package and Garment Specification

Module-2: Take Body and Garment Measurements
Module-3: Create Basic Bodice Block and Pattern for Garments
Module-4: Perform Pattern Grading for Garment Production
Module-5: Develop Professionalism

31 | P a g e
4.5 Suggestions for Sessional assessment
The Sessional assessment for all modules shall be in two parts: theoretical assessment and practical assessment. The
Sessional marks shall contribute to the final qualification. Theoretical assessment for all learning modules must consist of
a written paper lasting at least one hour per module. This can be a combination of multiple choice and short answer
questions. For practical assessment, all procedures and methods for the modules must be assessed on a Sessional basis
Guidance is provided under the title planning for assessment.

4.6 Suggestions of final assessment

Final assessment shall be in two parts: theoretical assessment and practical assessment. The final assessment marks
shall contribute to the final qualification. The final theoretical assessment shall consist of multiple choice and short answer
questions, covering all modules. For practical assessment, the method of pattern making shall be selected to assess the
competencies of student expected to be gained after this training course. It is also proposed that the assessment may
take place in such a way that covers each of the modules. Time and markings may be distributed according to the
importance of module that is reflected from the time invested during teaching
