*7. FACULTY CERTIFICATES p1383-1388

At meeting 6/97 of 24 September, the Committee approved the recommendations contained in the report of the University Diplomas Working Party. It resolved to consider the matter further following the report of the Faculty Certificates Working Party. The latter report, framed by Professor T Threadgold, Associate Professor J Hurst, Mr G Tickell and Professor W Young, is attached for the consideration of the Committee. The Report of the University Diplomas Working Party, received previously, is also attached. Professor T Threadgold and Associate Professor N White will report on their findings.

That the Committee receive the Report of the Faculty Certificates Working Party and consider its findings in light of the report, received previously, of the University Diplomas Working Party.

At its meeting 6/97 of 24 September, the Committee approved the proposal that the Education Policy be reviewed and revised in light of the role of oral assessment. Associate Professor N White and Ms K McGillivray agreed to formulate proposed revisions to the Policy, which appear below:

Proposed amendment to Education Policy: Section 3.1.10 The Monash University Education Policy Objectives refer to, among other outcomes, "the knowledge, competence, skills and attitudes that will enable (students) to operate in their chosen fields at a level at least equal to the best of their peers in Australia or overseas" (Monash University Education and Research Policies: 1). Fluent oral communication is one of the skills fundamental to university study and to graduates' activity beyond the university setting. However, with the obvious exception of performance subjects in music and drama, clinical work, and education and social work placements for example, oral communication has not been widely used to assess understanding and knowledge.

While the assessment of oral communication is permitted by the Education Policy, one of the factors limiting its widespread adoption has been the perceived difficulty of verifying examiners' evaluations of student oral communication or performance where a fail mark contributes to a final fail result. The recommendations below are designed to extend the University's current assessment policy by specifying the verification procedures to be adopted when oral communication tasks constitute more than 10% of the total assessment for the subject. (Current policy does not require verification of assessment tasks which contribute less than 10% to the overall mark for a subject and permits a total of three such tasks to be included in a subject. Monash University Education and Research Policies: Section 3.1.10.)

Recommendations:

That for subjects in which oral communication is assessed, and in which this assessment is worth more than 10% of the total mark:

A process for verifying fail marks that contribute a final fail result must be established.

Verification or re-marking of work awarded a fail grade may be provided for with the adoption of measures such as sound and/or video recording or independent examination of a repeat performance of the oral communication task.

Alternatively, initial assessment may involve more than one examiner.

That the Committee consider Associate Professor White’s remarks and proposed recommendations for the revision of the Education Policy.

*9. EDUCATION COMMITTEE MEETING DATES FOR 1998 p1389-1390

A table setting out the proposed Education Committee and Committee of Associate Deans (Teaching) dates for 1998 is attached for consideration by members of those committees.
