Evaluation Aromātaitanga
Evaluation uses a defined system to decide how important, valuable or high-quality something is. Evaluation decides whether something is good or not, and why.
NZQA uses evaluation for processes where applications must meet certain standards or criteria. It lets NZQA make decisions it can explain and defend.

Ka mahi NZQA i te aromātaitanga hei pūnaha mō ngā tono me whai i ētahi tū-paerewa, tū-paearu hoki rānei. Ka āhei i NZQA te whai whakatau kia whakamārama, kia whakautu i te tikanga.
Evaluative quality assurance Anga aromātai me te whakaū kounga
The evaluative quality assurance framework (EQAF) is an integrated framework focusing on the outcomes of tertiary education, the key processes contributing to those outcomes, and the maintenance and improvement of these outcomes through TEO self-assessment. The EQAF consists of:
- initial entry processes for qualification listing, programme approval and accreditation, training scheme approval, registration of PTEs, assessment standards registration and consent to assess
- processes for maintaining consistency of graduate outcomes and moderation of tertiary assessment
- self-assessment by TEOs
- external evaluation and review
- responses to non-compliance with the Education and Training Act 2020.

Ko ngā āhuatanga o te anga aromātai me te whakaū kounga e whai ana:
- ngā hātepe whakaurunga e whai wāhi ana ki ngā whakarārangitanga tohu mātauranga, ngā akoranga me ngā kura whakaharatau kua whakamanatia, te whakarehitatanga o ngā whare whakangungu tūmataiti, ngā paetae aromatawai me te mana aromatawai
- ngā hātepe hei whakaōrite haere i ngā hua paetahi me te whakaōrite i ngā mahi aromatawai a ngā rōpū amorangi mātauranga

Evidence Taunakitanga; Taunaki mōhio
Evidence for assessment is anything a learner produces that can show their performance in a certain skill or area of knowledge.
Any evidence used for assessment must be:
- valid (focuses on what the standard is assessing and any requirements)
- direct (as similiar to a real context as possible)
- authentic (the work of the learner being assessed, with no outside influence or input)
- sufficient (shows that the learner can meet all the criteria, consistently and to standard they need to).
Ko te taunakitanga ko ngā mea katoa a te ākonga ka whakaatu i tana whakatutuki i tētahi pūkenga, i tētahi kaupapa ako.
He taunakitanga ka mahia mō te aromatawai, me:
- pono (hāngai ana ki te paerewa ka aromatawaihia, me ngā herenga)
- horipū (he āhukahuka tonu ki te horopaki tūturu)
- houtupu (ngā mahi ake a te ākonga ka aromatawaihia, awenga kore, whāurunga kore mai i waho)
- rawaka (ka whakaaturia te āhei a te ākonga ki te whakatutuki tonu i ngā paearu katoa, me ngā paerewa e pīrangitia ana).
Examination centre Taupuni whakamātautau; Pokapū whakamātautau
A site where candidates sit external examinations.
A site needs a minimum number of candidate entries in a written exam to be an examination centre.
NZQA can establish special external examination centres if some candidates can't access a suitable site.
He wāhi mō ngā kaitono ki te mahi aromatawai ā waho.
Me whai te wāhi i te tau mōkito o ngā whakaurunga kaitono mō tētahi whakamātautau ā tuhi e kīia ai he taupuni whakamātautau.
E āhei ana NZQA te whakatū taupuni whakamātautau ā waho pāhekoheko, ki te kore ētahi atu wāhi e whai he nawhe kaitono.
Examination paper Whakamātautau ā- waho
There is a separate examination paper for each standard with an external assessment, though not for portfolio assessments.
This could be paper or digital, or modified to fit Special Assessment Conditions.
He whakaritenga pepa hei mātau i ngā paetae aromatawai mā te aromatawai ā-waho (atu i ngā kōpaki mahi).
Examination session Nohoanga whakamātautau; Wāhanga whakamātautau
One examination session runs for 3 hours. Candidates have that long to sit all NCEA examination papers for a specific subject and level.
E toru hāora te roa o tētahi nohoanga whakamātautau.
Ka riro ki ngā kaitono tērā wā kia whakaoti i ngā puka whakamātautau NCEA katoa mō tētahi kaupapa, tētahi kaupae hoki (i.e. Mātai koiora, Kaupae 2).
He nohoanga ake tā ngā whakamātautau New Zealand Scholarship.
Examiner Kaiwhakamātautau
An Examiner writes an examination paper, with the help of a Materials Developer.
Examiners are experts in the subject they are creating the examination paper on. They are usually teachers or university lecturers in the subject.
Ka tuhi tētahi Kaiwhakamātautau i tētahi puka whakamātautau me te āwhina a tētahi Kaihanga Rauemi.
He mātanga te kaiwhakamātautau i te kaupapa o te puka whakamātautau e waihangatia ana e ia. He kaiako, he pūkenga whare wānanga a ia i taua kaupapa ako.
Exclusion Aweretanga; Tauritenga tāpiri kore
Two or more standards might assess the same skills and knowledge.
If they do, learners can have all the standards on their Record of Achievement. However, only one of the standards can count towards NCEA, a course endorsement and University Entrance.
Ka aromatawai pea ngā paerewa e rua neke atu i ngā pūkenga me ngā akoranga ōrite.
Ki te pērā, ka whakaaturia ngā paerewa katoa ki te mauhanga eke paetae a te ākonga. Engari, kia kotahi anake ka hāngai atu ki NCEA, ki tētahi whakamanatanga hōtaka, Tohu Urunga hoki.
External assessment Aromatawai ā-waho
When someone outside of the learning institution or school assesses the learners and makes the judgment on their performance.
For example, end of year examinations or portfolios for students at secondary school.
Ko ngā aromatawai katoa ka whakawākia e ētahi tāngata mai i waho o te whakahaere mātauranga/te kura.
External Evaluation and Review (EER) Te aromātai me te arotake tarāwaho (EER)
Refers to the external review function of the evaluative quality assurance framework.
EER by NZQA is an independent evaluation of:
- a tertiary education provider that leads to a statement of confidence by NZQA in the provider's educational performance and organisational capability in self-assessment;
- a transitional ITO that leads to a statement of confidence by NZQA about the transitional ITO's organisational performance and organisational capability in self-assessment.
He tukanga aromatawai tarāwaho o te anga arotake me te whakaū kounga.
He arotakenga tūtahi nā te Mana Tohu Mātauranga o Aotearoa (NZQA) i te:
- rōpū amorangi mātauranga e whai kounga ana ki āna mahi mātauranga, me āna hōtaka whakapakari kaimahi e ai ki te aromatawai whaiaro.
- rōpū whakangungu ahumahi whakawhiti e whai kounga ana ki āna mahi mātauranga, me āna hōtaka whakapakari kaimahi e ai ki te aromatawai whaiaro.
External moderation Aromātairua ā waho; (te) whakaōrite ā waho
When someone from outside an education organisation looks at that organisation's assessment processes and activities.
Education organisations submit samples of their assessment for a certain standard. Then an independent external moderator checks if the assessment is fair, valid and consistent.
Ka tirotiro ana e tētahi nō waho o tētahi whare ako ki te tukanga aromatawai, tukanga ngohe a taua whare.
Ka tāpae tauira ngā whare ako o ā rātou aromatawai mō tētahi paerewa. Kātahi, ka āta titiro tētahi kaiaromātairua ā waho motuhake mehemea he tika, he pono, he hāngai te aromatawai.
