Clarification details
Updated December 2018. The ‘collecting evidence’ and ‘wider context’ sections have been updated to address issues that have arisen during moderation.
Collection of evidence
Teacher evidence of specific skills/descriptors of each level of social responsibility demonstrated is required to be collected over a period of time. This will allow for valid and fair judgements to be made when determining the consistency and level of demonstration through the application of Hellison’s Social Responsibility Model. Refer to the exemplar for examples of how the collection of evidence may look.
Required evidence should include detailed recording sheets, observational notes, and marked checklists. A tick on the cover sheet or circling the grade is not sufficient evidence.
Final grades should be based on assessor observations of each student’s performance level. The teacher may consider validated self and peer observation sheets as additional evidence to support judgements.
It is important for the assessor to view the student’s work holistically throughout each task when deciding to award a grade against each of the criteria. Commentary is beneficial to support the final grade awarded if there are any variances.
Ongoing reflection
For all levels of achievement, students must use ongoing reflection to support demonstrating social responsibility in physical activity by applying a social responsibility model.
Evidence from the ongoing reflections can also be used as additional evidence to help determine the consistency of demonstration.
Wider context
Students must be able to demonstrate that they have:
- consistently applied self-direction
- used ongoing reflection
- helped others and shown leadership within a social responsibility model in physical activity and in other aspects of their lives beyond school. For example, coaching a sports team, leading another year group on camp, leading other physical activity groups in the community.
