The Brief should provide the student with a clear opportunity to achieve pass, merit or distinction through engaging in an assignment that will allow them to evidence their knowledge and skill through their achievement of learning. A wellstructured assignment brief, that is contextualised by a vocational scenario, should provide the student with a modelled real-world situation that reflects the type of work that they may undertake in future employment.  \nPearson Example Assessment Briefs (EABs) provide tutors with a reference point for the development of unique assignments; that are tailored to a specific location, employment context and the centre’s approach to the subject. In addition, the EABs offer suggestions to encourage the development of collaborative and interpersonal skills as well as developing cognitive skills and understanding of the professional behaviours associated with the relevant industry or sector. As with any assessment brief, the Pearson EABs are intended to provide a model of an assessment that is valid, sufficient, authentic, appropriate and relevant.  \nThis booklet includes an EAB for every unit within the relevant Higher National qualification. Reviewing these will provide tutors with suggestions about the types of assignments that might be used for assessment, the structure and language of assignment briefs, and inspiration for how to develop new approaches.  \n1","cbCaiclzfOuRS2c7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiclzfOuRS2c7","pdf",525205,43,"English","# Introduction\n## Guidance only\n# Support materials\n## Training Video-Assignment Writing and Assessment for RQF Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals\n## Training Video – Pearson-Set Assignment for RQF Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals\n# Example Assessment Briefs\n## Unit 1: Fundamentals of Laboratory Techniques\n## Unit 2: Scientific Data Handling Approaches and Techniques\n## Unit 3: Regulation and Quality in the Applied Sciences\n## Unit 27: Analysis of Scientific Data and Information\n## Unit 28: Applied Sciences Research Project","[{\"question\":\"Are these example assessment briefs intended to be used directly for assessment?\",\"answer\":\"No. The example assessment briefs are for guidance and support only and are not to be used directly for assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"What should centres do to use an EAB appropriately?\",\"answer\":\"Centres should develop their own assignments and modify and revise the Example Assessment Brief to provide a sufficiently localised vocational context and assessment evidence requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the EABs support the assessment process for pass, merit, and distinction?\",\"answer\":\"The brief should provide students a clear opportunity to achieve pass, merit, or distinction by engaging in an assignment that evidences required knowledge and skills through the learning outcomes.\"}]","BTEC Higher Nationals Applied Sciences Example Assessment Briefs - First teaching from September 2019 | PDF",1792472524,108]
