In considering if a student’s work is their own, teachers should consider if the work: • is atypical of other work produced by the student • is inconsistent with the teacher’s knowledge of the student’s ability • contains unacknowledged material • has not been sighted and monitored by the teacher during its development.
Authentication Requirements for SATs SATs assess specific sets of practical skills and knowledge and are used to measure a student’s level of achievement in Units 3 and 4 outcomes as specified in the relevant study design. As part of the authentication process through observations, teachers are required to provide feedback to students on work in progress for a SAT at observation points throughout the SAT. These comments are to be noted on the Authentication Record Form. In addition, after the SAT has been submitted and marked, teachers provide feedback to students on their level of achievement. This is also documented on the Authentication Record Form. Teachers must follow the authentication advice in the relevant Administrative Information for School-Based Assessment for their VCE study to make sure no undue assistance is provided to students during the development of a SAT that might lead to uncertainty about the student’s authorship or ownership of the work.
