Formative assessment

The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in nature-based production and services when they use knowledge, skills and critical thinking to solve assignments in the programme subjects.

The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through a variety of assignments. The teacher can give assignments that cover multiple or all the programme subjects. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development within nature-based production and services. The pupils shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and reflect on their own academic development. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in the programme subject.


Assessment of coursework

The grades awarded for coursework reflect the overall competence of the pupil in nature-based production and services at the end of the education in the programme subject. The teacher plans and facilitates the pupils in demonstrating their competence in various ways. Using the competence aims as a starting point, the teacher shall assess how the pupil demonstrates understanding, reflection and critical thinking, and how the pupil masters challenges and solves assignments in various contexts. The teacher awards grades in nature-based production and services based on the competence the pupil has demonstrated by planning, completing, assessing and documenting their own academic work.
