3. Assessment tasks as learning tasks

Assessment tasks are not learning and teaching units, but they usually indicate what kind of learning should occur before students perform the assigned assessment tasks. Teachers make professional decisions about whether or not a certain task is appropriate for their students.

Each assessment task has the following information:

• Its importance for a country curriculum;

• Pre-requisite training is required;

• Several scaffolding activities are used to determine the circumstances in which the task can be performed;

• Resources to help students and teachers to accomplish their tasks;

• Assessment Bases for teachers' and students;

• Examples of workplace annotations;

• Offered further training.
