6913 - COMPUTER MARKING OF NAPLAN TESTS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Education

What steps will the Government take to ensure that computer marking of persuasive writing pieces in NAPLAN tests does not disadvantage students?
Answer -

The NSW Education Standards Authority – NESA - is currently responsible for the marking of the NAPLAN writing scripts for NAPLAN paper tests for all New South Wales students. The scripts are marked by expert teacher markers within New South Wales.

NESA will review all evidence regarding automated marking as it becomes available. This will ensure that any potential use of automated essay scoring does not disadvantage students.
