Implementation schedule

Year of

Examination Implementation of SBA

2018 Optional Trial – Schools can opt to submit SBA

marks for feedback from the HKEAA. The marks

submitted will not be counted towards the subject

result. Public examination results will constitute

100% of the final subject results.

Starting from

2019

Full Implementation – All schools will implement

SBA and submit marks to the HKEAA. The SBA

marks will contribute to 30% of the final subject

marks.

Weighting of SBA

• From 2019 Exam and onwards:

Subject information on SBA

http://www.hkeaa.edu.hk/en/sba/sub_info_sba/dse_subject.html?23

• The SBA design may be subject to further updates after feedback from schools and experience gained during the transition years.

• During the transition years, schools are expected to conduct the SBA activities as an integral part of learning and teaching and internal assessment as recommended in the Curriculum and Assessment Guide.

SBA Handbook for

Technology and Living

• to be published by September 2015

• provide detailed requirements, regulations, assessment criteria and guidelines

Pilot Study for SBA 2014-15 The pilot study aims to prepare teachers for a smooth transition to the implementation of SBA in 2019:

• familiarise teachers with the assessment requirements

• allow teachers to conduct SBA tasks and make trial assessments in light of the assessment rubrics

• provide feedback to teachers on how to achieve making SBA an integral part of learning and teaching via sharing sessions

• 2013-2014 (Food Science & Technology) • Project – Proposal

• 2 schools – Tak Oi Secondary School

Sacred Heart Canossian College

• Prescribed Task: 1 sample task ready for trial

• 2014-2015 • Project – Realisation and evaluation

• Prescribed task (experiment)

trying out the sample task developed

developing 2 more sample tasks

Sharing session

• Scheduled in June 2015

• Food Science and Technology:

– Sharing of experience about:

• Project : realisation and evaluation

• Assessing experiment

– Trial marking of reports
