Assessment

Agribusiness is a multidisciplinary subject, which has strong connections with other learning areas.

Opportunities exist for links to be made between Agribusiness and other learning programmes. Due to the flexibility of the New Zealand Curriculum many learning areas achievement standards have aspects of the Agribusiness learning objectives and indicators.  It is therefore possible to not only assess using the Agribusiness Achievement Standards but to also assess using other learning areas with existing achievement standards, much like the Vocational Pathways.

There are three ways in which teachers could assess their course:

  1. Assess the complete Agribusiness learning area in a level 2 and/or 3 Agribusiness programme as standalone courses.
  2. Assess individual unit of works from the level 2 and/or 3 Agribusiness learning area within their own existing courses.
  3. Assess individual unit of works from other domains (that is, Geography, Science, Accounting etc) that have been re-contextualised into new Agribusiness contexts into an Agribusiness programme or in to their own existing courses.

Using the Agribusiness achievement standards

The Agribusiness learning area could be assessed using the Agribusiness achievement standards. This could be done in two ways:

  1. Assess the complete Agribusiness learning area using the level 2 and/or 3 Agribusiness achievement standards as standalone courses.
  2. Assess individual unit of works from the level 2 and/or 3 Agribusiness learning area within their own existing courses.
