The issue
Traditional marking and moderation are time-consuming and inaccurate. Marking work accurately is difficult. Moderators standardise the marks, but it’s hard to review more than a tiny fraction of scripts in a typical moderation session, and even agreeing on those is not easy. And the whole process is very time-consuming. There is another way...
What is Comparative Judgement?
Comparative Judgement assesses open-ended work more reliably than traditional marking.
Comparative judgement is a process where judges compare two responses and decide which is better. Following repeated comparisons, the resulting data is statistically modelled and responses placed on a scale of relative quality.
Research has shown the process to be as reliable as double marking, but much quicker.
