  1. RARPA Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement in non-accredited learning

  2. The staged process has been designed to: Focus on and promote the needs and interests of learners; Take account of learners’ diverse and sometimes multiple purposes in learning; Allow for negotiation of the content and outcomes of learning programmes Encourage learners to reflect on and recognise their own progress and achievement, thus increasing their confidence;

  3. The staged process has been designed to: Promote and support informed learner self-assessment, peer assessment and dialogue about learning and achievement between learners and tutors/trainers; Enable both the achievement of planned learning objectives and learning outcomes not specified at the outset to be recognised and valued; Promote good practice in teaching, learning and assessment Enhance providers’ quality assurance and improvement practices.

  4. The RARPA staged process comprises five elements: • Aims appropriate to an individual learner or groups of learners • Initial assessment to establish the learner’s starting point • Identification of appropriately challenging learning objectives • Recognition and recording of progress and achievement during programme (formative assessment) • End of programme learner self-assessment; tutor summative assessment; review of overall progress and achievement.

  5. Clearly stated aims For the programme/learning activity • Clear simple course outlines/descriptors • Easily understood intended learning outcomes • Information on resources needed (if any) • Information on any pre-requisites for participation in the programme • How you will know what you have learned

  6. Initial Assessment • Record of outcomes of process of establishing learners’ starting points • Previous knowledge and experience • Limiting factors or inhibitions • Practical support needs • Personal aspects of why the learner is there and concerns they may have

  7. Individual Challenging Goals • Clearly stated and suitably challenging objectives for all programmes and, wherever feasible, individually • In addition to the learning aim the learner may have their own goals and reasons – the tutor needs to be aware of these to make the learning effective • Additional ‘soft’ outcomes around increased confidence, social skills, personal goals.

  8. Formative Assessment and Feedback: Evidence • Records of learner self-assessment, group and peer assessment, tutor records of assessment activities and individual or group progress and achievement. • Learners’ files, journals, diaries, portfolios, artwork, • Videos, audiotapes, performances, exhibitions • Displays, individual or group learner testimony, • Artefacts, photographs and other forms of evidence

  9. Summative Assessment • Learner’s self assessment • Tutor assessment • Peer reviews • Group reviews • Joint reviews • Learner satisfaction outcomes • Other information that can be collected

  10. Quality Assurance • Learners’ outcomes • End of programme/activity review • Self Assessment • Quality improvement actions The common inspection framework • Inspection
