Our conseiller p\u00e9dagogique? BIM?\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]In English as a Second Language, adult education centres are responsible for producing exams for ANG P101, 1101, 2101, 3101, 3102, and 3103. \u00a0These exams must be developed in accordance with the Definition of the Evaluation Domain (DED) that ensures provincial standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some school service centres mandate BIM to create exams and BIM only approves the exams that they develop.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the centre develops their own evaluations, it is done under centre director\u2019s responsibility. \u00a0The centre director must ensure the pedagogical supervision of teachers, in particular, with regard to the evaluation of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please refer to the Policy on the Evaluation of Learning<\/i><\/a> for more information.<\/span>
\nThe choice of evaluation that is used at a centre must be stated in the centre\u2019s Standards and Procedures<\/i> (Normes et modalit\u00e9s)<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-sanctioned exams may be written and\/or modified as long as the DED is respected and there is consensus by the school\u00a0service centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

February 2018<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=\u00a0\u00bbHas the Ministry created a placement test to evaluate students according to the new program such that it can evaluate all of the competencies?\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]The development of diagnostic tools, such as a placement test, is the responsibility of each centre. \u00a0The MEQ does not create these types of tools. \u00a0A diagnostic tool should allow the teacher to situate a student in the appropriate level according to the course competencies and families of learning situations targeted by the course. \u00a0Learning situations can be created or adapted for such diagnostic purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

February 2018<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=\u00a0\u00bbFor ANG 5101 and ANG 5102 can a student choose the subject of the evaluation?\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]Students may not choose the version of their evaluation, but in ANG 5101 and ANG 5102, they are asked to choose amongst three controversies in the evaluation version they are assigned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coordinating the administration of examinations is the responsibility of the person in charge of the certification of studies and the administration of ministerial examinations. \u00a0Administration of examinations must be in accordance with the Certification of Studies and Management of Ministerial Examinations<\/a> (Sanctions Guide). \u00a0This person is also responsible for the rotation of versions \u00a0(see Info\/Sanction 17-18-08<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

The procedure for administering examinations should be indicated in the centre\u2019s Standards and Procedures (Normes et modalit\u00e9s).<\/span><\/p>\n

February 2018<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=\u00a0\u00bbWhy does the MEQ only create evaluations for Secondary 4 and 5? What about evaluations for Pre-secondary, and Secondary 1, 2 and 3?\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]In order to obtain a secondary school diploma, certificate or attestation of studies, a student must earn credits in secondary 4 and 5. Therefore, the Ministry of Education is responsible for creating examinations for these two levels (referred to as sanctioned exams). \u00a0All of the examinations for the non-sanctioned levels (Pre-secondary, Secondary 1, 2 and 3) can be created by another agency or group, provided that they use the criteria from the Definition of the Evaluation Domain (DED) as a guideline.<\/span><\/p>\n

February 2018<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=\u00a0\u00bbMust distance education (FAD) students undergo evaluations in a centre?\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]Yes. All students in adult education must be evaluated under the same conditions, regardless of their type of attendance (in class, distance education, exam only or self study). \u00a0Therefore, all exams must be conducted at an adult education centre, which includes oral interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

February 2018<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=\u00a0\u00bbWhat happens if a student does not show up for his exam or if a student leaves during the exam?\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]Each center must determine the course of action for a student who was absent for an exam, and this course of action is to be outlined in the center\u2019s Standards and Procedures (Normes et modalit\u00e9s). \u00a0The Standards and Procedures of the center must respect the codes set out by the Ministry in the Administrative Guide-Certification of Studies and Management of Ministerial Examinations and within the pedagogical framework of the Charlemagne system. \u00a0For example, the code ABS indicates that the student was absent when the ministerial examination (Secondary 4\/5) or local examination (Pre-secondary and Secondary 1\/2\/3) was administered.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Charlemagne system, if a student leaves during the examination or if a student does not show up for part of the evaluation (i.e. the interaction part), the student must receive a result because he\/she has seen the exam. \u00a0The exam must be corrected and a result determined.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of the oral interaction in DBE courses, specifically in ANG 3101\/3102\/4101\/4102\/5101\/5102, if a if a student does not show up for or refuses to do the interaction, a mark of 0 would be assigned for the course.<\/span><\/p>\n

In CCBE (ANG P101\/1101\/2101), if a student does not show up for or refuses to do the oral interaction, a mark of 0 would be assigned for the oral interaction part of the exam and then a global mark would be determined based on this result combined with the result from the oral text comprehension, written text comprehension and writing part of the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n
