The increasing 'convergence' of general and vocational education at the senior secondary level in Queensland has seen a large number of teachers become involved, many for the first time, in competency-based assessment. Research conducted by the Queensland Board of Senior Secondary School Studies has suggested many teachers would like more information about how other teachers decide when a student is competent. The present study aims to contribute to the discussion of this topic by providing information obtained from a small number of teachers in schools and institutes of TAFE. While reporting on what teachers have said about how they decide competency, this discussion paper raises some significant questions about assessment practices and the interpretation of industry standards.
