9.0 ASSESSMENT
Forms 1-3 Wood Technology and Design is assessed through continuous assessment. Form 4 is assessed
through continuous and summative assessment. Arrangements, modifications and provisions for the
assessment of candidates with special needs will be made to allow equal opportunities in accurate
performance and measurement of abilities. The scheme of assessment is based on the principle of inclusivity.
Forms 1-3 learners are required to design and realize one major community based project at each level as
continuous assessment. They are also required to write 1 major exercise per term based on theory sections,
1 major exercise per term based on drawing and design and carry out 1major practical exercise per term at
each level that should be submitted as continuous assessment at the end of each year. Form 4 learners are
also required to design and realize one major community based project as continuous assessment. They are
required to write 1 major exercise per term, in terms 1 and 2 based on theory sections, 1 major exercise per
term, in terms 1 and 2 based on drawing and design and carry out 1 major practical exercise per term, in
terms 1 and 2 that should be submitted as continuous assessment at the end of the year. The subject teacher
will set and mark the exercises, as well as record the marks using ZIMSEC guides.
ZIMSEC will also provide a template for the assessment of soft skills. Subject teachers will be required to
provide a file for each learner where each of the practical exercises and marked scripts will be kept. In addition,
subject teachers will also be required to create a file where exercises / question papers and marking guides
for each exercise administered as well as recorded marks will be kept. ZIMSEC and Ministry of Primary and
Secondary Education personnel will monitor the programme.
School heads will submit continuous assessment marks at the end of the year in Forms 1-4 as provided for
by ZIMSEC.
