MSE9 ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
The Monitoring Standards in Education Year 9
assessment program (MSE9) is a curriculum-based assessment that is
criterion-referenced and tests students' knowledge and skills in
English, Mathematics and Science. The MSE9 assessment is
administered annually and provides schools with student and school
level information.
Monitoring Standards in Education (MSE) is part
of the Standards and Moderation Directorate in the Department of
Education and Training, Western Australia.
A cornerstone of the
Department of Education and Training's operations is to ensure
quality education provision to all students, irrespective of their
background or geographical location. As part of these operations,
MSE conducts two other assessment programs: the Random Sample
assessment program and the Western Australian Literacy and Numeracy
Assessment (WALNA) program.
The MSE9 program has the innovative and
authentic assessment attributes of the Monitoring Standards in
Education assessment materials. The results will be statistically
equated to the existing MSE WAMSE scale, which allows the valid
comparison of performance from different year levels and performance
over time.
