You will then be told which samples are needed for external moderation and these will need to be sent electronically to the external moderator to arrive by 20 April. The computer does not know which teacher has taught (or marked) each student so it is important that the marking is internally standardized. This is because the same moderation factor determined from the sample will be applied to all the chemistry students in the school at both Higher Level and Standard Level. Clearly, if you are in a small school and you teach all the HL and SL students on your own, this is not a problem. However for most schools the chemistry teachers will need to agree on how to carry out the internal standardization.</p><hr class="hidden"></div><hr class="hidden"><div class="greenBg"><h1>Suggestions for how to undertake internal standardization</h1><p>In one way this is slightly easier than under the old programme as there is only one piece of work to be standardized, in another way it is harder. This is because the marking is &lsquo;best fit&rsquo; and each piece of work will be very different whereas previously many students were doing similar or identical practicals and more of a &lsquo;tick list&rsquo; approach could be applied.</p><p>There are several different ways in which internal standardization can be achieved. Each have their advantages and disadvantages and the way you choose may depend upon several factors. These include the total number of students submitting an Individual Scientific Investigation, the number of teachers who have been involved in teaching the SL and HL chemistry classes and the experience of the chemistry teachers involved.</p><hr class="hidden"><h3><strong>1.</strong> <strong>All involved teachers mark all the investigations</strong></h3><p>Once all the completed investigations have been handed in each teacher marks them and the average mark is taken. The advantages include the fact that all the work has been seen and assessed by all the teachers. The main disadvantage is that with large cohorts a lot of marking for each teacher is involved. There is also the problem about which teacher will make written comments regarding how the marks have been arrived at on each student&rsquo;s investigation. It is not mandatory that comments are made but it does help the external moderators if they can see some evidence of how the teachers have arrived at their marks. It might be confusing though if several teachers, rather than just one, make the comments.</p><hr class="hidden"><h3><strong>2. One teacher marks all the investigations</strong></h3><p>This places a lot of work on one particular teacher but has the advantage that the same one person is marking all the work. You might consider this way if one of the teachers is much more experienced than the others in the department. For example, he or she may be retained by the IB as an IA moderator and have undergone examiner training or at least have experience of attending an IA workshop where their standard of marking was in line with the &lsquo;official&rsquo; IB standard. Provided he or she is consistent then it is fair to the students although possibly some unintentional bias may creep in, as they will be more familiar with their own students&rsquo; work and idiosyncrasies than the work of students they do not teach. It does mean a lot of work for one person, as they will also have to write the comments on all the students&rsquo; investigation too.</p><hr class="hidden"><h3><strong>3. The &lsquo;ideal&rsquo; way?</strong></h3><p>This may be the best way in terms of both genuine standardization and training to ensure that all the Diploma chemistry teachers in the school are marking to the same standard. Once all the investigations have been written and handed in, all the teachers mark two or three of the investigations. The teachers then compare their marking and discuss fully how they have awarded their marks. They then repeat the exercise with two or three more students&rsquo; investigations. Hopefully they will be in much closer agreement as they are now applying a similar standard. Once everyone is happy that they are all marking to approximately the same standard each teacher then marks their own students&rsquo; investigations and writes comments on their own students&rsquo; work. This has the advantage that after going through the process the teachers are all marking to approximately the same agreed standard and so the exercise does not necessarily have to be repeated every year. It does assume though that every teacher can consistently apply the same standard even though the investigations may be very different, particularly when some may be &lsquo;hands on&rsquo; and others may rely solely on secondary data.</p><hr class="hidden"></div><hr class="hidden"><div class="pinkBg"><h1>Reviewing your method of internal standardization</h1><p>Whichever way you choose it will be helpful if all the teachers involved can meet together to review the standardization process after the results have been announced. From the component marks you can work out how close your marking was to the actual marks received, i.e. you can calculate the school&#39;s moderation factor. This is likely to be in two parts - a multiplication factor and a plus or minus factor. This explains why, for example, the higher marks may be moderated lower than you awarded whereas the bottom marks may be moderated higher than you awarded etc. rather than them all being marked up or down by a similar amount. For example, a moderation factor of 0.8 + 3.0 lowers a mark of 24 to 22.2 but raises a mark of 10 to 11 whereas a moderation factor of 1.1 &minus; 2.0 leaves a mark of 20 unchanged but lowers a mark of 10 to 9. The perfect moderation factor, which changes none of the marks, is 1.0 + 0. Be slightly wary of the written feedback you will receive. This is because it will be written by the first external moderator who sees your students&#39; work and they themselves may be moderated up or down to bring them into line with the Principal examiner&#39;s marks. The written feedback may well be very useful but it can at times be frustrating when it highlights no serious problems and yet the marks have been moderated down, or conversely when it does highlight some problems and yet the work is moderated up as does sometimes happen.</p><hr class="hidden"></div></section></article><section id="media-extras"><div class="page-actions no-print navbar inline hidden-desktop"><div class="navbar-inner"><ul class="nav"><li><a class="presentation" href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-desktop"></i></a></li><li><a class="print-section-blog" href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-print"></i></a></li><li><a class="page-bookmarker" data-ticket="IB Docs (2) Team" data-pid="19882" href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-star"></i></a></li><li><a class="personal-notes" href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-file-text"></i></a></li><li><a class="" data-toggle="modal" href="#modal-feedback" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i></a></li><li class="dropdown"><a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target="#" href="#"><i class="fa fa-share-alt"></i></a><ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu"><li><a class="" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/share?text=%22Internal+standardization+of+the+IA%22+-+via+%40InThinker+%23chemistry%0A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fchemistry%2Fpage%2F19882%2Finternal-standardization-of-the-ia"><i class="fa fa-twitter-square"></i><span>Twitter</span></a></li><li><a class="" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fchemistry%2Fpage%2F19882%2Finternal-standardization-of-the-ia&t=Internal+standardization+of+the+IA"><i class="fa fa-facebook-square"></i><span>Facebook</span></a></li><li><a class="" href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fchemistry%2Fpage%2F19882%2Finternal-standardization-of-the-ia"><i class="fa fa-linkedin-square"></i><span>LinkedIn</span></a></li><li><a class="" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fchemistry%2Fpage%2F19882%2Finternal-standardization-of-the-ia"><i class="fa fa-google-plus-square"></i><span>Google +</span></a></li><li><a class="" href="mailto:?subject=Internal standardization of the IA&body=IB chemistry teachers standardizing a student's investigation at an IB workshopWhen it actually comes to marking your students’ Individual Scientific Investigations remember that you will need to send digitally to the...%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fchemistry%2Fpage%2F19882%2Finternal-standardization-of-the-ia"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i><span>Email</span></a></li></ul></li><li><a class="" href="chemistry/teaching-materials"><i class="fa fa-puzzle-piece colored"></i></a></li></ul></div></div><div style="border-top: solid 1px #eee;border-bottom: solid 1px #eee;padding: 4px 0 4px 0;line-height: 1em;color: #666;font-size: .8em"><small><em>All materials on this website are for the exclusive use of teachers and students at subscribing schools for the period of their subscription.
