Scottish Qualifications Authority 4 Safe Road User Award
Assessment Exemplar SCQF Level 4 Safe Road User Award: Developing
Positive Road User Attitude F6V1 10
How to use an assessment exemplar An assessment exemplar
represents one example of how a Unit can be assessed. To encourage
flexibility of delivery and assessment, centres can either: adapt
the assessment context to suit the particular needs of candidates
in their
particular location or situation or develop a new assessment
item to meet the needs of their particular candidate
groups. When a centre devises a new assessment item, this should
be prior verified by SQA. Information about prior verification can
be found on the next page. When a centre makes minor adaptations to
an assessment item, this does not require prior verification. An
example would be changing the format of the pro forma to be used
with candidates.

Prior verification
-
Scottish Qualifications Authority 6 Safe Road User Award
Assessment Exemplar SCQF Level 4 Safe Road User Award: Developing
Positive Road User Attitude F6V1 10
Prior verification Prior verification is the process by which
centres seek validation of an internally produced assessment before
embarking on the Unit/Course to which it applies. Where the Outcome
of prior verification is successful, this process will ensure that
the Instruments of Assessment being used within the centre are
deemed by SQA to be valid, and that the checking of this aspect
during any verification exercise will not be required. Where
assessment exemplar materials have been used as a basis for an
internally devised assessment scheme or have been amended for a
centres particular purposes, centres should only submit these for
prior verification where significant changes have been made to the
published assessment exemplar. The only material eligible for prior
verification is assessment material before its use. Any material
not falling into this category will be returned without having been
scrutinised. Role of the centre When submitting an assessment
scheme for prior verification, centres must include: each
Instrument of Assessment materials which show what the candidates
are asked to do if Instrument of
Assessment is unclear on the tasks which have to be undertaken
to achieve the Outcomes/Performance Criteria
marking guidance showing how each Instrument of Assessment is to
be applied a completed prior verification request form. Prior
verification arrangements Centres requesting prior verification
must complete and submit the prior verification request form along
with the assessment scheme and any supporting documentation. A
separate form for each assessment scheme is required. Verifiers
will use the accompanying assessment scheme checklist when carrying
out prior verification/ validation. Once prior verification has
taken place SQA will inform the centre of the outcome within four
weeks of receipt. Role of the verifier The verifier will make a
decision on the centres Instrument of Assessment and marking
guidelines submitted for prior verification and will also provide
feedback to the centre on the validity of the assessment scheme,
including guidance where problems are identified.

Verification exercise When an Instrument of Assessment has been
successfully prior verified the material will be stamped with SQAs
validation mark. Where the assessment scheme is subsequently used
and the associated Unit is selected for verification, the stamped
version must be included with the candidate evidence
submitted/available for the verification exercise. This will
indicate to the verifier that the Instrument of Assessment has been
validated by SQA.

Organisation and conditions for assessment Using the Instruments
of Assessment The Instruments of Assessment devised for the
Developing Positive Road User Attitude Unit has been based on
established practice and delivery methods. Task 1 Explain how
attitudes of yourself and others can affect safe use. Task 2
Identify key factors to consider before setting out on a road
journey. Task 3 Explain the importance of cooperating and
communicating with other road
users.
Task Instrument of Assessment Delivery mechanism 1 Personal
learning agreement.
Electronic or paper based portfolio.
1 Personal learning record.
Electronic or paper based portfolio.
2, 3 Restricted response questions.
Electronic or paper based portfolio.
The Unit requires candidates to focus on their personal
characteristics and the ways in which these characteristics may
affect their behaviour when using the roads. Candidates will also
look at how good communication between road users can contribute to
road safety. To generate assessment evidence, candidates will go
through a process of personal and peer assessment (Task 1 in the
personal learning record) where they identify their personal
characteristics and the affect that they could have on their
ability to be safe road users. Using this information they will
complete a personal learning agreement where they identify which
characteristics they would benefit from developing. Candidates will
meet with their teacher/lecturer midway, and at the end of their
course to discuss their progress. In addition, candidates will
complete a further series of tasks in their personal learning
record where they look at key factors to consider before setting
out on a road journey, and the importance of cooperating and
communicating with other road users.

Timing and duration of assessment We recommend that centres
adopt an integrated approach to teaching and assessment and
therefore advise that assessment be carried out at appropriate
points during the delivery of the Unit, rather than as an end of
Unit test. This is best carried out by following the model which
follows and describes the two phases of candidate activity.
Task Instrument of Assessment
Timing and duration
1 Personal learning agreement.
Completed at the beginning, middle and end of the Unit.
1 Personal learning record. Ongoing throughout the practical
activities. Candidates will progress through this assessment at
their own speed.
2, 3 Restricted response questions.
Ongoing throughout the practical activities. Candidates will
progress through this assessment at their own speed.
It is important to recognise from the outset that adequate time
must be allocated midway and towards the end of the Unit to review
the personal learning agreement. Reassessment Time is allowed
within Units for the assessment and reassessment of tasks. Where a
candidate has not achieved the standard necessary to pass a
particular task or tasks, they should be given an opportunity to be
reassessed. Reassessment should focus on the task(s) concerned and
should be offered on a maximum of two occasions, following further
work on areas of difficulty. Evidence from the original assessment
should allow teachers/lecturers to identify why an individual
candidate has failed a particular task and to plan focused support
for learning. Where appropriate, candidates will be required to
resubmit original work which has been revised to take account of
earlier weaknesses.

Possible examples of when reassessment might be required include
the following:
Task Instrument of Assessment
Problem and Action
1 Personal learning agreement.
Not enough detail in the personal learning agreement. Candidates
should be given the opportunity to complete relevant sections.
Failure to complete midway or final review of personal learning
agreement. Candidates should be given a further opportunity to
carry out the review.
1 Personal learning record.
Incomplete sections in personal learning record. Candidates
should be given the opportunity to complete relevant sections.
2 and 3 Restricted response questions.
Incomplete or inaccurate responses. Candidates should be given
the opportunity to amend any errors following further consolidation
and remediation. An alternative assessment may be provided.
Conditions under which assessment take place To ensure
reliability and credibility, assessment should be carried out under
controlled conditions. This means that the assessment evidence
should be compiled in class under supervision to ensure that it is
the candidates own work. However candidates may have access to
relevant resource materials and will interact with other members of
their class when carrying out activities such as the peer review.
Supervision may be carried out be a teacher/lecturer, invigilator
or other responsible person.

gained so far from doing this Course? I have gained an insight into
how my personal characteristics and attitudes can affect other road
users. I am aware that I can be slightly aggressive or impatient
and this behaviour might impact on the safety of other road users.
(ii) What characteristics/behaviours/attitudes have you been
developing? I have been trying to ensure that I am controlling
aggression and trying to be more patient. (iii) Have they changed?
Give some details. Whilst I did not think that I was aggressive,
some of the activities undertaken in the course did let me see that
at times I can be impatient and sometimes my behaviour can appear
as aggressive. I have asked people to point out to me when they
think I am being aggressive and I am also trying to be more
patient, counting to 10 when things go wrong. (iv) What difference
will this make to you when using the roads? This will hopefully
make me a more tolerant and less aggressive driver so ensuring safe
driving for myself and others. (v) What will you do now? I will
continue to monitor my levels of aggression and when I start my

Learning agreement final review Section D (i) What have you
gained from doing this Course? I have gained an understanding of
how a persons attitudes and characteristics can affect not only
their own safety when driving, but that of other road users. I have
learned that I have some positive characteristics which should make
me a good driver, but other qualities that may result in me being a
danger to myself or other road users. (ii) What
characteristics/behaviours/attitudes did you want to develop on
this
Course? I wanted to control my aggression and impatience. (iii)
Have they changed? Give some details. Now that I am aware that I
can display aggressive characteristics, people have worked with me
to tell me when I am displaying these signs. I have also tried to
be more patient when in stressful situations or when feeling
frustrated. (iv) What difference will this make to you when using
the roads? This will hopefully make me a more patient and less
stressed driver. Being impatient can trigger aggression and if I am
able to control these it will make me a better driver and more
aware of how my actions might impact on other people/road
users.

Positive Road User Attitude F6V1 10
Question 6 It is possible that the behaviour of other road users
may upset you. Your safety and the safety of others are dependent
on how you respond to this. (a) State an action of another road
user which you think could make you angry. Driving too close to the
rear of vehicle in front of you not keeping safe
driving distance. (b) How would you react to this? I would keep
my distance from the car in front of me and I would try not
to brake unexpectedly or suddenly in case the car behind crashed
into me. (c) Is your reaction likely to keep you and others,
including the offending road user,
safe? (Give a reason for your answer). Yes because I am acting
in a non aggressive way and trying to counteract
the unsafe behaviour of other drivers. (d) If you answered no to
the previous question, state what you think the safest
reaction would be. (Give a reason for your answer.) Where this
section is answered candidates should identify a reaction which
would ensure safe road use.
