Last updated

General Info

Once each graph or table is loaded you can

  • Press the ‘Print’ button to print out all the current tables / graphs
  • Press the ‘Freeze’ button to save the current view and then any changes will create a new graph above. This is particularly useful when you want to compare things across years etc.

Data

There is a large number of different data formats that can be viewed in this mode.

  • NCEA Credits
    The numbers in this graph represent the number of credits that have been gained at each level
  • NCEA Course Credit Distribution
    The numbers in this graph represent the number of students who have gained the specified number of credits in each course.
  • NCEA Course Pass
    The numbers in this graph represent the number of students who have gained at least the required number of credits at the specified level or higher. This number can be set individually for each course using the coursedepartment.csv file.
  • NCEA Credit Distribution
    The numbers in this graph represent the number of students who have gained a total number of credits this year inside the range specified
  • NCEA Level 1 Pass, NCEA Level 2 Pass, NCEA Level 3 Pass
    The numbers in this graph represent the number of students that have passed the year, or have got a Merit or Excellence Endorsement… note: the Endorsement figures are calculated by NZQA directly and not by KAMAR, so unless you have downloaded this information into KAMAR it will only show pass / fails (this is quite common part way through the year) eg:

    It is highly recommended that you filter the data by year level before selecting this view.
  • NCEA Level 1/2/3 Pass (Y11/12/13)
    This graph is very similar to the last, except it chooses to display Level 1 for Year 11, Level 2 for Year 12 and Level 3 for Year 13 students.
  • NCEA Level 1, 2 and 3 Credits, NCEA Level 2 and 3 Credits, NCEA Level 3 Credits
    The numbers in this graph show the number of credits passed in the levels indicated by the title.
    This is to easily allow you to show Year 11s Level 1, 2 and 3 credits as all credits count towards Level 1 and similar for Year 12 students sitting Level 2 you want to display Level 2 and 3 credits.
  • Count of Subject Based NAME Assessments
    The numbers in this graph represent the number of assessments that students have passed at the specified level.
    It will only display assessments where the grades are one of the standard NCEA grades as shown by the key on the right
  • Attendance
    This shows a graduated colour scale of students who have the 3 different attendance levels.

  • GPA Table
    This table shows the GPA for Year 11, 12 and 13 (weighting of 4 points for each Excellence Credit, 3 for each Merit, 2 for each Achieved and 0 for each Not Achieved)
    Note: you can filter these by department as well if you want to look at progression in just one department.
  • GPA Table – Percentile / Percentile Change
    This table shows the percentile of the student based on the GPA for Year 11, 12 and 13 (weighting of 4 points for each Excellence Credit, 3 for each Merit, 2 for each Achieved and 0 for each Not Achieved)… 100% is the top student, 0% is the bottom student. This compares students to just the students in their own cohort (eg: all the students who were Year 11 in 2016 are compared to the other Year 11s in 2016, but not the Year 11s from other years). This makes it an objective position of the student relative to their peers over time.
    Note: you can filter these by department as well if you want to look at progression in just one department.

    This becomes a lot more powerful if junior an entry data is included (see example below)

    This shows the same information as in the Percentile table, but rather than showing just the raw percentiles it shows the change in percentile, and highlights the changes either Red or Blue. Red means the student’s position in relation to their peers has gone down, blue means it has gone up. The darker the colour the more extreme the change. The example above shows data included based on entry (PAT) and Year 9 and 10. If you want to incorporate your junior data into these then let me know ([email protected])
    Note: you can filter these by department as well if you want to look at progression in just one department.
  • Custom Table
    This view allows you to build a custom table with any extra student info or assessment results.
    To add in the assessment info you must type in part of the standard / assessment number or title.

Year

This selects what year you want to display the data for.

Display

There are a number of different ways to present data in assay3.

Below is an example of each of the displays using exactly the same data and filters:

  • 100% Bar Graph
  • Bar Graph
  • Column Charts
  • Column Charts – Fixed Axis
  • Pie Charts
  • Students Table
  • Table

Split

You can split the data by a number of different variables:

  • None: no split occurs
  • Assessment Level: splits by the level of the standard
  • Assessment Name: splits by name of the standard
  • Assessment Number: splits by number of the standard
  • Attendance: splits by attendance in 10% bands
  • Department: splits by the department the assessment was in
  • Ethnicity: splits by students’ ethnicity
  • Ethnicity Level 2: splits by students’ Level 2 ethnicity (more detailed eg: Samoan rather than Pasifika)
  • Gender: splits by students’ gender
  • Half Year (various): splits by the months shown.
  • House: splits by students’ house
  • ID – Student: splits by student
  • Internal / External: splits by weather the assessment was an internal / external
  • Student Type: splits by students’ type… eg: RE, FF etc.
  • Subject: splits by the course the results were gained in
  • Subject Level: splits by the level the assessment was in
  • Teacher: splits by the teacher that is timetabled to the course in which the assessment took place
  • Teacher (Subject): splits by the teacher and class that is timetabled to the course in which the assessment took place
  • Tutor Group: splits by students’ tutor group
  • Year Level: splits by students’ year level

Filters

There are all of the splits above included as filters plus:

  • Group: allows you to choose to look only at a particular group (as set in the groups module of KAMAR)
  • In Class: results for all students in a particular teacher subject pair regardless of what subject the result came from
  • Result: allows you to only look at particular results eg: only Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit and Excellence
