National Curriculum assessments are a series of educational assessments, colloquially known as Sats〔(Sats for 14-year-olds abolished: Teachers and parents praise decision )〕 or SATs (see Terminology section),〔(Headteacher welcomes end of SATs )〕 used to assess the attainment of children attending maintained schools in England. They comprise a mixture of teacher-led and test-based assessment depending on the age of the pupils. This test is unrelated to the US college admission test, the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test or Scholastic Assessment Test). ==History== The tests were introduced over a period of several years, 1991–1998, for the purpose of testing seven-, eleven- and fourteen-year-olds on nationally regulated educational standards. Those for 14-year-olds were later abandoned. The tests for seven-year-olds were replaced by levels derived from teachers' own assessments.〔 All the tests were phased out in Wales between 2002 and 2005.〔 The assessments are completed at the end of each Key Stage and record attainment in terms of National Curriculum attainment levels, numbered between 1 and 8. The expectations for each stage are set out as follows: The national curriculum tests are developed by the Standards and Testing Agency (STA), which is an executive agency of the Department for Education. The STA was formed as part of the UK governments reformation of the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA) and the formation of Ofqual. The development of the tests is now regulated by government of the United Kingdom and by Ofqual. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Curriculum assessment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
