Program Progression

Program Structure and Fees

Handong Global University’s IB Educator Certificate program in teaching and learning has been fully recognized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). Upon completion of ALL FOUR COURSES comprising the IBEC program, students will submit a request for the official IBEC. In order to receive the IBEC from the IB organization, the learner will submit the to the IB organization via the email address in the form. Fees for the certificate which are paid to IBO and separate from any fees to HGU for the program.

Assessments are any tasks that are completed by the student to demonstrate their ability.

Two types of assessment approach will be used in the IBEC program:

Formative - assessment for learning

Summative - assessment of learning

Formative assessment will aim to provide detailed feedback on the nature of the student’s strengths and weaknesses, so that they can further develop their capabilities.

For the instructor, formative assessment will be used to inform them for future teaching of the knowledge, skills and understanding that students have yet to develop, rather than measuring the level of students’ achievement. This may be evident through the guide or support of the instructor during class discussions and/or direct interactions, and the modifications the instructor may make throughout the course of study.

Summative assessments will aim to measure what the student can do or achieve, demonstrating the completion of a task or the course. While formative assessment measures ‘why’ a student does something, summative assessment will measure whether they did it correctly.

A range of assessment tools will be used, that includes but is not limited to exam papers, short essays or research essays, written assignments, oral interviews, investigations, group projects, reflective journals, fieldwork projects and/or oral presentations that will be completed by candidates at various times under various conditions during their course.

Grading will follow the same guidelines and standards as HGU with the exception of ‘Recompletion’.
