Controlled Assessment
This presentation gives general guidance on controlled assessment for GCSE Computer Science.And linking this to GCSE ICT.
A Reminder -
This is from our ‘Getting Ready to Teach’ presentation: Practical programming – Assesses Topics 1 & 2– Single context, 3 tasks– 15 hours, medium control– A new task published in January each year– Choice of three programming languages–No internet access–Digital submission
3
Remember - Level of Control (see p20 Spec)
• Task setting: High Level– Pearson sets the task
• Task Taking: Medium Control– Students work alone–Must be supervised– Teachers can help students to understand rubrics,
assessment criteria and controlled conditions– Students’ work must be saved and stored
4
Getting ready for the Controlled Assessment - Summary
• Know the Specification
• Use the Sample Assessment Material
• Use the Exemplar, and the Mark Scheme
• Take a holistic approach
• Use Moderators’ reports
5
Know the Specification
The CA covers Topics 1 and 2
• But remember the exam paper will cover ALL Topics–Over the lifetime of the spec
6
Use the Sample AssessmentMaterial
• Prepare them– So there are no surprises
• Can they do everything asked for in the requirements?– i.e. tick them off?
• Can they follow the guidance on how to save/present their work?
7
Use the Exemplar Mark Scheme
• There is no reason why you can’t go through this with your students
• Do a mapping exercise– Task– Specification–Mark scheme
8
Holistic approach to marking
• Where does a task ‘fit’ in the mark scheme?–Which level?
• Make sure you can justify your marks – use the marking criteria
9
Use Moderators’ reports
• These will be available for June 2015 series– Use the support on the website
• But you can have a look at other exams to see if there are any ‘patterns’ you can identify– Previous Moderators’ reports for ICT
10
GCSE ICT
• Same as for Computer Science
• Resources to help you have been building up over the product cycle– Lesson resources– Exemplars– Past training content○ Feedback ○ Standardisation
–Moderators’ reports○ Your own centre reports
• And use the Controlled Assessment Teacher Support Book 2012
