Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last. • Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. • Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. • There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately. • All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. • Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited. • When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted. • Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response. Question Number Answer Mark 1(a) Award 1 mark for stating how secondary research was carried out, and the second mark for explaining how this helped choose the citizenship action (AO2), e.g: • We looked at the YouGov website to look at opinion polls and find out what people’s attitudes towards issue XXX were (1) to find out whether or not our personal beliefs about XXX were common and whether or not we would be able to realistically change people’s minds (1) • I used the search function on social media sites like Twitter to find out what was trending related to issue XXX (1) to help decide if our proposed issue and action would be something people would be interested in donating to/participating in (1) • I looked at examples of previous citizenship actions in our school that had been successful (1) to check what actions had already been completed so that we didn’t repeat something that had already been done (1) • I read about examples of citizenship actions in newspapers (1) That had made a difference to peoples lives / opinions (1) Do not accept generic answers that do not clearly relate to the candidate’s own specific citizenship action, e.g. ‘I read a newspaper article’ (2) Question Number Answer Mark 1(b) In each case, award 1 mark for each reason stated (AO2) and the second mark for further development of why that was more strongly persuasive e.g.: • The results of our survey of students in our school told us which issue would be most popular (1) which showed us what issue to focus on in order to be achieve our goals. (1) • Viewpoints about XXX that matched our personal viewpoints made it easier to write our awarenessraising presentation (1) because we could make more the presentation more convincing and passionate and so make a difference by gaining more support for XXX (1) • Considering the variety of views about XXX helped us plan for difficult questions or problems that might be raised by the people in power who our action on XXX was aimed at (1) which meant that we could plan our answers in advance and/or suggest solutions to the problems raised that would allow our action to work (1) Do not accept generic answers that do not clearly relate to the candidate’s own specific citizenship action, e.g. ‘we found out what lots of people thought about XXX’ (4) Question Number Answer Mark 1(c) Award 1 mark for the reason given (AO2) and the second mark for further development of why collaborating with others during a citizen action may be challenging e.g.: • Collaborating with others can be challenging if one person has a very strong opinion about what the action should be about (1) because it may be difficult to come to an agreement on the topic to choose (1) • Collaborating with others can be challenging if there are too many people in your group (1) because there may not be enough jobs for everyone to do and so people misbehave or lose motivation (1) • Collaborating with others can be challenging if you are made to work in a group with people you don’t know/like (1) because this may increase the chances of conflict within the group and make your action less effective and less likely to make a difference (1) Do not accept generic answers that do not clearly relate to the candidate’s own specific citizenship action, e.g. ‘it’s hard to work with other people’ (4) Question Number Answer Mark 1(d) In each case, award 1 mark for the method stated (AO2) and the second mark for further development of how that helped evaluate the extent to which you achieved your goals e.g.: • We measured the impact of our action/if we had achieved our goals through collating surveys/interviews (1) which showed us whether we had managed to affect the specific area/issue/group of people that we wanted to deliver change for (1) • We kept records of how much attendance/media coverage of our event we had to check if we had achieved our goal (1) this showed that our aim to raise awareness/persuade our target audience about [describes/names the chosen issue/change desired] was/was not achieved (1) • Throughout the planning stages we had a checklist of goals we discussed regularly and amended (1) to make sure our overall action actually took place and had more chance of succeeding achieve (1) • We kept records of how much we spent/raised during our citizenship action so we could check how much we spent against how much we raised to find out if we were successful (1) because we knew that we needed to raise a certain amount of money to make a difference to XXX so we could then do YYY with the money raised (1) Do not accept generic answers that do not clearly relate to the candidate’s own specific citizenship action, e.g. ‘money was raised/people knew more about it’ (4) Question Number Indicative content 1(e) Marking instructions Markers must apply the descriptors in line with the general marking guidance and the qualities outlined in the mark scheme for AO2 and AO3 below. These two assessment objectives should be considered together; the general marking guidance shows how to deal with answers that demonstrate abilities at different levels for each assessment objective. No marks may be awarded for answers that do not relate specifically to the candidate’s own citizenship action (i.e. a complete absence of AO2). AO2 and AO3 are equally weighted: answers that do not display any qualities associated with AO3 cannot be awarded more than 6 marks. Indicative content guidance Candidates must consider the statement in the light of experiences and knowledge gained during their own citizenship activity. Points made will depend to a great extent on the candidate’s own experiences, but might include some of ideas below. Other relevant ideas must also be credited. Points in support may include: • Lack of planning may mean that some parts of the action get missed out, causing it to fail to make a difference • Lack of planning may mean that some people end up with too much work to do so fail to complete all their tasks • Lack of planning may mean that the chosen action clashes with another event or cannot be held because of lack of permission • Lack of planning may mean that the methods chosen are not appropriate for the goals set, so cannot work Counter points may include: • A successful action may take place with spontaneous action rather than thorough planning e.g. collecting signatures on a petition to show support for an issue • Other factors may be more significant in preventing goals from being achieved e.g. lack of leadership • Failure to achieve goals may be caused by a lack of support from people in power for the chosen action- no amount of planning can resolve this • An action can be very well planned and organised but still fail to achieve goals such as making a difference to XXX Accept any other valid answer. Level Mark Descriptor 0 No rewardable material. Level 1 1–4 • Limited knowledge is shown of concepts, terms and issues relevant to the question. Limited understanding of how these apply is shown by simple undeveloped comment about the citizenship action. [AO2] • Little analysis of relevant viewpoints. The evaluation is undeveloped, lacking reasoned, coherent arguments. Parts of the answer lack relevance. An overall judgement is missing or asserted. [AO3] Level 2 5–8 • Some knowledge is shown about the concepts, terms and issues relevant to the question. Some understanding of how these apply is shown by some developed comment about the citizenship action. [AO2] • Some analysis of relevant viewpoints, but unsustained and focused mainly on one side of the argument. The evaluation contains some reasoned, coherent arguments. The answer is generally relevant, but lac [Show More]
