Otolaryngology - Sinonasal Tumours Classification and Staging
Otolaryngology in relation to sinonasal tumours involves classification into benign and malignant groups based on types like epithelial and non-epithelial tumors. The staging system for these tumors includes UICC classifications and criteria specific to maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Clinical features such as nasal discharge, facial swelling, gum or palate ulcers, and pain are outlined. Visual aids illustrate the different stages and characteristics of sinonasal tumors.

Agenda Why choose our specification The GCSE reforms Changes to all GCSEs in Statistics Our new GCSE (9 1) qualification: Overview Content Assessment Support Contact details and next steps
The specification and sample assessment materials can be found here: http://quals.pearson.com/stats17
Statistics for the real world Straightforward assessment structure Content that develops transferable skills Clear and familiar course content and approach Question papers that support a range of abilities Support resources to help you plan, teach, track and assess
Why teach GCSE Statistics? The world is awash with data. It is estimated that 2.5 1018 bytes of data are created every day Economies increasingly are data dependent and use data-intensive technologies: government, finance, manufacturing, health, education, media, banking, retail, science, sports, The ability to make sense of data is an essential skill for working life and full citizenship in a modern society GCSE Statistics develops key transferable skills which students take into their other studies and their wider lives GCSE Statistics counts in a slot of the open element of Progress 8
Overview of the changes GCSE Statistics is changing for first teaching 2017 and first assessment 2019. The regulatory reforms impacting all GCSEs are: Fully linear structure Updated subject content (from the DfE) and assessment requirements (from Ofqual) General increase in level of demand and challenge, including extended response questions New 9 to 1 grading scale Tiering only in certain subjects (includes Statistics) Non-examination assessment permitted only where it is the only valid option No change to guided learning hours (120 glh)
The new 91 grading scale Broadly the same proportion of students will achieve grade 4 and above as currently achieve grade C and above Broadly the same proportion of students will achieve grade 7 and above as currently achieve grade A and above The bottom of grade 1 will be aligned to the bottom of grade G Strong pass Standard pass Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/465873 /your_qualification_our_regulation.pdf
The change timeline 2016 2017 2018 2019 Current specification Last 2-year course commences Last 1-year course commences Last assessment opportunity New specification First teaching of 2-year course First teaching of 1-year course First assessment opportunity The last available assessment for the current GCSE Statistics is summer 2018 The reformed GCSEs will be reported in the 2019 performance tables
Changes to all GCSEs in Statistics
Tiering Ofqual has approved the retention of tiering for GCSE Statistics. The approach to tiering follows that of GCSE (9 1) Mathematics Foundation tier: will span grades 1 to 5 (five grade range) students will be assessed on content in standard and underlined type papers will reach a higher level of demand than current papers Higher tier: will span grades 4 to 9 (six grade range) students will be assessed on all content papers will: start at a higher level of demand and reach a higher level of demand than current papers
Content changes Increased exam emphasis on knowledge related to data collection: planning an investigation, design constraints, populations and sampling, controlling variables, minimising distortion, cleaning data, acknowledging sources, etc. Expectation that students will use correct statistical terminology and notation including formal notation for probability Some new topics at each tier, especially at Higher tier Some additional formulae to be used, or learnt and used, at each tier Overlap with GCSE Mathematics reduced
Assessment changes New assessment objectives Controlled assessment has been removed. All new GCSEs in Statistics will be assessed entirely by written examination Understanding of the statistical enquiry cycle will be assessed in written form Target assessment objective weightings (with small ranges permissible)
Impact of the changes I There is some increase in the amount of content to cover at each tier, especially Higher: May have implications for teaching time and delivery models Removal of controlled assessment: Frees up curriculum time to cover the new content requirements Continuing to incorporate some practical work will support students with AO3 questions
Impact of the changes II Increase in demand of the assessment: Tier choice criteria may need to be reconsidered, especially for borderline students Inclusion of extended response questions: Strategies to support students including those with EAL and literacy needs Some increase in the number of formulae to be learnt: Strategies may be needed to support some students The increase in subject breadth and depth: Some non-specialist teachers may benefit from CPD
Our approach Our approach has been to develop a Statistics qualification that: you will know and recognise is clear about content coverage will support you in developing students statistical understanding and transferable skills To achieve this we have worked with the teaching community, higher education and statistics educationalists to design our new qualification We have gathered over 300 sets of views and had more than 80 conversations with statistics teachers and educationalists We have trialled our new questions with over 250 students.
Our design principles Straightforward assessment structure Two papers of equal size, length and weighting All content and AOs targeted equally in both papers Content that develops transferable skills Develops understanding of how to interpret and apply data Supports skills development for progression in a wide range of subjects including A Level Mathematics Clear and familiar course content and approach Clear content coverage with plenty of guidance Structure follows that of the current specification for ease of use Question papers that support a range of abilities Clear questions and presentation of data Careful ramping within questions, across papers and between tiers Engaging real-life statistical material and contexts Support resources to help you plan, teach, track and assess
Specification overview Available at Foundation tier and Higher tier Paper Content overview Summary of assessment Paper 1 (50%) 1 hour 30 mins 80 marks 1. The collection of data 2. Processing, representing and analysing data 3. Probability All assessment objectives targeted Paper 2 (50%) 1 hour 30 mins 80 marks 1. The collection of data 2. Processing, representing and analysing data 3. Probability All assessment objectives targeted
Content overview The specification content has been updated in line with the DfE subject content Our specification sets out Foundation and Higher tier content separately and we tell you where topics are not required at Foundation Organisation of content within each tier: follows that of the current specification reflects the sequence of the statistical enquiry cycle.
Statistical enquiry cycle Through using the SEC students need to: 1. Understand the importance of initial planning 2. Recognise the constraints in sourcing appropriate data 3. Understand ways that data can be processed and presented including through use of technology 4. Interpret results in context 5. Understand importance of clear and concise communication
Content changes Foundation Topics new to Foundation tier include: Context sensitivity as a source of bias Judgement, convenience and quota sampling RPI, CPI Rates of change over time e.g. birth rates Interpretation of Spearman s rank correlation coefficient Effect of sample size when estimating probability Venn diagrams Conditional probability
Content changes Higher I Topics new to Higher tier include: Misuse of frequency density formula Geometric mean Calculation of skewness Interdecile range Identify outliers using IQR or standard deviation Deeper understanding of Normal distribution
Content changes Higher II Topics new to Higher tier include (continued): Distribution of sample means Placement of action and warning lines No expansion formula given for binomial calculations Multivariate data Interpretation of Pearson s product moment correlation coefficient Distinction between Spearman s and Pearson s coefficients
Removed content Foundation Effects of accuracy on measurements Non-linear models Higher Effects of accuracy on measurements Non-linear models Discrete uniform distribution Simulation for more complex probabilities
Formulae There are statistics formulae that students: are expected to know should be able to use - these will be given in the assessment There are also GCSE Mathematics formulae that students are expected to know New in 2017 Foundation Higher Statistics formulae to be known: Mean Double mean point Probability formulae Mean, Geometric mean Interdecile range Outliers using SD Probability formulae Statistics formulae to be used: Rates of change Skew Rates of change
Examples of formulae Formulae students are expected to know include: Additional law for mutually exclusive events: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) Multiplication law for independent events: P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B) P(A B) = P(A) and P(B A) = P(B) Formula for conditional probability: P(B A) = P(A and B) / P(A) Additionally for Higher tier students: General addition law: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A and B)
Formulae sheet/notice Some formulae may be given to students in the assessment. We have taken a different approach to the provision of these formulae according to tier: Foundation tier: no separate formulae sheet. The formula (rates of change) will be given alongside the question Higher tier: separate formulae sheet provided on page 2 of the assessments
