Assessing WJEC Eduqas GCSE Sociology
Mark Scheme Understanding the Mark Scheme the exercising of academic judgement via: an assessment grid setting out criteria for different levels of response indicative content, that is, an indication of the kind of content responses may include.
Assessing evidence Understanding the Mark Scheme exercising academic judgement through levels of response mark schemes Firstly, identify the appropriate band a student s response falls into according to the criteria. Award a band where the student s response covers the majority of the criteria. Secondly, consider a mark in the centre of the band and then increase or decrease the mark depending on the quality of the answer, which may be reflected in the amount of indicative content covered. If a response falls between two bands, consider whether there are more characteristics of the higher or lower of the two bands and award accordingly. Indicative content is not exhaustive and other valid responses may be credited.
Assessing evidence Teachers should, wherever possible, use the levels of response marking schemes that we have provided in the assessment responses as a starting point for assessing students. Indicative content in Eduqas marking schemes can be used as a guide to the types of skills and knowledge expected for the component.
Assessing evidence Rubric infringements WJEC Eduqas has a consistent way of addressing rubric infringements. Below is a list of the possible infringements which sometimes occur for this qualification. Type of infringement Where the correct answer has been clearly crossed out. Action If the student writes and then crosses out the correct answer, do not award the mark, even if no other answer is offered.
Assessing evidence Rubric infringements Type of infringement Action Where the question requires a set number of responses and the student has provided more (open ended knowledge and understanding questions). Mark all responses offered. Total the correct responses and award marks up to the maximum mark. Where the question requires a set number of responses and the student has provided more (application of knowledge and understanding in a particular instance where there is a smaller number of correct answers). Mark all responses offered. Deduct one mark for every additional response offered.
Assessing evidence Rubric infringements Type of infringement Writing answers in the wrong place (constrained papers). Action If it is obvious to which question the response relates, award marks as per the marking scheme.
