An inspired and lively specification developed following a highly

successful pilot. It incorporates a new and unique, motivational,

innovative assessment: the Innovation Challenge providing your

learners with the opportunity to show flair, imagination and creativity,

in a range of activities which will motivate them and make it more

enjoyable for you to teach.

Further benefits for you and your learners:

What are the benefits of controlled assessment?The benefits of controlled assessment include:• Morestraightforwardmarking–formost

subjects, learners are provided with worksheets to submit their work on

• Improvedreliabilityandvalidity• Varyinglevelsofcontrol–youwillknow

at the start of the course what is required to help you manage the assessments and your time more easily

• Greaterconfidenceinauthenticatinglearners’workastheirown

• Greatereaseinfittingassessmentsintoyour normal teaching programmes.

Howwillcontrolledassessmentbeintroduced?Controlled assessment is embedded in the specification and will be introduced when the specification becomes available for teaching in September 2009.

Howwillitaffectmyworkload?With the introduction of a new qualification and a new model of assessment (controlled assessment)itispossiblethatsomeadditional work will be required in the first year of teaching until you get used to the new way of working.

Willitaffecttimetablingandcurriculumplanning?This will vary from centre to centre. For example, if you are retaining a linear model then all you need to do is to ensure that the learners have completed all units (full course)bytheendofthecourse.Followinga unitised approach may allow a more flexible approach to assessment.

Who will set the tasks of the controlled assessmentforDesignandTechnologyandwillIstillneedtomarkit?•Task setting – learners choose from a

range of controlled assessment tasks. These will be reviewed every two years.•Task taking – for every specification,

your centre will have clear guidance on authenticity, feedback, time and collaboration control, and access to resources. • Task marking – all controlled assessment units will be assessed internally and moderated externally. Centres can post portfolioorelectronicevidenceonCD-ROMto us for moderation, or upload digital portfolio evidence to the OCR Repository, our secure website designed exclusively for this purpose.

How long do I need to keep the controlled assessmentfor?This will be governed by the Awarding BodiesJointCouncilforQualifications’(JCQ)regulations when they are published, please visit www.jcq.org.uk for more information. Itisexpectedthatlearners’workwillneedto be kept until all possible post results services have been exhausted.

Whencancontrolledassessmentstart-inYear9,10or11?For Design and Technology the first opportunity to enter learners for controlled assessment is for the January 2010 session and thereafter January and June of each year. It is for centres to decide when they enter learners. Controlled assessment is inUnit1andagaininUnit3,thesewouldnormallybetakeninyear9or10forUnit

1andYear10or11forUnit3butthechoice is yours. If you are delivering the course in a linear fashion then all controlled assessments are at the end of the course.

Can I still teach a short course over two years?Yes. Controlled assessment can only take place for the years that the Awarding Body sets the tasks and the tasks cannot be carried over to subsequent years.

When can learners start researching for thecontrolledassessmentanddotheyneedtokeeptheirnotes?Taskswillbemadeavailableon‘Interchange’,our free secure website, from June of the previousyearofassessmenttoMayoftheyearof assessment. The time when you pass the tasks on to your learners is for you to manage in whatever way suits you and your learners.

What is controlled assessment?

Controlled assessment is coursework in a supervised environment/

classroom and will be replacing coursework from September 2009

for GCSEs. This has been introduced by QCA, to address some of the

issues raised in coursework reviews, such as plagiarism.

This means you can have the flexibility to choose the assessment approach best suited to your centre, and your learners. A unitised structure also gives you the flexibility to teach short and full courses at the same time.

Flexible assessment means:

•Youhaveachoiceoflearningapproach–linearorunitised.•Youcannowscheduleassessmentsfortimesduringthecoursewhenlearners’understandingisatitsbest–givingthemabetterchanceofsuccess.

•Learnerscanre-sitaunit,ratherthanrepeattheentireassessment.•Learnerscanreceiveongoingfeedback,whichmanyfindmotivating,asit

helps them identify their own learning needs and achieve more.•Learnersfinditeasiertostayontrackwiththeirstudiesandmanagetheirtimemoreeffectivelywithaunitisedapproach.

•There’slesspressureonyourlearners–the‘allornothing’approachtoassessment has been removed.

•Examstressisreduced–assessmentsarespreadout,insteadofgroupedtogether in a short, intense examination period at the end of the course.

•WithasimilarformattoALevelsandDiplomas,GCSEswillhelppreparelearners for the next phase of their education.

To ensure that the assessment supports the coherence of the GCSEs and there is no over-assessment, QCA has put two rules in place:•Aminimumof40%oftheassessmentmusttakeplaceatthe

end of the course.•Onlyonere-sitofeachassessmentunitisallowed.

The better result then counts towards the qualification.

Assessment for the new GCSEs in Design and Technology has been

organised into units, which can be taken at the end of the course

in typical linear fashion, or used to complement a more unitised

approach to teaching and learning.
