New 9-1 GCSE
Abstract:
In 2015 the new 9-1 GCSE English was accredited by The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/gcse-and-a-level-reform/gcse-reform/
The essay addresses the question of how the new 9-1 GCSEs will affect teaching and learning within the subject of English and their impact on accountability measures.
It will apply and critique literature, and research findings in order to come to an informed decision on what practitioners think of the new 9-1 GCSEs.
It argues that the dissociation of exam boards in relation to the teaching of the new GCSE’s unveils how teachers are left to their own devices in regards to teaching and how pedagogical practice may hinder the learners. It concludes

    Ctlls 003 Assessment

    Assessment is a process through which we gauge a learners level and progression, ensuring learning is taking place and the learner is developing their skills and knowledge. Susan Wallace recognises the importance of assessment as more than a means of determining learner achievement but also “as an indicator of the quality of learning.” (2007: 119) discussing the need for ‘ongoing assessment’ to evaluate how receptive learners are to the lessons.…

    The coalitions education reforms have been desirable and necessary

    It could be said that the education reforms under the coalition government have been both desirable and necessary. To be desirable they would allow they system to be more efficient and enviable while to be necessary the old system would need to be proven to be ineffective and broken, calling for the need for a new system. Michael Gove, former coalition education secretary, made many drastic changes to the education systems including ending modular exams, the reform of the GCSE grading system and preventing the manipulation of league tables. This essay will ultimately argue that yes the reforms are in fact desirable but are not entirely necessary.…

    What I Would Get Rid of to Improve Life in the 21st Century

    The excruciating examination process in which thousands of pressured students who are not fully ready to take an exam, must prove what they have ‘learned’ to aggressive and rapacious examiners, only a minority being selected in the vast marine of shinning students who have just been unchained of the shackles of school work and deadlines? And the rest...? They are left to dry out in the harsh world, to be taunted for doing miserable on that one day, not being given another try. Exams deteriorate us and oppress our very lives making our everyday routine revising and reiterating for an exam that can determine our whole life. The 2 sided pages trap us into our failure, whilst the time ticks at its loudest, making us write nothing but a single letter on a line which finally concludes our end result. Of course if you are to do well, you are fine, but with the ever-changing ruthless mark scheme it’s very difficult to do just well. The pressure put on the fragile mind only gives the tormenter one choice under the stress leading to the examination. To give up! Even the polite and civilised students fall and loose complete confidence in them self’s, feeling like they ruined there only last chance to shine. NO! It’s exhausting having to prepare for an examination when the end result is marked so harshly, it puts the only courage you have down. Masses of tress being removed, the same tress giving us the air we breathe. Papers and papers and pages and pages... all for a single letter on a line, is it truly worth it? Examinations should be banned from the education procedures to avoid any harm it does to the livelihood of a child’s mind.…

    In recent years, many have commented that the profession of teaching has lacked a consistent and shared view of what constitutes pedagogical knowledge and expertise. This booklet, based on the wide-ranging work of the National Strategies over recent years in the field of teaching and learning, is intended to make a contribution to a more developed view of pedagogy and thus an increased sense of informed professionalism. It provides a theoretical yet practical view of the pedagogical principles embedded in the National Strategies. The time to address these fundamental issues of teaching and learning is right. Those who work in schools and settings are faced with increased accountability, which has brought about an increased openness in terms of what goes on in learning environments. The new teaching standards make specific reference to the need to develop pedagogical knowledge and skill as part of developing a career as a teacher. The most effective continuing professional development (CPD) often involves a specialist input along with an element of sharing practice, for instance through co-coaching, with opportunities to reflect on and learn from the practice of others. Achieving this means having a shared language and understanding in order to describe and evaluate the act of teaching. Achieving this means increasing the range and quality of dialogue within and across schools and settings about what is effective, to reduce the variation in the quality of teaching and learning that still exists in many situations and to enable transfer…

    1.1 Explain how the function of the assessment process is achieved through the assessment cycle

    Assessment decision and feedback should always be given to learners regarding their performance. The feedback should include whether the evidence provided meets the national standard. It is important that the learner agrees with the assessment decision. The assessment should meet the specific outcomes and criteria identified in the assessment planning and should be at the appropriate level for the qualification. All evidence must be judged as valid, authentic, consistent and sufficient.…

    Theories and Principles of Assessment

    Once we look at assessment, we are looking at something which, historically, has been at the will of the social, cultural, political and moral values of the marker. That is to say, and admittedly not all of these traits are manifestly evident, some are hidden, the level of assessment, certainly at higher education levels, is of a more subjective nature, rather than the ‘tide-turning’ objectivity of modern assessment methods or regimes. Whilst each of the approaches has its merits, and de-merits, there is a need for continuous assessment.…
