ADMINISTRATION Intermediate 1, 2 and Higher Command Words June Greig Diane Santana
Today’s Presentation • Focus on the use of “command” words within the theory sections of all external Administration exams • The need for consistency across all Administration exams with regard to setting/marking and therefore teaching and learning.
General Marking Principles • Recognise and reward the knowledge and understanding demonstrated by the candidate • Apply the marking standards in the same way to each script • No half marks are awarded • No negative marking
Higher and Lower Order Skills • Intermediate 1 – only lower order skills examined • Intermediate 2 – mostly lower order skills with increased level of difficulty and two higher order skills included within the theory paper • Higher – balance of both lower and higher order (approximately 50:50), within each section. • Higher – from 2010, compare to be examined in the compulsory section only
No deductions (candidates will only score marks for each point compared, discussed or justified) Command Words Lower Order Skills • List, Name, Identify, State, Suggest • Outline • Describe Higher Order Skills • Justify • Compare • Discuss
Other Commands? • Consequences • Implications
