  1. WJEC GCSE Geography A Marking the Fieldwork Enquiry Lessons from the moderation of controlled assessment in 2013

  2. AO1 – Knowledge &Understanding • AO1 is generally marked accurately although some centres mark generously in level 4 where candidates need to: • ‘Draw detailed conclusions that are fully consistent with the evidence’ rather than ‘sound’ conclusions of level 3.

  3. AO2 – Application • Many candidates still provide only fleeting evidence that they understand the wider concepts that underpin their particular enquiry. • Consequently, marking is generous when centres award marks at level 4where conclusions are simple and straightforward rather than perceptive and informed.

  4. Not all rivers are typical

  5. AO3 – Geographical Skills • In some centres there is a tendency for generous marking where the teacher has designed and structured the enquiry and where candidates have been unable to show evidence of independence. • Candidates need the opportunity to be able to pose their own geographical questions in order to access levels 3 and 4.

  6. AO3 – Geographical Skills • Generous marking gives credit when: • Candidates have processed all the data (often using a limited range of techniques) rather than selecting relevant data and then selecting a variety of appropriate techniques. • Candidates have failed to reflect on the validity and limitations of the evidence.

  7. annotation • Annotation aids moderation of a summative assessment. • Mark the work using the published mark scheme or grid. • If you use the grid – use highlighters. Note the page number within the report. • Mark the evidence in the report in the margin eg AO2 L3. This annotation helps the moderator. • In larger centres please moderate within the department
