    1. Controlled Assessments for GCSE Applied Business A starter’s guide

    2. Let’s just say that You want to enter candidates next June, 2010, for their Controlled Assessments.

    3. What do you do first? Look at OCR’s Interchange website. Ask your Exams’ Officer to look if you do not have access. You will need to be assigned the ‘Tutor/teacher’ role to access the controlled assessment materials.

    4. What will you be able to download from Interchange? The 2010 Controlled Assessments for units: A242 – Making your mark in business. Candidates will choose one business scenario from a selection of five. They then choose a local business on which to base their subsequent business and complete all the tasks. A244 – Business and you. Candidates will choose one job role from a selection of five and investigate a range of human resource activities in relation to this role. You will also be able to download the accompanying mark schemes for these controlled assessments.

    5. What next? Plan your research. Prepare your candidates for researching and carrying out their tasks.

    6. And then? Carry out the research; you can do this as a class and then pool the data. Ask your candidates to carry out their own research (Note: you need not supervise this).

    7. What about the writing up? For the task the actual writing up MUST be done in school, under close supervision and in controlled conditions. Candidates must carry out this part of the task individually.

    8. What about using material from the Internet, books etc? This is OK, as long as they clearly credit the reference within the body of their work, and not just in a general bibliography at the end.

    9. Think It’s not a memory test – controlled conditions are there to prevent cheating, not the legitimate use of research materials.

    10. And any notes they bring in? You need to be able to authenticate the work as being by the candidate and not by their friend or their Mum….. So take in and scrutinise any notes they bring in before the write-up starts. Allow them to use the notes during the write-up lessons but always collect in and keep secure at the end of each lesson.
