Attainment Target F3.3
Context
This work was done as part of a unit called 'Divided World'. Planning was carried out in class, but most research was done as homework. There was no teacher support.
Commentary
People in Society - Level F1.1, F3.3
Enquiry Skills - Level D1.2, D2.2, F2.1, F3.1, F3.2
Although this work was carried out specifically as an enquiry, it nevertheless
does obviously demonstrate knowledge and understanding, and can be used
to demonstrate attainment of various targets. Attainment target F1.1
is clearly attained, F3.3 less certainly. Stephen's work looks at
ways of solving problems arising from disputes, while the bullet point
refers to 'ways of resolving disputes'. Avoiding an overly rigid
adherence to the letter of the guidelines rather than the spirit, however,
it can be concluded that Stephen is capable of this level of attainment.
As far as Enquiry Skills are concerned, he clearly demonstrates attainment
of F2.1, F3.1 and F3.2.
Suggested Activities
- Stephen could be encouraged to justify his choices of sources and techniques
(Enquiry Skills F1.2, F2.2).
- Stephen could be encouraged to analyse his sources for relevance, bias and accuracy (Enquiry Skills F2.3).
- Stephen could be helped to remove bias from his own findings.
