A structured discussion of the fairness of GCSE and A level grades in England in summer 2020 and 2021
In England, examinations for general qualifications (GCSE, AS and A level) were cancelled in summer 2020 and summer 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and replaced with contingency measures involving teacher judgements. For summer 2020, the intention was to calculate grades using rankings provided by centres, prior attainment data for the current learners and performance data for centres’ candidates in previous years. This approach was lat…
The reliability of setting grade boundaries using comparative judgement
In recent years the use of expert judgement to set and maintain examination standards has been increasingly criticised in favour of approaches based on statistical modelling. This paper reviews existing research on this controversy and attempts to unify the evidence within a framework where expertise is utilised in the form of comparative judgement. Initially, the paper introduces a mathematical model for the way in which comparative judgement ma…
Parental knowledge of alcohol consumption
Whilst only small numbers of young adolescents in our sample were drinking alcohol compared with older adolescents, those who did were more likely to do so without their parents' knowledge. These two factors combined (drinking earlier and drinking without parental knowledge) could place children at risk of immediate harm. Further research is essential to identify whether public health strategies should be developed which could support parents to …
Why Study Economics? Perspectives from 16–19-Year-Old Students
In England and Wales, 16–19-year-old students are given considerable subject choice. Many follow Advanced (or A) level courses in three or four subjects and economics is a popular option. Within a wider study of A level teaching and learning, subject choice was explored. Two questions were considered: (1) Why do students choose to study A level Economics? (2) What skills and knowledge do students expect to gain which will help them when at univer…
Season of birth, sex and success in GCSE English, mathematics and science
Local education authorities and/or schools in England and Wales operate various policies for the admission of children to school, so that annual, biannual and termly admission patterns may be found in different places, combined with different policies regarding the admission of ‘rising fives’ — children just below the statutory age. Previous research into the relationship between achievement and age has detected differences in achievement between…
