This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the<br>standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in<br>this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students\u2019<br>responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way.<br>As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students\u2019 scripts. Alternative<br>answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the<br>standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are<br>required to refer these to the Lead Examiner.<br>It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and<br>expanded on the basis of students\u2019 reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark<br>schemes on the basis of one year\u2019s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of<br>assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination<br>paper.<br>Further copies of this mark scheme are available from aqa.org.uk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright information<br>AQA retains the copyright on all its publications.

The<br>descriptor for the level shows the average performance for the level. There are marks in each level.<br>Before you apply the mark scheme to a student\u2019s answer read through the answer and annotate it (as<br>instructed) to show the qualities that are being looked for. You can then apply the mark scheme.<br>When a student responds with more responses than are required by the question you should mark all<br>responses and then credit only the response that is worthy of the highest credit. For example, when<br>students are asked to identify and explain one example but provide more, all should be marked but only<br>the best example credited.<br>Step 1 Determine a level<br>Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether the answer meets the<br>descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates the different qualities that might be seen in<br>the student\u2019s answer for that level. If it meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it<br>meets this level, and so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With<br>practice and familiarity you will find that for better answers you will be able to quickly skip through the<br>lower levels of the mark scheme.<br>When assigning a level you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not look to pick holes in<br>small and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If<br>the answer covers different aspects of different levels of the mark scheme you should use a best fit<br>approach for defining the level and then use the variability of the response to help decide the mark within<br>the level, ie if the response is predominantly level 3 with a small amount of level 4 material it would be<br>placed in level 3 but be awarded a mark near the top of the level because of the level 4 content.<br>Step 2 Determine a mark<br>Once you have assigned a level you need to decide on the mark. The descriptors on how to allocate<br>marks can help with this. The exemplar materials used during standardisation will help. There will be an<br>answer in the standardising materials which will correspond with each level of the mark scheme. This<br>answer will have been awarded a mark by the Lead Examiner. You can compare the student\u2019s answer<br>with the example to determine if it is the same standard, better or worse than the example. You can then<br>use this to allocate a mark for the answer based on the Lead Examiner\u2019s mark on the example.<br>You may well need to read back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme to clarify points and<br>assure yourself that the level and the mark are appropriate.<br>Indicative content in the mark scheme is provided as a guide for examiners. It is not intended to be<br>exhaustive and you must credit other valid points. Students do not have to cover all of the points<br>mentioned in the Indicative content to reach the highest level of the mark scheme. Examples of<br>additional relevant responses will be discussed at standardisation, if you have any doubts you should<br>contact your team leader for clarification.<br>An answer which contains nothing of relevance to the question must be awarded no marks.<br>Examiners are required to assign each of the candidates\u2019 responses to the most appropriate level<br>according to its overall quality, and then allocate a single mark within the level. When deciding upon a<br>mark in a level, examiners should bear in mind the relative weightings of the assessment objectives (see<br>page 4) and be careful not to over\/under credit a particular skill. This will be exemplified and reinforced<br>as part of examiner training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MARK SCHEME \u2013 GCSE SOCIOLOGY \u2013 8192\/1 \u2013 JUNE 2023<br>4<br>Assessment Objectives<br>AO1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of sociological theories, concepts, evidence<br>and methods.<br>AO2 Apply knowledge and understanding of sociological theories, concepts, evidence and<br>methods.<br>AO3 Analyse and evaluate sociological theories, concepts, evidence and methods in order to<br>construct arguments, make judgements and draw conclusions.<br>download pdf at <a href=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/search\/study?query=aqa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/learnexams.com\/search\/study?query=aqa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GCSESOCIOLOGY8192\/1Paper 1 The Sociology of Families and EducationMark schemeJune 2023Version: Final 1.0236G8192\/2MS MARK SCHEME \u2013 GCSE SOCIOLOGY \u2013 8192\/1 \u2013 JUNE 20232Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevantquestions, by a panel of subject teachers.
