2 HISTORY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) 1. SOURCE BASED QUESTIONS 1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions: WEIGHTING COGNITVE HISTORICAL SKILLS OF LEVELS QUESTIONS Extract evidence from sources LEVEL 1 Selection and organisation of relevant 30% (L1) information from sources (15) Define historical concepts/terms Interpretation of evidence from sources LEVEL 2 40% Explain information gathered from sources (L2) (20) Analyse evidence from sources Interpret and evaluate evidence from the sources Engage with sources to determine its LEVEL 3 30% usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations (L3) (15) Compare and contrast interpretations and perspectives presented in sources and draw independent conclusions 1.2 The following information below indicates how to source-based questions are assessed: In the marking of source-based questions, credit needs to be given to any other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or examples. In the allocation of marks, emphasis should be placed on how the requirements of the question have been addressed. In the marking guideline, the requirements of the question (skills that need to be addressed) as well as the level of the question are indicated in italics. 1.3 Assessment procedures for source-based questions Use a tick ( ) for each correct answer Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 x 2) which translates to two reasons and is given two marks each ( ); (1 x 2) which translates to one reason and is given two marks ( ) If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks Paragraph question Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content and structure of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding a mark. The following steps must be used when assessing a response to a paragraph question: Read the paragraph and place a bullet ( . ) at each point within the text where the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the question Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate has been able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.

(EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) HISTORY P2 3 At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (√) that the candidate has been awarded for the paragraph; as well as the level (1, 2 or 3) as indicated in the holistic rubric and a brief comment e.g. ___________ . __________________________ . __________________ _________________ . ____________________________ . __________ Level 2 Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark on the right hand bottom margin e.g. 32 50 Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back cover of the answer script. 2. ESSAY QUESTIONS 2.1 The essay questions require candidates to: Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner. They need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so that they are able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an effective argument to answer the question posed. It is essential that an essay has an introduction, a coherent and balanced body of evidence and a conclusion. 2.2 Marking of essays questions Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided by the textbooks in use at the particular centre. Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or conclusion than those included in a specific essay marking guideline for a specific essay. When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should be credited for any other relevant answer 2.3 Global assessment of the essay The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the teacher to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the component parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to offer an individual opinion by using selected factual evidence to support an argument. The learners will not be required to simply regurgitate ‘facts’ in order to achieve a high mark. This approach discourages learners from preparing ‘model’ answers and reproducing them without taking into account the specific requirements of the question. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners’ opinion supported by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following: Copyright reserved Please turn over

In assessing the extended writing note should be taken of both the content and presentation. At the point of intersection of the content and presentation based on the seven competency levels, a mark should be awarded. (a) The first reading of essay will be to determine to what extent the main aspects have been covered and to allocate the C LEVEL 4 content level (on the matrix). (b) The second reading of essay will relate to the level (on the matrix) of presentation. C LEVEL 4 P LEVEL 3 (c) Allocate an overall mark with C LEVEL 4 the use of the matrix. 26–27 P LEVEL 3 Copyright reserved Please turn over
