TeachingSupportArt andDesignGCE Student Guide

This GCE qualification is available as a general

Art and Design (combined studies qualification)

or as a specialism qualification in Three

Dimensional Design, Textiles, or Photography

and Lens Based Media.

Students can take the AS course as a final

qualification or the AS units plus the A2 units for

the full GCE A level qualification.

It is designed to:

• continue to build on the knowledge,

understanding and skills developed in GCSE

Art and Design and at KS3; and

• provide a sound basis for progression to

higher education courses in Art and Design

or study related to other areas of the Creative

Industries.

Why study Art and Design?

The study of GCE Art and Design creates a pathway

to a future career in a creative industries related

field. It builds on the knowledge and skills

developed at GCSE and KS3 and prepares students

for further study in Art and Design or related study

in a creative field.

The Creative industries are the fastest growing area

of the economy and are key to economic success.

Northern Ireland and the UK have an established

global reputation in these areas.

Art and Design is unique in its inherent requirement

to develop key transferable skills such as:

• creativity, personal motivation

• project management and organisational skills

• innovation, higher level thinking skills and

problem solving.

This qualification is designed to broaden

and deepen knowledge, skills and contextual

understanding of a range of Art and Design

disciplines.

It encourages students to find alternative

approaches and to take risks in their work. It

develops independent approaches to learning,

aesthetic awareness and intellectual capabilities.

Art and Design allows for personal responses and

therefore is key in helping students explore their

identity and their philosophical and spiritual

relationships to the society in which they live.

Student guidance material is also available on the

CCEA website www.ccea.org.uk

Q&ASpotlight on revised A levels

The Vision asked four of CCEA’s Subject Officers to tell us what’s new in the revised A level Modern Languages, Nutrition and Food Science, Music and Geography specifications.

What areas of the specifications have been revised?There are now two themes for AS and two themes for A2. We’ve refined these themes to offer increased flexibility to teachers. Previous themes at A2 level focused heavily on environmental issues, but that focus has been reduced. Now, the revised qualifications consider environmental issues as part of a wider spectrum of topics.

Is there a particular change that you are most excited about? The AS 3 Extended Writing unit is now standalone. This means that students don’t have to complete the assessment in conjunction with another assessment activity. Its assessment is now completely separate.

What skills can students develop by studying a modern language?Studying languages helps students to develop a wide range of skills including literacy, critical thinking, presentation and interpersonal skills. Languages play a vital role in a person’s self-development while helping them to learn about other societies and cultures.

Subject Officers: Seán McNally smcnally@ccea.org.ukEileen Lisk elisk@ccea.org.uk

What is new for A level Music?The qualification now offers three separate units at AS and A2 with slightly modified weightings. These units are: Performing (32.5%), Composing (32.5%) and Responding to Music (35%). Composition will now be treated as an internal assessment. We made this revision in response to strong educational research from Birmingham City University.

How will internal assessment benefit teachers?Teachers are best placed to mark the composition tasks because they observe the development of students’ composition skills from beginning to end. Teachers will be able to highlight why marks have been awarded, due to the feedback that they receive each year via the moderation process. We will invite teachers to attend Agreement Trials each year to help refresh knowledge and apply the required standards.

How has the subject adapted to the changing digital world? The Composition with Technology task is a response to the digital age and gives candidates the opportunity to create musical ideas using innovative digital technologies.

Subject Officer: John Trueman jtrueman@ccea.org.uk

Why has the subject name changed from Home Economics?The title ‘Nutrition and Food Science’ reflects the subject’s content more accurately. By changing the name we hope to change perceptions and emphasise that this subject is suitable for both male and female students.

How did you develop this revised qualification?We consulted a wide range of stakeholders including teachers, subject associations, universities and colleges, employers and subject advisory panels. Some of the industry representatives included the British Nutrition Foundation, the Livestock and Meat Commission, the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland, Safefood, the Food Standards Agency and the Dairy Council.

Why should a centre adopt this subject? Food and food-related industries are a growing part of the Northern Ireland economy, providing job opportunities both locally and abroad. There is a range of pathways beyond A level to courses such as Food Security, Food Innovation and Product Development. Universities have shown particular interest in this subject’s research project because this is an area that develops a strong set of transferable skills. Subject Officer: Glynis Henderson ghenderson@ccea.org.uk

What has changed in the revised specification?One of the most significant changes is the move to six units – three at AS and three at A2 – which will give candidates a better assessment experience. Another significant change is that at A2 all three papers are timed for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Can you tell us about one of your favourite changes to the specification? At A2 2 we give students the option to study Cultural Geography, which has become an important part of studying Human Geography at higher education level. Students will learn that, despite globalisation, significant differences in culture still exist.

How does The ReVision show that CCEA has listened to teacher feedback? Teachers have long been asking us to include glaciation in the A level Geography specification. At A2 1 there is now an exciting option available titled Climate Change – Past and Present. This brings together the evidence for past climate change, the resulting lowland glacial landscapes and the current debate surrounding the causes and consequences of climate change. It will also consider how we can manage global climate change.

Fast FactsIntroducingnew A level Life and Health Sciences

The Vision meets CCEA’s Gavin Gray, Subject Officer, to find out more on the new A level Life and Health Sciences.

What is the new Life and Health Sciences A level?This qualification was introduced in response to the growing Life and Health Sciences sector in Northern Ireland, which generates sales worth about £800m a year. The new Life and Health Sciences qualification was developed in partnership with industry and covers a range of science disciplines. This applied science subject will be available for first teaching in September 2016 and will equip students for a career in the Life and Health Sciences sector. It fits well with the current emphasis on STEM subjects and building cross-disciplinary skills.

What will the subject content and assessment look like?Students will study topics such as: pharmaceutical science; clinical research; manufacturing; medicine, drugs and clinical trials; analytical chemistry; genetics, stem cell research and cloning; data management; histology and pathology; predictive modelling; medical devices and device electronics.

Life and Health Sciences will include 16 assessment units (pending accreditation). The Single Award qualification has three units at AS and six for the full A level qualification. The Double Award qualification requires six AS units while the full A level qualification requires 12 units. For each route there are core compulsory units to be completed alongside a range of optional units offering both internal and external assessment options.

How is it different to existing sciences?Our current science A levels cover the individual disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The Life and Health Sciences A level will include many of the fundamental principles of the individual sciences, as well as introducing new scientific content and developing a wide range of industry relevant technical skills.

Why should a centre adopt this subject? This is a fresh, relevant industry-driven course. It provides centres currently offering sciences at post-16 with an opportunity to complement and enhance their current science offer. For centres that wish to develop a post-16 science provision, this is an ideal high-quality applied course for their students.

'This is an exciting qualification developed in partnership with industry to provide talent for the growing Life and Health Sciences Sector.'

For more information onLife and Health Sciencescontact Gavin Gray atggray@ccea.org.uk

What area(s) of the subject are you most enthusiastic about? This qualification uses a real-life, context-driven approach to enthuse students about the innovative and practical science work that is happening in the Life and Health Sciences industries across Northern Ireland.

For example, the unit in Enabling Technology is a unique concept that allows students to employ real monitoring techniques to complete a real or simulated medical study of a patient. This is designed to allow students to appreciate how specialised equipment functions, and explore how the work of Northern Ireland companies such as Intelesens are pioneering the developments in this important area of medicine.

Who is this A level aimed towards?The qualification is aimed at all potential A level science students and those interested in gaining industry-sought skills that will increase employment opportunities in the Life and Health Sciences sector. It also provides a gateway to further study and higher education science courses, both locally and internationally. Students can take this as their only science A level, offering learning across the three disciplines or can complement it with their study of the other science subjects.

What industry-specific skills can students expect to develop and what career paths will be open to them?Students will develop a range of transferable skills, including investigative and research skills, evaluation, statistical analysis, critical thinking and interdisciplinary team working. Potential career paths may include analytical chemistry, industrial pharmaceuticals, nursing, radiography and biomedical science. The skills students learn on the course are also transferable to a range of other career choices. This qualification has been developed in partnership with high-profile firms like Almac, Norbrook and Intelesens, all of whom offer careers in this area.

What support will CCEA provide for teachers?We are providing a comprehensive support package that will include schemes of work, student guides and fact files. There will also be specific support events for teachers, facilitated by a range of hosts including CCEA, higher education establishments and industry partners.

The Northern Ireland Regulator has approved CCEA’s request to extend the availability of CCEA A level Applied Business and CCEA A level Applied Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to 2018.

This means that students starting these qualifications in September 2016 will study the current specification. Final certification is in Summer 2018. There will be one resit opportunity for A2 units only and certification is in Summer 2019.

For this final cohort of students, A level Applied Business and Applied ICT units will be worth 40% and A2 units will be worth 60% of the overall qualification. This change ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and aligns both qualifications with all other CCEA A level qualifications available from September 2016.

The table below highlights the availability of assessment for the legacy and revised specifications 2016–19.

Progression Connecting all that we do to develop the best qualifications for Northern Ireland's studentsCCEA is a unique educational body in the UK, bringing together the three areas of curriculum, examinations and assessment. CCEA’s vision for education supports intellectual, social, moral and spiritual development and encourages a love for learning in young people and adults alike. We aim to reflect the needs of individual students, the community and the Northern Ireland economy in our education provision.

At the heart of the curriculum there is an explicit emphasis on developing skills and capabilities for lifelong learning and for contributing effectively to society. These include the Cross-Curricular Skills – Communication, Using Mathematics and Using ICT – and Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities. Therefore, we’ve put the development of Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities at the heart of the revised curriculum from Foundation Stage to Key Stage 4.

At each Key Stage, schools assess and report each pupil’s progress in Communication and Using Mathematics with reference to the Levels of Progression. The Levels of Progression are a series of ‘can do’ statements, a range of skills that pupils should be able to demonstrate. By doing so, they will build the literacy, numeracy and ICT skills needed to function effectively in life and in the world of work.

When revising the GCSE specifications, CCEA decided to include progression of the skills embedded in the curriculum at primary and at Key Stage 3 alongside the required subject knowledge.

Each GCSE specification will highlight opportunities for progression in their delivery of skills and will support the transferability of those skills. We will provide supporting materials and schemes of work which signpost the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities of Problem-Solving, Self-Management and Working With Others. We will also supply examples of how these skills can be developed and used to enhance learning and teaching within subjects.

In addition, CCEA has developed roadmaps in vital areas such as Communication, Using Mathematics, Science and Digital Skills to ensure progression from Foundation, through Key Stages 1–4, to A level and beyond.

The continuity in skills progression at Key Stage 4 is essential to allow young people to apply and transfer knowledge and understanding from one situation to another, and to help them function effectively in the changing workplace.

be aligned to the Northern Ireland Curriculum and provide progression from Key Stage 3; and

reflect your viewpoints and those of other key stakeholders, including students, higher education and industry.

CCEA’s GCSEs will continue to:

A*-G

From 2017, GCSEs taken by students in England will be graded 9–1. In Northern Ireland and Wales, GCSEs will continue to be graded using the alphabetical grades A* to G.

CCEA is working with universities and employers to ensure that: • there is a clear understanding of the

differences in GCSE grading across England, Wales and Northern Ireland;

• GCSEs in Northern Ireland remain highly valued by universities and employers; and

• GCSEs in Northern Ireland are comparable to those offered in England and Wales.

Comparability between lettered and numbered gradesIn moving to the number grade scale in England, Ofqual will anchor the new Grade 4 to Grade C and the new Grade 7 to Grade A. There will, therefore, be equivalence points across the two scales at the important grades of C (4) and A (7). In our discussions with universities and other key stakeholders (including employers) we are highlighting this equivalence.

Q&ASupporting YouSpotlight on A level Support ProgrammeThe Vision chats with CCEA’s Programme Manager for The ReVision supportprogramme, Danny Lambe, to find out how CCEA is supporting teachers in thedelivery of revised specifications,and what’s new for 2016.

Danny, can you tell us about CCEA’s support programme for the revised A levels, due for first teaching this September?A full A level ReVision support programme is well underway to accompany the introduction of the revised A level specifications. This programme will provide a range of support materials and events. These include student guides, specification snapshots, exemplar schemes of work for all units and options, student fact files and a range of bespoke support materials.

What type of support are you providing for teachers?Our resource writing teams are developing support materials for each subject. We aim to provide professional support materials which are ‘fit for purpose’. We will assist teachers with their first teaching of each subject from September 2016 onwards, and continue to support them throughout the lifetime of the specification.

At specification launch events, we’ve provided printed copies of accredited specifications, Specimen Assessment Materials (SAMs) and exemplar schemes of work. All support materials are available online for each subject and we're updating our microsites, which will hold all the new specifications and support materials.

What about the support events and how do these work? To date we’ve held 50 free support events across Northern Ireland, with over 1500 teachers attending. These events have informed teachers about the accredited specifications. They have also given teachers the opportunity to meet Subject Officers and support staff to discuss their support needs.

What new support is available for 2016?We’re creating unit-based e-books for 10 subjects. These include subjects such as English Literature, History, Geography, Health and Social Care and Music. We’ve commissioned 87 unit-based e-books, and the ones for AS level will be available on the CCEA website in time for first teaching in September 2016.

The ReVision of GCSEs is underway. What support will be available for these qualifications, due for first teaching in September 2017?The support programme for GCSE revised specifications will be tailored to suit the needs of subject teachers and students. We’ve already started with a range of support events for centres that had to change their awarding organisation (due to the decision taken to retain GCSEs A* to G here in Northern Ireland). These support events started in April and will continue through to June. We’ve also recruited GCSE support writing teams who are developing the resources needed to support first teaching in September 2017.

Why can centres have confidence in CCEA? CCEA is committed to support all teachers before first teaching, during the first year of the new course and throughout the lifetime of the specification.

When we developed our support programme, we considered the requirements of our primary customers (students and teachers).

As a result, we’re developing innovative online materials, free training seminars and workshop events plus visits to schools on request.
