Section 1: Introduction Section 1: Introduction This booklet is for use by teachers who wish to be accredited to carry out coursework assessment in Cambridge IGCSE Physics, Physical Sciences, Combined Science or Co-ordinated Sciences. It should be used in conjunction with the IGCSE Science Coursework Training Handbook (Part 1): Guidance booklet. 1.1 Is this the right booklet for me? This booklet is one of three entitled IGCSE Coursework Training Handbook (Part 2): Teacher Accreditation. The other two cover IGCSE Biology and IGCSE Chemistry. You should use this booklet if you wish to enter candidates for Paper 4: Coursework, in IGCSE Biology, Combined Science or Co-ordinated Sciences. Note that, if you teach Combined Science or Co-ordinated Sciences, you do not need to complete tasks in each of the subject areas. You may choose the one Biology, Chemistry or Physics with which you are most comfortable, and submit tasks from just that one subject area. If you teach Physical Science, you can complete tasks contained in the Part 2 Coursework Training Handbooks for Teacher Accreditation for either Physics or Chemistry. 1.2 How to use this booklet This booklet contains several tasks that you need to complete in order to become accredited to carry out coursework assessment in any of the sciences. In order to gain accreditation you should: Work carefully through the IGCSE Science Coursework Training Handbook (Part 1): Guidance booklet, which is available electronically on Teacher Support and can be ordered as hard copy from the Cambridge Publications Catalogue. It is essential that you are thoroughly familiar with the contents of that booklet before you begin to work through the tasks in this booklet. Complete each of the tasks in this booklet. Copy and complete the accreditation forms at the back of the book, checking that you have met all the requirements of the accreditation tasks. Send your completed forms, and all of the documents that form part of your submission, to the address indicated on the forms. Allow 4 6 weeks for your work to be checked by a coursework assessor. You will receive feedback on what you have submitted. If there are any problems with your work that suggest you may not quite be ready to assess coursework, you may be asked to resubmit. You may apply as many times as you wish to gain accreditation, although there is a small charge on each occasion. IGCSE Physics/Physical Science /Combined Science/Co-ordinated Science 3
Introduction 1.3 The tasks Task 1 This task is explained in Section 2. You will write worksheets and mark schemes that could be used for coursework assessment. Task 2 This task is explained in Section 3. You will write mark schemes and then use them to assess the work of learners in the skill areas C2, C3 and C4. 4 IGCSE Physics/Physical Science /Combined Science/Co-ordinated Science
Section 2: Task One, writing worksheets and mark schemes Section 2: Task One, writing worksheets and mark schemes Before you begin this task: re-read Section 6: Constructing worksheets and mark schemes, in the IGCSE Science Coursework Training Handbook (Part 1): Guidance booklet. make sure that you have the assessment criteria for awarding marks for C1, C2, C3 and C4 with you for reference. You will find these in your IGCSE syllabus, or in the Part 1 booklet. There are three parts to this task: 1a, 1b and 1c. Note: If possible, try to ensure that your worksheets are on topics that differ from those in the Part 1 booklet, and those in this booklet. Task 1a Write a worksheet and mark scheme that you could use to assess skill C1, and that would allow access to the full range of marks. You may choose to use either a tick list mark scheme, or a descriptive mark scheme. Task 1b Write one worksheet that you could use to assess skills C2 and C3, and that would allow access to the full range of marks in each of the two skills. Write a mark scheme for C2, and another for C3. Task 1c Write a worksheet and mark scheme that you could use to assess skill C4, and that would allow access to the full range of marks.
