The Influence of Assessment Structure on Qualification Standards in GCSE English

This discussion explores how the assessment structure affects qualification standards, particularly by examining Dr. Michelle Meadows' work on the unitised structure of AQA's GCSE English and GCSE English Language specifications. It highlights the complexities of examiners' judgments regarding performance, the challenges of detecting subtle differences across multiple assessments, and the impact of aggregation methods. The paper also contrasts sustained study with recent atomised study, ultimately advocating for fairness in evaluation and offering a pragmatic perspective on the implications for educational standards.
