AO1 – Knowledge & Understanding
• AO1 is generally marked accurately although some centres mark generously in level 4 where candidates need to:
• ‘Draw detailed conclusions that are fully consistent with the evidence’ rather than ‘sound’ conclusions of level 3.
![Page 3: WJEC GCSE Geography A Marking the Fieldwork Enquiry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56816282550346895dd2f1d2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
AO2 – Application • Many candidates still provide only fleeting
evidence that they understand the wider concepts that underpin their particular enquiry.
• Consequently, marking is generous when centres award marks at level 4 where conclusions are simple and straightforward rather than perceptive and informed.

AO3 – Geographical Skills• In some centres there is a tendency for
generous marking where the teacher has designed and structured the enquiry and where candidates have been unable to show evidence of independence.
• Candidates need the opportunity to be able to pose their own geographical questions in order to access levels 3 and 4.

AO3 – Geographical Skills
• Generous marking gives credit when:– Candidates have processed all the
data (often using a limited range of techniques) rather than selecting relevant data and then selecting a variety of appropriate techniques.
– Candidates have failed to reflect on the validity and limitations of the evidence.

annotation• Annotation aids moderation of a
summative assessment.• Mark the work using the published
mark scheme or grid.• If you use the grid – use highlighters.
Note the page number within the report.
• Mark the evidence in the report in the margin eg AO2 L3. This annotation helps the moderator.
• In larger centres please moderate within the department
