Assessment Objectives Descriptors and Boundries.pdf
- 2. OCR - A LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY - H603 Assessment Objectives shouldn’t be seen as separate stages but should relate to each other and are not necessarily linear; research could lead into development of ideas, testing and then back to further research or more focused investigation
- 3. AO1 DEVELOP Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. PI /24 - EXAM /20
- 4. Assessment Objective 1: DEVELOP Recognise Consider • Showing ‘analytical’ and ‘critical’ understanding • Making relevant connections • Impact of context • Reviewing as work progresses • Cultivation of ‘ideas’ • Making a personal response • Using unrelated sources • Giving only ‘factual’ information • Relying solely on the INTERNET • Confining developmental study to the start or are you… Are you developing your ideas by… BAD GOOD
- 5. AO2 EXPLORE Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops PI /24 - EXAM /20
- 6. Assessment Objective 2: EXPLORE Recognise Consider • Refinement and reviewing of ideas through practical work • Using ‘digital’ manipulation • Showing a connection between exploration and outcome(s) • Showing skill and achievement • Selection of materials used • Undertaking lots of unrelated activities • Using only popular ‘filters’ • Loss of accuracy in transposition • Confusing ‘quantity’ with ‘quality’ • Allowing repetition to be a substitute for exploration In your practical photography are you… or are you… BAD GOOD
- 7. AO3 RECORD Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress PI /24 - EXAM /20
- 8. Assessment Objective 3: RECORD Recognise Consider • The skill in recording • The skill photography • Understanding in written work • Reflecting critically on work and progress • Showing insights • Showing skill when using materials or alternative media • Recording with inaccuracy • Selecting subject matter that is unrelated to intended outcomes • Transposition with inaccuracy • Loss of focus in interpreting observations or insight • Less accomplished using alternative media BAD GOOD While writing into your sketchbook are you… or are you…
- 9. When presenting your work, the image should speak for itself you don’t have to show all your workings out, all the time the proof should be in the quality of the photograph Next to your photography, include the following 1. INTRODUCTION - explain how this is an improvement on a previous shoot - has anything/one who helped you to develop you meaning / technique? 2. ANNOTATION - this should be only be relevant to the image - use specialist language to describe the meaning / image / techniques 3. WWW/EBI - how will you improve next time? SKETCHBOOK AO3 RECORD OBSERVATIONS LO: UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MODERATOR IS LOOKING FOR TO ACHIEVE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY A-LEVEL
- 10. AO4 PRESENT Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements. PI /24 - EXAM /20
- 11. Assessment Objective 4: PRESENT Recognise Consider • A personal and meaningful response • The whole submission • How well the outcome(s) relates to the preparatory work • Selection for assessment • The ‘qualities’ not the ‘quantity’ • Submissions that show the ‘good’ with the ‘bad’ • Submissions that show a journey over ‘time’ • Any unrelated work to accompany the work produced in response to the set ‘theme’ • Any imbalance in meeting the Assessment Objectives. In presenting your work are you … Or are you… BAD GOOD

- 17. A/A* LEVEL 6 - 21- 24 D - Informed ideas are fully and maturely developed, reflecting a sophisticated response to contextual and other sources, with evidence of mature and sustained investigation. Demonstrates sophisticated and sustained analysis and critical understanding. E - Sophisticated and sustained exploration and mature selection of relevant resources, media, materials, techniques and processes. Sophisticated and sustained review and refinement of work as it develops R - Sophisticated and mature recording of ideas, observations and insights to reflect intentions. Sophisticated ability to reflect critically on work and progress. P - A personal and meaningful response showing sophisticated and mature realisation of intentions. Connections made between visual and other elements, where appropriate, are sophisticated and mature. Related study Sophisticated and sustained communication of ideas with thorough exploration, refinement and excellent critical and contextual understanding. Extensive and sophisticated handling of specialist language and vocabulary in recording is demonstrated.
