3  SBA is 20% of the Final Mark  SBA mandatory  *Paper 032 (Alternative to SBA)  Consists of four (4) Skills to be tested  2 year period  Random Sampling

4  Measurement/Manipulation (MM)  Organisation/Recording/Reporting (ORR)  Analysis and Interpretation (AI)  Planning and Design (PD)

5  Terms 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Points I-IV)

6  Enhances learning of Scientific Knowledge  Motivates students  Gives insight into the Scientific Method and Develops Expertise in using it  Develops “Scientific Attitudes”  Teaches Laboratory Skills

7  Syllabus coverage  Quantity of Activities (marked or not)  Individual work of Adequate Quality  Number of Graph work (>5)  Student Feedback  Mark Schemes  Standard of Marking  Appropriate Criteria

8  Proper Mark Scheme  Indicate Skill  Mark Breakdown  Listing of Laboratory Exercises  Table of Contents (Lab Books)  Completed Moderation Sheet  List of Samples

9

10  All Relevant Fields Must be Completed

11

12

13  Section A  Usually completed upon Inspection  Too Few Assessments (<4)  Too Few Activities (<6)  Section B  All Lab Activities are counted (whether SBA or Not)  Syllabus Coverage is based on how many Different Topics are covered  Total Number is based on Total Lab Activities done (whether SBA or not)  Section C  Based Totally on SBA Labs Only

14 E

15  (a) Graph Work  >5 – Very Good  5- Satisfactory  <5- Unsatisfactory  (b) Standard of Practical Exercises  Book with Highest mark examined  Grading based on CXC Mark Scheme for ORR (#5)  (c) Planning & Design  “Standard” PD marks automatically Halved  Highest & Lowest Moderated score ignored  Remaining scores totalled  >49 – Very Good  30-49- Satisfactory  <30- Unsatisfactory

16  (d) Observation, Recording & Reporting  Grading based on CXC Mark Scheme for ORR (#1,2,3 or #4,6)  (e) Analysis & Interpretation  Highest & Lowest Moderated score ignored  Remaining scores totalled  >49 – Very Good  30-49- Satisfactory  <30- Unsatisfactory

17  (a) >2 Graphs Must have been analysed  (b) >10 Diagrams (adequately Sized and Fully Labelled)  (e) Interpretation in Discussion/Conclusion

18  (a) Marking was consistent  All books– Very Good  Most books- Satisfactory  Few books- Unsatisfactory  (b) Marking Reflected Standard Expected  Teacher and Moderated score compared  +/- 2 variance allowed for marks to be considered to be of expected standard  Number of scores that are of expected standard counted  >8 – Very Good  6-8- Satisfactory  <6- Unsatisfactory

19  (c) Correction of student’s work  Criteria/Marks/Comments– Very Good  Criteria/Marks - Satisfactory  No breakdown - Unsatisfactory

20  SBAs are very beneficial to students and are a useful tool to connect the Syllabus content with the “Real World”  Prepare your List of Labs and Mark Schemes before-hand (enough Syllabus coverage and correct Skills)  Do your SBAs early....avoid rushing them down  Give students feedback  Submit all relevant paperwork to CXC when requested (complete all necessary fields)  Be aware of Deadlines!
