It requires them to practise a range of citizenship skills including: research and enquiry, interpretation of evidence, including primary and secondary sources, planning, collaboration, problem solving, advocacy, campaigning and evaluation.  \nTaking citizenship action – course requirements  \nStudents must carry out an in-depth, critical investigation leading to citizenship action as described above. The investigation and action can be based on any aspect or issue arising from the course content and should be designed to have an impact locally, nationally or globally. There are many types of investigation and action that students can take that use different methods and citizenship skills. The choice of action will depend on the issue or challenge they are addressing and what they intend their action to achieve.  \nIn considering the focus of their citizenship activity, students will need to be realistic about the likelihood of their aims being wholly or partially met. However, students will not be penalised where an action did not go as planned.  \nStudents will be assessed on the investigation and action they have undertaken through a series of examination questions in Paper 2 that comprise 15% of the total marks. In the examination, students will also be required to provide, in no more than 20 words, the title of their citizenship action.  \nAuthentication of the citizenship action  \nCentres must provide written confirmation that students entered for the qualification have completed their own in-depth investigation and citizenship action.  \nTeachers must complete, sign and date the Taking Citizenship Action Form which can be found in the specification (Appendix 1). The Taking Citizenship Action Form is also available on page 5 of this document. If you prefer an electronic version of the form, it is available HERE. Completed and signed forms should be uploaded via the website by 15th May every year of assessment.  \nFailure to return the Taking Citizenship Action Form on time will constitute malpractice on the part of the Centre, see page 23 of the specification. The deadline date for submission is 15th May.  \nTaking Citizenship Action form  \nTeacher declaration  \nI declare that each student listed below is entered for the Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Citizenship Studies and has carried out an in-depth, critical investigation leading to citizenship action, as defined abo","cbCaij4Eco0zSUWK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij4Eco0zSUWK","pdf",342036,"English","# General information\n# Taking Citizenship Action Form\n## Uploading your Taking Citizenship Action form\n# Introduction\n## Taking citizenship action – course requirements\n# Authentication of the citizenship action\n# Teacher declaration\n# Uploading your Taking Citizenship Action Form","[{\"question\":\"What is citizenship action in this qualification context?\",\"answer\":\"Citizenship action is a planned course of informed action addressing a citizenship issue or question of concern, aimed at delivering a benefit or change for a community or wider society.
