All rights reserved\n2\nAQi\nIn October we launched AQi: an exciting new online hub for insight, data and new thinking on the future of assessment and qualifications.\nWe hope AQi will be an essential destination for those looking for insight on assessment and qualifications.\nIt features blogs, discussion papers and events, and aims to provide a neutral platform for exchanging views.\nThe website has launched with a major report: What Next For GCSEs? written by our Head of Policy and Public Affairs – James Lloyd. The report looks at the past, present and future of GCSEs, reviews options for reform, and explores what young people who recently took GCSEs think of them.\n3\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved\nWhat makes good assessment?\nPrinciples of an assessment system\nAssessment systems are founded on the belief that all students deserve a fair opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.\nAwarding bodies design valid and reliable assessments that focus on testing subject knowledge and skills.\nFair assessment allows students to demonstrate what they have learned and achieve the results they deserve.\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved\n4\nWhat do we mean by fair?\nAQA assessment is based on 40 years of academic research to ensure our assessments are fair for students of all abilities.\nvalid\nreliable\ncomparable\nFair =\nAssessments measure what they are supposed to measure.\nAssessments accurately measure across the ability range.\nEach grade must reflect the same standard series by series.\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors.

All rights reserved\n6\nOrigin of the content and assessment model\nThe content and skills that we assess are set out in the subject criteria from the Department of Education (DfE).\nThe GCSE science specification is nearly 100% based on the criteria at A-level. Only 60% comes from DfE. The remaining 40% can be decided by the awarding body.\nThe assessment model for both A-level and GCSE is designed and regulated by Ofqual.\nBoth can only change if they are reformed by the DfE and Ofqual, but that doesn’t mean there has to be wholescale reform of all subjects.\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved\n7\nAssessment models in GCSE science\nSince 1988, the content and methods of assessment used in GCSEs have evolved significantly.\nOver the past 40 years there have been a number of different assessment models used for GCSE science. These include:\nmodular multiple choice tests with summative assessment and with resit opportunities\ncore, additional and separate science papers which could be taken at the end of a year, containing a mix of question types\nthe current summative system, taken after two years, with mixed question types.\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors.
