1/Level 2 First Award in Creative Digital Media Production  \nSpecification  \nFirst teaching January 2013 Issue 4  \nEdexcel, BTEC and LCCI qualifications  \nEdexcel, BTEC and LCCI qualifications are

They have a proven track record in improving motivation and achievement among young learners . Additionally, BTECs provide progression routes to the next stage of education or into employment.  \nBTECs are evolving  \nInformed by recent policy developments, including the Review of Vocational Education – The Wolf Report (March 2011), we have designed this new suite of BTEC Firsts to:  \n● ensure high quality and rigorous standards  \n● conform to quality criteria for non-GCSE qualifications  \n● be fit for purpose for learners, pre-or post-16, in schools and in colleges. We conducted in-depth, independent consultations with schools, colleges, higher education, employers, the Association of Colleges and other professional organisations. This new suite builds on the qualities – such as a clear vocational context for learning and teacher-led assessment based on centre-devised assignments – that you told us make BTECs so effective and engaging.  \nThis new suite introduces additional features to meet the needs of educators, employers and the external environment. They are fully aligned with requirements for progression – to further study at level 3, into an apprenticeship or into the workplace. We believe these features will make BTEC even stronger and more highly valued.  \nWhat are the key principles of the new suite of BTEC Firsts?  \nTo support young people to succeed and progress in their education, we have drawn on our consultations with you and embedded four key design principles into the new BTEC Firsts.  \n1 Standards: a common core and external assessment  \nEach new Level 2 BTEC First qualification has an essential core of knowledge and applied skills . We have introduced external assessment appropriate to the sector. This provides independent evidence of learning and progression alongside the predominantly portfolio-based assessment.  \n2 Quality: a robust quality-assurance model  \nBuilding on strong foundations, we have further developed our quality-assurance ","cbCaipZelohYluio","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipZelohYluio","pdf",4615712,142,"English","# Welcome to your BTEC First specification\n## BTECs are evolving\n## What are the key principles of the new suite of BTEC Firsts?\n## 1 Standards: a common core and external assessment\n## 2 Quality: a robust quality-assurance model\n## 3 Breadth and progression: contextualised English and mathematics\n## 4 Recognising achievement: opportunity to achieve at level 1\n## Improved specification and support","[{\"question\":\"What does Issue 4 of the BTEC First Creative Digital Media Production specification cover?\",\"answer\":\"It provides the BTEC Level 1/Level 2 First Award specification effective from January 2013, including the four key design principles and the structure of standards, quality assurance, progression and achievement recognition.\"},{\"question\":\"How is learning assessed in the new BTEC Firsts?\",\"answer\":\"Each qualification combines an essential core of knowledge and applied skills with external assessment, alongside predominantly portfolio-based, teacher-led assessment using centre-devised assignments.\"},{\"question\":\"What quality assurance activities are required for BTEC learners and centres?\",\"answer\":\"Independent scrutiny through external assessment is required, assessors take part in sampling and quality review during the teaching cycle, and Pearson visits each centre every year to review and support quality processes.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the specification handle learners who cannot achieve a Pass at Level 2?\",\"answer\":\"It includes an opportunity for learners to gain a level 1 qualification, recognising that some learners may not achieve a Pass at Level 2.\"}]","BTEC FIRST Award Specification - Issue 4 - First teaching January 2013 | PDF",1792466311,358]
