It is aimed at delivering a benefit or change for a particular community or wider society.  \nTaking ‘Citizenship Action’ in an authentic out-of-classroom context, allows students to understand that their actions as active citizens can make a difference.  \nIt allows students to apply citizenship knowledge, understanding and skills. In addition, they gain different citizenship insightsand appreciate different perspectiveson how we live together and make decisions in society.  \nGCSE Citizenship Studies  \nWhat are the aims of‘Citizenship Action’?  \nThey will carry out an investigation leading to ‘Citizenship Action’ andwill develop the following skills:  \n• Research and enquiry  \n• Interpretation of evidence (including primary and secondary sources)  \n• Planning  \n• Collaboration  \n• Problem-solving  \n• Advocacy and campaigning  \n• Evaluation  \nThese transferable skills have great academic benefit across the wider curriculum and beyond.  \nGCSE Citizenship Studies  \nWhat are the aims of‘Citizenship Action’?  \nEmpowering: It gives students the opportunity to take responsible actions and play a positive role in public and democratic life as informed and active citizens.  \nDeveloping active citizens: students and centres have free choice of‘Citizenship Action’, so students can engage with topics close to their hearts while they develop skills in research and investigation, problem solving, advocacy and campaigning.  \nReflects current issues, questions and debates: students develop knowledge and understanding of the role of citizenship, in relation to current issues that impact on modern society.

The choice of action will depend on the issue or challenge which they are addressing and what they intend to achieve.  \nGCSE Citizenship Studies  \nHow is ‘Citizenship Action’ assessed?  \nStudents will be assessed on the investigation and action they have undertaken through a series of examination questions.  \nSection A of Paper 2 will focus on assessing the ‘Citizenship Action’.  \n• This part is worth 15% of the total qualification.  \n• A maximum of 24 marks are available.  \nThis comprises of one question divided into a number of separate parts. Tasks will require short and medium responses, and will end with a 12-mark task.  \nStudents must base all of their answers on the knowledge and understanding that they have gained while carrying out their‘Citizenship Action’.  \nIn the examination, students will be required to provide the title of their ‘Citizenship Action’ which identifies and summarises what action was taken, in no more than 20 words.  \nGCSE Citizenship Studies  \nAssess","cbCaibj4VGbWmpnt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibj4VGbWmpnt","pdf",441381,1,22,"English","en",105,"# What is ‘Citizenship Action’?\n## What are the aims of ‘Citizenship Action’?\n## Differences from Old Specification to Current Specification\n## How is ‘Citizenship Action’ carried out?\n## How is ‘Citizenship Action’ assessed?\n## Assessment Objectives in GCSE Citizenship Studies\n## When in the course should this be covered?\n## Stages of planning: Stages 1-3","[{\"question\":\"What does ‘Citizenship Action’ mean in GCSE Citizenship Studies?\",\"answer\":\"‘Citizenship Action’ is a planned course of informed action to address a citizenship issue or question of concern, aiming to deliver a benefit or change for a community or wider society.\"},{\"question\":\"What skills do students develop through Citizenship Action?\",\"answer\":\"Students carry out investigations and develop research and enquiry, interpretation of evidence, planning, collaboration, problem-solving, advocacy and campaigning, and evaluation.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Citizenship Action assessed in the current GCSE (9-1) specification?\",\"answer\":\"Students are assessed through a series of examination questions focused in Paper 2, Section A.
