AQA GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES A 8062/13 Paper 1: Christianity Mark scheme June 2023 GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES A 8062/13 Paper 1: Christianity Mark scheme June 2023 Version: 1.0 Final *236G 062/13/MS* MARK SCHEME – GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES A – 8062/13 – JUNE 2023 2 Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject examiners. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all examiners participate in an d is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each examiner analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, examiners encounter unusual answers wh ich have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

MARK SCHEME – GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES A – 8062/13 – JUNE 2023 3 Mark Schemes for GCSE Religious Studies This paper requires expert markers who have wide knowledge and understanding of the particular subject content of the Specification. With the exception of the multiple -choice question, many of the questions asked have many different creditable answers and students are able to bring to their answers their own knowledge, understanding and background. They will offer details, arguments and evidence which the examiner, with the help of the mark scheme, will need to judge as creditable or not. It is therefore important that the examiner has a good understanding of the principles and spirit of the mark scheme in order to be fair and consistent when marking students’ answers. The Content included is designed to be as helpful as possible but in many cases is not exhaustive. So Content sections are introduced by the sentence: Students may include some of the following points, but all other relevant points must be credited: this is to remind examiners that there may well be additional correct answers which, with their expertise, they will be able to allow. With all questions if an examiner has any doubt about answers being credit worthy they should consult their team leader. Structure The mark scheme for each question shows: The question; Each question is printed in full before its target and mark scheme. It is always important that examiners remind themselves of the exact question being asked. In particular, they will need to do this in instances wh ere the answer appears to be ‘straying’ from the question set or perhaps offers a valid alternative not included in the mark scheme Target; The target provides the specific assessment objective which the question is testing. It reminds examiners of the skills the question is designed to test, eg knowledge and understanding, evaluation The total marks available for the question and if Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar is assessed The typical answer(s) or content which are expected Generic instructions related to the question target of how to award marks (i.e. levels of response grid). Themes papers guidance (Specification A & Short Course) In questions where students may choose religions from which to illustrate their answer, there may be some general Content, ie credible comments which students will make which could be applied to any religion or perhaps to a secular viewpoint as well. Where these are appropriate they are usually given first. The Mark Scheme will also include, under separat e headings, Content sections for each of the six religions allowed within the Specifications. General Guidance .../.. means that these are acceptable alternative answers in the mark scheme, eg Guru Har Krishan / Guru Tegh Bahadur / Guru Gobind Singh. Answers may include specialist terms, in Hebrew or Arabic for example. If this is the case, the mark scheme will usually indicate this by providing in brackets the English as well, eg ‘Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)’. In such questions, answers will be credited whether provided in the original language or in English. Some mark schemes use bullet points to separate content. Each bullet point refers to a different possible ‘belief’ or ‘teaching’ or ‘way’, depending on th e question. Obliques (.../..) used within the bullet point indicate different ways in which the point may be expressed and points which may be made to give the further detail or development needed for the second mark.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
