Crowd-sourced specification guide
For this task, you will
work in small teams in your own time to put together a guide to what is
currently available for a particular level for a particular subject.
The
options are for the groups of three:
A level Media Studies (AQA, OCR,
WJEC)- Emma, Chris, Simone
GCSE Media Studies (AQA, OCR, WJEC)- Bex, Tammana, Rhocea
A level Film Studies (WJEC and OCR)- Rime, Danielle, Sonal
The
options for the pairs are:
GCSE Film Studies (WJEC)- Reece, David
BTEC and Cambridge Technicals in
Media (Level 2, Pearson and OCR)- Neil, Dan
You
will need to find the current specifications and examples of exam papers from
the exam board websites
What
you need to find out
What’s
on offer across the exam boards?
How
many students complete the course for each board each year?
What
are the differences between the specifications?
What
are the exams like?
What
is the coursework like?
What
philosophy seems to underlie each specification?
What
do teachers think of them?
What
do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each?
Most
of this research can be done by looking online, but you may wish to contact
people for views- it’s up to you!
For GCSE and A level, you
will also need to find out what the implications are for the subject and level
as a result of the subject criteria proposals. These can be found here:

here:
You
might find these sites useful for general data:
There
is also a critique by David Buckingham on the MEA site from 2014:
You may collate and
present your findings in any way you wish- it could be a document for
circulation, a video, a PowerPoint/Keynote, a Prezi, a Wiki, a blogpost-
whatever you like! But it must be ready to share by 9am next Tuesday (29th)
and everyone in the group must contribute (roughly) equally.
