Design and Technology (Design Engineering / Fashion and Textiles / Product Design) A Level

Assessment

For Component 01 (Personal investigation) there are two separate sets of marks to be awarded. For the practical portfolio a mark for each Assessment Objective will be awarded out of maximum of 24 marks. For the related study, a single mark should be awarded, out of a maximum of 24 marks, using the holistic descriptors provided. Each Assessment Objective has been given equal weight in each holistic descriptor and also appropriately rewards learners for the quality of their extended response. These five marks should be recorded on the Assessment Record Sheet provided and totalled to give a final mark out of a maximum of 120 for this component. For Component 02 (Externally set task) a mark for each Assessment Objective will be awarded out of a maximum of 20 marks. These four marks should be recorded on the Assessment Record Sheet found on the OCR website, and totalled to give a final mark out of a maximum of 80 marks for this component. OCR will provide exemplification through learner work which will help to clarify the level of achievement the internal assessors should be looking for when awarding marks.
