2 INTRODUCTION This document contains a range of resources to support the teaching of case studies. It will be updated as more ideas are contributed. Please send to damian.ainscough@blackpool.gov.uk and you will receive the updated version. Version 3 With thanks to: Katie Rawcliffe [Bispham High School an Arts College] for the Simpsons, zoos and card sort ideas Mark Sergeant [St Mary s Catholic College] for the idea of teaching case study skills from Y7 onwards [perhaps one per year] Note: transitions are important on the overview slides. As these do not always work with different versions of PowerPoint, the sequence is shown in the notes section below the next slide.

18 Case study frameworks The following pages provide two frameworks for helping students to structure a case study. The first, a writing frame, immediately limits originality in presentation/format but may be useful for pupils in KS3/early KS4 as they are introduced to the idea of a case study. The second, the key components of a case study on cards, enables students to arrange these components in the format of their choice. [e.g. in a leaflet, talk, PowerPoint, formal report etc]. The vast majority of students should be given this flexibility when doing their final case study.

19 The big question Claim/opinion/view/argument X [including a scientific explanation] Claim/opinion/view/argument Y [including a scientific explanation] Available in MS Word

20 Claim/opinion/view/argument X Pictures/diagrams/charts to improve explanations Claim/opinion/view/argument Y Pictures/diagrams/charts to improve explanations Available in MS Word

21 Evidence to support argument X [with references] Evidence to support argument X [with references] Evidence to support argument X [with references] Evidence to support argument Y [with references] Evidence to support argument Y [with references] Evidence to support argument Y [with references] Available in MS Word

22 My conclusion [with scientific explanations] Other possible conclusions [with scientific explanations] List of sources [How relevant/ reliable are they?] Available in MS Word

23 OCR 21C Science Case study Preparation cards Imagine that you have to produce a television programme about a big question. The 14 cards have all the components of what needs to be in the programme. The big question Claim/opinion/ view/argument X [including a scientific explanation] Claim/opinion/ view/argument Y Pictures/ diagrams/ charts to improve explanations Your task is to arrange the cards into a form/ sequence which would give a structure to the programme about the big question. List of sources Claim/opinion/ view/argument Claim/opinion/ view/argument X You may then, in groups, attempt to write a story board or script based on a big question that you choose. [How relevant/reliable are they?] Y [including a scientific explanation] Pictures/ diagrams/ charts to improve explanations

24 A piece of evidence to support argument X A piece of evidence to support argument X A piece of evidence to support argument X Other possible conclusions [with scientific explanations] [with references] [with references] [with references] A piece of evidence to support argument Y A piece of evidence to support argument Y A piece of evidence to support argument Y My conclusion [with scientific explanations] [with references] [with references] [with references]

25 Strand Aspect of the work Strand mark A Planning use of sources Acknowledgements Mod T/L Internal referencing B C Using science knowledge evaluating scientific evidence Comparing arguments Conclusions D Structure and organisation Visual communication Quality of language

26 Assessment criteria - A A 1 mark 2 marks 3 marks 4 marks Planning the use of sources of information Acknowledgement of sources used. Linking information to specific sources Very little information is given beyond that provided by the original stimulus material. Sources of information are not mentioned Information from a limited range of additional sources is included, although some may be irrelevant or inappropriate to the study. Sources are identified by incomplete or inadequate references. - Direct quotations are rarely indicated as such. Relevant information is selected from a variety of sources. References to sources are clear, but limited in detail. Direct quotations are generally acknowledged. Sources of information are assessed for reliability as a basis for selection of relevant information from a wide variety of sources. References to these sources are clear and fully detailed. The sources of particular opinions or information are indicated at appropriate points in the text of the report.

27 Assessment criteria - B Making use of science explanations B 2 marks 4 marks 6 marks 8 marks Recognition and evaluation of scientific evidence. Only superficial mentions of science explanations, often not correctly applied to the case Sources are uncritically quoted without distinguishing between scientific evidence and unsupported claims. Provides a basic outline of the main scientific ideas which are relevant to the case. Science content and data in sources is recognised. Provides a detailed review of the scientific knowledge needed to understand the issues studied. Claims and opinions are linked to the scientific evidence they are based on. Considers how different views described in the study can be supported by detailed scientific explanations. The quality of scientific evidence in sources is evaluated in relation to the reliability of any claims made.

28 Assessment criteria - C C 2 marks 4 marks 6 marks 8 marks Comparing opposing evidence and views Conclusions and recommendations Information is unselectively reported without taking any clear view about any course of action. A conclusion is stated without reference to supporting evidence. Claims for a particular idea, development or course of action are reported without critical comment. A conclusion is based on evidence for one view only. Claims and arguments for and against are reported, but with little attempt to compare or evaluate them. Some limits or objections to the conclusion are acknowledged. Details of opposing views are evaluated and critically compared. Alternative conclusions are considered, showing awareness that different interpretations of evidence may be possible.

29 Structure and organisation of the report Use of visual means of communication Assessment criteria - D D 1 mark 2 marks 3 marks 4 marks Spelling, punctuation and grammar The report has little or no structure or coherence, or follows a pattern provided by worksheets. There is little or no visual material (charts, graphs, pictures, etc) to support the text. Spelling, punctuation and grammar are of generally poor quality, with little or no use of appropriate technical or scientific vocabulary. The report has an appropriate sequence or structure. Visual material is merely decorative, rather than informative. Spelling, punctuation and grammar are of variable quality, with limited use of appropriate technical or scientific vocabulary. Information is organised for effective communication of ideas, with contents listing, page numbering etc as appropriate to aid location of key elements. Visual material is used to convey information or illustrate concepts. Spelling, punctuation and grammar are generally sound, with adequate use of appropriate technical or scientific vocabulary. Considerable care has been taken to match presentation and format to present issues and conclusions clearly and effectively to a chosen audience. Pictures, diagrams, charts and or tables are used appropriately and effectively to convey information or illustrate concepts The report is concise, with full and effective use of relevant scientific terminology. Spelling, punctuation and grammar are almost faultless.
