[25] (0–6) A few simple remarks about human behaviour, or about different ways of studying humans, might be worth two or three marks. Higher in the band, answers will contain a few basic observations about socialisation and may offer some assertions about the part it plays in shaping human behaviour. There will be little or no reference to appropriate sociological evidence and arguments at this level.

(7–12) Answers here are likely to be descriptive and confined to an account of the ways in which socialisation may influence human behaviour. At the lower end of the band, the answer may be limited to an account of the agencies of socialisation and/or the stages of socialisation. A

    Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all examiners participate in and 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 which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Principal 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.…
