OUCEA has published a report entitled “Research evidence relating to proposals for reform of the GCSE”.
Assessment reform is an ongoing process in England, with many issues being revisited periodically. This report focuses on current proposed reforms, but we have framed it in a way that we hope will be useful for future reforms as well as for people in other countries. We report a great deal of relevant research that has been conducted on the reform topics, although the answers to some of our questions remain inconclusive.
You can download the report as a pdf here.
