Evaluate how tourism in Kenya is managed.
This task will be marked out of 50 and will contribute 25% to your final GCSE grade. It is a
very important piece of work.
You are allowed approximately 12-15 hours of class time for the research and preparation
stage. This will involve work in class and any preparation done at home.

Research, data collection and preparation
You are allowed 12-15 hours for this stage. You should spend this time finding the
information that is required and planning your answer. You should use the following sources
of information to help you to complete your answer:
1.
Relevant notes, exercises, homework, etc. from your study of the growth of tourism in
Kenya and the changing tourist industry in the UK.
2.
Text books and information sheets which will be supplied by your teacher.
3.
Information from your own research, for example, internet sites, newspapers; videos;
library books (use both the school library and your local town library).
You must take care to plan your work carefully. Think about what you are going to include in
each section before you start to write. A page of A4 writing is about 300 words and
remember that you must include additional illustrative material, for example, maps, graphs,
diagrams, sketches, etc. With both your written and illustrative work, all items must be
relevant (connected with the title of the essay). Do remember that YOU MUST NOT COPY
INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM BOOKS OR WEBSITES. If you want to use a passage
from a book or from a website you must use quotation marks and say where you got it from,
Your teacher will show you the correct way of doing this.
Details of how to structure your answer are given on the next page. Use this to check that
you are doing everything you need to. You should also pay particular attention to the

CONTROLLED ASSESSMENT
EXEMPLAR FOR
THE CHANGING WORLD OF WORK
EXAM YEAR: 2017
WJEC set task:
Since 1960 there have been many changes in technology and working practices
in the work place
Using a secondary or tertiary industry of your choice:
Describe the production and marketing methods used by a large secondary or tertiary
industry.
Explain why new working practices have been introduced.
Analyse the role of technology in changes in the work place.
Evaluate the benefits of new working practices for people and environments.
Notes
The WJEC set task for 2017, above, assesses Main Learning Outcome 1 on page 36
of the specification. It focuses on changing working practices in manufacturing and
tertiary industries and their impacts on people and the environment.
The following exemplar may be used without the need to contact WJEC for approval.
It uses the drinks manufacturer Innocent as its context. Your centre may choose any
manufacturing or tertiary industry which illustrates changing working practices for
which you have suitable teaching and research resources. The following are
included:
Student guidance sheets;
Contextualised mark scheme;
Marking checklist for teachers.
Your centre may devise a task, contextualised from the WJEC set task above, on
globalisation and the role of organisations. If you decide to create your own task then
you are strongly advised to send it to the WJEC Support Officer for GCSE
Humanities for the comment of the Principal Moderator.

Student guidance notes (1)
Introduction
Following the ordinary class lessons in this unit of the course, you will be required to
complete a controlled assessment. This should take the form of an extended essay of up to
2000 words in length split into four sections and including additional maps, graphs,
diagrams, etc.
Your task is on changing working practices at Innocent and their impact on
people and the environment.
Describe the production and marketing methods used by Innocent.
Explain why Innocent uses modern working practices.
Analyse the role of technology at Innocent.
Evaluate whether working practices at Innocent have benefitted people and environments.
This task will be marked out of 50 and will contribute 25% to your final GCSE grade. It is a
very important piece of work.
You are allowed approximately 12-15 hours of class time for the research and preparation
stage. This will involve work in class and any preparation done at home.
Following this, you will have 5-8 hours of time to produce your answer. This is to be done in
class under test conditions.
You are not allowed to take any work home at this stage. This is the law.
24
Student guidance notes (2)
Research, data collection and preparation
You are allowed 12-15 hours for this stage. You should spend this time finding the
information that is required and planning your answer. You should use the following sources
of information to help you to complete your answer:
1.
Relevant notes, exercises, homework, etc. from your study of changing working
practices at Innocent and other manufacturing / service industries.
2.
Text books and information sheets which will be supplied by your teacher.
3.
Information from your own research, for example, internet sites, field visits, library
books (use both the school library and your local town library).
You must take care to plan your work carefully. Think about what you are going to include in
each section before you start to write. A page of A4 writing is about 300 words and
remember that you must include additional illustrative material, for example, maps, graphs,
diagrams, sketches, etc. With both your written and illustrative work, all items must be
relevant (connected with the title of the essay). Do remember that YOU MUST NOT COPY
INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM BOOKS OR WEBSITES. If you want to use a passage
from a book or from a website you must use quotation marks and say where you got it from,
Your teacher will show you the correct way of doing this.
Details of how to structure your answer are given on the next page. Use this to check that
you are doing everything you need to. You should also pay particular attention to the
marking scheme for this task which is given later.
