MARKING INSTRUCTIONS PREPARATION FOR MARKING SCORIS 1. Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: Scoris Assessor Online Training; OCR Essential Guide to Marking. 2. Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. These are posted on the RM Cambridge Assessment Support Portal http://www.rm.com/support/ca 3. Log-in to Scoris and mark the 10 practice responses (“scripts�) and the 10 standardisation responses YOU MUST MARK 10 PRACTICE AND 10 STANDARDISATION RESPONSES BEFORE YOU CAN BE APPROVED TO MARK LIVE SCRIPTS. MARKING 1.
Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
2.
Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3.
The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the Scoris 50% and 100% (traditional 40% Batch 1 and 100% Batch 2) deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
4.
If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone or the Scoris messaging system, or by email.
5.
Work crossed out: a. where a candidate crosses out an answer and provides an alternative response, the crossed out response is not marked and gains no marks. b. if a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question and makes no second attempt, and if the inclusion of the answer does not cause a rubric infringement, the assessor should attempt to mark the crossed out answer and award marks appropriately.
6.
Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case any answers have been continued there. If the candidate has continued an answer there then add a tick to confirm that the work has been seen.

7.
There is a NR (No Response) option. Award NR (No Response) - if there is nothing written at all in the answer space - OR if there is a comment which does not in any way relate to the question (e.g. ‘can’t do’, ‘don’t know’) - OR if there is a mark (e.g. a dash, a question mark) which isn’t an attempt at the question Note: Award 0 marks - for an attempt that earns no credit (including copying out the question)
8.
The Scoris comments box is used by your team leader to explain the marking of the practice responses. Please refer to these comments when checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason. If you have any questions or comments for your team leader, use the phone, the Scoris messaging system, or e-mail.
9.
Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to your Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the marking period. The Assistant Examiner’s Report Form (AERF) can be found on the RM Cambridge Assessment Support Portal (and for traditional marking it is in the Instructions for Examiners). Your report should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common errors or weaknesses. Constructive criticism of the question paper/mark scheme is also appreciated.
10.
For answers marked by levels of response: a. To determine the level – start at the highest level and work down until you reach the level that matches the answer. b. To determine the mark within the level, consider the following:
Descriptor On the borderline of this level and the one below Just enough achievement on balance for this level Meets the criteria but with some slight inconsistency Consistently meets the criteria for this level
Award mark At bottom of level Above bottom and either below middle or at middle of level (depending on number of marks available) Above middle and either below top of level or at middle of level (depending on number of marks available) At top of level

(a)
Answer Five marks from: Analysis of table data (sub max 3): 1. (Car increase) 2. (Air increase) 3. (Rail decline) 4. (Bus decline)
Guidance
6 (6 x AO3)
Sub max 3 for inferences use of data from table
Car journeys has increased from 27 to 83 % / is three times more popular than in 1952 / has become the most important form of transport compared to other modes. Air travel is ten times more popular – from 0.1% to 1.1%
For analysis of the table, figures indicating change must be given to receive marks.
Rail travel was not very important in either the 20th or 21st century – only 17 and 9% respectively Bus travel was the most common form of transport (42% in 1952) but is now one of the rarest types of journey (5%)
Accept other valid inferences from the table data.
Transport changes and their effects on sport (sub max 3): 5. (Participation) 6.(Spectatorship) 7. (Flexibility /scheduling) 8. (Activity levels) 9. (International sport) 10. (Rail fares)
Marks
Increased participation due to increased private car ownership Increased spectatorship due to increased private car ownership Increased flexibility of playing sport due to increased car ownership Reduced activity levels as more journeys taken by car rather than walking Increased opportunity for international sport due to cheap air travel Increased rail fares may limit participation
7
Credit use of data only when describes change. Quoting individual figures is too vague. Sub max 3 for points from own knowledge Points must state effects on sport to receive credit. ‘More people own cars in the 21st century’ = too vague

Answer
Marks
Five marks from: 1. (Urbanisation) 2. (Hours) 3. (Health) 4. (Income) 5. (Saturday half day) 6. (Factory owners) 7. (Reduced hours) 8. (Middle class) 9. (Seaside excursions)
Guidance
5 (AO2) Urbanisation reduced space to play sport 72-hour week left little time to participate in sport Poor hygiene /disease / injury limited participation Low wages meant lack of disposable income to participate Saturday half day increased opportunity for participation Factory Owners set up teams to increase participation 56-hour week increased time and energy to participate. Emergence of middle class gave them increased wealth to participate in greater range of sport Seaside excursions increased participation in swimming / bathing
9
Points must describe effect on working class participation to gain credit. ‘People had low wages’ = too vague.

4. (Screens) 5. (Education) 6. (Punditry) 7. (Motion capture)
Practice Paper 4 (AO1)
Action replays / slow motion replays can add drama / rewatch entertaining moments Rewind/ fast-forward function means people can rewatch key moments or fast-forward dull moments New camera angles / more cameras can increase entertainment e.g. stump camera in cricket, helmet cameras in motor racing / horse racing. Giant screens in stadia / larger televisions increase entertainment. More camera angles / replays can improve knowledge of sport Replays, multiple camera angles facilitate punditry which can increase entertainment before, after and during games. Motion capture analysis can add information e.g. how far footballers have run and where.

H555/03 (b)
Mark Scheme Six marks from:
6 (AO3)
Positives (sub max 4) 1. (Sponsorship)
Sports gaining media coverage will gain more sponsorship which can benefit athletes. 2. (Funding) Sports gaining media coverage and sponsorship can increase funding to develop participation / facilities / elite performance 3. (Rule changes Media pressure may lead to rule changes that make sport / entertainment) more entertaining e.g. 20/20 cricket, Hawkeye reviews in tennis / cricket 4. (Spectators) Increased availability of sport for spectators due to increased media coverage. 5. (Sponsors) Sponsors generate revenue from association with sports and performers and from increased media coverage Negatives (sub max 4) 6. (Event timings) 7. (Inequality) 8. (Reduction in funding) 9. (Pressure to win) 10. (Participation imbalance) 11. (Advertising) 12. (Life pressure)
Practice Paper
Media can influence when and how sport is played so timings may not be good for certain audiences e.g. Olympic events designed for American audiences Sponsorship disproportionately benefits athletes in sports in which the media is particularly interested e.g. men’s football Lack of media interest in some sports reduces sponsorship and funding Media funding increases pressure to win or get sponsorship so can damage integrity of sport / win at all costs attitude / increase drug taking / violence Sportspeople may disproportionately choose sports with extensive media coverage and sponsorship at cost of other sports. Advertising increases due to sponsorship and media pressure can detract from the sporting event itself. Media and sponsorship can add to pressure on athletes and their families
12
Look for points that combine consideration of sport, media and sponsorship.
