Managing GCSE coursework
Description
In design and technology, GCSE coursework presents a major challenge. In this programme, two teachers show the different ways they encourage pupils to take more independent control of their GCSE coursework. Lorraine John believes that giving pupils maximum freedom to choose design briefs is what works best for her pupils.Stuart Barker teaches electronics at Coopers Technology College in Kent and his approach is to stress the importance of researching the product to fit a particular market. He also believes that pupils can learn a lot from examining the work of previous years pupils, whereas Lorraine believes that this can limit creativity.
