The Challenge of Teaching Synoptic Economics (Paper 3)
5th October 2016
AQA, Edexcel and OCR have re-introduced the assessment of economics in a synoptic fashion as part of the new specifications, with the first Paper 3 exams in June 2017. Success in these Papers will be about more than just revising everything covered in the micro and macro papers. What topics might get covered in the synoptic paper? What additional skills should teachers cover in preparation for this ‘full picture’ test of student knowledge and understanding? This CPD webinar examined the key challenges.
Having watched the webinar, you may also want to take a look at my blog post on our Professional Teacher channel which addresses methods for setting up self-marking multi choice tests and assignments..
