Unit 10: Information - reliability, validity and bias
Section 5: Activity 5

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to apply evaluation criteria
  • to make informed judgements on the quality of presentation

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Ask pupils to demonstrate their completed presentation and to determine the success of their presentation by applying their chosen evaluation criteria.
  • Discuss with pupils the bias shown in their presentation, the accuracy of the information contained in it and what they might change to lessen the impact of the bias.
  • understand the value of success criteria in determining the success of a project
  • apply criteria and make judgements about their project

Points to note

  • Pupils will need to have a copy of their criteria and then take each criterion in turn and apply it to the project. They will need to decide on:
    • whether they have met the requirements of the criterion
    • how well each criterion is met
    • what areas need to be improved
    • how each area for development could be improved
  • Homework could involve pupils writing about the bias of their presentation, what could be done to change it and how bias might affect accuracy and veracity.
