Part A Set Task Information
Stimulus material – article
Ofcom 2014 – Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes.
Developments in technology affect the ways in which we access, consume
and produce different types of media. Ofcom (Office of Communications,
the regulator for the communications industries) conducted research into
the changing use of media by children in the report Children and Parents:
Media Use and Attitudes. The following are edited extracts from that report.
Section 1
Executive summary
Our 2014 Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes report provides
detailed evidence on media use, attitudes and understanding among
children and young people aged 5–15, as well as detailed information about
media access and use among children aged 3–4.
Our report also includes findings relating to parents’ views about their
children’s media use, and the ways that parents seek – or not – to monitor
or limit such use.
Summary of key themes
This year’s report shows that:
ÂÂ There has been a significant increase in access to, ownership of and use
of tablet computers by children of all ages. In contrast, the incidence of
TVs and games consoles in the bedroom is declining, while smartphone
ownership remains steady.
ÂÂ Almost twice as many children aged 5–15 are going online via a tablet
than in 2013. At the same time, the number of those only using a device
other than a PC/laptop/netbook to go online has increased, and access to
the internet at home via a PC/laptop/netbook has declined.
ÂÂ 12–15 year olds are twice as likely to say they would miss their mobile
phone than the TV, say they spend more time going online than
watching television in a typical week, and say they prefer to socialise
online rather than watch TV. In contrast, younger children still prefer TV
to any other device, and spend more time in a typical week watching TV
than doing any other media activity.

S50147A
ÂÂ Gender differences are evident from an early age. Differences include
a preference for gaming among boys and for communicating online
among girls. Parents also treat boys and girls differently, monitoring some
aspects of girls’online activity more closely than boys’.
ÂÂ Older children are making judgements about the truthfulness of online
content, including search engine results and how accurately people
present themselves online.
Around a quarter of parents express concern about the media content their
child has access to, with concerns about the internet more likely among
parents of older children (8–15).
ÂÂ Nine in ten parents mediate their child’s access to the internet in some
way, with most parents using a combination of approaches including
using technical tools, having rules around access and use, regularly
talking to the child about specific risks and supervising the child’s online
activity.
Changes in children’s media consumption
Seven in ten children aged 5–15 now have access to a tablet computer
at home…
Children’s access to a tablet computer at home has increased from 51% to
71% for 5–15 year olds since 2013. In addition, use of a tablet computer at
home has increased by 20 percentage points since 2013 for children aged
5–15; six in ten (62% vs. 42%) in this age group, while four in ten children
aged 3–4 now use tablets at home (39% vs 28%).
Ownership of tablets has almost doubled, with one in three (34%) children
aged 5–15 now owning their own tablet computer, up from one in five
(19%) in 2013.
… and children are almost twice as likely to go online using a tablet
Four in ten children aged 5–15 year olds go online using a tablet computer,
almost twice as many as in 2013 (42% vs. 23%), while two in ten children
aged 3–4 go online using a tablet (20% vs. 12% in 2013). Tablets are now the
second most likely device – after laptops/netbooks – to be ‘mostly’used by
5–15 year olds to go online.
Going online using a mobile is also more likely…
Four in ten 5–15s own a mobile phone, rising to almost eight in ten children
aged 12–15. Children in each age group are more likely than in 2013 to use a
mobile phone to go online (36% vs. 27% for 5–15s).

This varies significantly by age, with 59% of 12–15s going online using a
mobile phone. This coincides with a big increase in smartphone ownership
at 13, when ownership jumps from four in ten for 12 year olds (41%) to
almost seven in ten for 13 year olds (67%). Among 12–15s the mobile
phone is the second most likely device to be ‘mostly’used to go online, after
laptops/netbooks, with tablets coming third.
… while access to the internet via a PC/laptop has decreased
For the first time since this survey began in 2005, access to the internet at
home via a PC/laptop/netbook by children aged 5–15 has decreased; from
91% in 2013 to 88% in 2014. At the same time the number of 5–15 year olds
who go online only through a device other than a PC/laptop/netbook has
doubled, from 4% to 8%.
*Despite these changes among 5–15 year olds, laptops/netbooks remain
the most popular device that are ever used to go online for each age group,
and the laptop/PC is the preferred device for finding information for school
work, among all age groups.
More kids have access to smart TVs but fewer have TVs and games
consoles in their bedroom
Smart TV access has increased, from 13% of 5–15 year olds in 2013 to 39%
in 2014. However, there have been decreases in the number of children
aged 5–15 having a TV in the bedroom (46% in 2014 vs. 52% in 2013) and a
games console/player in the bedroom (41% vs. 47%).
Gaming on tablets is on the rise, while gaming on some other devices
is falling
While the use of dedicated gaming devices has declined (77% vs. 81% in
2013), and use of computers/laptops for gaming has also decreased, use of
tablet computers to play games has increased among 5–15s (30% vs. 23%).
TV is the media device that would be most missed overall…
At an overall level, the television set is the device that children aged 5–15
would miss most, and television is also nominated by 5–15 year olds as the
media activity that they would prefer to do when given the choice. However,
preferences for media devices and media activities vary greatly by age,
and 12–15 year olds are twice as likely to say they would miss their mobile
phone, compared to the TV (37% vs. 18%). The TV set is the only media
device used almost every day by a majority of children aged 5 to 15. More
time is spent watching television every week (14.6 hours) than undertaking
any other media activity, although less time is now spent watching
television in a typical week than in 2013 (15.4 hours).

Around four in ten children aged 5–15 (38%) use an alternative device to
watch TV. While they are now more likely than last year to watch television
programmes on a tablet computer (20% vs. 15%), they are less likely to use
other alternative devices to watch TV.
Three-quarters of all 12–15 year olds (76%) and over half of 8–11s say
they never watch YouTube channels. Of those who watch TV channels and
YouTube channels, a quarter of the 12–15 year olds (25%) and three in ten
8–11 year olds (29%) say they prefer to watch YouTube.
But older children spend more time online and prefer mobile phones
for social activities
Children aged 12–15 spend more time going online than watching
television in a typical week (17.2 vs. 15.7 hours) and say they prefer to
socialise online rather than watch TV (33% vs. 20%).
Among 12–15s who go online, the mobile phone is the most popular
device for social and creative activities such as: arranging to meet friends
(71%); messaging friends (53%); looking at photos posted online (47%); and
sharing photos they have taken (45%).
8–11 year olds are spending more time online than in 2013
Children aged 8–11 are spending more hours per week using the internet than
in 2013 (10.5 vs. 9.2 hours). However, as with 12–15 year olds, children aged
8–11 tend to prefer using mobile phones for more social and creative activities.
Children are using a broader range of social media services, with
differences by gender
Seven in ten 12–15 year olds who go online have a social media profile, and
Facebook remains the dominant social media site or app among this group
of children. Use of Instagram has doubled to 36% since 2013. A significant
minority of 12–15 year olds with a social media profile use other photo- or
video-message sites or apps such as SnapChat.
Among those 12–15 year olds with a social media profile, boys are more
likely than girls to have a profile on YouTube (29% vs. 15%) while girls are
more likely than boys to have a profile on three sites or apps: Instagram
(42% vs. 30%), SnapChat (33% vs. 20%) and Tumblr (11% vs. 3%).
Girls aged 12–15 are more likely than boys to have any concerns or dislikes
about social media sites (73% vs. 52%); in particular, these relating to people
being bullied, spending too much time on these sites or apps, and friends
acting thoughtlessly or hurtfully.

Boys’ preference for gaming devices is evident from an early age…
Three in ten (30%) boys aged 3–4 use a handheld/portable games player,
compared to two in ten (21%) girls aged 3–4, while boys aged 5–7 are
almost twice as likely as girls to say they regularly use a games console/
player (29% vs. 17%). The gender gap widens as age increases (47% vs. 21%
for 8–11s, 52% vs. 19% for 12–15s). In contrast, girls aged 5–7 are more likely
than boys to play games on a tablet (36% vs. 23%).
Among 5–15 year olds, boys in each age group are over five times as likely
as girls to say they would most miss a games console/ player (15% vs. 1% for
5–7s, 22% vs. 4% for 8–11s and 22% vs. 3% for 12–15s).
… while girls are more likely than boys to miss mobile phones
and reading
While both boys and girls aged 12–15 would miss a mobile phone the
most, this accounts for almost half of girls (46%) compared to three in ten
boys (29%). Girls aged 12–15 are also more likely than boys to miss a tablet
computer (16% vs. 9%).
Girls aged 5–7 are more likely than boys to say they regularly use books,
magazines and comics (48% vs. 32%) and girls aged 5–7 and 8–11 are more
than twice as likely as boys to say they would miss books, magazines or
comics
Changes in children’s attitudes, behaviour and cognitive skills
More children are demonstrating a level of‘critical understanding’ in
relation to different sources of online information
Compared to 2013, it appears that 8–11 year olds are now less likely to
believe that all the information that they see on websites used for school
work or homework is true (20% vs. 36%), or that all the information found on
news sites or apps is true (12% vs. 26%).
There was a change in the survey’s focus, from a child’s use of media ‘at
home’in previous years to ‘at home and elsewhere’in 2014. Therefore, we
cannot be entirely confident that the differences since 2013 represent a ‘real’
change in attitudes over time.
It also appears that 12–15 year olds are now less likely than in 2013 to
believe that all the information they see on websites used for school work or
homework is true (16% vs. 30%), or that all the information found on news
sites or apps is true (8% vs. 18%).
Similarly, compared to 2013, children aged 12–15 are less likely to say that
all or most of the information on social media sites or apps is true (21% vs.
30%) and three in four 12–15s who go online (77%) agree that most people
behave in a different way online from when they talk to people face to face.

These findings indicate an increase in critical awareness of the truthfulness
of online content as well as a level of critical awareness of how accurately
people might present themselves online.
Word of mouth is important when discovering online and TV content…
When asked where they would go to find out about “fun things like hobbies
or interests”, 33% of 12–15 year olds say they would turn first to Google for
accurate and true online information, 26% to YouTube, and 18% to social
media. In terms of“how to build, make or create things”, 33% would turn first
to YouTube, a similar proportion as the 31% who would turn first to Children.
Children and parents: media use and attitudes report
Devices in the child’s bedroom
In order to understand more about children’s and young people’s media
habits, it is useful to know the various types of media activity that take place
in a child’s bedroom. Figure 9 below shows results for all children aged 5–15,
while Figure 10 shows how the results vary by each of the four age groups:
3–4, 5–7, 8–11 and 12–15.
TV
Virtually all children aged 3–4 (99%) or 5–15 (98%) have access to a
television at home. The incidence of having a television in the bedroom,
however, increases with each age group; accounting for one in five 3–4
year olds (19%), around one-third of 5–7 year olds (35%), just under half
of 8–11 year olds (45%), and just over half of 12–15 year olds (56%). Since
2013, there has been a decrease in the incidence of having a television in
the bedroom among children aged 5–15 (46% in 2014 vs. 52% in 2013). This
decrease is evident only among 8–11 year olds (45% vs. 53%), but Figure 10
shows a downward trend for each age group from 5 to 15 since 2007. Across
the socio-economic groups, having a television in the bedroom is less likely
than in 2013 for children in AB households (34% vs. 45%), but is unchanged
for other groups.
Games
Games consoles/games players (either fixed or portable) are the second
most common type of media device present in children’s bedrooms,
accounting for one in ten 3–4 year olds (10%), a quarter of 5–7 year olds
(27%), just under half of 8–11 year olds (44%) and half of 12–15 year olds
(50%). Compared to 2013, children aged 5–15 are now less likely to have a
games console/player in their bedroom (41% vs. 47%), with this decrease
evident for 8–11 year olds (44% vs. 53%) and 12–15s (50% vs. 57%). The
overall decline since 2013 in ownership of a fixed or portable games
console in the bedroom is evident for girls aged 5–15 (31% vs. 41%), but is
unchanged for boys aged 5–15.

Internet
Although most children aged 5–15 have PC/ laptop/netbook-based internet
access in the household (88%, as shown in Figure 1), a minority of 5–15
year olds (20%) have access to the internet in their bedroom through one
of these devices. The incidence increases with each age group; accounting
for very few in the 3–4 age group (1%), around one in 20 5–7 year olds (4%),
one in seven 8–11 year olds (15%), and two in five 12–15 year olds (38%).
Each of these measures is unchanged since 2013.
Radio
One in seven children aged 5–15 (14%) have a radio in their bedroom, with
this incidence increasing with the age of the child, accounting for very few
3–4s (2%), one in 20 5–7s (6%), one in seven 8–11s (14%) and one in five
12–15 year olds (19%). Each of these measures is unchanged since 2013,
following several years of a significant downward trend for each age group
from 5 to 15 since 2007, as shown in Figure 10.

Research methodology and analysis
This report provides an update to the Children’s Media Literacy Audits
published in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 20139. It draws on the
following surveys:
Media Literacy Tracker with children and parents: a quantitative tracking
survey conducted in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. In April/
May/June 2014, 1,660 in-home interviews with parents and children aged
5–15 were conducted, along with 731 interviews with parents of children
aged 3–4. In April/May/June 2013, 1,689 in-home interviews with parents
and children aged 5–15 were conducted, along with 685 interviews with
parents of children aged 3–4. In March/April 2012, 1,717 in-home interviews
were conducted with parents and children aged 5–15, with 1,717 in-home
interviews conducted in March/April 2011. In April/May and September/
October 2010, 2,071 in-home interviews with parents and children aged
5–15 were conducted. In April/May and September/October 2009, 2,131
in-home interviews with children aged 5–15 and their parents/carers
were conducted.
Young People’s Media Usage survey: a quantitative tracking survey,
conducted in 2007 and 2008, which was devised to provide Ofcom with
continued understanding of children’s behaviour in the UK communications
markets. During 2007,3,696 interviews with parents and children aged 5–15
were conducted, and 2,066 interviews with parents and children aged 5–15
were conducted during 2008. All interviewing was done in the home.
Media Literacy Audit: a quantitative survey that involved 1,536 in-home
interviews with parents and children aged 8–15 from June to August 2005,
and 2,068 in-home interviews among the same demographic between
October and December 2007.
In some instances, we make comparisons between this research, the Media
Literacy Tracker in 2009 and either the Young People’s Media Usage survey,
conducted in 2007 and 2008, or the Media Literacy Audits conducted in 2005
and 2007.
Significance testing at the 95% confidence level was carried out. This means
that where findings are commented on in the report, there is only a 5%
or less probability that the difference between the samples is by chance.
Statistically significant findings are indicated in the figures in the report by
circles or arrows.
Where possible, findings are shown for 5–15 year olds as well as for the
specific age groups (5–7, 8–11 and 12–15). However, some questions in
earlier surveys, and some questions in the current survey, were not asked of
all age groups.

Interviews conducted with parents of 3–4 year old children
As detailed above, in 2014 the Media Literacy Tracker was also conducted
with parents of children aged 3–4, with a total of 731 interviews conducted
in-home in April/May/June 2014. Findings have been shown for 3–4 year
olds wherever possible, with comparisons made between 2014 and 2013
findings for this age group and also comparing the findings for children
aged 3–4 and the older children interviewed for this survey.

Unit 5: Specialist Subject Investigation-
Sample marking grid
General Marking Guidance
● All learners must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first learner
in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
● Marking grids should be applied positively. Learners must be rewarded for what they
have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
● Examiners should mark according to the marking grid not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
● All marks on the marking grid should be used appropriately.
● All the marks on the marking grid are designed to be awarded. Examiners should
always award full marks if deserved. Examiners should also be prepared to award
zero marks if the learner’s response is not rewardable according to the marking grid.
● Where judgment is required, a marking grid will provide the principles by which
marks will be awarded.
● When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the marking grid to a
learner’s response, a senior examiner should be consulted.
Specific Marking guidance
The marking grids have been designed to assess learner work holistically.
Rows within the grids identify the assessment focus/objective being targeted. When
using a marking grid, the ‘best fit’ approach should be used.
● Examiners should first make a holistic judgement on which band most closely
matches the learner response and place it within that band. Learners will be
placed in the band that best describes their answer.
● The mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the
answer in response to the assessment focus/objective and will be modified
according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that band.
● Marks will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that band depending on how
they have evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.

Developments in technology affect the ways in which we access, consume and produce different types of media. Ofcom (Office of Communications, the regulator for the communications industries) conducted research into the changing use of media by children in the report Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes. The following are edited extracts from that report. Section 1 Executive summary Our 2014 Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes report provides detailed evidence on media use, attitudes and understanding among children and young people aged 5–15, as well as detailed information about media access and use among children aged 3–4. Our report also includes findings relating to parents’ views about their children’s media use, and the ways that parents seek – or not – to monitor or limit such use. Summary of key themes This year’s report shows that: ÂÂ There has been a significant increase in access to, ownership of and use of tablet computers by children of all ages. In contrast, the incidence of TVs and games consoles in the bedroom is declining, while smartphone ownership remains steady. ÂÂ Almost twice as many children aged 5–15 are going online via a tablet than in 2013. At the same time, the number of those only using a device other than a PC/laptop/netbook to go online has increased, and access to the internet at home via a PC/laptop/netbook has declined. ÂÂ 12–15 year olds are twice as likely to say they would miss their mobile phone than the TV, say they spend more time going online than watching television in a typical week, and say they prefer to socialise online rather than watch TV. In contrast, younger children still prefer TV to any other device, and spend more time in a typical week watching TV than doing any other media activity.

    Pearson BTEC Level3 Nationals in Creative Digital Media Production – Unit 5 – Final Sample Assessment Materials – Issue 1 – November 2015 © Pearson Education Limited 2015 6 6 S50147A ÂÂ Gender differences are evident from an early age. Differences include a preference for gaming among boys and for communicating online among girls. Parents also treat boys and girls differently, monitoring some aspects of girls’online activity more closely than boys’. ÂÂ Older children are making judgements about the truthfulness of online content, including search engine results and how accurately people present themselves online. Around a quarter of parents express concern about the media content their child has access to, with concerns about the internet more likely among parents of older children (8–15). ÂÂ Nine in ten parents mediate their child’s access to the internet in some way, with most parents using a combination of approaches including using technical tools, having rules around access and use, regularly talking to the child about specific risks and supervising the child’s online activity. Changes in children’s media consumption Seven in ten children aged 5–15 now have access to a tablet computer at home… Children’s access to a tablet computer at home has increased from 51% to 71% for 5–15 year olds since 2013. In addition, use of a tablet computer at home has increased by 20 percentage points since 2013 for children aged 5–15; six in ten (62% vs. 42%) in this age group, while four in ten children aged 3–4 now use tablets at home (39% vs 28%). Ownership of tablets has almost doubled, with one in three (34%) children aged 5–15 now owning their own tablet computer, up from one in five (19%) in 2013. … and children are almost twice as likely to go online using a tablet Four in ten children aged 5–15 year olds go online using a tablet computer, almost twice as many as in 2013 (42% vs. 23%), while two in ten children aged 3–4 go online using a tablet (20% vs. 12% in 2013). Tablets are now the second most likely device – after laptops/netbooks – to be ‘mostly’used by 5–15 year olds to go online. Going online using a mobile is also more likely… Four in ten 5–15s own a mobile phone, rising to almost eight in ten children aged 12–15. Children in each age group are more likely than in 2013 to use a mobile phone to go online (36% vs. 27% for 5–15s).

    Pearson BTEC Level3 Nationals in Creative Digital Media Production – Unit 5 – Final Sample Assessment Materials – Issue 1 – November 2015 © Pearson Education Limited 2015 7S50147A 7 Turn over This varies significantly by age, with 59% of 12–15s going online using a mobile phone. This coincides with a big increase in smartphone ownership at 13, when ownership jumps from four in ten for 12 year olds (41%) to almost seven in ten for 13 year olds (67%). Among 12–15s the mobile phone is the second most likely device to be ‘mostly’used to go online, after laptops/netbooks, with tablets coming third. … while access to the internet via a PC/laptop has decreased For the first time since this survey began in 2005, access to the internet at home via a PC/laptop/netbook by children aged 5–15 has decreased; from 91% in 2013 to 88% in 2014. At the same time the number of 5–15 year olds who go online only through a device other than a PC/laptop/netbook has doubled, from 4% to 8%. *Despite these changes among 5–15 year olds, laptops/netbooks remain the most popular device that are ever used to go online for each age group, and the laptop/PC is the preferred device for finding information for school work, among all age groups. More kids have access to smart TVs but fewer have TVs and games consoles in their bedroom Smart TV access has increased, from 13% of 5–15 year olds in 2013 to 39% in 2014. However, there have been decreases in the number of children aged 5–15 having a TV in the bedroom (46% in 2014 vs. 52% in 2013) and a games console/player in the bedroom (41% vs. 47%). Gaming on tablets is on the rise, while gaming on some other devices is falling While the use of dedicated gaming devices has declined (77% vs. 81% in 2013), and use of computers/laptops for gaming has also decreased, use of tablet computers to play games has increased among 5–15s (30% vs. 23%). TV is the media device that would be most missed overall… At an overall level, the television set is the device that children aged 5–15 would miss most, and television is also nominated by 5–15 year olds as the media activity that they would prefer to do when given the choice. However, preferences for media devices and media activities vary greatly by age, and 12–15 year olds are twice as likely to say they would miss their mobile phone, compared to the TV (37% vs. 18%). The TV set is the only media device used almost every day by a majority of children aged 5 to 15. More time is spent watching television every week (14.6 hours) than undertaking any other media activity, although less time is now spent watching television in a typical week than in 2013 (15.4 hours).

    Pearson BTEC Level3 Nationals in Creative Digital Media Production – Unit 5 – Final Sample Assessment Materials – Issue 1 – November 2015 © Pearson Education Limited 2015 8 8 S50147A Around four in ten children aged 5–15 (38%) use an alternative device to watch TV. While they are now more likely than last year to watch television programmes on a tablet computer (20% vs. 15%), they are less likely to use other alternative devices to watch TV. Three-quarters of all 12–15 year olds (76%) and over half of 8–11s say they never watch YouTube channels. Of those who watch TV channels and YouTube channels, a quarter of the 12–15 year olds (25%) and three in ten 8–11 year olds (29%) say they prefer to watch YouTube. But older children spend more time online and prefer mobile phones for social activities Children aged 12–15 spend more time going online than watching television in a typical week (17.2 vs. 15.7 hours) and say they prefer to socialise online rather than watch TV (33% vs. 20%). Among 12–15s who go online, the mobile phone is the most popular device for social and creative activities such as: arranging to meet friends (71%); messaging friends (53%); looking at photos posted online (47%); and sharing photos they have taken (45%). 8–11 year olds are spending more time online than in 2013 Children aged 8–11 are spending more hours per week using the internet than in 2013 (10.5 vs. 9.2 hours). However, as with 12–15 year olds, children aged 8–11 tend to prefer using mobile phones for more social and creative activities. Children are using a broader range of social media services, with differences by gender Seven in ten 12–15 year olds who go online have a social media profile, and Facebook remains the dominant social media site or app among this group of children. Use of Instagram has doubled to 36% since 2013. A significant minority of 12–15 year olds with a social media profile use other photo- or video-message sites or apps such as SnapChat. Among those 12–15 year olds with a social media profile, boys are more likely than girls to have a profile on YouTube (29% vs. 15%) while girls are more likely than boys to have a profile on three sites or apps: Instagram (42% vs. 30%), SnapChat (33% vs. 20%) and Tumblr (11% vs. 3%). Girls aged 12–15 are more likely than boys to have any concerns or dislikes about social media sites (73% vs. 52%); in particular, these relating to people being bullied, spending too much time on these sites or apps, and friends acting thoughtlessly or hurtfully.

    Pearson BTEC Level3 Nationals in Creative Digital Media Production – Unit 5 – Final Sample Assessment Materials – Issue 1 – November 2015 © Pearson Education Limited 2015 9S50147A 9 Turn over Boys’ preference for gaming devices is evident from an early age… Three in ten (30%) boys aged 3–4 use a handheld/portable games player, compared to two in ten (21%) girls aged 3–4, while boys aged 5–7 are almost twice as likely as girls to say they regularly use a games console/ player (29% vs. 17%). The gender gap widens as age increases (47% vs. 21% for 8–11s, 52% vs. 19% for 12–15s). In contrast, girls aged 5–7 are more likely than boys to play games on a tablet (36% vs. 23%). Among 5–15 year olds, boys in each age group are over five times as likely as girls to say they would most miss a games console/ player (15% vs. 1% for 5–7s, 22% vs. 4% for 8–11s and 22% vs. 3% for 12–15s). … while girls are more likely than boys to miss mobile phones and reading While both boys and girls aged 12–15 would miss a mobile phone the most, this accounts for almost half of girls (46%) compared to three in ten boys (29%). Girls aged 12–15 are also more likely than boys to miss a tablet computer (16% vs. 9%). Girls aged 5–7 are more likely than boys to say they regularly use books, magazines and comics (48% vs. 32%) and girls aged 5–7 and 8–11 are more than twice as likely as boys to say they would miss books, magazines or comics Changes in children’s attitudes, behaviour and cognitive skills More children are demonstrating a level of‘critical understanding’ in relation to different sources of online information Compared to 2013, it appears that 8–11 year olds are now less likely to believe that all the information that they see on websites used for school work or homework is true (20% vs. 36%), or that all the information found on news sites or apps is true (12% vs. 26%). There was a change in the survey’s focus, from a child’s use of media ‘at home’in previous years to ‘at home and elsewhere’in 2014. Therefore, we cannot be entirely confident that the differences since 2013 represent a ‘real’ change in attitudes over time. It also appears that 12–15 year olds are now less likely than in 2013 to believe that all the information they see on websites used for school work or homework is true (16% vs. 30%), or that all the information found on news sites or apps is true (8% vs. 18%). Similarly, compared to 2013, children aged 12–15 are less likely to say that all or most of the information on social media sites or apps is true (21% vs. 30%) and three in four 12–15s who go online (77%) agree that most people behave in a different way online from when they talk to people face to face.

    Pearson BTEC Level3 Nationals in Creative Digital Media Production – Unit 5 – Final Sample Assessment Materials – Issue 1 – November 2015 © Pearson Education Limited 2015 10 10 S50147A These findings indicate an increase in critical awareness of the truthfulness of online content as well as a level of critical awareness of how accurately people might present themselves online. Word of mouth is important when discovering online and TV content… When asked where they would go to find out about “fun things like hobbies or interests”, 33% of 12–15 year olds say they would turn first to Google for accurate and true online information, 26% to YouTube, and 18% to social media. In terms of“how to build, make or create things”, 33% would turn first to YouTube, a similar proportion as the 31% who would turn first to Children. Children and parents: media use and attitudes report Devices in the child’s bedroom In order to understand more about children’s and young people’s media habits, it is useful to know the various types of media activity that take place in a child’s bedroom. Figure 9 below shows results for all children aged 5–15, while Figure 10 shows how the results vary by each of the four age groups: 3–4, 5–7, 8–11 and 12–15. TV Virtually all children aged 3–4 (99%) or 5–15 (98%) have access to a television at home. The incidence of having a television in the bedroom, however, increases with each age group; accounting for one in five 3–4 year olds (19%), around one-third of 5–7 year olds (35%), just under half of 8–11 year olds (45%), and just over half of 12–15 year olds (56%). Since 2013, there has been a decrease in the incidence of having a television in the bedroom among children aged 5–15 (46% in 2014 vs. 52% in 2013). This decrease is evident only among 8–11 year olds (45% vs. 53%), but Figure 10 shows a downward trend for each age group from 5 to 15 since 2007. Across the socio-economic groups, having a television in the bedroom is less likely than in 2013 for children in AB households (34% vs. 45%), but is unchanged for other groups. Games Games consoles/games players (either fixed or portable) are the second most common type of media device present in children’s bedrooms, accounting for one in ten 3–4 year olds (10%), a quarter of 5–7 year olds (27%), just under half of 8–11 year olds (44%) and half of 12–15 year olds (50%). Compared to 2013, children aged 5–15 are now less likely to have a games console/player in their bedroom (41% vs. 47%), with this decrease evident for 8–11 year olds (44% vs. 53%) and 12–15s (50% vs. 57%). The overall decline since 2013 in ownership of a fixed or portable games console in the bedroom is evident for girls aged 5–15 (31% vs. 41%), but is unchanged for boys aged 5–15.

The incidence increases with each age group; accounting for very few in the 3–4 age group (1%), around one in 20 5–7 year olds (4%), one in seven 8–11 year olds (15%), and two in five 12–15 year olds (38%).

It draws on the following surveys: Media Literacy Tracker with children and parents: a quantitative tracking survey conducted in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. In April/ May/June 2014, 1,660 in-home interviews with parents and children aged 5–15 were conducted, along with 731 interviews with parents of children aged 3–4. In April/May/June 2013, 1,689 in-home interviews with parents and children aged 5–15 were conducted, along with 685 interviews with parents of children aged 3–4. In March/April 2012, 1,717 in-home interviews were conducted with parents and children aged 5–15, with 1,717 in-home interviews conducted in March/April 2011. In April/May and September/ October 2010, 2,071 in-home interviews with parents and children aged 5–15 were conducted. In April/May and September/October 2009, 2,131 in-home interviews with children aged 5–15 and their parents/carers were conducted. Young People’s Media Usage survey: a quantitative tracking survey, conducted in 2007 and 2008, which was devised to provide Ofcom with continued understanding of children’s behaviour in the UK communications markets. During 2007,3,696 interviews with parents and children aged 5–15 were conducted, and 2,066 interviews with parents and children aged 5–15 were conducted during 2008. All interviewing was done in the home. Media Literacy Audit: a quantitative survey that involved 1,536 in-home interviews with parents and children aged 8–15 from June to August 2005, and 2,068 in-home interviews among the same demographic between October and December 2007. In some instances, we make comparisons between this research, the Media Literacy Tracker in 2009 and either the Young People’s Media Usage survey, conducted in 2007 and 2008, or the Media Literacy Audits conducted in 2005 and 2007. Significance testing at the 95% confidence level was carried out. This means that where findings are commented on in the report, there is only a 5% or less probability that the difference between the samples is by chance. Statistically significant findings are indicated in the figures in the report by circles or arrows. Where possible, findings are shown for 5–15 year olds as well as for the specific age groups (5–7, 8–11 and 12–15). However, some questions in earlier surveys, and some questions in the current survey, were not asked of all age groups.

    Pearson BTEC Level3 Nationals in Creative Digital Media Production – Unit 5 – Final Sample Assessment Materials – Issue 1 – November 2015 © Pearson Education Limited 2015 30 1 Unit 5: Specialist Subject Investigation- Sample marking grid General Marking Guidance ● All learners must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first learner in exactly the same way as they mark the last. ● Marking grids should be applied positively. Learners must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. ● Examiners should mark according to the marking grid not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. ● All marks on the marking grid should be used appropriately. ● All the marks on the marking grid are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the learner’s response is not rewardable according to the marking grid. ● Where judgment is required, a marking grid will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded. ● When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the marking grid to a learner’s response, a senior examiner should be consulted. Specific Marking guidance The marking grids have been designed to assess learner work holistically. Rows within the grids identify the assessment focus/objective being targeted. When using a marking grid, the ‘best fit’ approach should be used. ● Examiners should first make a holistic judgement on which band most closely matches the learner response and place it within that band. Learners will be placed in the band that best describes their answer. ● The mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the answer in response to the assessment focus/objective and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that band. ● Marks will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that band depending on how they have evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.
