process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide
where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there.’

examine the effects of globalisation. They will be required to use examples from the case

topic whilst formulating an answer, which in turn will develop their understanding of the
topic.
