  • Referencing the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF)
    Referencing the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF) to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Report 2019 Referencing the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Referencing Report 2019 1 This page has been left blank deliberately. Referencing the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Referencing Report 2019 2 PREFACE The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) was first referenced to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) in 2009. This referencing was published in 2010 as part of a report on the referencing of the National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs) of the four UK countries to the EQF. In the intervening eight years since publication, the SCQF has developed considerably, with the revision of SCQF Level Descriptors, the redefinition of SCQF Principles and a considerable expansion in the range and number of qualifications on the Framework. In 2015/16, a pilot project was undertaken to establish if the original referencing outcomes continued to be a true reflection of links between the SCQF and EQF. This report builds on the work completed in the pilot and provides a revised and updated analysis of the SCQF/EQF referencing. This report sets out the evidence that the SCQF continues to meet the ten criteria and ten quality assurance principles which govern referencing to the EQF. To provide a context for the reader, it also describes political, legal and social context in which the SCQF operates, explains the nature of the learning landscape in Scotland insofar as it relates to the SCQF, and describes the different kinds of qualifications in the Framework.

We have listened to feedback from all parts of the mathematics subject community, including higher education. We have used this opportunity of curriculum change to redesign a qualification that reflects the demands of a wide variety of end users, as well as retaining many of the features that have contributed to the increasing popularity of GCE Mathematics in recent years. We provide the following. ● A simple, intuitive specification, with the same content as GCE Advanced Level in Mathematics, so that there is no new content to teach students who want to take this Pearson Edexcel Advanced Extension Award (AEA) in Mathematics. ● Clear, familiar examinations – the Advanced Extension Award (AEA) exams are necessarily demanding but with the assessment approach staying the same, exams will follow a similar format to legacy AEA papers. ● Exam practice to fully prepare students for examinations. Although the content is the same as the GCE Advanced Level in Mathematics, the assessment is significantly different, so some practice to prepare for the exam is essential.
