Extract A The living conditions and jobs of workers did not worsen from the 1780s to 1812. Even though industrial processes developed rapidly, there were still many economic activities that were not affected very much by new inventions by 1812. Also, cities were not terrible places for workers. The workers took pride in their cities and enjoyed freedom from control by landowners there. Average incomes rose for most workers from the 1780s. Although some workers did not benefit from changes, this was not typical for most workers who had a positive experience. Real wages were increasing, and the earning power of women and children kept pace with the earnings of men. Adapted from A Briggs, A Social History of England, 1987 5 Extract B Industrialisation created problems for workers which the wealthier classes did not face. The workers had three choices. Firstly, they could try to become middle class; secondly, they could rebel; or thirdly, they could allow themselves to be ground down. There were some working men who did their best to join the middle classes. Also, some workers did rebel and smashed their machinery. Many smaller businessmen and farmers were sympathetic to the struggle of workers. However, for the most part, the workers faced changes that they did not understand. They faced poverty, exploitation and depression in towns and small-scale industrial villages. Many turned to alcohol or religion to accept or forget the poverty and humiliation. Adapted from E Hobsbawm, The Age of Revolution, 1789–1848, 1975 5 0 1 With reference to these extracts and your understanding of the historical context, which of these two extracts provides the more convincing interpretation of the impact of industrialisation on workers in the years 1783 to 1812?

This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

MARK SCHEME – AS HISTORY – 7041/1F – JUNE 2023 3 Level of response marking instructions Level of response mark schemes are broken down into levels, each of which has a descriptor. The descriptor for the level shows the average performance for the level. There are marks in each level. Before you apply the mark scheme to a student’s answer read through the answer and annotate it (as instructed) to show the qualities that are being looked for. You can then apply the mark scheme. Step 1 Determine a level Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether the answer meets the descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates the different qualities that might be seen in the student’s answer for that level. If it meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it meets this level, and so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With practice and familiarity, you will find that for better answers you will be able to quickly skip through the lower levels of the mark scheme. When assigning a level, you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not look to pick holes in small and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If the answer covers different aspects of different levels of the mark scheme you should use a best fit approach for defining the level and then use the variability of the response to help decide the mark within the level, ie if the response is predominantly Level 3 with a small amount of Level 4 material it would be placed in Level 3 but be awarded a mark near the top of the level because of the Level 4 content. Step 2 Determine a mark Once you have assigned a level you need to decide on the mark. The descriptors on how to allocate marks can help with this. The exemplar materials used during standardisation will help. There will be an answer in the standardising materials which will correspond with each level of the mark scheme. This answer will have been awarded a mark by the Lead Examiner. You can compare the student’s answer with the example to determine if it is the same standard, better or worse than the example. You can then use this to allocate a mark for the answer based on the Lead Examiner’s mark on the example. You may well need to read back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme to clarify points and assure yourself that the level and the mark are appropriat
