Details
Over the past few years, Ofqual has invested in a programme of research into what we now refer to as the ‘CASLO’ approach to qualification design.
Engaging with the literature has been an important part of our research into the CASLO approach, although it proved to be a challenging literature to engage with. This report outlines criticisms from the core literature.
