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.
This document is the first in a series of reports that present our findings and conclusions. It sets the scene for the remaining reports by explaining:
- why we embarked upon the programme
- how we decided what it ought to include
- how its different strands fit together
Authors
Paul E. Newton, Milja Curcin, Latoya Clarke, and Astera Brylka, from Ofqual’s Standards, Research, and Analysis Directorate.
Acknowledgements
We are extremely grateful to all of our colleagues within Ofqual who have supported the CASLO research programme in so many ways.
