Note on updates to BTEC National Set Tasks for external assessment (April 2017): following direct feedback from the Department for Education, Pearson has made updates to the Set Tasks for some BTEC National qualifications, with resulting changes made to this product as a result. Anyone who purchased this book before 13th April 2017 can find full details of these changes at www.pearsonfe.co.uk/BTECchanges, and corrected copies became available to purchase from June 2017 onward. Each Student Book and ActiveBook lays out a wide range of supportive features clearly throughout, aiding both learning and teaching at every stage: ‘Getting to know your unit’ sections build genuine understanding of grading criteria and requirements from the outset, and ‘Getting ready for assessment’ sections prepare learners thoroughly for external assessment with clear hints, tips and sample answers across a full range of question types, each backed by supporting commentary. Regular ‘Pause Point’ features let learners self-evaluate their own progress at set intervals, choosing Hint or Extend to either revisit a topic or pursue further independent research, while ‘Case study’ and ‘Theory into practice’ features place theoretical learning into real-life situations learners could genuinely encounter to build problem-solving skills. Assessment practice features, built around a clear Plan, Do and Review structure, support formative assessment throughout by clarifying goals and encouraging honest reflection on how to improve, and dedicated ‘Think future’ pages bring in genuine industry case studies focused squarely on real-world skills development and the further study that follows the course.
