| Abstract: | Teacher-conducted assessments of practical skills are a compulsory component of GCSE examinations in science in England and
Wales. The paper presents some of the findings of a research project that investigated this aspect of a science teacher's
work. The project was concerned principally with the ways in which science teachers interpreted and operationalised the policy
decision of central government and examination boards that teachers assume responsibility for the internal assessment of the
practical competence of pupils aged 14–16 preparing for GCSE examinations in science.
