If topic knowledge is not assessed in 0457, what is?: Skills. The syllabus states that knowledge of content is not assessed; topics such as Arts in society are a context for practising research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, communication and collaboration.
What is the difference between a topic and an issue?: "Arts in society" is the topic. "Should governments fund the arts?" is an issue: an important subject or problem for discussion that divides opinion.
How is a value different from evidence?: "Culture is a right" is a value. "Ticket prices rose last year" is evidence. Values cannot be proved; evidence can be tested.
What is the difference between a course of action and its outcome?: The action is what someone does (a youth arts pass). The outcome is its effect (more young people attending). Always say how you would measure the outcome.
How can one issue, such as returning museum objects, be seen at global, national and local level?: Global: objects held across continents. National: laws on what national museums may give away. Local: one museum's single item. Moving between levels is a mark of a strong answer.
What is the difference between bias and vested interest?: Bias is in how a source presents material. Vested interest is a reason the author might be biased. Show the bias from the text; do not just name the interest. Figures from an arts organisation are not automatically neutral.
