It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2019 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

0637/01 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 10 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

Aspect Discussion Motherhood Some women have no choice or control about when they become mothers because they have a lack of knowledge. Some women will have many children as they are unable to use contraception due to religious beliefs. Some women will have no choice about where they have their baby because of finances or lack of choice. Marriage Some cultures arrange marriages and so the woman may not choose her husband. In some countries women are chosen a husband and intended to marry when they are still children themselves. In some cultures and religion same sex marriage is not allowed. In some religions a woman must change her faith or religion to marry the person of her choice. Contraception Some women can take control of their fertility meaning they chose when to have children.

The candidate has attempted only part of the question. Responses are bullet points or not clearly explained or relevant. 8–11 Medium level response The candidate has answered all parts of the question although without the same depth. The candidate has described each method of feeding and there may be some explanation of the different methods. The candidate has outlined some disadvantages of each method of feeding. There may be some discussion of why parents might choose each method of feeding. 12–20 High level response All parts of the question have been responded to well and in depth. The candidate has explained the different methods of feeding and has outlined possible disadvantages of each method. There is a discussion of why parents might choose each method. Indicative content: There are two choices for feeding – breast or bottle. Bottle feeding involves making up milk using dried powder and water. The water needs to be sterilised otherwise this can cause stomach infections. Breast feeding is best for babies because it contains all the required nutrients, vitamins and minerals and is at the right temperature, consistency and always available. There are also benefits from breastfeeding for health as babies will have some immunity passed from their mothers. Some mothers might choose to breastfeed because their water is not safe for drinking or is not easily available. Some mothers choose to breast feed because it is free and they do not need to buy feeding equipment. Some mothers choose to breast feed because they feel it is better for their babies health. Mothers might bottle feed for different reasons. They might find breast feeding uncomfortable and so decide that bottle feeding is better. Some mothers might want to share feeding with their partner who will give a bottle. Some mothers will mix breast and bottle feeding. This allows them to spend time away from their baby, such as when they return to work. Some parents might feel embarrassed about breastfeeding and so they chose to bottle feed instead. Breastfeeding can be difficult. Some mothers find it painful as they suffer from cracked nipples or get an infection of the milk ducts known as mastitis. Some people are conscious of their bodies and do not want to feed their babies in public. Some mothers feel that they do not produce enough milk for their growing baby and so they stop breastfeeding. Bottle fed babies are more prone to infections such as gastroenteritis. This is because equipment needs to be kept sterile. This can be difficult for parents as they need to make sure bottles are cleaned and correctly sterilised after each use. Bottles and sterilising fluid, machines or equipment can be expensive. It is important not to overheat bottles as this can burn babies’ mouths. 20

There may be some discussion of how hormones can affect a male’s emotions. 12–20 High level response All parts of the question have been responded to well and in depth. The candidate has explained the physical changes a male goes through during puberty. There are several examples of how some cultures may view a young male’s progression into adulthood. There is a discussion of how hormones can affect a male’s emotions during puberty. Indicative content: During puberty males experience a deepening of their voice. Males will have an increase in height and their shoulders will broaden. They might put on more muscle and their jaw may widen. Male’s penis will enlarge and he will produce semen. This is when he ejaculates fluid when aroused. This is in readiness for sexual intercourse and fertilising eggs. The testicles enlarge and hang slightly lower away from the body. This is where sperm is produced. During puberty males may experience changes in their emotions. They will have an increase in the production of testosterone and this can sometimes make males feel aggressive. They might start to have sexual feelings and become frequently aroused. They might become more aware of other people they desire. These feelings can be quite powerful. As males are turning into adults, they might also feel confused and upset at times. They might feel that they should not cry and become frustrated as they find new ways to express their strong emotions. This might be the time that males become aware of their sexuality and this might lead them to question whether they are attracted to females or males. This can be a stressful time and they may experience feelings of guilt or shame if their sexuality is not accepted by their families. Young males might be physically aggressive towards each other as they experience the same strong emotions around the same time. Each culture treats puberty differently. In some religions, it is a time for great celebrations. Some religions mark the event by having parties and celebrations for the male. In some cultures, they might have an initiation or a rite of passage. This could involve proving they are brave or strong. In some cultures, physical activity takes place such as hunting or lifting something of great weight. In some cultures this will be the time when families start to plan for the males wedding and start to look for a possible partner. In some cultures, males will leave home and live independent lives away from their family. In other cultures, there is no event or celebration and the male will continue to be treated as a child for many years to come. 20
