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 will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 18 General Marking Guidance • Marking is positive: marks must not be deducted for errors or inaccuracies. • Scripts must be annotated to show how and where marks have been awarded. • Crossed out work should be marked wherever possible unless the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response or its inclusion would infringe the rubric. • Poor spelling, handwriting or grammar should not be penalised as long as the answer makes sense, unless the mark scheme states otherwise. In addition, for scoris-marked papers: • Ensure that you have completed the training for on-screen marking before you complete your practice and standardisation scripts. • A blank space, dash, question mark, or a response that bears no relation to the question constitutes a ‘no response’ rather than a zero. • Answers that are not written on the answer lines, or in the correct answer space, should still be marked. • If there are blank pages, these must be checked and annotated “BP” if the candidate has not written anything on them. Use the tick etc, as normal, if the candidate has written something worthy of credit. Use the cross, etc, if the candidate written something which is not worthy of credit. • Some candidates use additional sheets of paper and you must check these sheets in the same way as blank pages. You will be prompted whenever a candidate has done this.

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 3 of 18 Note The mark scheme cannot cover all points that candidates may make for all of the questions. In some cases candidates may think of very strong answers which the mark scheme has not predicted. These answers should be credited according to their quality. If examiners are in any doubt about an answer they should contact their team leader or principal examiner. For answers marked by levels of response: a. Mark grids describe the top of each level. b. To determine the level – start at the highest level and work down until you reach the level that matches the answer. c. To determine the mark within the level, consider the following: Descriptor Award mark On the borderline of this level and the one below At bottom of level Just enough achievement on balance for this level Above bottom and either below middle or at middle of level (depending on number of marks available) Meets the criteria but with some slight inconsistency Above middle and either below top of level or at middle of level (depending on number of marks available) Consistently meets the criteria for this level At top of level

Mark scheme, page 11

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 11 of 18 Question Answer Marks Notes 3(a) Indicative Content A fact is information or data that can be verified or proven to be true The following examples of facts may be found in Source 4: • My mum says that mobile telephones are wonderful • She (mum) doesn’t worry about me so much • The internet makes communicating much cheaper. • Expert psychologists estimate that only 45 per cent of communication is through spoken language. • Eye contact and gestures help us to understand what someone is trying to say. • Research at the university shows that bullying is now easier • Photographs and emoticons help others understand what I am trying to say Level 3 (3 marks) Strong response The response demonstrates clear understanding of the nature of facts and applies this accurately to a correct example identified from the source. Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response The response demonstrates some understanding of the nature of facts and attempts to apply this to a correct example identified from the source. The explanation lacks some clarity and accuracy. Level 1 (1 mark) Basic response The candidate identifies one fact from the source correctly but does not explain the reason; the response demonstrates very little or no understanding of the nature of facts. Level 0 (0 marks) No relevant or creditworthy material. 3 Further Guidance If the example is incorrect the candidate must score 0 even if the reasoning suggests some understanding of the nature of facts. The example must be drawn from Source 4.

Mark scheme, page 12

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 12 of 18 Question Answer Marks Notes 3(b) Indicative Content A prediction is generally defined as a statement suggesting something which is likely to happen in the future. The following examples of predictions may be found in Source 4: • These benefits mean that the use of mobile telephones will grow. • Learning how to communicate with others will become more difficult in the future (because of mobile telephones). Level 3 (3 marks) Strong response The response demonstrates clear understanding of the nature of prediction and applies this accurately to a correct example identified from the source. Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response The response demonstrates some understanding of the nature of prediction and attempts to apply this to a correct example identified from the source. The explanation lacks some clarity and accuracy. Level 1 (1 mark) Basic response The candidate identifies one prediction from the source correctly but does not explain the reason; the response demonstrates very little or no understanding of the nature of predictions. Level 0 (0 marks) No relevant response or creditworthy material. 3 Further Guidance If the example is incorrect the candidate must score 0 even if the reasoning suggests some understanding of the nature of prediction. The example must be drawn from Source 4.

Mark scheme, page 13

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 13 of 18 Question Answer Marks Notes 3(c) Indicative Content Candidates are expected to evaluate the reasoning in the two statements and compare their effectiveness. They should make a supported judgement with some explanation about which person has the most effective reasoning. Candidates may consider the following types of issue: • quality of the argument – clarity – tone – emotive; exaggerated; precise – language – balance • quality of the evidence – relevance – sufficiency – sample – source – date – how recent – factual, opinion, value, anecdote – testimony – from experience and expert • knowledge claims • ability to see • sources of bias – gender – political – personal values – experience • likelihood of solutions working and consequences of their ideas • acceptability of their values to others • how likely other people are to agree with their perspective / view 12

Mark scheme, page 14

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 14 of 18 Question Answer Marks Notes Level 5 (11–12 marks) Very good response Clear, credible and well supported points about which reasoning works better. Coherent, structured evaluation of both arguments with clear comparison. The response is likely to contain three (or more) developed evaluative points, and may include some undeveloped points. A clear judgement is reached. Level 4 (8–10 marks) Strong response Clear, supported points about which reasoning works better. Evaluation of how well the reasoning works for both arguments with comparison. The response is likely to contain two (or more) developed evaluative points and may include some undeveloped points. A wide range (four or more) of undeveloped but clearly appropriate points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level. A judgement is reached. Level 3 (5–7 marks) Reasonable response Reasonable points about which reasoning works better. Some evaluation of how well the reasoning works for one or both arguments with an attempt at comparison. Judgements and evaluative points are likely to be partially supported or asserted. One (or more) developed evaluative point(s), possibly with some undeveloped points; a range (three or more) of undeveloped points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level. An attempt is made to give an overall judgement.

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 15 of 18 Question Answer Marks Notes Level 1 (1–2 marks) Limited response Limited and unsupported points about which reasoning works better. The response is likely to consider the arguments briefly and / or tangentially. There is little clarity. Answers at this level may repeat source material with little understanding or simply agree / disagree with the arguments presented. The response may not contain any clear evaluative points. Level 0 (0 marks) No relevant response or creditworthy material

Mark scheme, page 16

0457/33 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 16 of 18 Question Answer Marks Notes 4 Indicative Content Candidates are expected to argue using reasons and evidence to justify their opinion and judgement about the issue i.e. the impact of mobile telephones and social media on communication. Candidates are expected to use and develop the material found in the sources, but should go beyond simply repeating or recycling without adaptation. Other material may be introduced but it is not necessary to gain full marks. Candidates are likely to consider the following arguments: • reference to scale of impact on individual / group / governmental behaviour / actions • how long it takes to make a difference • the effects of cultural differences and beliefs • barriers to change • the power of collective action • the difficulties of changing individual behaviour • the influence of individuals and groups acting locally • the role of vested interests and power differences • potential conflict • difficulties in coordinating globally and across different countries with independence • cost and access to resources to implement change • governmental responses and action • other reasonable response 18 Further Guidance The second set of bullet points in the question are to guide candidates and do not have to be specifically addressed to gain full marks. Candidates may discuss either mobile telephones or social media or both and be rewarded fully.
