Which term refers to the set of content that indicates what should be learned and how far it should extend?

• A. Sample contexts
• B. Indicative content
• C. Resources
• D. Amplification

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is how curriculum content is defined in a qualification. The term that fits best is indicative content because it sets out the topics and the depth or extent of coverage required. It acts as a clear guide for what must be learned and how far the learning should extend, ensuring consistency across learners and assessments. This differs from sample contexts, which are example scenarios to apply knowledge; from resources, which are the materials used to teach; and from amplification, which adds extra detail but doesn’t establish the required scope. In criminology, indicative content would outline the essential topics (and the level of detail) students need to study to meet the assessment criteria.
