Grade: [Please specify the grade you're referring to]
Subject: [Please specify the subject you're referring to]
1.1 Aims/Purposes:
Here are five possible aims/purposes for the subject according to CAPS (These are general examples
and might need to be adapted based on the actual subject):
Develop a deep understanding of key concepts and principles in [subject].
Foster critical thinking skills to analyze and solve real-world problems related to [subject].
Enhance creativity and innovation through practical applications of [subject] principles.
Cultivate effective communication skills to express ideas related to [subject] clearly and persuasively.
Promote ethical awareness and responsible behavior in the context of [subject] knowledge and
applications.
1.2 Topics in Term 2:
Again, provide specific topics from Term 2 based on the actual subject you're referring to:
[Topic 1]
[Topic 2]
[Topic 3]
[Topic 4]
[Topic 5]
1.3 Definition of 'Assessment' in the Subject:
Define 'assessment' as per CAPS in the context of the subject. It generally refers to the process of
evaluating a learner's understanding, skills, and knowledge related to the subject.
1.4 Steps Involved in Assessment:
The assessment process typically involves these steps:
Planning: Determine what aspects of the subject you're assessing and how.
Designing Assessments: Create a variety of assessment activities (e.g., tests, projects) that align with
learning objectives.
Administering Assessments: Give the assessments to learners under fair and consistent conditions.
Collecting Data: Gather data on learners' performance through assessments.
Analyzing Data: Evaluate the collected data to understand learners' strengths and areas needing
improvement.
Providing Feedback: Share constructive feedback with learners on their performance.
Reflecting and Improving: Assess the effectiveness of the assessment process and adjust it for
improvement.
1.5 Active and Critical Learning Principle:
This principle emphasizes encouraging students to actively engage with the learning process, think
critically, and avoid memorization of facts without understanding.
1.5.1 Understanding of the Principle:
This principle means that students should be encouraged to think deeply about the subjects they're
learning, ask questions, analyze information, and apply their understanding to real-world situations.
Instead of merely memorizing facts, they should develop the ability to think critically, solve problems, and
develop a deeper understanding of concepts.
1.5.2 Attaining the Principle in a Lesson:
To promote active and critical learning in a lesson, a teacher could assign an assessment activity that
requires students to:
Analyze a real-world problem related to the subject.
Research and gather information independently.
Formulate their own solutions or arguments based on their understanding.
Present their findings and reasoning in a creative format, such as a presentation or debate.
This type of assessment encourages students to actively engage with the subject matter, think critically,
and apply their knowledge to practical scenarios, aligning with the principle of active and critical learning.
