A mediator is a person who makes it possible for an idea to be TRUE

environment 4) Inclusivity.
False, these are the principle of inclusion as described on page 5 of the
white paper
Range statements, guide educators in the level of complexity that FALSE
learners should achieve as stipulated in the RNCS document.
False, Range statements were only used in C2005, in the NCS they were
replaced by Assessment standards
Assessment Standards are closely linked to learning outcome to be TRUE
reached by the learner.
Assessment can include self-assessment, peer assessment and TRUE

An empirical or experiential curriculum approach refers to a pre-modern FALSE
view spokesperson like Tyler, Gagne and Hunkins can be associated with
this approach.
A humanistic curriculum approach refers to a pre-modern view TRUE
spokesperson like Tyler, Gagne and Hunkins can be associated with
this approach.
The Educator as life-long learner must commit himself/herself to stay TRUE
informed about developments in learning and teaching
methodologies.
False, this is the function of a mediator of learning
White paper No 6 explains inclusive education and training. TRUE
The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) was created to bring TRUE
together education and training, and consequently, close the gap
between the two.
In their planning teachers might also use discovery learning where they TRUE
need learners to draw on their experiences and prior knowledge to
work towards solutions.
The National Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) replaced TRUE
Outcomes Based Education (OBE)
Tools to be used in designing learning programmes that lead to teacher TRUE
education qualifications, such as levels, credits and integrated and
applied knowledge, are discussed in the new policy on minimum
requirements for teacher education qualifications.
The department of Higher Education is responsible for monitoring the FALSE
performance of Schools and Teachers.
With whole-school development in mind and working towards the TRUE
holistic development of the teacher, there are four important key
stages of planning. 1) Strategic School Planning, 2) Phase Planning, 3)
Planning per grade, 4) Lesson Planning.
Walvoord (2004 2-5) and Lambert and Lines (2000 4) define the TRUE
assessment process as the systematic collection of information about
the learners' learning, using the time, knowledge, expertise and
resources available to make informed decisions about how to improve
learning.

, CUS3701 STUDY SUMMARY
The “broader” definition of curriculum is a more inclusive concept. It includes all
opportunities for learning in a historical perspective and socio-political context. True
1.2 Curriculum developers have to decide what the pacing of the content or course is.
False
1.3 Sequencing ensures progression, coherence and a consistent curriculum. False
1.4 Selection of key content and concepts for a subject involves the choice of
knowledge and skills. False
1.5 The word curriculum refers to a plan for learning. False
1.6 Curriculum design refers to the cyclic process of design, implementation and
evaluation to achieve concrete results. False
1.7 Tyler’s model focuses on assessment with an emphasis on an objective
evaluation instrument.
1.8 Stenhouse’s model focuses on the reflections of participants as an important
aspect in assessment.
1.9 Freire’s model focuses on the teacher as a critic and not a marker therefore; self-
assessment is important.
1.10 Covert curriculum refers to “teaching not spelt out – to develop attitudes and
skills”
May/June
Assessment criteria must be a well-defined standard against which a teacher's
performance can be measured. False
1.2 Formulating new equations using all unknowns is an example of a question on the
creation/synthesis cognitive category. True
1.3 The teacher who increases his or her wait time in response to learners provides a
further opportunity for sustained discussion in the classroom. True
1.4 The greatest advantage of simulation as a teaching strategy is that it is true to life.
True
1.5 Cognitive guided instruction is one teaching strategy that can be used to help the
teacher understand the learner's way of thinking. False
1.6 The NCS and the CAPS set the same learning outcomes for all learners. True
