QUESTION 1
If a curriculum developer wants to prepare learners for the 21st century, what knowledge
and skills should be included, given the diverse South African context? These skills are
listed in section 1.2.5 in your textbook. Provide an example of each of these competencies
in your own words. You will only receive marks for your own examples. [10]
QUESTION 2
Your task is to write an essay in response to the following statement:
As interpreter and developer of the curriculum, it’s insufficient for the educator to
give a narrow definition to the concept “curriculum” There are different definitions
and aspects of “curriculum”.
Discuss the statement in an essay of three to four pages.
Please note: In your answer, describe the different ways of understanding curriculum and
how these different understandings relate in some ways to each other, referring to the
intended and enacted curriculum. Curriculum, both as prescription and in practice, is not
neutral, but carries values and is a political issue. On the one hand the curriculum is seen
as an intention, plan or prescription, an idea of what one would like to happen in schools.
On the other hand, it is seen as the existing state of affairs in schools, what in fact does
happen. To illustrate your points, define a curriculum by referring to the different aspects
to be considered. [20]
QUESTION 3
Study the excerpt on the next page carefully before responding to the following questions:
3.1 Write down the grade that you are going to teach this lesson for.
3.2 Compile a short test of five questions.
The test has to count 15 marks.
The questions have to meet the criteria for good questioning.
The questions have to be on at least three different levels of Bloom’s
taxonomy.
Only one reproductive (lower order) question may be asked.
Indicate on which level of Bloom’s taxonomy the question was formulated.
You do not need to compile the memorandum, but the mark allocation for
each of the questions should be clear. [20]
