SECTION A: INTRODUCTION TO CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
QUESTION 1
Read the following paragraph below and answer the question.
At the learner school, district, or province level, data collection, measurement, and
analysis are challenging, to say the least. The South African School Administration and
Management System (SA-SAMS), which is owned by the DBE and offered to schools
without charge, is where the majority of learner level data from all South African schools
are kept. However, historically it has proven to be very difficult to collect and combine
this data at the province, district, and circuit levels. The system hasn't been utilized to its
full potential in previous years because it was constructed on an outdated technological
foundation with insufficient data validation and no connectivity. South African schools are
currently implementing SA-SAMS, a new information system.
1.1. Explain in detail the new information that is being implemented in South African
schools using SA-SAMS. (10)
Read the following statement and thereafter answer the questions below.
1.2 The leadership style of an educator directly impacts on the characteristics and
behaviour of the learners that the educator leads or teaches.
1.2.1 In your own words explain what your understanding is of the statement above. (2)
1.2.2 Choose your leadership style. (2)
1.2.3 Support your response with your preferred style/s of leadership showing how the
leadership style can impact the character of the learners. Your answer should be in a
paragraph form. (10)
