According to McNamee et al. (2007), the concept of caring involves more than simply
attending to basic needs; it demands a higher level of responsibility, encompassing
skills, knowledge, experience, and dedication. Caring is not solely an emotional response
—it engages complex capabilities carried out with commitment. Critically analyse this
statement in the context of Early Childhood Development (ECD), highlighting the role of
care as a fundamental aspect of nurturing and holistic development. Provide relevant
examples to support your discussion. Evaluate Bowlby’s attachment theory and explain
how it relates to the practice of care in ECD settings. Play is central to children’s holistic
development. Discuss how cultural practices and community values influence play and
learning in the Foundation Phase, and provide examples from a South African classroom
context. (10) Design an activity for Grade 2 that integrates cultural knowledge into a
Language or Life Skills lesson. (10) Explain Piaget’s concrete operational stage and its
relevance to learners in Grades 1–3. (10) Design a Mathematics activity aligned to CAPS
that demonstrates how learners in this stage can develop problem-solving skills. (10)
Play is often regarded as a key component of the learning process. Give your
interpretation of play and provide relevant examples. (10) Develop an activity for Grade
R to 3 (select one grade) that demonstrates how play can be incorporated into formal
learning to support specific learning objectives. Critically discuss the importance of
inclusive practices in the Foundation Phase classroom. (10) Develop a Grade R activity
that demonstrates how you would accommodate learners with diverse learning needs
using play-based strategies. (10) Play is often regarded as a key component of the
learning process. Give your interpretation of play and provide relevant examples. (10)
Develop an activity for Grade R to 3 (select one grade) that demonstrates how play can
be incorporated into formal learning to support specific learning objectives. Compare
formative and summative assessment, explaining their role in monitoring learner
,progress. (10) Create a Grade 3 Mathematics assessment task that combines both
formative and summative elements, aligned to CAPS requirements. (10) Transmissive
pedagogy and participatory pedagogy are often viewed as complementary approaches
within the teaching and learning process. Compare these two pedagogical approaches
and explain how they can be effectively combined in the classroom. (5) Select a theme
or concept from the CAPS curriculum for Grade R to 3 (choose one grade) and design a
lesson that incorporates both pedagogies. In your response, highlight how multimedia
resources and technology are integrated into the lesson. Explain Vygotsky’s concept of
the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and how it applies to language acquisition in
young learners. (10) Design a Grade 1 Language activity that demonstrates scaffolding
in practice. (10) Critically discuss the role of play in developing problem-solving and
creativity in children. (10) Plan a Grade R Mathematics activity that incorporates
structured play to develop number sense. (10) Explain the concept of the teacher as
mediator, drawing on Vygotsky’s theory. (10) Provide an example of a Grade 2 Life Skills
activity where the teacher acts as a mediator to guide learners towards independent
learning. (10) Play is often regarded as a key component of the learning process. Give
your interpretation of play and provide relevant examples. (10) Develop an activity for
Grade R to 3 (select one grade) that demonstrates how play can be incorporated into
formal learning to support specific learning objectives. Critically evaluate the advantages
and challenges of using digital resources in the Foundation Phase. (10) Design a Grade 3
lesson plan that incorporates tablets or interactive whiteboards to support a
Mathematics concept. (10) The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC) (1987) serves as a key framework for promoting children's rights and agency.
Design an activity that demonstrates how child agency can be incorporated while
respecting and upholding children’s rights. Your response should include: Describe the
significance of the UNCRC as a foundational document for promoting and protecting
children's rights. (5) An explanation of child agency and children's rights, supported by
relevant sources. (5) Clearly propose steps showing how child agency is embedded in
your planned activity or programme with children. Explain Erikson’s psychosocial stage
of “Initiative vs. Guilt” and its relevance to Foundation Phase learners. (10) Propose an
activity for Grade 1 that helps learners build confidence and initiative in the classroom.
(10) Discuss the benefits of multilingual education for learners in the Foundation Phase.
(10) Design a Grade 2 Language activity that incorporates more than one language to
enhance inclusivity. (10 Socio-cultural factors play a crucial role in shaping children’s
learning experiences. a) Explain how cultural practices and community values influence
learning in the Foundation Phase. Provide examples from a South African classroom
context. (10) b) Design an activity for Grade 2 that integrates cultural knowledge into a
Language or Life Skills lesson. (10) The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the

cognitive development provide insight into how children construct knowledge. a)
Explain Piaget’s concrete operational stage and its relevance to learners in Grades 1–3.
(10) b) Design a Mathematics activity aligned to CAPS that demonstrates how learners in
this stage can develop problem-solving skills. (10) Select one developmental theory
discussed in your study guide and demonstrate how it can be applied in a formal
classroom setting to support and enhance learner development. Use examples from
either Mathematics or Language/Home or First Additional Language to illustrate how
the theory can be integrated when teaching a specific concept. In your response, include
the following: A CAPS-aligned concept (Grade R to 3) that will be the focus of your
explanation. The chosen theory and its theorist, along with a clear explanation of the
theory can be applied (include references to your sources). The United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (1987) serves as a key framework for
promoting children's rights and agency. Design an activity that demonstrates how child
