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
Child (UNCRC) (1987) serves as a key framework for promoting children's

your planned activity or programme with children. Piaget’s stages of
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 agency
