1.1 In which scenario is assessment for inclusivity practised?
Support your answer. (5)
Assessment for inclusivity is practiced in Scenario B. In this
scenario, Mr. Japhta is taking proactive steps to identify learners
with learning challenges at the beginning of the school year. He
prepares assessment activities for grade one learners to identify
those with learning barriers. The results of these informal
assessments are then used to create individual support plans for
those students who have been identified as needing extra specific
support. This approach demonstrates a focus on inclusivity, as it
aims to support and provide appropriate accommodations for all
learners, including those with learning difficulties.
1.2 In which scenario is the assessment of learners’ scholastic
achievement used? Give reasons for your answer. (5)
The assessment of learners' scholastic achievement is used in both
scenarios A and B. In scenario A, Mrs Molefe gives her learners
assessment tasks at the end of each learning unit in order to
prepare them for the quarterly, formal examinations. These
assessment tasks help to gauge the learners' understanding and
progress in the subject.
In scenario B, Mr Japhta conducts assessment activities for grade
one learners to identify those with learning barriers. These
assessment activities help to determine the learners' scholastic
achievement and identify those in need of additional support.
Therefore, both scenarios involve the assessment of learners'
scholastic achievement through different methods and for different
purposes.
1.3 In which scenario is the usage of the SIAS policy going to be
vital? Give reasons for your answer. (5)
The usage of the SIAS policy is going to be vital in Scenario B.
, In Scenario B, Mr Japhta is tasked with screening and identifying
learners with learning challenges. This means that he needs to
assess the learners to identify their specific needs and determine
the appropriate support they require. The SIAS policy provides
guidelines and procedures for conducting assessments and
developing individual support plans for learners with learning
difficulties.
By using the SIAS policy, Mr Japhta will be able to ensure that the
assessment activities are carried out in a fair and consistent
manner. The policy will also provide him with guidance on how to
interpret the assessment results and draft individual support plans
that are tailored to each learner's specific needs. This will help to
ensure that the learners receive the necessary support to overcome
their learning barriers and succeed in their academic journey.
In contrast, in Scenario A, Mrs Molefe is conducting more formal
assessments at the end of each learning unit. While these
assessments are helpful to the learners, including those with
learning difficulties, they may not require the same level of
assessment and individual support planning as in Scenario B. Mrs
Molefe's assessments are more focused on preparing the learners
for formal examinations rather than identifying specific learning
challenges and providing targeted support.
1.4 In which scenario is the inclusion of parents of utmost
importance and why? (5)
The inclusion of parents is of utmost importance in Scenario B. In
this scenario, Mr Japhta is tasked with screening and identifying
learners with learning challenges at the beginning of each school
year. By involving parents in the assessment activities, Mr Japhta
can gain insights into the learning barriers that their children may
face at home and get a better understanding of their individual
needs. This information can then be used to draft individual
