The WCED introduced a packaged modular curriculum for ABET levels 1 - 3 in 2006 (Curriculum Development Minute 0082/2005).
|
2. |
The modular structure indicated that all assessment will be site-based and thus no provincial examinations will be held for ABET levels 2 and 3 as has been done over the past four years.
|
3. |
Assessment for the ABET levels 1 - 3 will include the following:
|
3.1 |
Baseline assessment for learners entering a module to determine their learning needs and to identify the possible barriers to learning
|
3.2 |
Continuous assessment as part of the normal teaching and learning process
|
3.3 |
A capability task which indicates the learner’s overall competency in the module
|
4. |
The portfolio of the learner should include the following:
|
4.1 |
Learner’s personal information
|
4.2 |
Record of assessment for the learner
|
4.3 |
Declaration of authenticity by the learner
|
4.4 |
All capability tasks completed by the learner and marked by the educator
|
5. |
Support with regard to assessment for ABET levels 1 - 3 can be obtained from the EMDC curriculum advisers.
|

Please bring the contents of this minute to the attention of all educators and learners. |
