******************
QUESTION ONE
Define the following concepts
1. Assessor: is a person authorised to gather, evaluate and interpret the performance of the
learners.
2. Assessment: is the process of gathering or discussing information from multiple and diverse
sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know understand and can
do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experience. The process culminates
when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning. Or A continuous,
planned process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about learners’
performance. Four steps of assessment: gathering evidence of achievement, evaluating this
evidence, recording findings, and using this information.
3. Analytic rubric: is an assessment tool that divides the assignment into parts and objectives,
and provides a detailed description of acceptable and unacceptable levels of performance for
each part.
4. Assessment planning: involves he teacher selecting which knowledge, skills and values will
be assessed; which assessment activities will be used, the assessment methods,
assessment instruments and how feedback will be given to learners.
5. Criterion-referenced assessment: is the practice of comparing a learner’s performance
with a well-defined standard (criterion). There are clear criteria described and defined to
indicate what level of achievement is attained.
6. Continuous assessment: Describe the constant process of assessment that spans the
entire learning process.
7. Moderation: Assessment is inherently exposed to human error. No assessment can ever be
perfect, that is why it must be moderated. The policy requirements regarding moderation are
clearly reflected in both the National Protocol for Assessment and in the CAPS, Chapter 4 for
every subject.
8. Norm-referenced assessment: When a teacher uses norm-referenced assessment, the
teacher compares the learner’s performance with that of other learners or the “norm” which
means comparing the learner’s performance with what is normally expected from people in
that group. The average performance of the class sets the standard.
9. Progression: *******************************
10. Reporting: Process of communicating learner performance to learners, parents, schools and
other stakeholders. Can take the form of report cards, parents’ meetings, parent teacher
conferences, phone calls, and letters.
11. The principles fairness in assessment: impartial and just treatment or behaviour without
favouritism or discrimination
12. The principle of reliability: This is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable
and consistent results. An assessment is considered reliable when the same results occur
regardless of when the assessment occurs or who does the scoring.
