, UNDERSTANDING THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATEMENT
(P.134)
• To function effectively as a teacher you need to be able to interpret and
follow the guidelines given in the National Curriculum Statement Grades
R-12 (https://www.education.gove.za/Curriculum/National Curriculum
Statements Grades R-12
• You need to understand the principles upon which South Africa’s current
education system is based;
• Therefore it is necessary to consider the principles that drove the dramatic
changes to the national curriculum in 1997;
• Changed the education from content-based to outcomes-based;
• Outcomes-based: ??
• Content-based:
, THREE APPROACHES IN STRUCTURING THE CURRICULUM:
1. CONTENT-BASED APPROACH:
• Curriculum design starts with identifying the content that learners need to learn
about;
• For example in history, a content-based approach to a History curriculum at
school would start with broad decisions, such as whether you will focus on the
history of South Africa or world history;
• The more specific decisions would have been made about content, for example
what period of time should be covered, what events would be emphasized, etc.;
• These decisions would establish the foundations for the content-based
curriculum and guide teachers in decisions about what content should be
addressing in their day-day teaching.
