, 1.5.1
Active and critical learning is a dynamic approach emphasising learners’ engagement. It
involves the learner actively participating in the learning process, rather than passively
absorbing information. Rather than simply memorising facts, active and critical learners
strive to understand and analyse concepts, ask questions , and connect new information
with their prior knowledge.
1.5.2
To ensure active and critical learning in a lesson, teachers can incorporate various strategies
and assessment activities that engage and challenge learners. One effective assessment
activity is a group debate.
In a group debate, students are divided into teams and assigned a topic or issue related to
the topic. They are then tasked to research and formulate arguments to support their
position. This activity encourages critical thinking and enhances communication and
teamwork skills.
Question 2
2.1.1
School-based assessment is an ongoing process where evidence of students’ learning is
collected throughout the year. It involves various assessment tasks like tests, quizzes,
projects, and presentations. This type of assessment is crucial for monitoring students’
progress, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and planning future learning. School-based
assessment is primarily formative. Its purpose is to provide feedback to both learners and
teachers, enabling them to make necessary adjustments to instruction and learning.
2.1.2
Practical assessment tasks are specialised assessments that aim to evaluate a learner's
practical skills and abilities in a specific subject. These tasks are created to determine how
well a learner can apply their theoretical knowledge in real-life or practical scenarios.
Practical assessment tasks are commonly used in subjects like science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Practical assessment tasks serve to evaluate a
diverse set of skills, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. These tasks
are instrumental in assessing a learner's capability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-life
scenarios.
