The case of Katlego You, as a member of the school-based support team
(SBST), peruse a class teacher’s observation notes on a learner. The learner,
, Katlego, has to repeat Grade 1. He is an only child and both his parents are
successful professionals. When Katlego’s teacher raised concerns about his
lack of progress, his parents appointed an au pair to assist with his care and
homework. However, the teacher is still concerned and discusses her
observations with you. She wrote the following: • He is well groomed. • His
drawings are exceptional. • Sudden disturbed muscular control or
awkwardness or clumsiness and a lack of co-ordination, which do not
correlate with his usual actions. He stumbles or bumps into things or drops
them. • He sometimes inexplicably feels strange in an environment which
should be familiar to him; for example, he cannot open a door which he is
usually able to open (he turns the handle the wrong way). • Associated
movements e.g. if he is busy drawing, his tongue makes strange
accompanying movements as well. Or if one hand is moving, the other hand
also makes the same movements. 20 • Achievements fluctuate – especially an
inconsistent memory. What he knows one day, he forgets the next and the day
after he suddenly remembers again. • Signs of confusion without any
reasonable cause. He suddenly appears disorientated; it looks as if the
familiar environment of the class is strange to him. • Sometimes he stops
writing. After a while, when he continues, his handwriting is very untidy. • He
often does not finish assignments. • He daydreams and fails to concentrate. •
He is a loner and often fights with other children. • Sometimes simply “difficult”
behaviour. • He cannot read sight words and still sounds the words. Question
1 Taking the case of Katlego as described above into account, hypothesise
(speculate or brainstorm) about possible risk factors (as briefly discussed in
3.2, LU 3) that may cause or contribute to Katlego’s lack of progress and
challenging behaviour in Grade 1. Structure your answer as follows for each
of at least four (4) hypotheses: - State the hypothesis. - Provide the reason(s)
for your argumentation. - Suggest a possible way forward. - Indicate whether
you accept or reject the hypothesis. (20 marks)
ChatGPT
Based on the observations of Katlego and the concerns raised by his teacher, let's hypothesize
about possible risk factors that may contribute to his lack of progress and challenging behavior in
Grade 1:
Hypothesis 1:
Hypothesis: Katlego may have an undiagnosed neurological condition affecting motor skills and
coordination. Reasoning: The symptoms of sudden disturbed muscular control, clumsiness, and
associated movements (such as tongue movements accompanying drawing) suggest potential
