QUESTION 1Download the CAPS Life Skills Intermediate Phase document grade 4-6 from myModules ICA1501.
The term curriculum relates to the coursework that is involved in a certain subject; it is everything that
needs to be taught to learners in a classroom of a specific subject. The curriculum is documented through
CAPS.
1.1) Explain CAPS in your own words?
According to my understanding and as per government of education the National Curriculum and
Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) is a single, comprehensive, and brief policy document introduced by
the Department of Basic Education for all the subjects listed in the National Curriculum Statement for
Grades
R - 12.
1.2) How does CAPS influence lesson planning?
(CAPS Elroi Academy 2024)
CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) significantly influences lesson planning by providing
a structured and standardized framework for teachers. This framework ensures consistency and
comprehensiveness in the delivery of education across South African schools. Here’s how CAPS impacts
lesson planning:
1. Structured Content Delivery
CAPS documents are divided into four sections, detailing the aims, teaching guidelines, content, and
assessment policies for each subject. This structure ensures that teachers have clear guidance on what
needs to be taught at each grade level. Teachers can plan lessons that align with the specified content
requirements, ensuring all necessary topics are covered within the academic year.
2. Clear Learning Outcomes
CAPS outlines specific learning outcomes and standards for each subject and grade. These outcomes
help teachers to design lesson plans that target the necessary skills and knowledge students must acquire.
This ensures that lesson objectives are well-defined and aligned with the national curriculum standards.
3. Assessment Integration
CAPS emphasizes continuous assessment, integrating both informal and formal assessments into the
teaching process. Lesson plans must incorporate various assessment methods to monitor student
progress and provide feedback. Teachers can plan lessons that include quizzes, projects, and exams,
aligning with the CAPS assessment policy to evaluate and support student learning effectively.
4. Progression and Complexity
CAPS promotes a progression from simple to complex concepts within each subject. This principle guides
teachers in structuring their lesson plans to build on prior knowledge and gradually introduce more
complex topics. Teachers can scaffold lessons to ensure that students develop a deep understanding of
the subject matter over time.
, 5. Inclusivity and Diversity
CAPS emphasizes principles of inclusivity, human rights, and social and environmental justice. Lesson
plans must reflect these values, incorporating diverse perspectives and addressing issues such as poverty,
race, gender, language, and disability. Teachers are encouraged to create inclusive lesson plans that cater
to the diverse needs of their students.
6. Critical and Creative Thinking
CAPS encourages a critical and active learning approach. Lesson plans should foster critical thinking,
problem-solving, and creativity. Teachers are guided to design activities and discussions that challenge
students to think critically and solve problems creatively, moving beyond rote memorization.
7. Contextualized Learning
CAPS advocates for teaching subjects in a contextualized manner, relating content to real-world situations
and the students' own experiences. Lesson plans should connect theoretical knowledge to practical
applications, making learning more relevant and engaging for students.
8. Resource Allocation
CAPS documents often include recommendations for teaching materials and resources. Teachers can use
these guidelines to select appropriate textbooks, visual aids, and technological tools that enhance the
learning experience. Effective lesson planning involves integrating these resources to support the
curriculum's aims.
9. Time Management
CAPS provides a detailed outline of the content to be covered within specific time frames. This helps
teachers to plan their lessons efficiently, ensuring that they allocate adequate time for each topic and
adhere to the academic calendar. Proper time management ensures that the curriculum is covered
comprehensively without rushing through important concepts.
10. Professional Development
CAPS supports teachers' professional development by offering a clear framework and expectations.
Lesson planning under CAPS encourages teachers to continually refine their teaching strategies, stay
updated with curriculum changes, and participate in ongoing professional learning opportunities.
