• Assist teachers to adequately prepare learners for the NSC examinations.

This document deals with the final Grade 12 external examinations. It does not deal in any depth with the School-based Assessment (SBA), Performance Assessment Tasks (PATs) or final external practical examinations as these are clarified in a separate PAT document which is updated annually. These Examination Guidelines should be read in conjunction with:

• The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS): Engineering Graphics and Design
• The National Protocol of Assessment: An addendum to the policy document, the National Senior Certificate: A qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), regarding the National Protocol for Assessment (Grades R–12)
• The national policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the National Curriculum Statement, Grades R–12

In the assessment of source-based questions, the following must be taken into account with regard to the cognitive levels and the wording of typical questions:

• All Level 1 type questions require learners to extract information from sources and define historical concepts. These questions will carry a maximum of 2 marks. Question verbs that will be used to phrase these source-based questions include, among others, list, quote, identify, name. Typical questions may be phrased for example: What information in the source tells you about ...? Quote FOUR reasons why ... What do you understand by the term ...?
• All Level 2 questions require learners to interpret, analyse and engage with evidence from the sources. These questions will carry a maximum of between 4 to 6 marks. Question verbs that may be used to phrase these source-based questions include amongst others: explain, comment, describe and organise information logically from the sources. Typical questions may be phrased, for example: What message does the cartoonist convey about ...? Explain in your own words ... Why do you think ...?
• All Level 3 questions require learners to explain, for example, the different perspectives in sources (compare/contrast), draw conclusions about the reliability and usefulness of sources, etc. These questions will carry a maximum of between 4 to 8 marks and may be assessed using an analytical/holistic rubric. Question verbs that will be used to phrase these source-based questions include, among others: compare or contrast, evaluate, assess, explain to what extent you would agree/disagree, comment on the reliability of the evidence in a source, explain the usefulness, comment on the consequences, explain the limitations, justify, etc. Typical questions may be phrased for example: Explain to what extent ... Compare the evidence in both Sources 1A and 1B and explain how you would account for the differences ... Comment on whether ...
• Using the information from the relevant sources and your own knowledge, write a paragraph explaining the impact/significance of ...
• Explain why a historian would consider the information in both Sources 1A and 1B useful when studying the consequences of ...
• In what ways is the cartoonist's view (Source 2C) supported by the evidence presented in the other two sources ...
• Compare the evidence in Sources 3A and 3B and explain how the information in both sources differ regarding the ...
• Explain why a historian might question the reliability of the evidence in Source 3C ...
• Comment on the limitations of Source 3D for a historian studying …

4.ASSESSING ESSAY QUESTIONS In the writing of essays, learners must be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner. They need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so that they are able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an effective argument to answer the question posed. It is essential that an essay has an introduction, a coherent and balanced body of evidence and a conclusion. In responding to essay questions learners should be able to:

• Plan and structure an essay
• Demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the topic
• Select and use relevant information from their own knowledge to answer the question
• Develop and sustain a relevant line of argument
• Write logically and coherently

Typical questions may be phrased using the following descriptors, e.g. 'Critically discuss', 'Explain to what extent …', 'Comment on…', 'Evaluate …', 'Assess …'. Keep the PEEL structure in mind when assessing an essay.

GLOBAL ASSESSMENT OF ESSAYS: TOTAL MARKS: 50

* Guidelines for allocating a mark for Level 1

• Question not addressed at all/totally irrelevant content; no attempt to structure essay = 0
• Question includes basic and generally irrelevant information; no attempt to structure the essay = 1–6
• Question inadequately addressed and vague; no attempt to structure the essay = 7–13

5. CONCLUSION This Examination Guidelines document is meant to articulate the assessment aspirations contained in the CAPS document. It is therefore not a substitute for the CAPS document which educators should teach to. Qualitative curriculum coverage as enunciated in the CAPS cannot be overemphasised.
