  1. THE BASIC CONCEPTS PROGRAMME A Metacognitive Programme For Young Children Who Experience Barriers Towards Learning In The Foundation Phase GRADE R RESULTS METRO SOUTH EDUCATION DISTRICT Western Cape Department of Education (2009) A Programme Developed By: Louis Benjamin, P.h.D.

  2. METHOD • Learners who participated in the Basic Concepts Programme (April – December) in Grade R in 2009 were tested during the first term of Grade 1 2010. • A random sample of 50 learners from 5 classes/schools were tested – this represented 11% of the population. • The learners were tested by the project Field Worker.

  3. RESULTS N=50

  4. RESULTS 2009 2008

  5. RESULTS & CONCLUSION • The mean score of learners from all schools was within the range of preparedness for Grade 1 (mean score of 20). • The majority (88%) of learners were school prepared. Of these learners 48% were found to have a good to very good foundation for learning and 40% were found to be reasonably well-prepared for school learning. There were only 6 learners (12%) who were found not to be school prepared. • Comparison of the results (2008 and 2009) found that there had been a slight decrease in the percentage of weak to very weak learners (3%) and an increase in the percentage of average learners (14%) in 2009, while there had been a decline in the percentage of good to very good learners (19%) in 2009. The overall mean scores of the learners in 2008 and 2009, were however similar (20.16 and 20 respectively). • The results suggest that the majority of Grade R learners who participated in the BCP in 2009 were well-prepared for learning in Grade 1 in 2010.
