  4. ABET Level 4 June 2002LLC: English • Pleasing to see previous reports have been read and suggestions implemented. • Language level of candidates generally low. • Lack of comprehension is evident. • Educators should study the national guidelines. • Require national intervention – English for learners whose home language is not Eng.

  5. ABET Level 4 June 2002LLC: Afrikaans • Needs to be better placement of learners. • Educators appear to be more confident in the teaching of the various unit standards. • Learners need to read the questions properly. • Grammar and sentence construction were two areas that needed attention.

  6. ABET Level 4 June 2002LLC: isXhosa • Candidates showed a lack of practice in writing. • Sections on summarising and analysis of a poem were poorly done or not attempted. • It appears that candidates coped better with questions that did not expect them to think independantly. • Many questions were too short for the marks allocated.

  7. ABET Level 4 June 2002Mathematical Literacy • Section A of the paper contributed to ML. • Report focuses on areas that require attention. • Problems included geometric and number patterns, decimals, time and volume.

  8. ABET Level 4 June 2002Mathematical Sciences • Report draws attention to areas that need assistance. • Problems with time, percentages, decimals. • Candidates could not interpret information from a table that was provided. • Most candidates struggled with algebra. • Most candidates struggled with drawing of a bar graph.

  9. ABET Level 4 June 2002Arts and Culture • General improvement in candidates ability to answer the questions. • Candidates appeared to be more confident. • Literacy still a problem. • Candidates did not recognise technical terms. • Teaching should ensure that candidates read illustrations through their own interpretation rather than merely describing what they see.

  12. ABET Level 4 June 2002Life Orientation • Successful as learners did very well. • Answering MCQs problem – need technical guidance. • Terminology appeared to another problem area. • All teachers must teach emergency procedures and reporting emergency situations.

ABET Level 4 June 2002Natural Sciences • Pleased by overall improvement by candidates. • Specific content problems are mentioned in the report e.g. cells, natural resources, sources of energy – all mentioned in the range statements. • Examination technique a problem • reading questions carefully. • drawing a table. • Answers that were too short when asked to explain.

  14. ABET Level 4 June 2002Technology • General lack of understanding of the content needed in this learning area. • Answers show a lack of study or application. • Learner’s need prior assistance in planning an answer sheet e.g numbering correctly.

  15. ABET Level 4 June 2002SMME • Not sure whether the candidates did poorly because of reading and interpretation problems or because they were not ready for the examination. • Some candidates are not ready in terms of examination technique wrt reading, writing, interpreting and analysing texts. • Suggests that the language used be made simpler. • Recommends training of teachers and assessment of their knowledge of the learning area.
