Combined Science (Form 1 - 4) Syllabus9.0 ASSESSMENT

9.1 ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES

The scheme of assessment is grounded in the principle of inclusivity and equalisation of oppor-tunities hence does not condone direct or indirect discrimination of learners.

Modifications of arrangements to accommodatecandidates with special needs must be put in both continuous and summative assessments. These modificationsmustneithergive thesecandidatesan undue advantage over others nor compromise the standards being assessed.

9.2 Scheme of Assessment Forms1to4CombinedScienceassessmentwill

be based on 35% continuous assessment and65%summativeassessment.

The syllabus’ scheme of assessment is ground-edintheprincipleofequalisationofopportunitieshence does not condone direct or indirect discrim-ination of learners.

Arrangements, accommodations and modifica-

tions must be visible in both continuous and sum-mative assessments to enable candidates with special needs to access assessments and receive accurate performance measurement of their abili-ties. Access arrangements must neither give these candidates an undue advantage over others nor compromise the standards being assessed.

Candidateswhoareunabletoaccesstheassess-ments of any component or part of component due todisability(transitoryorpermanent)maybeeligi-ble to receive an award based on the assessment they would have taken.

NB For further details on arrangements, accom-modationsandmodificationsrefer to theassess-ment procedure booklet.

8.2 Continuous Assessment ContinuousassessmentforForms1–4willcon-

sistofpracticaltests,writtentestsandendoftermexaminations:

8.2.1 Practical tests These are practical tests that teachers give to

learners once a month. These may be individual or group activities. The tests should cover manip-ulationofapparatus,followingprocedures,results

collection,presentation,analysisandevaluation.8.2.2 Written Tests

These are tests set by the teacher to assess the concepts covered during a month. The tests should consist ofmultiple choice, structuredandfreeresponsequestions.

8.2.3 End of term examinations

These are comprehensive tests of the whole term/s or year’s work. These can be set at school/district/provincial level.

Summary of Continuous Assessment Tasks InTerms1 to11,candidatesareexpected to

have done at least the following recorded tasks per term:

• 2Practicaltests • 2Writtentests • 1Endoftermtest

20 marks each from any two sections of the sylla-bus.Allquestionsareonexperimentalskill(3.0)

10.1 GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN SYLLABUS/SCIENCE PAPERS

It is hoped that the glossary (which is relevant only

to science subjects) will prove helpful to candi-dates as a guide, i.e. it is neither exhaustive nor definitive. The glossary has been deliberately kept brief not only with respect to the number of terms included but also to the descriptions of their meanings. Candidates should appreciate that the meaning of a term must depend in part on its con-text.

10.1 Define (the term(s)…) is intended literally. Only a

formal statement or equivalent paraphrase being required.

10.2 What do you understand by/What is meant by (the term(s)…) normally implies that a definition should be given, together with some relevant comment on the significance or context of the term(s) con-cerned, especially where two or more terms are included in the question. The amount of supple-mentary comment intended should be interpreted in the light of the indicated mark value.

10.3 State implies a concise answer, with little or no supporting argument, e.g. a numerical answer that can be obtained ‘by inspection’.

10.4 List requires a number of points, generally each of one word, with no elaboration. Where a given number of points is specified, this should not be exceeded.

10.5 Explain may imply reasoning or some reference to theory, depending on the context.

10.6 Describe requires candidates to state in words (using diagrams where appropriate) the main points of the topics. It is often used with reference either to particular phenomena or to a particular experiment. In the former instance the term usually implies that the answer should include reference to (visual) observations associated with the phenomena

10.7 Calculate is used when a numerical answer is required. Working should be show

10.8 Deduce means that the candidate is expected to draw logical and valid conclusion from given infor-mation.

10.9 Determine implies that the quantity concerned cannot be measured directly but is obtained by calculation, substituting measured or known val-ues of other quantities into a standard formula.

10.10 Estimate implies an approximate calculation of the magnitude or quantity concern

10.11 Find means that the candidate is expected to cal-culate measure or determine.

10.12 Measure means to establish the quantity con-cerned using a suitable measuring instrument.

10.13 Outline means to give the essential points.

10.14 Predict implies that the candidate is expected to state what as likely to happen by analysing given information

10.15 Sketch, when applied to graph work, implies that the shape and/or position of the curve need only be qualitatively correct.
