Examination guidelines for 2023 Grade 12 CAPS pdf

Examination guidelines for 2023 Grade 12 CAPS pdf PDF of the Grade 12 CAPS Exam Regulations for the Year 2021: The difficulties in implementing the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) in many disciplines across the grades (exams) have been a source of concern for educators, subject specialists, parents, and others with a stake in the education system.

• curriculum/assessment overload and poor curriculum coverage;
• poor quality of formal assessment tasks;
• lack of guidance on the use of cognitive levels;
• omissions on the forms of assessment; and weighting of assessment with regards to time and marks;
• the need to create more time for teaching and formative assessment;
• the number of tasks based on the need to make valid and reliable judgments about learning outcomes;
• shift from disconnected ‘tagged on’ assessments to credible assessment tasks;
• the nature of the subject and Grade used to determine the required number of assessment tasks; and to reduce dominance by any single type or mode, e.g.: Tests, Projects, Assignments, Case Studies, Simulations etc.

After careful consideration, the Department of Basic Education has decided to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the CAPS papers in order to improve the curriculum. However, the procedure to improve the curriculum is time-consuming and follows tight policy procedures. Transitional arrangements have been established to allow the arduous process of improving the CAPS to take place while still addressing the most pressing requirements and providing interim respite to instructors and promoting good curriculum implementation. The DBE condensed Section 4 of the CAPS, primarily addressing the reduction of formal assessment tasks in the vast majority of disciplines.
