A historical review of the assessment of English Home Language at senior secondary school level in KwaZulu-NatalBlumfield, Brian Alfred 30 June 2008 (has links)
The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) heralds the beginning of a new curriculum for Grades 10 to
12 in South Africa. Underpinned by the South African Constitution, and based on the tenets of
Outcomes-based Education, the NCS seeks to provide contextually-relevant education for all South
African learners, so that they are able to embrace inevitable change. Although the NCS highlights the
importance of assessment, an analysis of the English Home Language (EHL) NCS reveals tensions
between policy and practice. This study attempts to contextualise the role of relevant assessment for the
21st century. It then proceeds to engage in a historical evaluation of assessment within the NSC in terms
of how assessment was conducted in the former Natal Education Department, a liberal education
department within former apartheid South Africa. The conclusions drawn from the evaluation are used
to provide recommendations to relieve the tensions identified within the EHL NSC. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.
