1.      SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS

1.1     The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions:

      Cognitive                                                             Weighting of
                                     Historical skills
       Levels                                                                questions
                    Extract evidence from sources
                     
    LEVEL 1         Selection and organisation of relevant
                                                                              30%
                    information from sources                                   (15)
                 Define historical concepts/terms
                 Interpretation of evidence from sources
    LEVEL 2                                                                    40%
                 Explain information gathered from sources
                                                                               (20)
                 Analyse evidence from sources
                 Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
                 Engage with sources to determine its
    LEVEL 3         usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations              30%
                 Compare and contrast interpretations and                     (15)
                    perspectives presented in sources and draw
                    independent conclusions
1.2   The information below indicates how source-based questions are
      assessed:
        In the marking of source-based questions, credit needs to be given to any
         other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or examples.
        In the allocation of marks, emphasis should be placed on how the
         requirements of the question have been addressed.
        In the marking guideline, the requirements of the question (skills that need to
         be addressed) as well as the level of the question are indicated in italics.

1.3     Assessment procedures for source-based questions
         Use a tick () for each correct answer
         Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 x 2) which translates to two reasons
           and is given two marks each ( ); (1 x 2) which translates to one reason
           and is given two marks ()
         If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks ()

        Paragraph question
        Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content and structure
        of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding a mark. The following
        steps must be used when assessing a response to a paragraph question:
         Read the paragraph and place a bullet ( . ) at each point within the text where
             the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the question.
         Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate has been
            able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.
         At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (√) that the candidate has been
            awarded for the paragraph; as well as the level (1,2, or 3) as indicated in the
            holistic rubric and a brief comment e.g.
        ___________ ˖ __________________________ ˖ _________________________
        _________________ ˖ ____________________________ ˖ _________________

          √√√√
          Level 2

          Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph
         Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark on the
          right hand bottom margin e.g. 32
                                            50
         Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back cover of the
          answer script.

2.        ESSAY QUESTIONS

2.1       The essay questions require candidates to:
           Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner. They
             need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so that they are
             able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an effective argument to
             answer the question posed. It is essential that an essay has an introduction, a
             coherent and balanced body of evidence and a conclusion.

2.2       Marking of essay questions
           Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided by the
             textbooks in use at the particular centre.
           Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or conclusion than
             those included in a specific essay marking guideline for a specific essay.
           When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should be
             credited for any other relevant answers.

2.3       Global assessment of the essay
          The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the
          teacher to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the component
          parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to offer an individual
          opinion by using selected factual evidence to support an argument. The learner will
          not be required to simply regurgitate 'facts' in order to achieve a high mark. This
          approach discourages learners from preparing 'model' answers and reproducing
          them without taking into account the specific requirements of the question. Holistic
          marking of the essay credits learners' opinions supported by evidence. Holistic
          assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise language
          inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:
           The construction of argument
           The appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument
           The learner's interpretation of the question.

2.4       Assessment procedures of the essay
          2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.
          2.4.2 During the reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant
                introduction (indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline/memorandum),
                each of the main points/aspects that is properly contextualized (also
                indicated by bullets in the marking guideline/memorandum) and a relevant

                   in an answer where there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks.

2.5    The matrix

       2.5.1 Use of the matrix in the marking of essays

       In the marking of essays, the criteria as provided in the matrix should be used.
       When assessing the essay note both the content and presentation. At the point of
       intersection of the content and presentation based on the seven competency levels,
       a mark should be awarded.

             (a)      The first reading of essays will be to determine to what extent the main
                      aspects have been covered and to allocate the content level (on the
                      matrix).

                                                             C        LEVEL 4

             (b)      The second reading of essays will relate to the level (on the matrix) of
                      presentation.

                                                             C        LEVEL 4
                                                             P        LEVEL 3

             (c)      Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.

                                                             C       LEVEL 4

                                                                                       }26–27

       Question inadequately addressed and vague; little attempt to structure the essay = 7–13
