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.  When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should be credited for any other relevant answers.  Learners are expected to take a stance when answering ‘to what extent’ questions in order for any marks to be awarded. 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. Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 3 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2018 NSC – Marking Guidelines  At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks () that the candidate were 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 in the bottom right-hand 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. 2.3 Global assessment of the essay The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the teacher to assess the essay as a whole, rather than assessing the main points of the essay separately. This approach encourages the learner to write an original argument by using relevant evidence to support the line of argument. The learner will NOT be required to simply regurgitate content (facts) in order to achieve a level 7 (high mark). This approach discourages learners from preparing essays and reproducing them without taking the specific requirements of the question into account. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners' opinions that are supported by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:  The learner's interpretation of the question  The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection)  The construction of argument (planned, structured and has independent line of argument) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 4 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2018 NSC – Marking Guidelines 2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay 2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay. 2.4.2 During the first reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant introduction (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline), the main aspects/body of the essay that sustains/defends the line of argument (which is indicated by bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant conclusion (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline). For example in an essay where there are five (5) main points there could be about seven (7) ticks. 2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind when assessing an essay. P Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of argument/making a major point. Each paragraph should include a point that sustains the major point (line of argument) that was made in the introduction. E Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what the main point is all about and how it relates to the question posed (line of argument) E Example: The candidates should answer the question by selecting content that is relevant to the line of argument. Relevant examples should be given to sustain the line of argument. L Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is sustained throughout the essay and is written coherently. 2.4.4 The following symbols MUST be used when assessing an essay: • Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised ^ • Wrong statement _________________ • Irrelevant statement | | | • Repetition R • Analysis A√ • Interpretation 1√ • Line of argument LOA Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 5 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2018 NSC – Marking Guidelines 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 the essay 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 the essay 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.

MAIN ASPECTS Candidates could include the following aspects in their response:  Introduction: Candidates should explain to what extent Mobutu Sese Seko and Julius Nyerere's policies influenced the economic, social and cultural development within their respective countries after decolonisation. They should support their line of argument with relevant evidence. ELABORATION ECONOMIC  The Congo and Tanzania inherited a single-product system from their respective colonisers; The Congo embraced a capitalist economic system; whereas Tanzania adopted a socialist economic model. Both struggled to successfully develop their economies  At independence, the Congo and Tanzania lacked a vibrant manufacturing industry  The Congo aimed to industrialise her economy and develop a manufacturing base (largely a failure); whereas Tanzania built on its agricultural base, villagisation policy and Ujaama (faced opposition from independent African farmers)  The Congo relied heavily on foreign aid and expertise from the early 1960s; whereas Tanzania attempted to be self-sufficient and rejected neo-colonialism  Both countries remained reliant on the export of agricultural products and minerals  Mobutu and Nyerere nationalised land and industry to distribute wealth equally  Neither the Congo nor Tanzania had oil reserves, so both suffered economic crisis when oil prices rose in the 1970s  Both Mobutu (1970s) and Nyerere (1980s) decided to privatise sectors of the economy due to an economic crisis  Both countries took loans from foreign countries and organisations: From the 1960s the Congo received financial aid from the capitalist west; while from the 1980s Tanzania was forced to take World Bank loans and was subjected to structural adjustment policies  The Congo's economy was characterised by elitism and nepotism; whereas Tanzania reduced corruption of government officials through a 'Leadership Code'  The economy of the Congo produced vast differences in wealth between rich and poor; while Tanzania attempted to minimise economic inequality Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 22 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 22 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2018 NSC – Marking Guidelines SOCIAL AND CULTURAL Education and language  Colonial education promoted Eurocentric values  Under colonialism few African children received more than a primary education. The Congo and Tanzania had a few qualified technicians and engineers  Children were taught European history and languages, and western knowledge was privileged over African knowledge Education in Tanzania  Nyerere promoted the use of Swahili (a common language spoken by most Tanzanians) over English  Between 1961 and 1981 illiteracy in Tanzania dropped from 80% to 20%. Primary school enrolments rose from 86,000 in 1961 to 3.6 million in 1985  Structural adjustment programmes in the 1980s resulted in drastic cuts made in social spending resulting in lack of textbooks, desks and teachers - but enrolments in secondary education more than doubled between 1981 and 1991  Nyerere (Tanzania) wrote a pamphlet 'Education for self-reliance' (1967) – he expanded primary education in rural areas and focused on basic literacy; those few who received a university education were required to spend time in the countryside sharing their expertise  KiSwahili language used for unity and national identity Education in Congo  In the Congo at independence there were 14 university graduates (in a population of 14 million) after independence the higher education system was expanded instead of providing a free and equal basic education for all.  Between 1960–1974 primary education in the Congo rose from 1,6 million to 4,6 million but this figure dropped in the 1970s and 1980s because state funding was withdrawn  French remained the language of instruction in the Congo Africanisation  In Tanzania: Villagisation: Nyerere, promoted 'traditional' community values through Ujamaa ('familyhood') villages; Tanzanians were encouraged to focus on agriculture, traditional values and to become self-reliant. Tanzanians should work the land communally rather than producing cash crops for export  Used KiSwahili to achieve unity and national identity  In Congo: Zairianisation: Mobuto promoted African beliefs and culture through his policy of authenticité. He argued that democracy was a foreign ideology not suited for Africa  Mobuto encouraged people to wear African clothing, play and listen to African music and eat African food  Mobuto renamed many towns and cities in the Congo with African names (e.g. Leopoldville became Kinshasa; the Congo became Zaire; Joseph-Desire Mobutu became Mobuto Sese Seko Kuku Ngbedu Waza Banga) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 23 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 23 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2018 NSC – Marking Guidelines CLOTHING  Mobutu and Nyerere adopted Kwame Nkrumah and Maoist style of dressing  'Abacost' in Congo  Both promoted beauty not to be according to European values but on the premise 'black is beautiful' ART  Promotion of African art in literature as well as in handcraft  Any other relevant response  Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion.
