SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS 1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions: COGNITIVE HISTORICAL SKILLS WEIGHTING OF LEVELS QUESTIONS  Extract evidence from sources.  Selection and organisation of 30% LEVEL 1 relevant information from sources. (15)  Define historical concepts/terms.  Interpretation of evidence from the sources.  Explain information gathered from 40% LEVEL 2 the sources. (20)  Analyse evidence from the sources.  Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources.  Engage with sources to determine its usefulness, reliability, bias and 30% LEVEL 3 limitations. (15)  Compare and contrast interpretations and 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 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 × 2) which translates to two reasons and is given two marks each ( ); (1 × 2) which translates to one reason and is given two marks ()  If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks () Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/JUNE 2019) HISTORY P2 3 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 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. Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 4 HISTORY P2 (EC/JUNE 2019) 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 contextualised (also indicated by bullets in the marking guideline/memorandum) and a relevant conclusion (indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline) e.g. in an answer where there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks. 2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind when assessing an essay. Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of P argument/making a major point. Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what E the main point is all about and how it relates to the question posed (line of argument). Example: The candidates should answer the question by selecting content that is relevant to the line of argument. E Relevant examples should be given to sustain the line of argument. Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is L sustained throughout the essay and is written coherently.

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).

MAIN ASPECTS Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:  Introduction: Candidates need to indicate whether the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1989 served as a catalyst for the political transformation that occurred in South Africa in the 1990s. ELABORATION In agreeing with the assertion, candidates could include the following points in their answer.  The impact of the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1989 on South Africa  Gorbachev’s reform policies of Glasnost and Perestroika  The communist regimes in Eastern Europe collapsed  The Berlin Wall had fallen  Changes in the world contributed to the end of apartheid  The collapse of the USSR deprived the ANC of its main source of support (financial; military and moral and its consequences)  The National Party claim that it was protecting South Africa from a communist onslaught became unrealistic  Western world powers supported the move that South Africa resolve its problems peacefully and democratically  It became evident the National Party government could not maintain white supremacy indefinitely  Influential National Party members started to realise that apartheid was not the answer to the needs of white capitalist development  The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale and its consequences  The security forces and state of emergency had not stopped township revolts  By the late 1980s South Africa was in a state of economic depression  The role of business leaders in South Africa’s political transformation  PW Botha suffered a stroke and was succeeded by FW De Klerk  FW de Klerk started to accept that the black South African struggle against apartheid was not a conspiracy directed from Moscow  This enabled De Klerk to engage in discussions with the liberation organisations  On 2 February 1990, De Klerk announced ‘a new and just constitutional dispensation’  This signalled the end of apartheid  Any other relevant response Conclusion: Candidates need to tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion.
