INTRODUCTION
This document aims to be an Examination and Assessment Guidelines in its orientation. It should
be seen against the background of the review of the General Education and Training Certificate
(GETC): Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) qualification and the re-registration of some of
its constituent Unit Standards. Against this background, it must be seen to replace any other
guideline document that has preceded it. What it does not do, however, is signal a radical shift from
formal national assessment processes that have been managed by the Department of Higher
Education and Training (DHET). It attempts to consolidate such assessment practices. It formalises
them into a useful reference document for mainly examiners and moderators of ABET assessment.
At the same time it is a useful guide to educators, in order to prepare their learners for assessment.
The LIFO4 Examination and Assessment Guidelines document is based on the GETC-ABET
interim qualification with the SAQA ID number 71751. The guidelines should be viewed as
developmental in nature aimed at enhancing the quality of the implementation of assessment for
the interim qualification. The other users of this document shall be the Public Adult Learning
Centres (PALCs) management teams, departmental officials, policy analysts, learning area
coordinators or advisers and any interested stakeholder in adult education.
Furthermore, the guidelines document is intended to assist the Learning Area Facilitator in
preparing the learner for the examination as well as the site-based assessment. It should be treated
as resource material that seeks to indicate the unit standards for the LIFO4 learning area and how
to unpack them for assessment. It also indicates the possible content knowledge (as mentioned in
the unit standards) to be assessed. It will provide clarity on how specific outcomes and assessment
criteria are weighted. The possible teaching and learning support materials relevant to the learning
area are also highlighted.
While our aim is not to be prescriptive on curriculum, it is our hope that this document will offer
educators more guidance in their own teaching and assessment practice. The document creates a
uniform framework for examinations and formative assessments, in order to avoid a variety of
different approaches to examinations. It must be pointed out that while the guidelines are based on
the Unit Standards, it should not be read without the accompanying unit standards, or replace the
unit standards as a guideline to teaching.
The document also contain the GETC - ABET qualification which among others reflects on the rules
of combination, core components and the academic learning areas. The structure of an
examination question paper, the taxonomies used in scaffolding of questions, an exemplar question
paper and marking memorandum together with exemplar site-based assessment tasks are
outlined.
This examination guidelines document provides guidance on how to use available resources to
achieve the specified unit standards of the learning area. The national Policy on the Conduct,
Administration and Management of the GETC - ABET Level 4 examinations and assessment has a
bearing on this document.
All users are encouraged to alert the Department of Higher Education and Training of any
unrealistic suggestions that might hinder quality implementation of the assessment for the interim
GETC – ABET Level 4 qualification. It must be noted that these guidelines are by no means
exhaustive in its suggestions of possible assessment activities. Suggestions to improve the
implementation of assessment in the LIFO4 learning area will be greatly appreciated.

The purpose of the Qualification is to equip learners with foundational learning by acquiring
knowledge, skills and values in specified Learning Areas. In addition, it also allows learners to
choose Elective Unit Standards which relate to occupational type learning relevant to their area of
interest or specialisation. In particular, the purpose of the qualification aims to:
 Give recognition to learners who achieve and meet the necessary requirements and
competencies as specified in the Exit Level Outcomes and Associated Assessment Criteria.
 Provide a solid foundation of general education learning which will help prepare learners
and enable them to access Further Education and Training learning and qualifications,
particularly occupational workplace-based or vocational qualifications.
 Promote lifelong learning to enable learners to continue with further learning.
 Prepare learners to function better in society and the workplace.
Rationale:
Adult Basic Education is identified as a critical priority in South Africa and plays a vital role in
equipping adult learners with the necessary knowledge, skills and values in order to be functional in
society and as a person by contributing to the workforce, community and economy. This GETC:
ABET qualification provides learners with foundational learning through the acquisition of
knowledge and skills needed for social and economic development and the promotion of justice
and equality. It also seeks to promote and instill learners with a culture of life-long learning needed
for future learning. It also enables learners to acquire the necessary competencies in order to
access further education and training, career development and employment opportunities.
The achievement of the GETC: ABET qualification allow learners the following learning pathways:
 To choose a vocational route through completion of the National Certificate (Vocational)
Qualifications at Levels 2, 3 and 4 which contain vocational specialisations.
 To access academic learning at NQF Level 2 and above.
GETC-ABET Level 4 ~ @ NQF Level 1
4|Pa g e
Examinations and Assessment Guidelines: LIFO4
 To access Occupational specific qualifications at NQF Level 2, which consist of knowledge,
skills and
workplace experience and learning.
The qualification aims to equip learners to:
 Develop and apply relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes in the chosen Learning Areas.
 Function better in and contribute to the world of work.
 Be sensitive and reflective of issues relating to diversity, inclusivity, cultural values, human
rights, gender, development and change.
 Develop an appreciation for lifelong learning.
 Function better as a citizen in South Africa and contribute to cultural, social, environmental
and economic development.
 Make informed judgments about critical ethical issues.
 Develop study skills to be able to access further learning.
It is assumed that learners have literacy and numeracy skills in order to cope with the complexity of
learning in this qualification.
Recognition of Prior Learning:
The structure of this Qualification makes Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) possible through the
assessment of individual Unit Standards. The learner and assessor should jointly decide on
methods to determine prior learning and competence in the knowledge, skills, and values implicit in
the Qualification and the associated Unit Standards. RPL will be done by means of an integrated
assessment which includes formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience. This
Recognition of Prior Learning may allow for accelerated access to further learning at this or higher
Levels on the NQF; gaining of credits for Unit Standards in this Qualification; and obtaining this
Qualification in whole or in part. All RPL is subject to quality assurance by the relevant ETQA or an
ETQA that has a Memorandum of Understanding with the relevant ETQA.
It is recommended that learners have achieved the following in order to access this qualification:
Communication at ABET Level 3 or equivalent and Mathematical Literacy at ABET Level 3 or
equivalent.
The GETC-ABET qualification comprises the Fundamental, Core and Elective components in its
rules of combination. Learners are expected to offer a minimum of 5 Learning Areas. The 2
fundamental Learning Areas and the 1 Core Learning Area are compulsory offerings. Learners
may choose 2 or more Learning Areas from the Elective component.

The recommended Learning and Teaching Support Materials for this learning area are listed in the
catalogue provided by the AET Directorate of the Department of Higher Education and Training.
A variety of LTSM is used in various contexts in ABET Centres across the country and these are
sourced or adapted from a variety of sources. Given this background, it is not yet possible to propose a
set body of material to be studied (e.g. prescribed poems or short stories). This allows educators to use
their own discretion and creativity in the selection of materials, but it must be reiterated that the choice
must be informed by the applicable Unit Standards.

Both the Summative Question Paper and the Site-based Assessment Tasks attempt to strike a balance
in the complexity of the questions and tasks that are fair to learners, but also conform to standard
assessment practices. In general, all assessments in the content learning areas are structured around
the following ratios:
The following ratios for assessment will be applicable:

CORE KNOWLEDGE AREAS
This section unpacks the Unit Standards and their Specific Outcomes, summarising the core knowledge
areas of each, and suggesting activities and applicable assessment tools, as well as the skills tested or
practiced in each activity. It then locates each US and SO in either the Summative or Formative
Assessment, specifying which question or task in the assessment will be covered.
The unpacking of the US & SO is done sequentially here, in order to provide educators with a broad
overview of the total scope of the US in the learning area (as circumscribed by the Range Statements of
each SO), in preparation for the assessments. Examiners will make any selection of these activities to
include in both the question paper as well as the SBA tasks. By working through them, the educator is

SITE-BASED ASSESSMENT (FORMATIVE)
The ABET level 4 site-based assessment tasks are part of a developmental process aimed at
increasing capacity in the ABET sector and enhancing the level of teaching and learning in the PALCs.
The tasks are also aimed at quality assurance and standardisation of site based assessment in all
PALCs across the country.
In delivering the ABET level 4 curriculum, it is suggested that the assessment tasks should be
integrated into planning for teaching and learning and implemented in conjunction with the assessment
guidelines for ABET. Teaching, learning and assessment are intertwined and planning for assessment
is an integral part of planning for teaching and learning. It is therefore strongly recommended that the
assessment tasks should be conducted as part of the teaching and learning process. This means that
the assessment tasks should be incorporated into an educator’s work schedule for the year. It is further
recommended that educators use different teaching strategies and informal assessment to ensure that
learners are adequately prepared for the formal assessment tasks.
The tasks were carefully designed to ensure that a variety of skills are assessed in each learning area
and that the unit standards and assessment criteria are adequately covered. The performance-based
tasks are to be completed or administered over a period of time whilst the pen-and–paper tasks should
be administered under controlled conditions.
It is recommended that the tasks be used as part of the formal site based assessment programme at
PALCs. All formal assessment must be recorded and ongoing feedback must be given to learners.
Evidence of the formally recorded assessment tasks should be included in the educator’s portfolio while
the learners’ evidence of learning must contain the recorded pieces of evidence for each assessment.
Continuous moderation at site level, cluster level, district level and provincial level is strongly
recommended.
The results of assessment should be used to support the learners’ development and make
improvements to the learning and teaching process. It is important that learners who might experience
barriers to learning and development are identified early, assessed, and provided with learning support.
In such cases the assessment tasks should be adapted to accommodate these learning needs. We
Examinations and Assessment Guidelines: LIFO4
expect you to critically engage with the assessment tasks as we are aware that they do not reflect a
“zero-defect” or a “one-answer-solution”.
8.1
STRUCTURE OF SBA TASKS
The SBA is made out of an educator’s guide and a learner’s tasks. The learner’s tasks for each learning
area contain five assessment tasks focusing on the unit standards that should be covered in formative
assessment. The educator’s guide contains the assessment instrument(s) (memorandum, rubric and/or
checklist) for each of the assessment tasks. The tasks include a variety of appropriate assessment
strategies and different forms of assessment of which one is a project as prescribed by Umalusi.
Additional is a learning area assessment plan which is aimed at assisting the educator with the
spreading of the formal assessment tasks throughout the year.
Each SBA task is worth 50 marks and the five SBA tasks total 250 marks. All formal and informal
assessment leading to formal moderation must be recorded accordingly. These marks should be
converted to 50% which is the weighting of the site-based assessment. Moderation of these SBA tasks
must be done according to the provincial management plan on the conduct, administration and
management of the GETC-ABET Level 4 examinations and assessment.

Environmental issues
People who are concerned about the environment are usually worried about what is happening
to the natural world around us.
Human society has a big impact on nature because we use natural resources such as forests
and water and our need for energy and minerals has led to the mining and drilling into the
earth for coal, oil and other mineral resources.
We pollute the earth by releasing smoke and harmful gases into the air, burying our rubbish in

PROMOTING THE PRINCIPLES OF QUALITY ASSESSMENT PRACTICES
The Department of Higher Education and Training views assessment as a process of making decisions
about a learner’s performance. It involves gathering and organising evidence of learning, in order to
review what learners have achieved. It informs decision making in education, and helps educators to
establish whether learners are performing according to their full potential and are making process
towards the required unit standards credits as outlined in the qualification cited above. Principles of
assessment that are always considered when assessment tasks and tools are developed include
among others the following:
Validity
Assess what is supposed to be assessed. Examination question papers and SBAs
take the US, and their related assessment criteria into account in setting appropriate
types of questions.
Reliability
Assessment should produce reliable results instructions are clear, consistent and
unambiguous
Assessment criteria are strictly adhered to
Marking guidelines/memoranda are clear and markers apply the same standard.
Transparency Accomplished through guidelines, uniform SBAs and national examinations are
moderated internally.
Papers and SBAs are moderated externally by Umalusi.
Stakeholders know what to expect and candidates have the right to appeal.
Fairness
Assessment does not disadvantage anybody (based on age, race, gender, ethnicity,
geographic location)
Assessment is accessible to all candidates
Covers different cognitive levels
Nature of the learning environment of learners is considered.
Currency
Assessment keeps up with current events and life-world of ABET learners. This is
reflected in the content and nature of the texts selected, and the topics offered for
interaction.

Authenticity
Assessment is original and encourages originality, creativity and avoids repetition. It
consciously tries to avoid predictability.
The different types, descriptions and uses of assessments are given below to serve as a reminder to
everybody with an interest in adult education that only quality assessment practices is suitable for this
sector of our education system.
Baseline Assessment:
Formative
Assessment:
Summative
Assessment:
Diagnostic
Assessment:
Systemic Assessment:
Usually used at the beginning of a learning experience to establish what
learners already know, can do or value. It assists educators with the planning
of learning programmes and learning activities.
It is developmental and used to inform both the teacher and the learner about
how the learner has progressed (or not). It enhances teaching and learning.
Teachers use it to adapt learning activities to the learner needs. It is also
known as assessment for learning
It gives an overall and final picture of the achievements of a learner at a given
time. The examination is an example of summative assessment for ABET
Level 4. This could be viewed as a “snapshot” whilst formative assessment is
viewed as a “video” of a learner’s progress.
It is a form of formative assessment that leads to intervention, remedial action
or revision programme. It identifies both the strengths and weaknesses of
either the learner or the teaching methodology
It is an external way of monitoring the education system by comparing
learners’ performance to national indicators of learner achievement. It involves
monitoring learner attainment at regular intervals using national or provincially
defined measuring instruments.
Note of the following Assessment Strategies should also be taken.

In conclusion, assessment must always be fair to learners and all possible barriers preventing learners
from expressing their knowledge, skills and values in an assessment task, must be considered when
developing, assessing and moderating the assessment task.
