FINAL ONLINE SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME Postgraduate Certificate in Education in Further Education and Training Teaching MODULE Teaching Specialisation Accounting 110 YEAR 1 INTAKE July 2021 DATE 17 November 2022 TOTAL MARKS 100 SECTION A [100 Marks] Answer ALL the questions in this section QUESTION 1 (10 Marks) What, exactly, is ‘formative assessment’? The distinction between the summative and formative roles was first proposed by Scriven (1967) in the context of programme evaluation (Black and Wiliam 2003; Wiliam and Thompson 2008). For Scriven, summative evaluation provided information to judge the overall value of an educational programme (as compared with some alternative), whereas the results of formative evaluation were targeted at facilitating programme improvement. It was Bloom (1969) who, using the very same terminology, made a similar distinction, but with respect to students (Black and William 2003; William and Thompson 2008). For Bloom (1969, 48), the purpose of formative evaluation was ‘… to provide feedback and correctives at each stage in the teachinglearning process’. Bennett, R. E. (2011) Discuss the purpose of a formative assessment. QUESTION 2 (10 Marks) Describe a scenario on how you would use The Co-Operative Group Work Teaching Model to teach Accounting as a subject in your class. QUESTION 3 (30 Marks) Using Bloom’s Taxonomy in questioning. Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification system used to define and distinguish different levels of human cognition—i.e., thinking, learning, and understanding. Educators have typically used Bloom’s taxonomy to inform or guide the development of assessments. Required: Choose a topic from the Grade 11 Annual Teaching Plan. Under each of the 6 cognitive levels, provide ONE (1) question relating to the topic that will help learners to acquire knowledge. Provide a detailed description for why that question belongs in that cognitive level. QUESTION 4 30 Marks Grasping the concept of Financial Statements can be very challenging for learners who have chosen accounting.

QUESTION 5 In our increasingly diverse and multicultural society, it’s more important than ever for teachers to incorporate culturally responsive instruction in the classroom -- whether teaching elementary school, middle school or high school students.
