FOREWORD Following a comprehensive review of the implementation of the National Curriculum Statement, undertaken by a Ministerial Panel of Experts, the Minister of Basic Education, Ms Angie Motshekga, MP, has announced certain changes that will be introduced from 2010. The implications of the national process suggest that the WCED work schedules can be used. These are guidelines, and should be used as such. Best Wishes
Dr. S. Naicker, Chief Director: Curriculum Development
WORK SCHEDULES AND TEACHER GUIDES FOR ARTS AND CULTURE
GRADES 7 – 9
INTRODUCTION Arts and Culture are an integrated part of life embracing the spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional aspects of human endeavour within society. All arts are a representation of culture. Arts and Culture consists of four disciplines – Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. The main purpose of the learning area is to provide a general education in Arts and Culture for all learners. In the Senior Phase the organising principles encompass national, African and global concerns. The learner engages with human rights, heritage and nation-building. This Phase also lays the basis for careers in the arts and offers opportunities for the learner to focus on his or her area/s of preference. NOTE TO TEACHERS ON HOW TO USE THIS WORK SCHEDULE This Work Schedules will save you time and make your planning easier. More time can therefore be spent on planning creative, relevant and interesting assessment tasks. As a teacher using these work schedules, you should be in a position to teach this learning area with greater clarity and confidence and learners should be able to make an informed decision when selecting subjects like Dance Studies, Dramatic Arts, Design, Music, and Visual Arts in Grades 10 to 12. The purpose of the Work Schedule is:
• To ensure that teachers have a common understanding of the concepts, knowledge, skills and values to be taught
• To guide teachers on the minimum content and skills that needs to be covered – remembering to take into account the contexts of their learners; and
• To promote a common pace of teaching within the province. The content in the work schedules is carefully scaffold to avoid duplication and allow for an increased level of complexity across the phase. Also note that the work schedules are designed for 40 weeks and the content is carefully spread over a period of 10 weeks per term. The Work Schedule is accompanied by a Teacher Guide that explains the content and suggests teaching methods. The suggested activities in the Teacher Guide can be used as is or the content can be changed to suit your school or class. When planning for the year ahead the relevant page numbers from textbooks can be indicated in the right hand column of the work schedule. Ideas for formal assessment have been given. Exemplar assessment task which could be used with this work schedule will be distributed to schools in 2010/2011. This should further assist in the setting of a proper standard of assessment in WCED schools.
The Work Schedules were planned from the generic and composite Assessment Standards of each Learning Outcome. The Additional Assessment Standards were not included in the planning. If learners choose to specialise in a particular art form in the FET phase, he/she could explore the additional assessment standards of Learning Outcome 1 in Grades 8 and 9. These additional assessment standards are explored in the Senior Phase Learning Programme exemplars. It is recommended that schools offering the Arts subjects in the FET band implement the specific learning pathways in Arts and Culture in Grades 8 and 9. This is essential for the teaching of the basic skills required at the Grade 10 entry level. Special learning programmes have been designed to guide the implementation of specific learning pathways. These learning programmes are available on the Web at: http://curriculum.pgwc.gov.za/site/32/res/view/715 The WCED hopes that these work schedules and teacher guides will assist in reducing the load on teachers with regard to planning. APPRECIATION The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) wishes to thank the Senior Curriculum Planners, Curriculum Advisers and all the Teachers involved in the writing of the work schedules and teacher’ guides.
