Question

Which statement is inappropriate regarding assessment in an Ubuntu context?

a) Knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes were acquired over a long period. The notion of an external assessment agency did not exist. Educational content was natural, relevant, concrete, and uncomplicated.

b) Assessment focuses on the relevance of knowledge and learning to solve or alleviate real-life problems and challenges, similar to knowledge generation for its own sake, as practised in Western educational contexts.

c) The knowledge that children were exposed to and assessed on was drawn from their immediate social and natural environments. They learned skills related to community life by means of practical activities and by emulating the examples of others. Values and attitudes were related to the customs, rituals and taboos that shaped people’s lives and conduct. None of the above

Answer 1

Long periods of time were spent acquiring understanding, skills, attitudes, and perspectives. There was no such thing as an independent evaluator. The information was instructive.
