Question 1: True or false

STATEMENT
1.1 Reteaching and repeating mean the same thing.

1.2 Underachievers may have average abilities and are reluctant. TRUE/FALSE
False

True

1.3 Career education and vocational guidance are the same.

False

1.4 Assessment should focus on the whole learner. True

1.5 Self-knowledge leads to the formation

True

Assessment should not only focus on the learner’s intellectual ability, since we should think pf the whole learner. Assessment should thus cover the intellectual, physical, social and emotional facets of the learner.
Self-knowledge leads to self-identity

Differentiated education is based on the fact that learners aren’t the same in terms of abilities, interests and aptitude. Therefore a learner will not benefit from identical education. Each learner’s individuality should be kept in mind and respected. The goal of differentiated education is to know each learner to understand what their needs and wants are in terms of their social standing and particular group they identify with.
A fitting scenario would be
