PART THREE 14. INTRODUCTION: EMS PREPARES FOR LEARNING IN GRADE 10 Teachers who are developing Learning Programmes, Work Schedules and Lesson Plans should note that certain of the LOs and ASs link conceptually with subjects in the FET band. Take the subject Accounting for example. It is essential to give adequate attention to EMS LO 3 and those ASs that focus on Accounting (namely Gr 7: 7.3.5; Gr 8: 8.3.1, 8.3.3 and 8.3.5; and Gr 9: 9.3.1, 9.3.3 and 9.3.5). This should lay a sound foundation for managing the LOs for Accounting in Gr 10. Another example is the requirement in Grades 8 and 9 to introduce keyboard skills (AS 8.3.4 and 9.3.4). Clear links can also be noted with Business Studies and Economics in Grade 10, for example LOs 1 and 2 and those ASs. 15. TABLES FOR PLANNING IN THE GET BAND: ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES The following tables can be found on the Internet at http://curriculum.wcape.school.za/ncs/index They are also available on CD from Edumedia: Tel: (021) 689 9536, Fax: (021) 685 7421, e-mail: edumedia@pgwc.gov.za These tables use the exact wording of the ASs, making them extremely useful for planning. For each LO, the ASs, which are shown horizontally across the tables, reflect progression across the phase. For example: Grade 7 LO 3 AS 7.3.1 Explains the role of planning, organising, leading and controlling (e.g. financial and procedural controls) in a business Grade 7 LO 3 AS 7.3.2 Discusses different approaches to leadership and management Grade 8 LO 3 AS 8.3.2 Develops leadership and management strategies that will ensure a return on investments Grade 9 LO 3 AS 9.3.2 Investigates the public relations, social responsibility strategies and environmental responsibility strategies and actions of different businesses and organisations Thus, the progression in the above-mentioned ASs, horizontally across the tables (Grades), is as follows: The conceptual progression is clearly illustrated with the expansion of management functions, from basic management functions in Grade 7, to leadership and management strategies in Grade 8, and to public relations, social responsibility and environmental responsibilities in Grade 9. Progression is also achieved through the level of complexity of the response required from the learner by the AS, as indicated by the cognitive verbs, e.g. Explains (Grade 7), Develops (Grade 8) to Investigates (Grade 9).

Progression within a particular LO and within a particular grade, looking vertically from the top down, can also be observed, although this trend cannot be noticed for all the grades/Los, e.g. Grade 7 Learning Outcome 4: AS 7.4.1 AS 7.4.3 AS 7.4.5 AS 7.4.6 AS 7.4.9 Compares essential characteristics and skills needed to be entrepreneurial from two different simple case studies of practising entrepreneurs in own community Uses idea generation techniques to make recommendations on using community resources to generate income in a responsible way Participates in a joint venture between the school and the community/parents by taking ownership of producing a product or service Runs a business event using one of two of the ideas or opportunities identified in a questionnaire that had been designed Designs posters or other materials to advertise own business venture Here progression within a particular grade is obtained: The level of complexity increases within the grade, as the cognitive verbs increasingly require a higher cognitive level, i.e. Compares, Make recommendations, Participates, Runs a business, Designs.
