4.4 The role of sport and recreation is explored and explained in terms of promoting ahealthy lifestyle.4.5 Ways of promoting positive relationships are explored to develop strategies to deal withpersonal and emotional challenges.4.6 The rights and responsibilities of individuals are explained in relation to ethical behaviourin <strong>the</strong> workplace and how <strong>the</strong>y contribute to nation building in South Africa.4.7 Ways to engage oneself in <strong>the</strong> community are explored in terms of promoting selfesteem and self-concept and defi ning one`s role and responsibility.4.8 A budget is drawn up in line with agreed goals and priorities.4.9 A schedule/action plan is drawn up to reach own personal goals outlining tasks andresponsibilities.4.10 Safety, security and environmental risks are identifi ed and explained in terms ofpotential risks.Additional Learning Areas:The following set of generic Associated Assessment Criteria apply to all <strong>the</strong> AdditionalLearning Areas associated with <strong>the</strong> Qualifi cation:5.1:• The underlying knowledge and concepts are understood and communicated in a varietyof ways including discussions, in writing, in basic community research assignments and inoral presentations.• An argument is constructed using <strong>the</strong> Learning Area knowledge and presented orally or inwriting, which is defended using appropriate evidence.• Media and primary and secondary sources are used to ga<strong>the</strong>r Learning Area knowledge.5.2:• Explore and explain ideas/topics for a basic community/work context, using <strong>the</strong> skillsassociated with a relevant Learning Area.• Models are produced to depict concepts using related skills, where applicable.• Deductions and conclusions are drawn, cause and effect are deduced and opinions areformed about probable future outcomes, using a Learning Area skills and knowledge.• Products are produced/made using relevant knowledge and skills.5.3• The values related to a Learning Area are understood and are explained in various modesof delivery.• The values pertaining to a Learning Area are analysed in terms of own value systemsprinciples of behaviour.Integrated Assessment:Assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that nolearner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, so that an integrated approach toassessment is incorporated into <strong>the</strong> Qualifi cation.Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably interwoven. Whenever possible, <strong>the</strong>assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in <strong>the</strong> Unit Standards should beintegrated.Assessment of Communication and Ma<strong>the</strong>matical Literacy/Ma<strong>the</strong>matics andMa<strong>the</strong>matical Sciences should be integrated as far as possible with <strong>the</strong> Core and Elective66
