4 FOREWORD The Botswana Examinations Council is pleased to authorise the publication of this revised assessment Syllabus for the senior secondary programme. It marks a watershed in the development of the public education system in Botswana and signals another milestone of progress in fulfilment of the goals set by the Revised National Policy on education, government Paper No. 2 of The purpose of this revised syllabus is to further guide schools, teachers and other educational institutions on what will be assessed in the subject area and how the assessment will be carried out for certification of students completing the course. The syllabus, therefore, should be used as a source of information on the examination. Critical to the success of the secondary education programme, is the recognition of individual talents, needs and learning styles of students. Hence, the role of teachers in the classrooms has to adapt to the changed environment. They must be able managers, facilitators, and proficient in planning and directing a variety of learning activities. They should be conscious of the need for the students to be accountable and responsible for their own learning to some extent. They must also take into account the widening different levels of achievement which they aspire to. This implies active participation by both students and teachers, the creation of rich and diverse learning environments and the use of relevant assessment procedures to monitor the development of each learner. In pursuit of the above principle, the examination emphasises the assessment of students across a broad ability range and different levels of achievement. It also calls for the demonstration of what each candidate knows, understands and can do. It is important then that we value the student s own experiences, build upon what they know and reward them for positive achievement. At the same time, we must be prepared to offer them guidance and counselling at all levels, assist them to make the best decisions in keeping with their own interests, career prospects and ability. In that way we shall prevail in nurturing at the roots of our system, the national ideals of democracy, development, self-reliance, unity and social harmony. This syllabus document is the outcome of a great deal of professional consultation and collaboration. On behalf of the Botswana Examinations Council, I wish to record my appreciation for the input received from Cambridge International Examinations and thank sincerely all those who contributed to and were involve in the production of this syllabus. Executive Secretary

Analysis To take apart or break down the whole into its component parts or to examine or consider in detail the component parts or features of the whole. Assess Examine closely, with a view to measuring or weighing up a particular situation. Consider in a balanced way: strengths and weaknesses, points for and against. In conclusion, state your judgment clearly. Calculate This is used when a numerical answer is required. In general, working should be shown when two or more steps are involved. Comment State clearly and in a moderate fashions your opinions on the material in question. Support your views with references to suitable evidence, examples or explanation as appropriate. Compare Look for qualities and characteristics which resemble each other. Emphasise similarities but be aware also of points of difference.

29 Criticise Express your balanced judgment about the merit or truth of the material in question. Give the results of your scrutiny, establishing both strengths and weaknesses. Be specific. Define Give concise, clear and authoritative meanings. Do not give too many details, but be sure to state the limitations of the definition. Show how the thing that you are defining differs from things in other categories. Describe Give the main characteristics or features of the matter in question, or relate in sequence form. Determine This often implies that the quantity concerned cannot be measured directly but is obtained by calculation or substituting measured or known values of other quantities into a standard formula. Discuss Examine and analyse carefully, giving reasons for and against and the advantages and disadvantages of the factors being considered. Be complete and give details by considering all sides of the issue to reach a balanced conclusion with reasons. Or give a critical account of the points involved in the topic.

Enumerate State in list or outline form, giving points concisely one by one. Evaluate Carefully appraise the matter in hand, citing both advantages and limitations.
