Question

 Which obstacles impede Economics teachers' successful adherence with the continuous assessment norm in South Africa? /09/

Answer 1

Such obstacles are:

• The large class size discourage effective compliance with continuous assessment practice.
• The task of implementing continuous assessment is weighing the teachers down due to work load.
• The problem of high pupil/teachers ratio. This makes it difficult for a teacher to assess up to 40 students effectively especially with non-cognitive instruments.
