 MODERATION OF FORMAL TASKS

• Moderation refers to the process that

ensures that the assessment tasks are fair,
valid and reliable.
• Moderation tool/instrument should be
complete for each task
• Moderation should be carried out internally
at school and/or externally at district,
provincial and national levels.
15
 MODERATION OF FORMAL TASKS

• Given that the promotion of leaners is largely

dependent upon the SBA (which contribute
60% in Senior phase); the moderation
process should be intensified to ensure that:
➢ Learners are not disadvantaged by the
invalid and unreliable assessment tasks.
➢ Quality assessment is given and high
achievable standards are maintained.
