Namaqua Education District (Phase 2): Baseline Data 2
Part of the Project
Baseline Data: Set 2
A representative sample of Grade 1 learners was tested at the end of the first term in 2016 using the 'Test of Basic Concepts Knowledge' (Baseline Data: Set 1) and again at the end of the year using the 'Test of Word Knowledge' (Baseline Data: Set 2).
The current report will detail the results from the Test of Word Knowledge.
The test data of the baseline schools was relatively consistent on this test; that is, with the exception of the learners from Springbok Primary. The average score of learners from Springbok was 17,65 points higher than the other schools. Such a difference would equate to over 1 year of development.
63% of the learners scored between 0 – 32 words on the test. These scores indicate that there is a 1 to 2 year delay compared to learners from more advantaged schools.
