2 PURPOSE OF AND OUTCOMES FOR THE MODULE

2.1 Purpose

The purpose of this module is to train you to have a sound knowledge of the life world of the adolescent.

2.2 Outcomes

The outcome of the module is to help you gain an understanding of the development of the adolescent insuch a way, that you can apply your theoretical knowledge in practice.

The course content is divided into seven separate chapters. Each chapter deals with different aspects ofadolescent development. Always keep in mind that although we are looking at each one of the aspectsof development as a separate unit for the sake of clarity and for study purposes, it is really impossible toseparate them. For example, the physical development of an adolescent will also influence other aspectsof development.

This is a semester module which means that it is offered twice this year.

Semester 1 from January to June

Semester 2 from July to November

You will have registered for either Semester One or Semester Two. Please make sure you knowwhich semester you are registered for. If in doubt, contact the Department of StudentAdministration for clarification.

The assessment standards for this module are:

1. Understand and discuss adolescent development.

2. Answer questions on adolescent development.

3. Apply the knowledge on adolescent development in practice.

4. Ability to interpret adolescent development.

5. Understand the problems experienced by adolescents.

You have to show in your assignments and in the examination that you have mastered the aboveassessment standards.

10 EXAMINATION

10.1 Examination admission

Examination admission is solely dependent on submission of Assignment 01.

During this semester, you will be assessed on your assignments, which count for 20% of your finalmark, and on the examination, which counts for 80% of your final mark.

As explained above you need to qualify to write the examination, as there is no automatic admission.In order to qualify, you MUST submit Assignment 01, for which you will be awarded a mark. Assignment 01 is therefore compulsory, and it must be submitted before the closing date. We areaware that this closing date is early in the semester, but please note that this assignment does nottake a great deal of time to complete.

We emphasise the point again: if you do not submit Assignment 01 on time, you will notbe permitted to sit for the examination.

10.2 Semester mark

The marks obtained for assignment 01 and 02 count 20% of your final pass mark for this module.

10.3 Subminimum in the examination

The examination counts 80% of your final mark for this module. In the examination you should obtain aminimum of 40% to pass. In other words, if you have a year mark of 90%, but you obtain less than40% in the examination, you will not pass. If you do not obtain 40% in the examination, your year markwill not be taken into consideration. In other words if you get 38% in the examination, your final markwill be 38% even though you had a year mark of 100%.

10.4 Examination period

This module is a semester module. This means that you will write the examination in May/June if youare registered for the first semester and October/November if you are registered for the secondsemester. During the semester you will receive information regarding the examination in general,examination dates, times and venues.

10.5 Previous examination papers

Previous examination papers are available on my Unisa. I advise you, however, not to focus onold papers too much, because a new paper is set every year. You may, however, accept that the typeof questions that will be asked in the examination will be similar to those asked in the assignments.

10.6 Format of the examination paper

The duration of the examination paper is 2 hours and the mark allocation is 100 marks. Forthe examinations you have to study the prescribed book, study guide, tutorial letters and theassignments. You will receive a tutorial letter that will explain the format of the paper and set outclearly what material you have to study for examination purposes.

Frequently asked questions in this module (EDT1601) are:

Question: I need extension of time for my assignment.

Answer: It is not possible to give more than one week extension of time. If you arecompelled by necessity to hand in one of the essay-type assignments late, youhave to ask permission to do so before the due date. No extension of time canbe granted for multiple choice assignments.

(012) 429 4152 or email [email protected].

Question: I do not have Internet access.

Answer: You can access the Internet at all Unisa Regional Offices.

12 SOURCES CONSULTED

It is important for you to show by reference to the literature, that you have in fact used the sourceswhich you have listed. An easy and economic method for ac k now l edg i ng sources in the text ofyour assignments and for the compilation of the bibliography, which is also used in study guides andtutorial letters, is a variation of the Harvard method. You are advised to use the augmented Harvardmethod for references in the text and for the bibliography of your assignments.

References in the text

Each reference, irrespective of whether it is a direct or indirect quotation must be acknowledgedaccording to its source. Examples

One author : Give the author, date of publication and page number(s): (Laswell 1935:85)

Two authors: (Smith & Jones 1981:10-12)

When the name of the author constitutes part of the sentence: "Jones and Carter (1980:10)maintain that ..."

More than one author with the same surname: (Morrow & Morrow 1979:1)


12/21

12

Three or more authors: Give the name of the first author and substitute "et al" for the others:(Smith et al 1982:11)

Bibliography

In the bibliography all the authors must be mentioned in full.

Anonymous works: (Epochs 1980:8)

Newspaper reports: (Argus, 9 January 1972:5)

Works universally known by the titles: A dictionary such as "Concise Oxford Dictionary":(Concise

1988, s.v. "child")

Where the date of publication is unknown: (De Mause s.a.:12) Different works by the sameauthor(s) in the same year: (Smith 1981a:12)

(Smith 1981b:18)

Where works by different authors are used to support the same fact: (Piaget 1980:74;Smith & Jones 1981:10)

Contributions in composite works and authors quoted by other authors:

In the bibliography the author of a contribution in a composite work is listed under his own name (seeBIBLIOGRAPHY for examples). References in the text need only contain the name of the author ofthe contribution, the date and the page number(s):

“Krotor (1979:10) reports ...”

Unisa readers

Refer to the author of a contribution under his/her own name: “McCabe (1984:162) is of the opinion

that ...”

It is unethical (and unacceptable) to hand in assignments that are not your own work, and wheneverthe University becomes aware of such malpractices it will take stern measures against thestudent concerned. Although students may work together when preparing assignments, each studentmust write and submit his or her own individual assignment.

13 CONCLUSION

I wish you the best for this year, the road ahead is sometimes a lonely one, demanding sacrificeand requiring perseverance and patience. However, success at the end of the road will compensatefor all the hard work.

Enjoy your studies!
