This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
This unit standard develops specific cognitive (thinking) skills in learners. Learners are taught strategies to differentiate (dividing whole concepts and objects into parts) and integrate (joining parts into a whole concept or object). Attitudinal and motivational changes in an individual's approach to reality are encouraged by developing these cognitive strategies. Adaptation to the world depends upon a balance between these two perceptual processes.

On completion of the unit standard, the learner will be able to:
  • Divide whole concepts and objects into parts in accordance with specific goals.
  • Combine parts into a whole concept or object according to specific needs.
  • Link components to restructure a given concept or object.
  • Conduct a structural versus an operational analysis of a concept or object. 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
  • Mathematical literacy at ABET Level 3.
  • Communication at ABET Level 3. 
    		•

    Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1 
    Divide whole concepts and objects into parts in accordance with specific goals. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    The whole is divided into component parts. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    Each component part is analysed as an independent whole unit itself. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 
    The purpose and reason for dividing the whole into parts is clarified in terms of aiding understanding. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 
    Concepts and objects are divided in a number of different ways according to time and need. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2 
    Combine parts into a whole concept or object according to specific needs. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    Combine parts into a whole concept or object according to specific needs. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 
    Different strategies are employed to suit the changing demands of the task. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3 
    Link components to restructure a given concept or object. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    An analysis is made of the different elements of the concept or object. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    The elements are recombined in a manner which enables the concept or object to be organised in a different way. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 
    Synthesis and analysis are combined to determine the specific elements which are able to be put together to create the whole. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 4 
    Conduct a structural versus an operational analysis of a concept or object. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    An inventory of all the parts is made. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    All the parts are categorised in terms of relevant criteria. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 
    The stages and steps in the process are clearly outlined. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

    This unit standard is part of a series that has been developed to address the development of cognitive literacy. Obviously no one unit standard can address the multiplicity of cognitive functions that are required for effective thinking. Taken as a whole however, the series is designed to address most of the cognitive functions required at the input, elaboration and output phases of the mental act.

    This unit standard also supports the development of the following Developmental Outcomes:
  • Reflecting on and exploring a variety of strategies to learn more effectively.

    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
