Dear Student

1 INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the module Introduction to Personal and Social Wellbeing, IPS1501.

This module will focus mainly on the study area, Personal and Social Wellbeing, as described
in the South African Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) document. You
will be introduced to teaching methods and assessments that are appropriate for the school
subject, life skills, and you will apply these within diverse teaching and learning contexts. The
life skills subject content knowledge, theory and methodology that you will gain will enable
you to be competent and professionally responsible when teaching the subject. Lastly, in this
module you will be introduced to good ethical practices for life skills teachers.

Modules offered by Unisa are either blended (meaning that we use a combination of printed
and online material to engage with you) or online (all information is available via the internet).
In all instances of online engagement, we use myUnisa as our virtual campus.

Unisa, as a comprehensive open distance e-learning institution (CODeL), is moving towards

becoming a fully online institution. You will therefore see that most of your study material,
assessments and engagements with your lecturer and fellow students will take place online.
This tutorial letter is intended to offer you some guidance in this regard.

 STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT MODULES

Kindly note that this module uses continuous assessment. This means your final mark will be
composed of multiple formative assessments during the tuition period. You will not be required
to complete a summative assessment such as take-home examination, multi choice questions
or a portfolio at the end of the tuition period for an examination mark. The series of formative
assessments will have different or equal weights adding up to 100% of your final mark. The
lecturer could use different types of assessments during the tuition period.

Continuous assessment proved to enhance the learning process by improving student success
and graduateness. Hence it will be in your own interest to submit all the assessments before or
on the due date. If you missed a submission opportunity, you would have a once-off opportunity
at the end of the tuition period to make up for the missed submission opportunity, or to improve
your final mark. This opportunity is referred to as the contingency or elective assessment and
you will need to apply in writing to your lecturer for admission to this assessment before or on
31 October for undergraduate modules and before or on 31 January for postgraduate
modules. To qualify for this one-off contingency opportunity the following criteria apply
▪ The once off contingency assessment must still be available.
▪ The year marks to qualify for a mark upgrade using the contingency assessment must
fall within the following the range for undergrade modules between 40% - 49%, and
for postgraduate modules between 40%- 59%.
Please note that continuous assessment modules will not qualify for
aegrotat/supplementary examinations and/or for FI concessions. No resubmissions of
assessments after the due date will be allowed. If you missed a submission opportunity, you
would need to apply for a once-off contingency assessment.

2 PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES

2.1 Purpose

learning contexts. Graduates are equipped with the required subject content knowledge
base, theory and methodology that will help them to demonstrate competence and
responsibility as academically and professionally qualified beginner teachers. Students’

 3 CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION
Unisa has implemented a transformation charter, in terms of which the university has placed
curriculum transformation high on the teaching and learning agenda. Curriculum transformation
includes student-centred scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices,
the scholarship of teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies.
All of these will be phased in at both programme and module levels, and as a result of this you will
notice a marked change in the teaching and learning strategy implemented by Unisa, together with
the way in which the content is conceptualised in your modules. We encourage you to embrace these
changes during your studies at Unisa in a responsive way within the framework of transformation.

6.1 The Unisa First-Year Experience Programme

Many students find the transition from school education to tertiary education stressful. This is also true
in the case of students enrolling at Unisa for the first time. Unisa is a dedicated open distance and e-
learning institution, and it is very different from face-to-face/contact institutions. It is a mega university,
and all our programmes are offered through either blended learning or fully online learning. It is for
this reason that we thought it necessary to offer first-time students additional/extended support to help
them seamlessly navigate the Unisa teaching and learning journey with little difficulty and few barriers.
We therefore offer a specialised student support programme to students enrolling at Unisa for the first
time – this is Unisa’s First-Year Experience (FYE) Programme, designed to provide you with prompt
and helpful information about services that the institution offers and how you can access information.
The following FYE services are currently offered:

9
• FYE website: All the guides and resources you need in order to navigate through your
first year at Unisa can be accessed using the following link: www.unisa.ac.za/FYE

• FYE e-mails: You will receive regular e-mails to help you stay focused and motivated.

• FYE broadcasts: You will receive e-mails with links to broadcasts on various topics related
to your first-year studies (e.g. videos on how to submit assessments online).

• FYE mailbox: For assistance with queries related to your first year of study, send an e-
mail to [email protected] .

8 PRACTICAL WORK

There is no practical work required for assessment in this module.

9 ASSESSMENT

9.1 Assessment criteria

Assessments are seen as part of the learning material for this module. As you do the
assessment, study the reading texts, consult other resources, discuss the work with fellow
students or tutors or do research, you are actively engaged in learning. Looking at the
assessment criteria given for each assessment, will help you understand what is required of
you more clearly.

Refer to the Outcomes (section 2.2 of this tutorial letter) for the assessment criteria for this
module.

9.2 Assessment plan

The assessment will only consist of formative assessments (continuous assessment). This
module follows an online continuous assessment approach. In continuous assessment, the
principles of a participation mark and a final examination mark are not used. This means that
there will be several compulsory formative assessments throughout the year to assess
students’ ongoing progress with respect to the attainment of outcomes pertaining to this
module. There will be no single final summative assessment (examination).

The rationale for continuous assessment is to ensure that students work consistently. The
continuous assessment model provides early indicators of student performance, with built-in
measures of feedback and support to guide students towards mastering particular areas

11
within the module. The aim is to foster critical awareness and reflection by students to enable
them to take responsibility for their learning and monitor their own progress. Continuous
assessment provides regular progress updates for students through lecturer feedback.

Assessment tasks are designed to scaffold student learning. Scaffolding means that each
task builds on preceding tasks/learning to enhance understanding and to integrate learning.
This will allow the lecturer and students to identify and close learning gaps. This means that
there will be no additional supplementary opportunity once marks have been finalised.

There will be four (4) compulsory formative assessments (Assessment 1, 2, 3 and 4), each
contributing 25% towards the promotion mark. In the event that you have failed to submit
either Assessments 2, 3 or 4, you will be allowed to submit Assessment 5 as a contingency
assessment. You will need to apply in writing, to your lecturer, for admission to Assessment
5. Please note that Assessment 1 cannot be replaced by Assessment 5.

• All information about when and where to submit your assessments will be made available
to you via the myModules site for your module.

• The following assessments contribute to the final mark as follows:

Number of formative Percentage towards

Type of assessment

12
 IPS1501/101/0/2023

Assessment 5 Written assessment (short,

(Contingency – must essay and discussion-type 25%
be applied for) questions)

9.3 Assessment due dates

• There are no assignment due dates included in this tutorial letter.

• Assignment due dates will be made available to you on the myUnisa Moodle Learning
Management System (LMS) landing page for this module. We envisage that the due
dates will be available to you upon registration.

• Note that all assessments will be online only. No marksheets will be accepted. All
assessments will be released in a staggered manner. The submission dates are spread
to allow for timeous feedback after each assessment. All feedback will also be released
online. Use the feedback to strengthen your next submissions.

• Please start working on your assessments as soon as you register for the module.

• Log on to the myUnisa Moodle LMS site for this module to obtain more information on
the due dates for the submission of the assessments.

9.4 Submission of assessments

• The myUnisa Moodle LMS will offer students access to the myModules site, where
learning material will be available online and where assessments should be completed.
This is an online system that is used to administer, document, and deliver educational
material to students and support engagement between academics and students.

• The myUnisa platform can be accessed via https://my.unisa.ac.za. Click on the

myModules 2023 button to access the online sites for the modules that you are
registered for.

• The university undertakes to communicate clearly and as frequently as is necessary to

ensure that you obtain the greatest benefit from the use of the myUnisa Moodle LMS.
Please access the announcements on your myModules site regularly, as this is where
your lecturer will post important information to be shared with you.

13
• When you access your myModules site for the module/s you are registered for, you
will see a welcome message posted by your lecturer. Below the welcome message you
will see the assessment shells for the assessments that you need to complete. Some
assessments may be multiple choice, some tests, others written assessments, some
forum discussions, and so on. All assessments must be completed on the assessment
shells available on the respective module platforms.

• To complete quiz assessments, please log on to the module site where you need to
complete the assessment. Click on the relevant assessment shell (Assessment 1,
Assessment 2, etc.). There will be a date on which the assessment will open for you.
When the assessment is open, access the quiz online and complete it within the time
available to you. Quiz assessment questions are not included in this tutorial letter
(Tutorial Letter 101), and are only made available online. You must therefore access the
quiz online and complete it online where the quiz has been created.

• It is not advisable to use a cell phone to complete the quiz. Please use a desktop
computer, tablet or laptop when completing the quiz. Students who use a cell phone find
it difficult to navigate the Online Assessment tool on the small screen and often
struggle to navigate between questions and successfully complete the quizzes. In
addition, cell phones are more vulnerable to dropped internet connections than other
devices. If at all possible, please do not use a cell phone for this assessment type.

• For written assessments, please note the due date by which the assessment must be
submitted. Ensure that you follow the guidelines given by your lecturer to complete the
assessment. Click on the submission button on the relevant assessment shell on
myModules. You will then be able to upload your written assessment on the myModules
site of the modules that you are registered for. Before you finalise the upload, double
check that you have selected the correct file for upload. Remember, no marks can be
allocated for incorrectly submitted assessments.

9.5 The assessments

As indicated in section 9.2, you need to complete FOUR (4) assessments for this module.

There are no assignments included in this tutorial letter. Assignments and due dates will
be made available to you on myModules for this module. We envisage that the due dates will
be available to you upon registration.

14
 IPS1501/101/0/2023

9.6 Other assessment methods

This module uses continuous assessment. There are no other assessment methods for this
module.

9.7 The examination

No examination is used at the end of the tuition period. Multiple formative assessments
throughout the tuition period contributes to the final mark. It is important that you complete
and do well in each of the assessments that you need to complete for this module.

10 ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

10.1 Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of taking the words, ideas and thoughts of others and presenting them
as your own. It is a form of theft. Plagiarism includes the following forms of academic
dishonesty:

• Copying and pasting from any source without acknowledging the source.
• Not including references or deliberately inserting incorrect bibliographic information.
• Paraphrasing without acknowledging the original source of the information.

Please note that the student declaration, provided as Addendum A, has to be submitted with
all assessments.

12 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The following frequently asked questions may assist you. Visit the module site for IPS1501
for more FAQs

FAQ 1: Will I write an examination in this module?

There is no examination in this module. A system of continuous assessment is followed

whereby you have to submit four assessments. A final mark of 50% is required to pass the
module.

FAQ 2: Where will I find my assessments?

Assessment 01, the Quiz, will be available for completion on the module site. Assessments
02, 03, 04 and 05 will be available on the module site in Tutorial Letter 102. Completed
assessments should be uploaded , in pdf format, on the module site for marking.

FAQ 3: May I submit a hardcopy assessment?

18
 IPS1501/101/0/2023

FAQ 4: How should I reference the study guide and other sources for this module?

In your written assessments, you will be required to use the study guide as a source to answer
the questions, for example by explaining concepts in your own words. Do not copy from the
study guide or any sources, including the internet, without citing the source. When citing a
source, write the full bibliographic particulars at the end of your assessment. Use the Harvard
referencing method.

Your study guide is also a source. As the study guide consists of written course material and
it is not published, the bibliographic details are as follows:

In this guide the authors are unknown, therefore:

Department of Psychology of Education. 2020. Introduction to personal and social

wellbeing, IPS1501 Lesson 4: Underlying theoretical frameworks, University of South Africa:
Author.

(NB – “Author” at the end means that the publisher is the same as the author. In this example,
lesson 4 was used. You may change this to the lesson you cited.)

In the text, you will use an abbreviation for Department of Psychology of Education, namely:
The wellbeing of children depends mainly on their environment (DPsyEd 2020:25).
