| Purpose: This module complements the modules Management in Foundation Phase, Curriculum Studies, Sociology of Education and Assessment in Education in the BEd (Foundation Phase) programme. The purpose of this module is to expose qualifying graduates to a range of Foundation Phase teaching methods, approaches and strategies. In addition, qualifying graduates will be guided to understand how learners learn and how to adapt teaching to diverse needs. Through reflective practices, qualifying graduates will understand how to translate the theoretical foundations of teaching into practice in the Foundation Phase. In order to strengthen a contextual approach to teaching qualifying graduates will unpack developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive dimensions of reflective teaching. This will assist in formulating relevant approaches to assessment, classroom management and discipline |
