| Purpose: This module focuses on preparing you as a student-teacher in becoming an economics teacher who will teach in the further education and training (FET) phase in South African schools. In the process, you will be enabled to analyse the CAPS policy for teaching economics, apply appropriate learning theories, teaching methods, assessment practices for designing effective learning experiences and integrating ICT to accommodate the diverse learners at this level while considering our country's varying multicultural contexts.
The purpose of this module is to ensure that qualifying student teachers:
- acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that will enable them to teach Economics in FET;
- integrate knowledge and skills acquired from other modules in the qualification such as Instructional studies, Curriculum Development and Implementation, Assessment, Classroom management, Inclusive Education and the disciplinary knowledge in the subject to develop and enhance their teaching ability, preparing them to fulfil their roles as a classroom teacher in the varying contexts of South African classrooms;
- acquire, integrate and practice their foundational, practical and reflexive competences to prepare them to facilitate the teaching and learning of Economics on a beginner teacher's level.
