| Purpose: The module strengthens students' deep understanding of the body of knowledge with regard to theoretical frameworks/models, legislation and policies underpinning psychosocial wellbeing in the teaching and learning environment. Legislation with regard to child welfare and psychosocial wellbeing, education policy documents and theoretical frameworks provide a pathway to identify, analyse and address psychosocial issues within diverse teaching and learning environments. Infusion of African philosophies embraces the spirit of Ubuntu when addressing learners' psychosocial needs. Awareness of policies acquires students to apply ethical standards and professionalism when addressing psychosocial issues. Teachers' intellectual independence is fostered by creating work integrated learning opportunities to apply and transfer standard policies while reflecting critically on theoretical models/framework in diverse contexts. |
