Rules: This BEd degree is offered with different streams/School Subject Combinations. Each combination is structured for a specific teaching field and students need to follow one of these. Students may only offer one of these combinations, unless DHET (Department of Higher Education and Training) approves the offering of a second BEd degree in a different School Subject Combination. This School Subject Combination entails the study of Algebra and Calculus, combined with English studies, which will equip students with the knowledge to teach Mathematics and English in the FET phase. A student who has successfully completed this qualification will be able to teach from Grades 7 to 12 in the School Subject Combination selected. Teaching Practice is a compulsory component in this program and must be taken according to the specific criteria every year. Five weeks practical is required every year, and three weeks must be offered consecutively. This qualification comprises both semester and year modules. Year modules may only be registered during the January registration period of each academic year. Students must also register themselves with SACE (South African Council for Educators) from the first year of BEd registration. Please visit the SACE website for more information: https://www.sace.org.za/. With the migration from the non-aligned BEd to aligned BEd, transitional arrangements have been approved by the College of Education unique to this specific degree and stream, and is not transferable to any other qualification and/or stream. IMPORTANT: Students must register the relevant Teaching Methodology in each year of registration with the applicable Teaching Practice module of the academic level. UNISA reserves the right to cancel any teaching practice module that is not registered concurrently with the relevant teaching methodology. Some of the pre-requisites and/ or co-requisites outlined in this qualification may not apply, as they do not form part of the curriculum. |

| Purpose statement: The B Ed (Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching) is an initial comprehensive qualification for educators in schools teaching grades 7 - 10 as it makes provision for integration of academic school related subjects and educational subjects for teacher preparation in both the Senior Phase Further Education and Training Teaching in its structure. B Ed (Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching) teaching is aimed at preparation of learners for a multitude of careers and/or further study. In order to prepare prospective teachers for this comprehensive role, the B Ed (Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching) programme seeks to: "Develop and consolidate in an integrated way appropriate disciplinary, practical, pedagogical and situational knowledge. "Cultivate a practical understanding of teaching and learning in a diverse range of South African schools, in relation to educational theory, phase and/or subject specialisation, practice and policy. "Foster self-reflexivity and self-understanding among prospective teachers. "Develop the professional dispositions and self-identity of students as teachers. "Develop students as active citizens and enable them to develop the dispositions of citizenship in their learners. "Promote and develop the dispositions and competences to organize learning among a diverse range of learners in diverse contexts. |
