Teaching practice for Foundation Phase I - TPF2601

Under Graduate Degree Year module NQF level: 6 Credits: 12
Module presented in English
Purpose: This module proceeds from the understanding that education is context-specific and context-dependent. The module seeks to support qualifying graduates in their initial teaching experiences - "the micro-contexts of everyday life in classrooms" (Cohen, Manion, Morrison and Wyse, 2010: 1). The focus of this module is guided observation, helping qualifying graduates to observe practice and make connections between what they have learned, what they have observed and what they have experienced. They may become involved in assisting the teacher under instruction. The placement will require 5 weeks in a school.
