QUESTION ONE 24
Scenario 1: Conflict
Mrs. January is a Grade 3 teacher at XY Primary School. She has decided to let learners
integrate their theoretical and practical knowledge of bugs in their natural environment by
allowing them to explore the school terrain. Learners are divided into groups of two and should
attempt to catch the bugs with a bottle. They should then present their bug to the class and
relate it to the theory that they have learned.
Two learners, Angie and Jake, have been allocated to the same group. They are currently in
conflict because they both want to do the presentation, but they have different ideas about
how to approach it. The conflict arises from their strong personalities and differing perspectives
on bug presentations.
As the conflict escalates, Mrs. January notices the tension between Angie and Jake during
one of the outdoor exploration sessions. She addresses the issue to ensure a positive learning
experience for both learners. Mrs. January knows that conflicts are a normal part of classroom
dynamics and can provide valuable opportunities for growth and learning.
1.1. Reflect on your WIL practice, and discuss two instances where you or your mentor (8)
teacher had to motivate learners. Your discussion should include why you needed to
and how you motivated learners.
1.2. Using your own words, discuss TWO (2) reasons why teachers should be good
(4)
communicators.
1.3. Write a paragraph in which you discuss resolving the conflict. Use the following to (8)
guide you in writing your paragraph:
• Define the problem. (2 marks)
• Discuss two possible solutions. (4 marks)
• Select one solution and discuss how you will implement the solution. (2 marks)
1.4. Mrs January has attempted to discuss the situation with Angie and Jake, but there is (4)
a communication breakdown as both students shout over one another. Provide TWO
(2) strategies Mrs. January can apply in the situation that will help the learners listen
to one another better.
