QUESTION 1
1.1 Analyse this cartoon and answer the questions that follow:
1.1.1 What kind of pedagogy is practiced by the teacher in the cartoon? Please
write it in English and any other language of your choice.
The pedagogy shown in the cartoon is empathetic, learner‑centred pedagogy. This
approach emphasizes care, emotional support, and sensitivity to learners’ feelings. The
teacher comforts the learner, showing that teaching is not only about academic
knowledge but also about nurturing emotional well‑being. Such pedagogy helps
learners feel safe, valued, and motivated, which enhances their ability to learn.
In English: Empathetic pedagogy
In Zulu: Ufundiso olunomusa
According to Leland et al. (2013), teachers must be sensitive to learners’ cultural and
emotional contexts, while TUT501 (2020:13) highlights that supportive pedagogy fosters
both academic and personal growth.
