Why does the teacher always discuss what is right before identifying the mistake? Which question does the teacher pose to the class when analysing the favourite no?

What does the text identify as the resource constraint affecting the Grade 9 textbooks? What does the text mean by describing dejection as itself a pedagogical variable? According to the text, why does a class sharing one set of textbooks with no equipment structurally force a transmission model of teaching, and what is the best explanation for why this resource shortage has this specific effect? Match each category with its correct constructivist description: View of learner, View of assessment, Typical teaching methods, Role of the teacher, and View of knowledge. According to Ms Mokoena, what distinguishes critical praxis from inquiry-based learning? By the time the pilot begins, has the SMT resolved the tension between the external assessment regime and inquiry-based learning? Does the SMT participate in the action-research group as co-inquirers rather than as monitors? Which example from the text best supports the reconciliation between learner questions driving the curriculum and the demands of CAPS? After three months of deliberation, did the SMT commit to a school-wide launch of critical praxis across all grades?

c. ii and 4
