QUESTION 1: (20)
1.1 What is the difference between effective and reflective teaching? (4)
Read the given scenario, take some time to contemplate on it, and respond to the
questions based on your understanding of effective and reflective teaching in the
Foundation Phase.
It is a typical morning in Mrs Khoza's Foundation Phase classroom. The classroom is bright and
colourful, filled with toys, books and learning materials. However, Mrs Khoza's classroom does not
have a well-defined daily schedule or clear learning objectives. She often goes with the flow and
does not have a structured plan for the day. The teacher uses a single teaching method for all
learners and presents learners with large, unbroken chunks of information without providing
opportunities for engagement, interaction or checking for understanding. This approach fails to cater
for the diverse learning styles and levels of the learners. When learners make mistakes, Mrs Khoza
tends to scold them instead of providing constructive guidance and feedback.
1.2 Using Marzano's framework for understanding characteristics of effective
teaching identify FOUR (4) areas where Mrs Khoza's classroom misaligns
with what an effective teacher should do. (4)
1.3 Discuss the following characteristics of Marzano's effective teaching to
support Mrs Khoza towards effective teaching.
I. Helping learners interact with new knowledge (2)
II. Providing feedback (2)
III. Set goals (2)
1.4 Write a short paragraph on how you can use Kolb's experiential learning
theory.
(6)
QUESTION 2: (25)
Read the following paragraph and answer questions that follow:
Active learning is seen as the opposite of passive learning, an approach where the learning is
generated by the teacher and absorbed by the learner. Active learning can take many forms, follow
different models, and serve many different instructional goals. Many of these approaches have areas
of overlap with each other and draw on similar pedagogies that focus on learner-centred teaching
and learning objectives.
