1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Welcome to the module Learning and Teaching Strategies in the Adolescent Years. We are delighted to
have you as a student, and we trust that you will find your studies interesting and insightful. We will do
our best to make your study of this module successful. You will be well on your way to success if you
start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the assignments properly. You will receive a
number of tutorial letters during the semester. A tutorial letter is our way of communicating with you
about teaching, learning and assessment. This tutorial letter contains important information about the
scheme of work, resources and assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to
keep it at hand when working through the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the
examination and addressing questions to your lecturers. Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination
with this tutorial letter as it gives you an idea of generally important information when studying at a
distance and within a particular college.
In this tutorial letter, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as instructions on the
preparation and submission of the assignments. This tutorial letter also provides all the information you
need with regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and how to obtain them.
Please study this information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as
possible. We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module. Study
this section of the tutorial letter carefully. Right from the start we would like to point out that you must
read all the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always
contain important and, sometimes, urgent information.
We trust that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
2 PURPOSE OF AND OUTCOMES FOR THE MODULE
2.1 Purpose
The purpose for this module is to empower you as a future teacher, with knowledge, skills and a
changed attitude so that you can assist learners to actualise their full potential.
2.2 Outcomes
The outcomes of this module are to:
• assist you to acquire knowledge so that you can understand child development and the learning
child more effectively.
• enable you to apply the theoretical knowledge to the classroom situation, so that you assist
learners to actualise their full potential.
• empower you with new skills/enrich already acquired skills, based on the newly acquired
knowledge.
• add to your passion about making a difference to the lives of learners (changed attitude)
• assist you to be ready to support learners to be “somebody”.
Always keep in mind that although we are looking at each one of the aspects of development as a
separate unit for the sake of clarity and for study purposes, it is really impossible to separate them.
This is a semester (half-year) module, which means that it is offered twice this year:
Semester 1 from January to June (Examinations: May/June)
Semester 2 from July to November(Examinations: October/November)
