ORIENTATION REGARDING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
One of the biggest challenges students seem to encounter when preparing and presenting their
lessons is planning and implementation of assessments. Most students lose many marks
because of the poor assessments they include in their lesson plans, and some just do not
complete the assessment sections.
In Tutorial Letter 101 I have included recommended books and links to articles that can assist
you in your practical. Please read these books which you will find in the library.
On the TPS3704 Moodle site you will find important information including Tipptytube videos
which will orientate you to teach successfully. Please make use of these resources and engage
in the discussion forum which will improve the way you teach and learn.
You are also encouraged to read other books and articles on teaching practice to equip you
better on teaching and learning environment.
The success of your teaching practice is mostly in your hands and if you approach it with an
energetic and positive attitude, it can be a very satisfying and enriching experience. Go and
show them out there that you are going to be a professional teacher when you start teaching!
PORTFOLIO FOCUS
The purpose of this portfolio is to demonstrate and give evidence that you completed a
successful teaching practice period of 25 full school days in Further Education and Training
(grades 10-12).
Teacher education consists of different types of knowledge that must be integrated:
Conceptual knowledge (foundations of education/ theories/disciplinary knowledge/
content) with the aim of acquiring knowledge specialised proficiency.
Contextual knowledge (all aspects that endeavours to contextualise knowledge for
occupational purposes, such as subject didactics and practical teaching) with the aim of
acquiring task- specific proficiency.
It is therefore important that you find links between school practices (including their
associated activities) and your studies (including disciplinary knowledge and skills). You
6

must do this in every section of the portfolio.
This portfolio will have a whole-school perspective (understanding your role as teacher in the
school). As a student you are expected to familiarise yourself with the full range of activities that
are associated with a functional school. You not only have to observe these activities, but you
are expected to take part in as many of them as is possible. You are also expected to look at
these activities critically and to comment on their purpose, functionality, outstanding features
and possible shortcomings where applicable.
