1.1 What learning outcomes did Mrs Selato have in mind when she planned this
lesson?
In planning her lesson, Mrs Selato intended to achieve key learning outcomes
aligned with the CAPS Physical Sciences curriculum, particularly those focused on
scientific inquiry and practical investigation skills. Her objective was to enable
learners to explore the concept of electrical conductivity in salt solutions through
hands-on experimentation, fostering critical thinking, collaborative learning, and
independent problem-solving (DBE, 2011). By allowing learners to plan and
conduct their own investigations, she aimed to cultivate scientific reasoning and
enhance learner motivation, especially in a context where traditional methods
had failed to yield strong results. Furthermore, Mrs Selato's approach reflects a
shift from teacher-led demonstrations to a learner-centred inquiry model, which
aligns with the CAPS recommendation that learners should be actively engaged in
constructing scientific knowledge through investigation (DBE, 2011). Ultimately,
her desired outcomes included a deeper conceptual understanding of the topic,
improved engagement, and the development of inquiry-based learning skills
crucial for success in science education.
