SECTION A
Read the questions below carefully and write all your responses in paragraph form.
1.1. Leland et al. (2013: 44) believe that Brian Cambourne’s seven conditions of learning apply to all
cultural groups and to older students as well.
1.1.1 Which “conditions of learning” are met in each of the following scenarios? Give ONE reason to
justify each of your answers.
a) A teacher brings an empty cereal box to class and reads the nutritional information on the back of
the box. When she finds a difficult word, she asks the class to help her look it up in the dictionary.
b) A teacher has high-frequency words on cards posted on the class walls and pencils and paper on
each desk.
c) A teacher allows learners to choose a book for weekend reading from the class library.
a) In scenario a, the conditions of immersion, demonstration, and responsively are met. The
students are immersed in a real-world example (the cereal box) and the teacher is providing a
demonstration of how to handle difficult words. The students are also able to respond by helping
to look up the difficult word, which encourages active participation and engagement in the
learning process.
b) In scenario b, the conditions of immersion, demonstration, and responsibility are met. The high-
frequency words on the walls provide immersion in written language, the teacher's demonstration
of providing pencils and paper on each desk shows the students how to access the materials they
need for learning, and the students are given the responsibility to use the provided resources to
support their learning.
c) In scenario c, the conditions of immersion, demonstration, and responsibility are met. The
students are immersed in a print-rich environment (the class library), the teacher's demonstration
of allowing them to choose a book for reading shows them how to make independent choices, and
the students are given the responsibility to select and read a book of their choice.
1.1.2 How would you apply “Response” as a condition of learning, in a loud-reading lesson at
Foundation or Intermediate Phase level? Your answer must not exceed 150 words.
(6 mark
In a loud-reading lesson at the Foundation or Intermediate Phase level, the "Response" condition
of learning can be applied by encouraging students to actively engage with the text through
various means. This could include asking open-ended questions about the text, encouraging
students to share their thoughts and opinions, and providing opportunities for students to
participate in discussions about the reading material. Teachers can also promote response by
allowing students to demonstrate their understanding through group activities, creative projects,
or written reflections. Additionally, providing constructive feedback and positive reinforcement
for their contributions can help to further encourage active engagement with the text. By creating
