QUESTION 1 Define the following concepts:
1.2 Teaching method
Fraser et al (1990:139) define a teaching method as “the various classroom activities planned by
the teacher, which must always take the main components of the didactic situation (pupils,
teachers and content) into consideration’’. There is no formula that beginner teachers can use
to select a method for a specific teaching situation. Various factors mean that a variety of
methods – and even more than one in the same lesson situation – should be used in teaching
Business Studies. These factors include the teacher’s personality and talents, and the learners’
abilities, level of knowledge and level of experience, as well as the distinctive nature of the
subject, class size and facilities and the purpose of the lesson in question.
1.3 Teaching strategy
A teaching strategy or approach is defined as a broad plan of action for teaching and learning
activities in order to achieve an outcome. This implies that the Business Studies teacher should
formulate a cohesive plan that outlines the approach that she or he intends to take to enable
learners to achieve the intended learning outcomes in a lesson (Van der Horst & McDonald
2001:133). There are many teaching strategies. It is up to you as a novice teacher or teacher in
training to decide on the approach to use to introduce Business Studies to your learners. As a
beginner teacher you might be wondering what approach is best.
1.4 Teaching approach
It is a set of principles, beliefs, or ideas about the nature of learning which is translated into the
classroom. An approach is a way of looking at teaching and learning. Underlying any language
teaching approach is a theoretical view of what language is, and of how it can be learnt. An
approach gives rise to methods, the way of teaching something, which use classroom activities
or techniques to help learners learn.
QUESTION 2
Explain how you would implement the following cooperative learning techniques in your class:
