QUESTION 1
1.1.1 Useful or interesting information learnt from the module
During this module, I learnt many meaningful ideas that helped me understand how to
support learners’ personal and social wellbeing. Six key ideas stood out to me.
First, I learnt about the importance of life skills and how they help children develop
confidence, decision-making abilities, and positive relationships. These skills prepare
learners to face real-life challenges and grow into responsible adults (IPS1501 Study Guide,
2020, Lesson 1).
Second, I found Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development very interesting. It
explains that people go through eight stages of development, each with its own emotional
challenge. Teachers must help learners build trust, confidence, and independence at the
right stages (IPS1501 Study Guide, 2020, Lesson 2).
Third, the module taught me about Lev Vygotsky’s social development theory, which

Third, the module taught me about Lev Vygotsky’s social development theory,
which says that learning happens through interaction and support from others. This
helped me understand why group work and guided learning are important in the
classroom (IPS1501 Study Guide, 2020, Lesson 2).
Fourth, I learnt about care and support in diverse learning environments,
especially for learners affected by poverty, illness, or disabilities. I realised that
teachers must create safe and caring spaces for every learner (IPS1501 Study
Guide, 2020, Lesson 3).
Fifth, the bio-ecological theory by Bronfenbrenner showed me how a child’s
growth is shaped by many systems—family, school, and community. This theory
helped me see that teachers must work with families and communities to support
learners’ wellbeing (IPS1501 Study Guide, 2020, Lesson 4).
Sixth, I found the section on ethics for teachers very useful. It reminded me that
teachers must act with honesty, fairness, and respect for learners’ rights at all times
(IPS1501 Study Guide, 2020, Lesson 6).
