His teacher notices that he struggles to cope with some academic demands, which can result in feelings of inferiority. Lesego’s greatest fear is to do a presentation in front of the class. The teacher realises that, if she helps him to do certain tasks, he may soon learn to execute the tasks independently. The teacher decides to design learning steps for Lesego, with the end goal of him being able to do a presentation in front of the class. She invites him to write one short presentation every day, consisting of just two sentences. During break, when all the children have left the class, he stands and, while looking at the empty chairs, he recites the two sentences. After a week, Lesego is ready and invites his best friend to listen to his speech. The teacher teaches him to make eye contact with his friend and to ensure that his hands are still, while he speaks. She also teaches him to talk silently (to himself) before he gets up to do a speech, so that he remains calm. After a week Lesego is ready to do a short presentation in front of the class. He gets up and bravely walks to the front. The teacher can see his lips move and realises that he is talking to himself to calm himself down. He then looks at the class and, while keeping his hands still, he delivers his first ever presentation in front of the class. Afterwards, Lesego is extremely happy. The teacher observes that he takes on more tasks in the classroom and also takes part in class debates. 3.1 Identify and discuss the stage of Erikson’s psychosocial theory in which Lesego may be placed.

(1) 3.4 The teacher taught Lesego to talk silently to himself. Refer to Vygotsky’s theory and state what this intervention is an example of. Complete this sentence: Lesego helped himself by… (1) 3.5 Will the help that the teacher gave Lesego, assist him with other schoolwork? Give a reason for your answer. (2) 3.6 Lesego managed to take part in class debates. Of what, according to Erikson’s psychosocial theory, is this a sign? (1) 3.7 Read page 10 in your study guide for IPS1501. Considering the views of Broderick and Blewitt (2015:11), write down THREE (3) characteristics that Life Skills and other teachers should have, to enable their learners to move successfully through the different stages according to Erikson’s psychosocial theory. (3) [15] Read the following excerpt from your study guide (page 26): “Young people should learn to protect themselves against these diseases with skills like “assertiveness; decision making and problem solving; self-efficacy; confidence and self-awareness; a belief in the right to make your own choices; the ability to handle peer pressure; taking responsibility for yourself and for others in the community; conflict resolution; empathy; and communication skills” (UNAIDS, 2008:7 in Koen, 208:167). The skills mentioned in this quotation are important skills in all areas of life and should be taught as life skills. Consider these skills in the context of learners in the intermediate phase to answer the following questions. Select THREE (3) of the skills mentioned, and for each skill that you select, discuss… a. The meaning (definition) of the skill (concept) (2) b. Give an example of a situation in which a learner in the intermediate phase may demonstrate this skill. (2) c. One way in which a Life Skills Teacher can enable learners to develop the skill (1) (3 x 5 = 15 marks) Example of how to answer 1.1 to 1.3. Use your own, (a) definition, (b) example and (c) explanation. 1.1 Skill: the ability to handle peer pressure a. Learners do not feel pressured to do what their friends or peers tell them to do but have the confidence to stand up for what they believe is the right thing to do. b. A new girl is placed in class and some of the children in Shezi’s class tease the new girl because her head has been shaved. They do not want to sit with her during break. They say that anyone who sits with the ‘chiskop’ is a loser. Shezi stands up to peer pressure by having empathy for the new girl, befriending and sitting with her during break. c. A teacher can encourage learners to speak up for what they believe in and develop their confidence by listening to what they have to say and supporting their positive behaviour.
