This document MUST accompany your assignment as the cover page. Assignments
without this page will not be marked.
The Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies places specific emphasis on
integrity and ethical behaviour with regard to the preparation of all written work to be submitted
for academic evaluation. Although academic personnel will provide you with information
regarding reference techniques as well as ways to avoid plagiarism, you also have a
responsibility to fulfil in this regard. Should you at any time feel unsure about the requirements,
you must consult the lecturer concerned before you submit any written work.
You are guilty of plagiarism when you extract information from a book, article or web page
without acknowledging the source, and pretend that it is your own work. In truth, you are
stealing someone else’s property. This does not only apply to cases where you quote
verbatim, but also when you present someone else’s work in a somewhat amended format
(paraphrase), or even when you use someone else’s deliberation without the necessary
acknowledgement. You are not allowed to use another student’s current or previous work. You
are furthermore not allowed to let anyone copy or use your work with the intention of presenting
it as his/her own.
Students who are guilty of plagiarism will forfeit all credit for the work concerned. In addition,
the matter can also be referred to the Disciplinary Committee for a ruling to be made.
Plagiarism is considered a serious violation of the university’s regulations and may lead to
suspension from the university. For the period that you are a student at the Department of
Curriculum and Instructional Studies, the under-mentioned declaration must accompany
all written work to be submitted. No written work will be accepted unless the declaration has
been completed and attached.

1. MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Briefly describe your teaching philosophy. Write a paragraph of 5-7 sentences on
each of the following aspects:
Why do you want to be a teacher?
How do you believe you can make a difference? [Sub-total: 10]
One of the reasons I want to be a teacher is to share my expertise with others and
help them achieve their full potential. Education is a powerful tool that can open
doors to new opportunities and perspectives, and as a language model, I have
access to a vast repository of knowledge that I can share with my students. I am
also committed to lifelong learning, and teaching provides me with the opportunity
to learn from my students and continually improve my own knowledge and skills.
I believe that I can make a difference as a teacher by creating a supportive and
engaging learning environment that encourages students to explore and grow. As
an AI language model, I am uniquely equipped to provide personalized feedback
and guidance to students based on their individual needs and learning styles. I
also believe in the importance of fostering critical thinking and problem-solving
skills, which can help students become independent, lifelong learners who are
able to adapt to an ever-changing world. Additionally, I aim to create a classroom
culture that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion, where every student feels
valued and respected regardless of their background or abilities.
