1. Suppose you are a Grade 9 EMS teacher and you are going to present a
lesson on the topic, “The economy, the circular flow”. Choose a learner-
centred teaching method (excluding the flipped classroom) that you think will
be suitable for this lesson. The lesson must be CAPS aligned (see p 44 of the
CAPS document). Hint: Discuss the learner-centred method you have chosen
by answering the following questions (provide a relevant heading in each
instance):
1.1. Give a detailed description of the learner-centred method you have
chosen. (5)
Inquiry-based learning is a learner-centred teaching method that involves the active
exploration of questions, problems or scenarios, where learners use their prior
knowledge and experiences to generate ideas and hypotheses, research and gather
information, and construct meaning through analysis, reflection and application.
1.2. Explain (using examples) how you will use the method you have chosen
to practically deliver a lesson on the topic, “The Economy, the circular
flow”, by implementing your pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).
(10)
In delivering a lesson on "The economy, the circular flow" using inquiry-based
learning, I would start by introducing the concept of the circular flow of income
and expenditure in the economy. I would then pose a question to the learners, such
as: "How does the circular flow of income and expenditure work in the South
African economy?"
