They have to find a solution. 2.4 As a teacher, you guide learners to construct new meaning and knowledge based on existing knowledge. 2.5 The teacher and learners took turns leading small-group discussions based on a reading. 2.6 The class is divided into small groups that must prepare and present a topic that is unfamiliar to them.

But, most importantly, technology enables communication among learners, between learner and teacher, or through automatic feedback. 2.10 Asking the learners randomly questions keep everyone on their toes because no one knows who is going to be asked next.

Which principles for selecting contents and making decisions about sequencing the contents are important? (5) How should the teacher be guided in their teaching of the curriculum? (5) What should be the focal point of assessment? (5) What is the most valuable aspect of the approach? (5) (5x4=20) Downloaded by Corona Virus () lOMoARcPSD| 4.2 Identify and discuss which of the three curriculum approaches (product/process/pragmatic) you would regard as the most appropriate for South African schools within a diverse context (a variety of languages, beliefs, and values) and as a developing country. Substantiate your discussion and support your argument by demonstrating the weaknesses of the approaches that you did not choose.
