Barriers to learning are any factor that may impact on a learner’s ability to learn optimally in a classroom. With South African classrooms becoming more heterogenous in terms of learner needs, abilities, backgrounds, and learning preferences, teachers must plan for the diverse needs of their learners and support learners who may face learning barriers in the EMS classroom. Conduct your own research (internet search, observation in the classroom, informal interviews with teachers) to answer the questions below. All responses must be within the context of a South African classroom. 2.1 Describe any barrier to learning that is prevalent in South African classrooms. (2) 2.2 Using examples, discuss how you will plan to support leaners in your EMS classroom to overcome this barrier. (8) 3. Defend (explain and justify using examples) the importance of planning for learners’ prior knowledge before teaching new content in a lesson. (5) 4. Why is it important for a teacher to know the learners’ interests, home context, socio-economic context etc., when planning a lesson? Justify your response using examples from the EMS curriculum. (5) . 5. Suppose you are a Grade 9 EMS teacher in an under resourced school in a low-income community in South Africa. There are 48 learners in your classroom. The school does not have access to resources such as laptops or the internet. The learners do not all have access to smart devices or data at school or at TMS3708 ASSIGNMENT 3 home. The school provides learners with textbooks and workbooks but cannot fund a variety of resources for your classroom. You have chosen to use a teacher-centred teaching and learning strategy to teach the topic “Financial Literacy Cash Receipts Journal and Cash Payments Journal”. Choose and discuss any teacher-centred teaching and learning method that would be the most appropriate to teach this lesson and defend the use of this method in the context of this classroom. Use examples related to CAPS to illustrate your PCK.
