Introduction to my lesson TLO Unit design
Give a description of three lessons. Each lesson will build on the next so that the outcome
will be new knowledge, skills and attitudes related to career decision making. I will describe
1
, the assessment used to check students learning and finally give the rationale for the chosen
lesson to facilitate affective decision making.
PART 1 – Description of series of three Life Orientation lessons
The first lesson
Introduction of different careers: Students will be shown popular careers and also
new careers based on the fourth industrial revolution. There will be a class discussion
on how careers and jobs have changed over history and what caused these changes.
The applied pedagogical principle will be taking the students from the familiar to the
unfamiliar. During this lesson students will be on a road to guided discovery about
career choices.
Presentation: LO teacher will present the six personalities from a video or class text
book. Learners will gain knowledge of different careers and how trait factors can be
used in career choices. Students will be given a chance to do the SDS test in class.
Knowledge of the six types of personalities that would fit the best into the
corresponding career environment. As follows : The realistic personality, investigative
personality, artistic personality, social personality, Entrepreneurial personality and
conversational personality.
Students will then go into learning about the different requirements for admissions to
higher education. An example will be read and explained from a university
prospective. Such as subject requirements and length of study. Type of degree,
entrance exams and school marks.
Activity phase: Students will go into small groups and look at the entry requirements
for university for certain careers. Such as engineering, medical, political.(Group
work) The teacher will give each group a university prospective info book. Team
captain will then share this info with the rest of the class. The LO teacher will help
students understand the tertiary education system. Finally give them different options
for financial assistance such as bank loans, scholarships, bursaries. (Stead & Watson,
2006). LO teacher will explain the importance of financial planning.
Concluding phase: Ask students where their funding will come from.? Some ideas
would be loaning money from relatives or family members. Students need to be
taught that the schools financial aid division of an institution will be the first point of
contact.
