,PLAGIARISM INFORMATION
Plagiarism is considered to be a serious form of academic misconduct and is treated as such by the University of
Johannesburg. Academic honesty and integrity are therefore expected of students in this module. Plagiarism
means that the ideas, writings, works or inventions of others are represented as one’s own. In order to avoid
plagiarism, a scholar MUST acknowledge the author or the source of any information. However, it is not sufficient
to acknowledge the source – if the exact words from the source are used by the scholar, this must be indicated in
the text using quotation marks. It is further incumbent on the scholar to keep accurate records of sources of
information and use referencing techniques to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered immoral, unethical and
illegal. The University’s Policy on plagiarism will be uploaded on ULink for you in order to promote the
understanding and prevention of plagiarism. Furthermore, the concept of plagiarism will be discussed in the
contact sessions. In the event of plagiarism, a mark of zero will be given.
STUDENT DECLARATION
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA. COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTIONAL STUDIES
Should be completed and submitted by ALL STUDENTS
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 doesn’t
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 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.

PLEASE NOTE: The school visit from a UNISA lecturer is a very important part of your
training as you get advice and support that might be valuable for your preparation as a
teacher. However, the mark you receive for the school visit does not count towards your
mark for this course, as at this stage we cannot yet guarantee that every student will be
visited. If it happens that you are not visited, your marks will not be affected in any way.
Warm regards, Mrs CJ Kotze ekotzecj@unisa.ac.za
2. OVERVIEW OF TEACHING PRACTICE MODULE 2 TPS2602
Teaching Practice module two (TPS2602) will see you completing 25 days (five weeks) of
school-based teaching in which you are required to shadow a mentor teacher and observe and
learn from them. You are required to co-teach with your mentor teacher and also individually
teach whilst your mentor teacher observes you. This practical teaching time serves as an
opportunity to become fully immersed in the role, responsibility, duties, and tasks of a teacher
in practice. These five weeks at a school will serve as Work Integrated Learning and allow you
to fully experience the teaching profession.
Practical teaching time spent at a school provides immeasurable learning opportunities and
benefits for pre-service teachers. During your practical teaching, you have the opportunity to
apply your content and subject knowledge within an authentic context, by completing authentic
teaching activities. In TPS2602, you have the opportunity to tie together what you have learnt
in all other modules and apply this knowledge in context.
In this module, you are required to complete TWO Assignments (Written Assignment 01 and
MCQ Assignment 02) in order to gain access to your practical teaching component,
Assignment 50. If you do not submit Assignment 01 ON TIME, you will not be accredited for
your teaching practice and will have to reregister for the module again next year.
