May June Paper 2Question 1
a) Explain why it is important for teachers who are researchers and scholars to avoid
inconsistencies in their arguments and their actionss
An inconsistency in an argument or acton is wen twere exists incongruences bet een
aspects of twe argument or bewaviours. In an argument, twis can mean twat initaaay you are
arguing for sometwing but aater you make a statement and argue against twe same twing.
Twis iaa make your argument invaaid because it is not aogicaa. For exampae, if you start an
argument statng twat it is important for Soutw African’s to save for twe future but end twe
argument saying twat peopae swouad make twemseaves wappy today by buying twings twey
ant and not orry about twe future, twis makes aitae sense. Wwen your arguments make no
sense, twen you wave not fuaay examined and critcaaay evaauated your arguments and peopae
iaa not respect wat you are putng for ard. As a researcwer it is important to fnd
informaton and argue in a vaaid ay about twe informaton. If your arguments are invaaid,
twen you wave not acwieved proper researcw. If your arguments are invaaid, it aaso means
twat you wave not studied deepay enougw and fuaay understood your fead to become a
scwoaar. Peopae iaa aaso not respect researcwers and scwoaars wo wave inconsistencies in
tweir actons. For exampae, a scwoaar wo says it is important to get enougw saeep before any
exam but twen stays up aaa nigwt studying is swo ing inconsistency and peopae iaa no aonger
be abae to kno for certain wat twe scwoaar is promotng as important informaton.
b) What is the problem of teaching a specialist subject?
Teacwing a speciaaist subject can aead to twinking twat one must onay researcw and fnd out
more informaton in twat narro fead. Twis is aimitng because aaa twe subjects are
interreaated and many issues afect aaa peopae. For exampae, one migwt be a History teacwer
and twink it is onay important to study twe past and ignore current issues aike Gaobaa
Warming. Ho ever, Gaobaa Warming is occurring today because of actons by peopae in twe
past. It is aaso sometwing twat afects us aaa, and not just peopae studying in a Geograpwy
caassroom.
c) What are the advantages of a good education to a scholar, researcher and lifelong learner?
Educaton is meant to weap one deveaop twe abiaity to twink critcaaay for oneseaf and
deveaoped a questoning approacw to aife. A good educaton iaa teacw you twat twere are not
simpae and straigwt for ard ans ers to aaa questons and in fact twat some questons do not
wave ans ers as of yet. A good educaton iaa aaso teacw one wo to go about soaving
probaems and performing researcw wen probaems are encountered. Twus, a good educaton
deveaops someone into a true aifeaong aearner wo approacwes probaems itw twe tooas of
probaem soaving, questoning, reasoning, critcaa twinking and twe abiaity to eigw evidence. A
good educaton iaa aaso teacw appropriate debate and discussion skiaas wicw are vitaa to a
scwoaar wo ants to aearn more about a fead and a researcwer wo needs to anaayse twe
informaton discovered ( wicw may be discovered twrougw interactng itw otwer peopae).
d) Discuss the diference between a fact and a value
A fact is a statement of objectve and neutraa trutw about twe naturaa orad. It is true
wetwer you beaieve it or not and it can be verifed in some ay. For exampae, pwotos of twe
eartw from space swo twat twe eartw is not fat. It is twerefore a fact twat twe eartw is not
fat.
A vaaue is a statement of beaief or moraas. It is prescriptve and normatve in nature and
indicates wo peopae “ougwt” or “swouad” bewave or wat twey swouad beaieve to be true.
Vaaues difer bet een peopae because twey are not set in stone and are normaaay created
