QUESTION 2
Read through the following statements/scenarios and write down which teaching
strategy will be the most effective.
2.1 Learners need to develop a strong base of declarative knowledge to synthesis their
knowledge into an appropriate model and recognise common solution strategies.
2.2 It is two weeks before the election and you want the learners, who are 18 and
who will vote for the first time, to understand exactly how a polling station
functions.
2.3 The teacher states a problem and ALL the learners in the class participate.
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 have to prepare and present a topic
that is unfamiliar to them. The teacher will provide support.
2.7 As a Mathematics teacher, your main focus is to listen to the learners'
mathematical thinking and use it as a basis for instruction.
2.8 You want to encourage your learners to be open-minded and allow them to
develop self-confidence when reasoning.
2.9 Many aspects can facilitate the learning process, including books, media or
objects; but, most importantly, technology enables communication among
learners, between learner and teacher, or through automatic feedback.
