STUDENT ANTI-PLAGIARISM DECLARATION
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTIONAL STUDIES
This document MUST accompany your assignment as the cover page. Assignments without
this page will not be marked.
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 does not 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 current or 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.

best (refer to learning styles found in a modern classroom); how you believe

modern classroom); why you believe teaching is a vital profession in South
Africa; and how you believe you can make a difference.
My teaching philosophy is a modern, technological advance,and forward thinking.
I think that teachers must be able to prepare learners for the future world. There
must be a value and ethics system. Learners must be taught discipline, ethics,
ubuntu and have a willingness to learn.
I want to create an enviroment where learners are enthusiatic to acquire
knowledge and skills. I would like to expose learners to the positive side of
learning and encourage them to have dreams. I would like to motivate them to
