[COMPANY NAME]
, 1. Thato is a newly qualified senior phase EMS teacher at a well-resourced
school in South Africa. Thato has been very focused on classroom discipline
and has adopted a teacher-centered autocratic teaching style in her
classroom. She has noticed that the learners seem uninterested in the subject
content and do not participate in the lessons eagerly. On the other hand, the
headmaster has identified you as the most passionate and innovative EMS
teacher at the school who has shown a great connection with the learners. He
advises Thato to approach you for advice on how to improve learner interest
and participation in her Grade 7 EMS classroom. Thato asks you to help her
plan a lesson for her Grade 7 EMS class on the topic, “The Economy: Needs
and wants”. Choose a learner-centred teaching method (excluding the flipped
classroom) that you think will be suitable for this lesson. The lesson must be
CAPS aligned. Hint: Discuss the learner-centred method you have chosen by
answering the following questions (provide a relevant heading in each
instance): 1.1. Give a detailed description (in your own words) of the learner-
centred method you will advise Thato to use and justify why you have chosen
this method in the context of the Grade 7 class given above. (5)
The learner-centered teaching method I would advise Thato to use for her
Grade 7 EMS class on the topic of "The Economy: Needs and wants" is Inquiry-
Based Learning (IBL).
1.1. Description of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL):
Inquiry-Based Learning is a student-centered approach where learners actively
engage in constructing their own understanding of concepts through
exploration, investigation, and questioning. Rather than simply receiving
information from the teacher, students are encouraged to ask questions,
gather data, analyze information, and draw conclusions. It involves hands-on
activities, discussions, and problem-solving tasks that promote critical
thinking, creativity, and collaboration among students.
Justification for Choosing IBL:
