, 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 the Jigsaw Method.
1.1. Description and Justification:
Description: The Jigsaw Method is a cooperative learning strategy where students work in small
groups to become "experts" on a specific topic and then teach their findings to their peers. In the
context of the Grade 7 EMS class, Thato can divide the class into small groups, assigning each
group a specific aspect of the economy, such as needs, wants, types of resources, etc.
Each group would then research their assigned topic using provided resources or textbooks. They
would collaborate to understand the key concepts and prepare a brief presentation to teach their
peers. After a designated research period, the groups would reconvene, and each member would
take turns teaching their assigned topic to their classmates.
Justification:
1. Promotes Active Learning: The Jigsaw Method encourages active participation from all
students. Instead of passively receiving information from the teacher, students engage in
research, discussion, and teaching, promoting deeper understanding and retention of the
subject matter.
2. Fosters Collaboration: By working in small groups, students learn how to collaborate
effectively, share responsibilities, and respect each other's contributions. This fosters a
sense of teamwork and community within the classroom.
