QUESTION 1 [36] 1.1 Read the following scenarios and indicate whether the
teacher acted professionally or not in each scenario. If your answer is yes,
give three (3) examples indicating the teacher���s professional actions
and if your answer is no, give three examples of professional actions the
teacher should have demonstrated. (21) Scenario 1: Tebogo did not do her
homework and her teacher punished her by detaining her at school for two
hours. During that time she cleaned the classrooms. When she went back
home and told her father about it, her father became furious. The following
morning, when Tebogo’s father took her to school, he angrily confronted the
teacher and then slapped him. The teacher then slapped the parent and there
was a huge commotion. After the commotion when Tebogo’s father was gone,
the teacher detained Tebogo again to get back at her father. Scenario 2:
Comrade Fire does not compromise when it comes to her political affiliation.
She is a teacher at Phiri High School. She goes to work wearing her political
regalia. When she makes announcements at the assembly, in her school, she
starts by chanting the political slogans and encourages the learners to chant
with her. The slogans are sometimes offensive to other teachers and learners.
She also uses her class time to recruit and encourage learners to join her
political party. Scenario 3: Mr Complainer is the administrator of the Proud
Secondary School Facebook page. One of the subscribers of the school’s
Facebook page, introduced bullying as a topic for discussion. Mr Complainer
indicated there was a lot of bullying at the school by the management and the
school need interventions to deal with bullying. 1.2 Read the below passage
and respond to the given questions. Mrs Tall a grade 12 physical science
teacher, was polite and friendly to her learners, but it was clear she wasn’t
trying to be the learners’ friend. For instance, she used the formal pronoun for
addressing the group of learners, which is unusual in this situation. Maybe she
thought using somewhat formal language added to creating a professional
work environment, and he might have hoped this would make learners pay
more attention in class. The teacher seemed very serious about her field and
approached the classes in an organised manner: she would explain new
topics by drawing and writing on the board whilst talking about the subject.
, She also frequently made her learners take small exams. In the class,
following such an exam she would show the learners pre-made drawings of
the answers and how to get there using an overhead projector. This allowed
the learners to figure out what they did wrong and how they can do better at
the bigger exams. Mrs Tall will often take her learners on trips to the
university’s laboratories where they will see a few ‘special’ demonstrations.
These demonstrations made the theory seem much more relevant, and Mrs
Tall went the extra mile to ensure that her learners would grasp the physics
concepts. Although physical science is a difficult subject, she has always had
many learners and got a 100% pass rate on the exam. 1.2.1 Identify the five
roles of a teacher played by Mrs Tall (5) 1.2.2 Give two examples of each role
showing how Mrs Tall played the indicated role (10) QUESTION 2 [24]
