Planning and preparation

Teacher when and how he or
she does his /her yearly,
termly, weekly and daily
planning, and report on this
conversation here.
Teaching strategies
Teaching strategies can be defined as the approach, methods and actions that are taken when facilitating
learning. The choice of which teaching strategy to use is influenced by various factors such as the learning
outcomes of a subject, teacher and learner preferences, resource availability, to name a few. A
combination of teaching strategies can also be utilized (Killen, 2010). The following different types of
teaching styles are categorised by Killen (2010):
• Direct instruction – lecturing, in other words a one-way direction in conveying knowledge directly
to learners.
• Discussion – orderly exchanging of ideas and expressing of opinions between learners or learners
and teacher.
• Small-group work – two or more learners working together on an allocated task.
• Co-operative learning – working together to achieve a shared goal in sequential steps.
• Problem solving – developing new knowledge through solving problems constructed by the
teacher.
• Learner research – learning through doing research in a specified process.
• Role-play – putting learners into imaginary situations, therefore, learning by putting yourself into
somebody else’s shoes.
• Case-study – learning from real life stories.
WEEK 3
The demands and challenges of the teaching profession
