Study Unit 3

 

 

Part 1: How are you feeling; how has your week been? – In general or just with regard to your studies.

This week was a bit of a good week, I got a few things done and it went very good although we are very busy at work by the school.

What inhibited your learning this week? Would you care to elaborate?

Just the fact that I have a job and need to study but I don’t worry so much about it because while I am working I learn lot of thing that I will need to do my studies more sufficiently.

Part 2: What new things did you become aware of when working through this study unit’s content? What concept/element/idea was most significant for you in this study unit?

There was a few things that I have learned that was very interesting that I have learned:

• 7 elements of play
• Genres of play and games
• Characteristics of play

Part 3: What is your opinion about the value of the content of this study unit for your teaching practise?

Yes, I think so all the information of the content is sufficient enough.

 

 

Individual reflection

 

• What possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities?

Some learners could have feel uncomfortable because the song was not in their home language and other learners feel uncomfortable to dance in front of the boys or the girls.  

• Why were some learners uncomfortable?

One learner is not happy because they used a Zulu song that they did not understand and one girl felt uncomfortable because she had to dance in front of the boys.

• Can you think of ways to address these issues in future? What will you change?

Yes, I would speak to the learners and tell them that how importance it is to learn different language and different cultures.  The one thing I would change is that the girls and boys could maybe dance in different places that the girls or the boys don’t feel uncomfortable. If learners don’t feel uncomfortable they will do so much better in the activity they need to do.

• How can we accommodate diverse learner profiles in our classrooms? What must we beware of?

We as teacher need to them that how importance it is to learn different langue and different cultures. We need to make sure that if we play songs we play songs of all the different cultures and not just one and then we need to explain to the children the words and what does it mean. We need to beware that no all children understand all the different language so we need to teach them.
