Hi everyone. I am Tebatso and I am from Bloemhof.
I want to be a foundation phase teacher because I am not only passionate about kids but there is a sense of peace when one interacts with children. I am passionate about a lot of things but just to name a few, I am passionate about family, I am passionate about kids and my other passion is music.
To be honest, I was a bit nervous about LSKM 221, but after the meeting we had with our lecturer and realizing that we will be touching on music this semester, I am excited.
My expectations are that I will get a better understanding of some of the musical terms and scales myself (laughs). And also get to know and learn how important music is to the development of the learner. I am looking forward to LSKM 221.
The reason that assessment for arts integration is not taken to consideration is because it is not considered as a form of teaching and learning. The minute it is considered as a form and strategy of teaching and learning, the assessment part thereof, will be taken into consideration.
Art can be assessed on its own and as an integrated part of the subject. But it is not assessed and it is of great concern as to why it is not assessed. Arts integration is a strategy and to see whether the strategy has worked and it has achieved its purpose, learners need to be assessed. It will be good to diagnose the problem early, should any problem arise. Therefore, arts integration assessment is critical as well.
