2  Educator provides the learners with content.  It is a educator approach  Examples : lectures and demonstrations  Educators must keep the following in mind: 1. Outcomes must be very clear to learners in advance 2. Feedback must be academically orientated

3  The educator must monitor the learners carefully  The educator must exercise strict control of he time allocated to different activities

4  Interaction between people where ideas are exchanged  The whole class can be involved or can be divided in small groups  Discussions can form part of the lesson or more than one part  Give the information well ahead of time: e.g. discuss the advantages and disadvantages of genetically foods, you would certainly give an opinion if you read about the topic

5  Small group discussions will be valuable in the following cases (Killen 1996:60):  To deepen the learner’s understanding of a subject or learning area  For learners to exchange ideas and learn from one another  To improve learners’ communication skills while they are learning the content  To give one group of learners some extra attention while the rest of the groups are actively learning

6  Means working together to achieve the same goal. Learners can help one another if given opportunities  Follow the following guidelines: 1. Set objectives very clearly ahead of time 2. Select the most suitable form of cooperative learning for your learning area 3. Explain how the learning activity is going to work

7 4. Start with a introduction the first day and gradually make it longer 5. Provide enough resources and aids 6.Mix the group according to gender, abilities, culture etc) 7. Develop a system to acknowledge and reward learning, both by individual learners and in respect of the group’s achievements

8 8. Assessment instruments must be set before hand 9. Make time for reflection

9  Is a process where existing knowledge is applied to understand a new or strange situation.  The student also acquires new information when using the problem solving skills.

10  The imitation of real conditions  A case study or role play includes simulation  Demonstrations can be given in simulation situations.  Simulations is an event where the following features (Maley 1997:159): 1. It must hav reality of function, no play acting or fooling around

11  The environment is simulated. There is no contact with the real world  Simulation must have a structure. Not pretend or invent. All facts and information must be provided for them  Simulations are usually problem centred:The problem set must be open ended.

12  A case study is a presentation of a real problematic event or of something that could possibly happen, so that learners can analyse, investigate and discuss it and then suggest possible solutions or make predictions.  Case studies can be used to introduce new info, concepts and theories, or to enable learners to apply their knowledge and skills in certain situations. Often used in assessment.  The problem scenario can be a video or else ach student must have a copy of the case

13  Is a variation of simulations, and contribute to problem solving skills.  It implies that learners have to stage a situation rather than reading about it or watch a video  They act out real life situations  It often includes case studies, to give them an opportunity to put themselves in somebody else's shoes.  Encourage shy learners who do not want to participate by using a mask

14  To obtain as many options and ideas about something.  Raise a problem let students list as many key words possible to solve the problem  All ideas are accepted in the first instance and nobody is allowed to to evaluate them  Ideas can be classified as useful, too expensive, irrelevant etc.  The useful ideas can then be considered further

15  Research is the systematic collection of information, the interpretation of the information and the drawing of conclusions from it ( Du Plessis et al, 2007:34)  When learners do research for the first time. Make resources available to them.

16  In groups of six use al 10 teaching strategies and create a learning activity for each one ( 20 min)  Present these learning activity examples to the rest of the class ( 10 min)
