Thanks to the Education Faculty students across South Africa will have access to recorded teacher training material.
This initiative is part of the Strengthening Foundation Phase Project funded by the European Union and the Department of Higher Education and Training.
Video recordings were made of Grade R and One lessons which were presented by CPUT students at different schools in the Western Cape. The lessons focused on language and mathematics.
The videos will be distributed with support guides to all universities in South Africa that offer teacher training programmes.
Senior lecturer in the Foundation Phase Department, Nici Rousseau, who coordinated the project, says the teacher training material can be used at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
“We hope that these videos with the support guides will become invaluable didactic tools, which will above all invite meaningful discussions between students and their lecturers on the many aspects that influence learning and teaching,” says Rousseau.
