32019 UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

The Faculty of Education at UJ is committed to knowledge making for 21 century education. To this end the Faculty offers initial teacher education programmes (Bachelor of Education degrees).

Teacher education for primary school teaching BEd in Foundation Phase Teaching (Grades R-3) BEd in Intermediate Phase Teaching (Grades 4-7)Teacher education for secondary school teacher education BEd in Senior Phase and FET Teaching (Grades 7-12)

In addition to the BEd in Senior Phase and FET teaching a second route is available for graduates who are interested in teaching at the secondary school level. This programme is the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). PGCE (Further Education and Training Teaching)

(Grade 7-12) PGCE: (Senior Phase & Further Education and Training

Teaching) (Grade 10-12)

Through its teacher education programmes, the Faculty strives to prepare teachers who are caring, accountable and critically reflective about the who, what, how and why of teaching in a diversity of contexts. Through integrating coursework at the University and practicum at schools the Faculty creates learning opportunities for student-teachers to acquire a thorough understanding of learning and development

in childhood/adolescence sound subject knowledge an understanding of contextual factors that impact

learning and schooling an appreciation of the demands of the teaching profession a repertoire of teaching strategies and skills a reflective stance towards teaching.

The primary school teacher education programmes are unique in the country. The coursework is integrated with practical experience over four years in the UJ founded, Funda UJabule School. At this school, which is situated on the Soweto campus, students observe how children learn and develop, they work closely with teachers and they are mentored by the teachers.

Disclaimer: Due to limited space, fulfilling all the minimum entry requirements does not guarantee acceptance into a programme.

SCHOOL BASED PRACTICUM/ WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING (WIL)Prescribed periods of school based practicum/ WIL must be completed in approved schools during the time of study. Students complete their school based practicum/ WIL during the year in which they study their methodologies. These school based practicum/ WIL is planned as follows: Three consecutive weeks the first semester. Seven consecutive weeks in the second semester. It could be expected of students to complete these periods of practical teaching during university holidays. The university reserves the right to do placement of students in schools in alignment with the training needs. Although

students employed as full time teachers are allowed to complete their WIL at the schools where they teach, they may be placed at another school for the nine weeks of WIL if they are not teaching in the phase they are registered for or not teaching the subject methodology registered for.

SERVICE LEARNINGStudents will be required to complete 46 hours of service learning throughout the year at selected schools and community sites which is a compulsory component of the Education and Teaching Studies module.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS for the BEd programmes A valid National Senior Certificate (NSC) with admission for degree purposes. Minimum APS of 26, excluding Life Orientation. A Bachelor’s degree endorsement (the minimum entry requirements to study towards a degree) does not guarantee

admission to the BEd. Preliminary admission is based on the results obtained in the final Grade 11 examination.

Final admission is based on the final Grade 12 results.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: National Certificate (vocational) (NCV)Subject to institutional admission requirements, the minimum admission requirement to Bachelor’s degree programme is a National Certificate (Vocational) Level 4 issued by the Council for General and Further Education and Training. The minimum legislative requirements for admission to a Bachelors’ degree include the achievement of: Three (3) fundamental subjects between 60-69% – including English as language of learning and teaching. Three vocational subjects from the designated list between 70-79%.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS for applicants holding the National Senior Certificate for Adults (NASCA) or the Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) for qualifications in the Faculty of Education.The B-degree endorsement is a legal requirement to be admitted into the undergraduate programmes in the Faculty of Education. Thus for both the NASCA and ASC for admission to a programme in the Faculty of Education the Senate Discretionary Approval process will be followed.

Applications will be dealt with by the Faculty Teaching and Learning Committee for recommendation to the Faculty Board. Faculty Board will then refer the approved applications to Senate for Senate Discretionary approval.

They engage in structured observation and progressively take up limited classroom assistance and teaching responsibilities. This allows for continuous integration of theory and practice. The fourth year of the programme will strongly focus on developing the student teacher as reflective practitioner. During their fourth year students will be placed at different schools on the list of approved schools for Work Integrated Learning (WIL). During their placements in schools they will not only take on teaching responsibilities, but they will also do assignments which will require the demonstration of integrated and applied knowing. These assignments will form the basis for engaging in critical reflection during coursework on campus.

• The curriculum does not include the development of basic ICT competence as fundamental learning. Students who do not pass a basic ICT competency test will be required to attend compulsory ICT skills training.

SPECIFIC REGULATIONS FOR THE BED IN SENIOR PHASE AND FET TEACHING

• Teaching methodology and practicum are integrated. This implies that students will engage in learning from practice, learning in practice and learning from service, aiming at developing specialised pedagogical content knowledge and teaching competence in each subject area.

• The fourth year of the programme will strongly focus on developing the student teacher as reflective practitioner. During their fourth year students will be placed in different schools on the list of approved schools for Work Integrated Learning (WIL). During their placements at schools they will not only take on teaching responsibilities, but they will also do assignments which will require the demonstration of integrated and applied knowing. These assignments will form the basis for engaging in critical reflection during coursework on campus.

• The fourth year module follows a “commuting” (Korthagen et al 2001)2 structure. In the fourth year a practice-to-theory-to-practice approach is followed – an alternation between practical in-school experiences, reflection on these experiences, relating experiences to relevant theory, and bringing theory to bear on fresh situations. The academic coursework on campus is primarily aimed at preparing students for their placement in schools, but also affords students the opportunity to reflect on their experiences in schools and to enrich these experiences through invoking theory, which in turn will initiate the next cycle in the practice-to-theory-to-practice approach. During placement at schools, students will be required to take on teaching responsibilities, as well as completion of assignments which will require the demonstration of integrated and applied knowing.

• The curriculum does not include the development of basic Information Communications Technology (ICT) competence as fundamental learning. Students who do not pass a basic ICT competency test will be required to attend compulsory ICT skills workshops

• Students do the academic majors with other faculties therefore the content is not reflected in the presentation. The home department principle applies that other faculties take full responsibility for the modules. However the learning support specializations and the Technology related majors are offered by the Faculty of Education and are included in this presentation.
