Guidelines for facilitating

The use of TV in education has been well researched and documented. Manystudies have revealed that the power of the medium has helped learners to becomemotivated about learning. However, it is important to recognise that TV is a passivemedium, and learners need to engage actively to get maximum benefit. That is whythe role of the teacher is crucial.

At Mindset our educational philosophy is to use a range of resources to help improvelearning. In this process we actively partner with teachers who play an important rolein what is presented to learners. In many schools teachers are using DVDs andcomputers where the transmission can be stopped at strategic points. However, forlive broadcasts this is not possible. To help you facilitate and use the resourcesprovided, we need to find different strategies. Here are some suggestions you maywant to try:

Arrange the learners so that they can work in small groups of 4 6. Ensurethat they sit in a semi-circle, facing the TV. There needs to be room for you to

move between groups. We suggest that you join a different group for eachnew question.

The questions given in the session are in the learner notes. It would be best iflearners could attempt the questions before watching the broadcast. If this isnot possible, learners need to attempt to answer the question while it ispresented on TV. If they are unsure of how to proceed, they should watch tosee the answer. Encourage them to write down the solution presented, anddiscuss this with their group quietly.

If learners do not understand what is being presented, encourage them first toask their peers quietly. This will help the learners who do understand, toexplain concepts to those who dont. When a group of learners are notfollowing the presentation, encourage them to attract your attention withoutcalling out.

Some learners may not keep up with the pace of the questions beingpresented. You will need to identify the slower workers and get them to workon their own without watching the TV all the time. Encourage learners towatch the repeat broadcast.

Be aware that it is not realistic to expect learners to stay focused for the wholeday. We have, therefore, scheduled short breaks between topics. Pleaseencourage your learners to use these breaks to stand and stretch, or visit thebathroom. A lunch break has also been scheduled. It is essential that learnersuse this time to have something to eat and drink. Taking regular breaks willensure that learners are able to concentrate for longer.

The solutions to questions are provided in the learner materials. Encouragelearners to attempt the questions themselves after watching the broadcast,and using the solutions only to check that they have the correct solution.Copying out the answers will not help them prepare for the exam.

Question 1

THE GEARBOX GOGO

1. While many women are clamouring for the glamour of South Africa'sboardrooms, some are happy to get their hands dirty with some tough work.

2. Ntombifuthi Khowa (48), a mother of one from Lindelani, near Durban, isleaving men shocked by her skills. She can open up a gearbox, repair itsparts and put it back together with ease. Various parts of gearboxes line hermini-scrapyard at shack No.10. It is the home she shares with her husband of28 years, Fanisa, a former taxi boss. Fanisa taught his wife how to fixgearboxes.

3. 'I saw that she had a passion for this job, as she would always volunteer tohelp me when I was fixing the gearboxes of my taxis. I was also tired of

teaching the local boys the job as they soon left to work for car dealers intown. I knew that teaching my wife would help put food on the table, as I wasno longer able to run my business after becoming paralysed,' said Fanisa.

4. 'All my life I had ploughed the field with other women. But today I am anexpert and now run the family business,' said Khowa. A busy woman,Ntombifuthi still finds time for her duties as mother and wife.

5. 'I still cook, clean, do the washing for my family and even baby-sit mygranddaughter, four-year-old Nobuhle. I usually fix the gearboxes at nightwhen everyone is sleeping and after I have finished all my chores for the day,said Ntombifuthi.

6. Such is Ntombifuthi's talent that she is wanted by several car dealers. She

was once employed by a Springfield car dealer but left so she could be athome to take care of her husband.

7. Ntombifuthi says that some men bring their wives and girlfriends to watch herdo the job hoping they will learn a thing or two, but the women do not seeminterested. Instead, she says, they look down upon her as she is always dirty,her clothes stained with oil and grease.

Question 2With food prices rising, it is becoming more and more important to shop smartly.Being a smart shopper means using your money and time wisely.

Use the passage below to compile a list of SEVEN points on how to shopsmartly. (10)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. List SEVEN points in full sentences using no more than 70 words.2. Number your sentences from 1 to 7.3. Write only ONE point per line.4. Use your OWN words.5. Indicate the total number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your

summary.

1. Have a list in your hand while you shop, so you won't forget anything andyou won't buy any unnecessary items. Shop at a store where you can get

everything you need under one roof, from breakfast cereals to beautyproducts. You can pay certain accounts, e.g. your electricity and telephoneaccounts, at some supermarkets. This will save you time and, because youdont have to go to different stores, you can also save on travelling costs.

2. Decide on how much you are willing to spend and stick to your plan. Lookout for leaflets available in stores or in newspapers, advertising all thecurrent specials. These leaflets can be a handy guide to help you savemoney. Planning your meals around the specials advertised in theseleaflets will help you to stick to your budget.

3. Fresh vegetables are generally cheaper than processed and preparedones. Certain veggies can be frozen right after being cut, so if you see any

specials on these vegetables don't hesitate to buy in bulk.4. Buy bread or rolls and get some cold meat from the deli section to make a

nourishing lunch to take to work or school. You can save a lot of money bynot buying a sandwich or snacks. Making your own healthy lunch is notonly good for the wallet, but also for the waistline, so it's a win-win situation.

5. Certain stores carry house brands of various products such as detergents,cereals and dairy products. These are often cheaper than, and as good as,leading brand names, so it makes sense to buy house brands.
