PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

Purpose: The Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Phase (B Ed SP and FET) qualification aims to develop graduates as competent, professional teachers, able and committed to the enhancement of education in diverse schools in South Africa and beyond. As such the qualification aims to provide teachers with the required knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance teaching and learning in three school subjects (two FET and one SP subject). The Exit Level Outcomes and the Associated Assessment Criteria are designed to enhance the teacher competencies provided by the Department of Higher Education and Training in the revised MRTEQ (2015). The B Ed SP and FET Teaching qualification has the primary purpose of providing well-rounded teacher education that equips graduates with the required subject content knowledge base; educational theory; and methodology that will enable them to demonstrate competence and responsibility as academic and professionally qualified school teachers. The aim of the qualification is to equip teachers with the knowledge, skills and values needed to effectively mediate learning in schools in the Senior Phase and Further Education and Training, specialising in specific secondary school subjects. Rationale: The current challenges in education in South Africa are well documented, as is the poor performance of learners in critical learning areas. The legacy of apartheid education and history still prevails in schools, and this affects educational contexts and the people who participate in it. It is thus of paramount importance to ensure that future teachers are enabled with the requisite skills, knowledge, values and attitudes to attend fully to the needs of learners, and the overall goals of education, including to help build a better, socially just society in which its citizens can live a decent life. South Africa needs teachers who are responsible, accountable and highly motivated to teach their subjects - teachers who are empowered to not only apply theory to and in practice, but to critically reflect on the suitability and appropriateness of specific approaches, strategies and techniques within diverse learning contexts - teachers who can educate the 21st Century Learner. The outcome of National Reviews of Teacher Education qualifications highlighted that there is a need for the re-design of all the Bachelor of Education qualifications. The various recommendations from those reviews and this report have informed the new 'Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications' (MRTEQ) Policy (2011). These policy recommendations have been taken into account in the re-curriculation of the Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Phase Teaching [B Ed SP & FET] qualification. The curriculated B Ed SP and FET Teaching qualification will replace the current B Ed FET on the PQM and will aim to address the increasing need for properly qualified SP and FET Phase teachers. The B Ed FET will include additional FET specialisations (languages and social sciences) currently not offered. Whereas the current qualification is restricted to the FET phase, the new qualification (B Ed SP and FET) will be more comprehensive as it will also include Senior Phase subject specialisations. This should also attract more students. The primary employer of teachers, the Department of Basic Education, emphasises in their publication, Action Plan to 2014: Towards the Realisation of Schooling 2025 (Department of Basic Education, 2011), the need for new teachers to be nurtured at university level, to enable well qualified young teachers to enter into teaching in the school sector. As such, the B Ed SP and FET teaching qualification will play an important role to realise this imperative.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): Students admitted to the Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Phase (BEd SP and FET) Phase Teaching must be in possession of a recognised qualification at Level 4. By way of exception, students may be admitted through RPL in terms of the institution's RPL policy. Teachers who are in possession of a recognised Certificate or Diploma in education or another relevant field, may present their qualifications for entry into the qualification with a possibility of transfer of credits for cognate previous studies. Entry Requirements: The minimum admission requirement for this qualification is: National Senior Certificate (NSC) granting access to Bachelors' Degree studies and with appropriate subjects. Or National Certificate Vocational (NCV) granting access to Bachelors' Degree studies and with appropriate subjects.

It also serves to assist lecturers in their planning of the teaching of the content. Summative Assessment: Formal assessment activities which include examinations, determining promotion and graduation. Integrated Assessment: The School-Based Learning modules include integrated assessment where students are required to develop an evidence-based portfolio reflecting their professional engagement in the educational context in which they have been practising. Evaluative Assessment: To obtain feedback on the quality of the modules of the Bachelor of Education qualification. The nature of assessment will be based on the nature of the modules, including what the lecturer(s) facilitating the module deem most appropriate assessment for and of learning. A wide range of assessment activities will be employed, including: Assignments. Tests. Projects. Reflections. Presentations. Case studies. Role play. Posters. Electronically delivered projects. Reflections. Journal writing. Lesson planning. Group assignments. Online assessments. School-based lesson presentations. Formal final assessment. Capstone portfolio.

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY

The qualification is grounded in international theories and philosophies on teacher education for the 21st century and several national and international scholars have been consulted, including Shulman, Darling-Hammond, Feiman-Nemser, Cochran-Smith, Rusznyak, Morrow, Nsemang and others. The design of the Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Phase (B Ed SP and FET) Teaching Qualification has also been informed by recommendations following the national reviews of Teacher Education qualifications conducted by the HEQC during the period 2005 - 2007. This qualification is comparable with High School/Secondary School/ Gymnasium Teacher Education Qualifications offered internationally including the Dual-subject Bachelor in Education Degree offered by the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldendenburg (Germany), The Bachelor's Degree in Education / Special Education offered by the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) and the Bachelor of Education (In a specific High School Subject e.g. Technology Education) at Moi University in Kenya.

ARTICULATION OPTIONS

The qualification offers systemic articulation with the following qualifications offered by other institutions, provided the learner meets the minimum entry requirements: Horizontal Articulation: Advanced Diploma, Level 7. Vertical Articulation: Bachelor of Education Honours Degree, Level 8. A cognate Postgraduate Diploma, Level 8.
