Section Five builds on concepts developed throughout the module and on the idea that how teachers solve problems relating to space and time depends on what their teaching purpose is and on who the learners are.

Section Three focuses on external arrangements of time and space and how these affect teaching and learning.

 Time and space in teaching: Teaching as a practice that shapes, and is shaped by, time and space. By the end of the section you should be able to use concepts to help you think about school teaching and how it is related to arrangements of time and space.

 

Section Two builds a conceptual foundation for the module as a whole. By the end of the section you should be able to use the following concepts to help you think about school teaching and how it is related to arrangements of time and space:

• internal time and space;

• external time and space;

This module explores how South African teachers can reorganize the spaces in which they teach, and the way in which time is organized in their schools, to improve learning.

Working in Classrooms looks at how arrangements of time and space shape school teaching; and at how teachers, principals and government departments of education shape the time and space for learning in schools.

How can we help learners to develop the ability to respond to media more critically? This section aims to enable you to do just that.

Popular electronic media provide teachers with excellent resources for improving language skills, such as listening and speaking. Like newspapers and magazines, radio and television also provide a rich resource base for enriching the teaching of content knowledge in different learning areas.

In this section we will explore how popular print media – in particular newspapers and magazines – can be used to improve classroom learning and teaching.

In Section Two, through a story of one teacher's attempt to teach in a learnercentred, activity-based manner, we will deepen your understanding of how media resources can be used to enrich outcomes-based education.
