Becoming a Teacher - BTE2601
Under Graduate Degree	Year module	NQF level: 6	Credits: 12
Module presented in English		Module presented online
Purpose: This module provides a base for other core modules. The purpose of this module is for students to acquire understanding and skills that are needed within a classroom to work with the curriculum, media and assessment for learning and to manage diversity. In order to achieve this, students will interact with pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and application, reflective practice, curriculum theories and implications for practice. Furthermore, the module presents scenarios from diverse educational settings to prepare student teachers for the challenges of teaching in the South African context in both the General Education and Training (GET) and Further Education and Training bands. Preparing learners for a world of work and success after school which will be very different from our own, requires a combination of knowledge, competencies and mindsets that form the Entrepreneurial Mindset (also known as the Solution-seeking mindset.) The entrepreneurial mindset empowers learners to take ownership of their learning, becoming purpose-driven opportunity-finders and problem-solvers able to succeed in employment, entrepreneurship and further education. This is the reason we teach.
