Final product: Workshop

The workshop is a result of my study in which both lecturers and students from the ECE program were questioned. Out of the interviews and focus groups discussion four needs where concluded. One of the needs is more teaching and learning materials in class. In the workshop students created these materials, so they have more examples of materials that are used in practice. In addition, the workshop was an opportunity for them to develop their own skills. This skill are needed to teach in the pre-schools. Due to lack of funding, it is important that teachers are able to develop their own material and be creative, but above all they should try to find time to create teaching and learning materials. This workshop is a good example.

 

After the introduction the students were divided into four groups. Each group was tasked to develop teaching and learning materials for a particular problem. For instance:

Group 1- Landisa (Girl) - 4 years old- visual impairment
Group 2 - Cliford (boy) - 6 years old- learning disability
