The Initial Teacher Education Research Project Report on performance in ITERP Maths test - Lynn Bowie, December 2015

The Initial Teacher Education Research Project (ITERP) studied the BEd curricula for mathematics and language and literacy for teachers intending to teach in the Intermediate Phase at 5 universities (Taylor, 2014; Deacon, 2016). In addition, tests in maths and English were used to assess the extent to which samples of 4th-year students and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) from these universities had mastered the content of these subjects, at the level the primary school curriculum. This document provides a summary of the performance of the 4th year students who wrote the pilot test in 2014 and the NQTs who wrote the revised test in 2015.

SDU UCT Annual Report 2023 SDU UCT Annual Report 2023

The Schools Development Unit has once again excelled in delivering its mandate of working with teachers and learners to improve teaching and learning within schools. The SDU has been responsible for implementing a diverse range of projects and programmes during 2023. Our teams have continued to work collaboratively with UCT’s School of Education staff, enabling expertise to be shared at the highest level. This has ensured that the Unit remains at the forefront of delivering quality training and support for teachers and learners. Our social responsiveness programmes, 100UP and the School Improvement Initiative (SII), continue to be beacons of hope for our learners and school communities. These programmes provide the best possible opportunities for schools to become centres of excellence, and, in the case of 100UP, for learners to be supported, academically and psychosocially, in accessing study opportunities at higher education institutions. Both programmes strengthen UCT’s commitment to transformation, diversity and community engagement. The Grade R Mathematics Project is currently being implemented in Gauteng, in which the SDU has been working in close collaboration with the Gauteng Department of Education and JET Education services. This project has placed the SDU at the forefront of delivering quality Early Childhood Development (ECD) training courses. As this sector becomes increasingly critical in the cognitive and psychosocial development of grade R-3 learners, the SDU is currently expanding this programme, in collaboration with various partners, to offer more innovative ways of training our ECD teachers. The theme for this Annual Report is Changing schools for good.

Enhancing Teacher Training through Innovative Distance and blended Learning Models: Insights, Collaborations, and Research Enhancing Teacher Training through Innovative Distance and blended Learning Models: Insights, Collaborations, and Research

Two higher education institutions (HEIs) shared their models for the B.Ed. programme in initial teacher education (ITE), with inputs on online/blended learning. The discussion then explored how providers of extended student teacher internships (ESTIs) who offer diverse forms of wrap-around support to distance education students could partner with HEIs through activities related to the work integrated learning (WIL) component of the B.Ed. or in other capacities. The focus was also on the type of evidence required to show the value of the ESTI model and the work of the non-government organisation Implementing Partners (NGO IPs) in order to motivate for these partnerships or service offerings. This report is a summary of the discussions during the TICZA Community of Practice (CoP) Series COP #15 Summary Report: 3 October.
