a) Describe how you would define „Decolonising Education” in a South African

perspective by providing practical examples. Be as holistic as possible. Write a
paragraph of about 10 lines. (10)

- Decolosing education in a South African Perspective refers to the process of

challenging and stopping the lingering effects of colonialism in the country‟s
educational system, it involves recognizing and rectifying historical imbalances,
biases, and Eurocentric perspectives that have been ingrained in the curriculum,
pedagogy, and overall educational approach. To achieve this, several practical
examples can be implemented
 Inclusion of indigenous knowledge
 Diverse perspectives
 Language Revitalization
 Critical Thinking and Anti-Bias Education
 Curriculum Decolonization
 Diverse Faculty and staff

b) Use the lesson plan template below to develop a lesson using Africanisation
(Decolonisation) as a strategy in your FET subject specialization. Develop learning
materials such as worksheets, charts, homework activities, remedial and enrichment
exercises which you will attach to the lesson plan.
 Planned teaching Lesson
General Information Lesson Aim: (What do you as a teacher
Duration of lesson: 60 mins want to achieve?) To teach/facilitate:

Grade: 11 
Topic: population distribution and density

Objectives/Outcomes
What will the learners know / be able to do / understand by the end of the lesson? (Start
with: Learners will….)

 be able to understand the distribution (where) people live and the density
(how many) people live in an area.
 Learners will be able to list or mention the factors that influence population
distribution (why).
 Distinguish between population distribution and density
 Give reasons why certain areas attract more or less people

Explain your choice of the teaching strategy you will use.

 Learner centred approach

- This approach can be effective because it involves presenting learners with a real-
world problem or scenario and guiding them to find solution through research ,
analysis, and collaboration.

The Introduction phase (How will you get the learners ready for what you want them to
learn?)

Get all the learners seated. Begin by asking learners what they understand by the term
“population distribution and density”.

And then define population distribution and density as an increase in the number of
individuals in a population over time.

Explain to them that population growth is influenced by various factors, such as birth rates,
death rates, migration , and government policies.

How long will this take? 10 minutes

Questions you will ask:
