BEd in Senior Phase and FET Teaching (Grades 7-12)
In addition to the BEd in Senior Phase and FET teaching a
second route is available for graduates who are interested in
teaching at the secondary school level. This programme is
the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
PGCE (Further Education and Training Teaching)
(Grade 10-12)

Through its teacher education programmes, the Faculty strives
to prepare teachers who are caring, accountable and critically
reflective about the who, what, how and why of teaching in
a diversity of contexts. Through integrating coursework at
the University and practicum at schools the Faculty creates
learning opportunities for student-teachers to acquire
a thorough understanding of learning and development
in childhood/adolescence
sound subject knowledge
an understanding of contextual factors that impact
learning and schooling
an appreciation of the demands of the teaching profession
a repertoire of teaching strategies and skills
a reflective stance towards teaching.
The primary school teacher education programmes are
unique in the country. The coursework is integrated with
practical experience over four years in the UJ founded,
Funda UJabule School. At this school, which is situated on
the Soweto campus, students observe how children learn
and develop, they work closely with teachers and they are

specialised pedagogical content knowledge and teaching competence in each subject area.
• The students spend on a regular basis time in the teaching school linked to the University on the
UJ Soweto Campus. They engage in structured observation and progressively take up limited
classroom assistance and teaching responsibilities. This allows for continuous integration of
theory and practice. The fourth year of the programme will strongly focus on developing the
student teacher as reflective practitioner. During their fourth year students will be placed at
different schools on the list of approved schools for Work Integrated Learning (WIL). During their
placements in schools they will not only take on teaching responsibilities, but they will also do
assignments which will require the demonstration of integrated and applied knowing. These
assignments will form the basis for engaging in critical reflection during coursework on campus.
• The curriculum does not include the development of basic ICT competence as fundamental
learning. Students who do not pass a basic ICT competency test will be required to attend
compulsory ICT skills training.

• Teaching methodology and practicum are integrated. This implies that students will engage

• The fourth year of the programme will strongly focus on developing the student teacher as

they will not only take on teaching responsibilities, but they will also do assignments which will
require the demonstration of integrated and applied knowing. These assignments will form the
basis for engaging in critical reflection during coursework on campus.
• The fourth year module follows a “commuting” (Korthagen et al 2001)2 structure. In the fourth
year a practice-to-theory-to-practice approach is followed – an alternation between practical
in-school experiences, reflection on these experiences, relating experiences to relevant theory,
and bringing theory to bear on fresh situations. The academic coursework on campus is
primarily aimed at preparing students for their placement in schools, but also affords students
the opportunity to reflect on their experiences in schools and to enrich these experiences
through invoking theory, which in turn will initiate the next cycle in the practice-to-theory-to-
practice approach. During placement at schools, students will be required to take on teaching
responsibilities, as well as completion of assignments which will require the demonstration of
integrated and applied knowing.
• The curriculum does not include the development of basic Information Communications
Technology (ICT) competence as fundamental learning. Students who do not pass a basic ICT
competency test will be required to attend compulsory ICT skills workshops
• Students do the academic majors with other faculties therefore the content is not reflected in the
presentation. The home department principle applies that other faculties take full responsibility
for the modules. However the learning support specializations and the Technology related majors
are offered by the Faculty of Education and are included in this presentation.
