QUESTION 1
1.1.1 Expository approach
The expository approach in Social Sciences teaching focuses on clear teacher explanation
of content. The teacher presents facts, concepts and ideas in a structured way so that
learners can understand key knowledge. This approach is useful when introducing new
topics such as history events or geographical processes. It allows learners to receive
organised information before engaging in activities. However, it often places learners in a
passive role, as they mainly listen and take notes. In Social Sciences, this method must be
balanced with learner participation to deepen understanding. It works best when combined
with questioning and simple discussions to check understanding and support learning
(TMN3706 Study Guide, 2020; Wassermann, 2017).

1.1.2 Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing Professional Development refers to the ongoing learning that teachers
engage in to improve their knowledge and teaching skills. In Social Sciences, CPD
helps teachers stay updated with new teaching methods, curriculum changes and
content knowledge. It includes workshops, training sessions, peer learning and self
study. Through CPD, teachers can improve how they teach history and geography
by using more effective and learner centred strategies. It also helps teachers reflect
on their own practice and identify areas that need improvement. Strong CPD leads to
better classroom experiences and improved learner performance. It is important for
teachers to take responsibility for their own growth and remain committed to lifelong
learning (TMN3706 Study Guide, 2020; Wassermann, 2017).
1.1.3 Behaviourism
Behaviourism is a learning theory that focuses on observable behaviour and how it is
shaped by the environment. In Social Sciences teaching, it involves using rewards
and correction to guide learner behaviour and learning. Learners respond to stimuli
