, Question 1
1.1. Science is an incredible way of knowing what’s all around you. Without science you wouldn’t
know how the waves in the ocean are created. You wouldn’t know that the planets revolve
around the sun because we would still believe that the Earth is in the middle of the solar
system. Science is involved in your everyday life. Mathematics and Science come hand in
hand with each other. But knowing one extremely well will help you out in the other. Math, you
are always using equations to solve for certain things. When I was in 6th grade, my class went
on a field trip to an interactive exhibit. It tested us on skill and teamwork. We would simulate
being in the International Space Station and the other group would be at mission control next
door. We were able to get complete the mission quicker than any other class that’s been there.
This exciting experience taught me patience, persistence, teamwork, and focus.
Walking down the hallway to computer class excited me and made me a little anxious. The
world of technology was slowly opening up to me. It was the year I took my first computer
class. I learned how to push a button to start the computer, open up a program, and type. It
was interesting, but my fear that I would accidentally hit the wrong key and make the computer
crash overshadowed my ability to enjoy it. I would have to learn to conquer that fear, as digital
technology became a part of my every-day life. Computers became more common around
school as I got older. In fifth grade, there was actually one computer in the classroom. I rarely
practiced it, except if the teachers made us do an exercise using it. I picked up the skill more
readily when I discovered the Internet.
1.2. The teacher competencies:
a) Classroom Interaction = Teachers must be able to positively interact with all learners. This
includes difficult fast learners, slow learners and learners with special needs. Teachers must
put aside their prejudices and feelings in order to be able to treat all learners with respect,
provide them with equal opportunities for learning and make them feel confident.
b) Knowledge of learners and school environment = The teacher’s knowledge of his/her learners
and school environment is crucial for creating a safe, high-quality learning environment.
Teachers must set high expectations for learner performance and behavior. All rules must be
