Preservice teachers will critically reflect on personal understanding of concepts and developing teacher practice. Emphasis is put on using resources and research based teaching strategies to cater for diverse student needs and providing appropriate learning challenges. The unit promotes confidence, competence and commitment towards effective teaching.
