This document outlines the objectives, content, learning resources, procedures, and reflection for a Practical Research lesson plan for Grade 12 students. The objectives are for students to understand the importance, characteristics, processes, and ethics of research as well as differentiate between quantitative and qualitative research. The content will cover the nature of inquiry and research. Learning resources include textbooks, additional materials, and videos. Procedures include reviewing concepts, presenting examples, group work, discussions, presentations and a short test. The reflection will consider the number of students who achieved mastery and require remediation as well as effective teaching strategies.

Authentic learning tasks

Mpumelelo Prince Mbatha

This document outlines the key characteristics of authentic learning tasks. It provides an example of an authentic task given to a grade 8 technology class in South Africa. The task requires learners to research different energy sources in South Africa, educate their community about renewable energy, and design a wind-powered electric phone charger over a 4-week period. The document then discusses how this task aligns with the main characteristics of authentic tasks, such as being ill-defined, allowing students to examine the task from different perspectives using various resources, encouraging collaboration, and reflecting real-world problems.
