Project Oriented Learning as teaching methodology

The new Education Act stated that outcomes based education (OBE) have to be introduced,
not only in schools, but also on tertiary level. Technikon Northern Gauteng embarked on
Project Oriented Learning (POL) as a teaching methodology for OBE.
Project Oriented Learning is a teaching methodology where a group of learners,
independently, works on a real life problem or question. The problem is analyzed, and
according to the specifications given in the task or assignment, the group works to an
outcome.

POL simultaneously supports important objectives of higher education:
• Acquisition of knowledge, which is retained and usable
• Self-directed learning
• Learning to analyze and solve problems

Working in groups (tutorial groups) occupies a central role in POL. The difference between a
tutorial group and a class or lecture is that a tutorial also offers a platform for learners to
exchange knowledge and ideas. To be able to exchange knowledge, communication has to
take place within the group. Learners are expected to ask questions, give opinions or explain

LI 2nd Generation

Ok, so, another year has passed and the second LI generation is about to graduate, and I have mixed feelings about it, because I'm happy for each one of them, I saw them struggling with UANE, with coordinators, with teachers and among themselves, now they are in the summit of their studies, they are about to become Licenciad@s, but at the same time, I'm sad because they will leave a huge void in the school, I will not see them walking in the school anymore, 4 years in my life are a lot, so they will be missed, and they will always be in my mind and in my heart, cheers my Muchachas and Mr Neto¡¡ Be all you can be, and do all you can do

Atte.

LICENCIATURA DE IDIOMAS 2009 THE 1st GENERATION

I want to open this blog congratulating the first UANE "Licenciatura de Idiomas" generation, they all did a great job, overcame great obstacles, from everywhere, the school, the teachers and sometimes even themselves.

Nevertheless, they did it, I wish they can achieve their goals.

I met them more than two years ago and believe me, they were hardworking, achievers, leaders but rebellious and unsupportive among themselves; I think they have grown up a lot, both in the professional and personal way.

They taught me a lot, and therefore, I extend my gratitude to all of them, I hope we can still be part of each others lives.
