THIS CAN BE BECAUSE…
• IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE ERA/ CENTURY IN WHICH WE ARE LIVING IN
• CONSIDERING THIS WILL HELP THE SOCIETY TO IDENTIFY THE:
• EDUCATIONAL
• INDUSTRIAL &
• SOCIAL ‘GAPS’ / DEM,ANDS
HOWEVER, FOR GRADE 9 LEVEL• ONE NEEDS TO CONSIDER THE LEARNERS’ AGE & EXPERIENCE
• MOSTLY BETWEEN 14 – 16
THIS CAN HELP A TEACHER TO:• KNOW WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN FORMULATING THE LESSON, I.E HOW THEY THINK
• WHAT INTERESTS THEM
• OR EVEN DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES IN THE CLASSROOM
THE TEACHER ALSO NEEDS TO:
• BE ABLE TO FACILITATE TEAM WORK IN THE CLASSROOM
• IDENTIFY THE LEARNERS’ STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
DR. BENNY LIM ALLUDES…

2. YOUR ABILITIES – NATURAL INTELLECTUAL APTITUDE AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES TO PERFORM WELL IN A GIVEN AREA
3. YOUR INTERESTS – TYPE OF WORK THAT HOLDS YOUR INTEREST, MOTIVATES YOU AND KEEPS YOU FULFILLED

4. YOUR TALENTS – YOUR NATURAL GIFTS AND TALENTS, E.G. VOICE, ARTISTIC, ATHLETIC OR PHYSICAL ABILITY
5. YOUR EXPERIENCE – SKILLS/TRADES YOU HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED AND WITH WHICH YOU CAN BUILD UPON IN THE FUTURE
6. YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES – TIME, MONEY, ENERGY YOU HAVE TO PURSUE YOUR DESIRES
MAKE LEARNERS FIND MEANING IN LIFE’S WORK:
