‘I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as I was given the opportunity to work with learners … while being guided. The trainer demonstrations with the learners were an excellent idea. This workshop has been a success as I can now see what our learners lack. It made a lot of sense.’ (Metro South, 2009)

The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.

For me the most effective aspect was the basic teaching model.  When I implemented the model I found that my learners were more focussed when I followed the steps of the model.

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

I realized that if one lays down a solid foundation for your learners they will become self-assured and confident human beings.
