T.; Muropa, B. C.; Mutandwa, E The main idea behind this research work was to come up with a model of students’ supervision that emancipates the student teacher and simultaneously makes the student feel that he/she has a chance given to him to learn how to teach. The study was premised on making the students work collaboratively with the mentor, fellow students, college/university tutors using the “blended model”. The model was tried through a cyclical pre-lesson discussion, observations during the lesson and discussions after the lesson. The method used to operationalize this model was not a straight jacket since the researchers could start from any point in the cycle. It was found out that the blended model to teaching and learning instills self-confidence in the teacher. It urges the student to try out own theories about learning and teaching. The blended model can be adopted as an alternative approach to supervision. Fri, 01 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT https://hdl.handle.net/10646/544 2006-12-01T00:00:00Z
