PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The NPDE is a qualification that has as its purpose the upgrading of currently un- and under-qualified school and technical college educators, with a view to improving the quality of teaching and learning in schools and colleges. The NPDE will provide these educator-learners with the opportunity of becoming fully qualified professionals (REQV 13) It does not have the purpose of providing an alternative access route to an initial educator qualification.

The NPDE will be practice-based, have a strong classroom focus and will equip educators with the foundational, practical and reflexive competences required for further study at NQF Level 6. It will be directed at Foundation, Intermediate and Senior Phase educators, as well as those who teach in the FET band.


Rationale for Qualification

The principal rationale for this qualification is to improve the quality of teaching and learning in General Education and Training (GET) Grades R-9 schools and Further Education and Training (FET) Grades 10-12 (General) and FET colleges. The award of the qualification must rest on the Accredited Provider's judgement that the candidate has indeed improved in respect to their competence and commitment as a professional educator.

According to the Norms and Standards for Educators, previous teacher education certificates, diplomas, higher diplomas and further diplomas will be phased out. There is, however, a large number of currently serving educators who are still in possession of such diplomas and certificates. Provision has been made for some of these educators to improve their existing qualifications via the new framework for professional qualifications for educators in schools (Refer Norms and Standards for Educators, page 26). However, currently serving educators with qualifications classified as REQV 12 or lower need an alternative access route into the new qualifications framework, and the main purpose of the NPDE is to provide such access. It is not available for the purposes of initial teacher education.

The original NPDE (registered by the SAQA Board in October 2000) provides access only for currently serving educators in schooling in the GET phase classified as at REQV 11 and 12. But there are additional currently serving educators who need to be provided with this access route. This revised NPDE replaces the original NPDE (as amended) and now provides access to the following categories of currently serving professionally un- or under-qualified educators:
  • Professionally underqualified Grades R-12 educators classified as REQV 11 or 12;
  • Some professionally unqualified Grades R-12 educators classified as at REQV 10;
  • Professionally un- or under-qualified Grade R teachers or Grade R teachers with professional qualifications not recognized by the Department of Education. (Many of whom are currently being recruited from the informal sector);
  • Professionally un- or under-qualified teachers of technical subjects in FET Grades 10-12 (General), and FET college educators. (Many of whom have qualifications and experience that are the equivalent of a year's post-school education, and, although they receive personal salaries that are equivalent to those for qualified educators with REQV 13, they are not eligible for promotion or for further access to post-professional study.) 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    It is assumed that educators will be able to read, write, speak and understand the language of instruction, and communicate confidently in one other South African language, have at least five years of teaching experience, and the competences developed by a NQF Level 4 qualification. Educators of technical subjects should also be in possession of practical work experience and a trade certificate in their particular field of specialization, eg engineering or business studies or utility services.


    Recognition of prior learning and articulation possibilities

    This qualification may be achieved in part through the recognition of prior learning and experience. Providers are required to develop structured means for the assessment of educator-learners against the exit level outcomes of the qualification. The following RPL requirements apply:
  • In-service educators classified as REQV 10 may be credited with a maximum of 120 credit points through assessment for recognition of prior learning.
  • In-service educators classified as REQV 11 or 12 will automatically be credited with 120 credit points on the basis of their previous professional qualification, and may be credited with a further 120 credit points through assessment for recognition of prior learning.
  • Entrants from other sub-fields (for example, ABET, ECD) may be credited with a maximum of 120 credit points through assessment for recognition of prior learning.

    Integrated Assessment

    In the assessment strategy as a whole, evidence must be demonstrated through a variety of options: case studies, problem-solving assignments, teaching practice in simulated and in situ contexts, portfolios of learning materials, projects, written and oral examinations. Some of these options are more suited to the assessment of foundational competence, rather than practical and reflexive competence.

    However, the final integrated assessment needs to have the following characteristics:
  • It should assess the extent to which learners can teach competently and effectively in South African schools or further education and training institutions.
  • It should measure the extent to which learners have integrated the roles and the knowledge and skills delivered through the different courses/modules that make up the educator development programme.
  • It should be designed in such a way that the seven roles are assessed through the specialism.
  • It should measure applied competence. In other words, it should assess whether learners are able to integrate the ability to perform important teaching activities competently (a practical competence), understand the theoretical basis for these activities (foundational competence), and reflect on and make changes to teaching practices (reflexive competence)

    The assessment criteria and evidence requirements are as follows:

    In a practical teaching and learning situation, a simulated situation, or a situation that combines the practical, the simulated and the written, the learner will:
  • Generate, explore and consider options for appropriate action;
  • Identity the most appropriate course of action in relation to the particular context, topic, learner group, level of learning and resources available;
  • Explain the reasons for that particular selection as well as what was taken into account in making the selection;
  • Perform the identified action, while continuously monitoring and adapting performance as required;
  • Explain the reasons for the performance;
  • Evaluate his/her performance and identify areas for improvement;
  • Reflect on the learning and performance;
  • Develop a plan or strategy for future action that reflects an integration of what has been learnt through reflection. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Together with the Norms and Standards for Educators, as regulated by the Department of Education on 4 February 2000, the SGB has consulted Guidelines for Initial Teacher Education Courses in Scotland from the Scottish Office Education and Industry Department (October 1998). 

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS

    REREGISTRATION HISTORY 
    As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this qualification was Reregistered in 2012; 2015. 

    NOTES 
    This qualification has replaced 'National Professional Diploma: Education', ID 13738, Level 5, Min Credits 240.

    Notes on the procedures followed in developing this submission:
  • Although this qualification is recommended as a replacement for the current NPDE, it incorporates all the key elements of the current NPDE, and no student who has competed, or is registered for, the current NPDE will be in any way disadvantaged.
  • The Revised NPDE took the current NPDE (as registered, and amended) as the basis, and merely introduced additions to make it accessible to, and suitable for, three additional categories of currently serving teachers.
  • Tessa Welch, Martiens Loots and Wally Morrow developed a first draft of the Revised NPDE.
  • That draft was discussed at a formal meeting (2 December 2003) of the DoE Teacher Development Directorate, and amendments were made in the light of comments at this meeting.
  • The Revised draft was discussed at a meeting (19 February 2004) of the (Education) Deans' Forum, and, again amendments were made in the light of comments.
  • The re-revised draft was subsequently discussed at the workshop (24 March 2004) to consider the Evaluation Report on materials used in the current NPDE.
