Title: Learner participation: An investigation of the role of learner participation in the Natural Sciences Author: 48287180 2013-05-30 Dear Sir Re: Learner Participation: an investigation of the role of learner participation in the Natural Sciences I am currently a Natural Sciences teacher for grades 7-9. I have special interest in the field of Natural Sciences and how to improve learner participation in the classroom. The reason for approaching you is to ask for permission to conduct the study at the school using learners from the school. The proposed research will benefit the school and fellow Natural Science educators. It, therefore, seems appropriate to propose a study on learner participation. I hope to hear from you soon. Yours sincerely 48287180 Learner Participation: an investigation of the role of learner participation in the Natural Sciences INTRODUCTION The lack of learner participation is a problem that the researchers observed to be prevalent in Life Science classes for grade 8 learners. This problem motivated a research study that can help teachers understand why there is a lack of learner participation in a Life Science lesson. With this understanding, possible solutions can be discovered and formulated that can help improve participative learning in the future. The aims of the research study are to determine the necessity of learner participation in any lesson as well as in a Life Science lesson; to investigate the various strategies that promote learner participation and to evaluate whether the strategies used to create participation are effective and appropriate in Life Sciences; to determine whether learning can be successful without learner participation and to
