Module 7 1 Terminology: open plan presentation
Tere are different types of open plan presentation. In this module, two types will be discussed. Tese two types are mainly used in the Western Cape, but also in the other provinces.
Open plan presentation can mean that: 1. All the children are accommodated in one hall or large room. Tere are a few educarers, depending on the number of the children. Te children move from activity to activity in the hall/room and an educarer is in charge of each activity.
2. Te other method of open plan presentation is that one or two activities are presented per room. Te children rotate and each of the educarers stays in each room.
2. Values (advantages and disadvantages)
2.1 Open plan presentation in a hall/large room Advantages: Te Educarers can see everybody simultaneously. Everybody is together for security reasons. All activities take place at the same time. It saves space. One professional person or trained person can be employed to be in charge of the other staff that is not trained.
It saves money. Fewer educational toys can be bought, because the children rotate from area to area.
Disadvantages: It can be noisy and disturbing. Tere is more continuous movement. Te atmosphere tends to be more restless. Children’s attention can be distracted. If the hall may be used for other activities, e.g. church, everything must be packed away for other functions.
Educarers may be inhibited, because other educarers can hear and see them. Discipline may be difficult, because of all the noise and movement. If the noise level is high, it can force children and educarers to shout to make sure that they can be heard.
A very high noise level can also damage the child and the educarer’s hearing. 2.2 Open plan presentation – rotating from room to room
Advantages: Te children are being exposed to working with different educarers. Te educarer can be used in the field that he/she is best qualified or talented for. Example, she is very good musically and can present the music rings and another educarer will do the physical rings.
