    (2023) Randela Rudzani Justice
    Life Orientation teaching in the General Education and Training (GET henceforth) band in the Vhembe East District has been a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the pedagogical content knowledge of Life Orientation in the teaching of life skills among learners in the GET band in the Vhembe East District. The study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches, collecting data through questionnaires and face to face interviews. The findings show that teachers must be masters of their subjects for them to be proficient and effective in delivering the content to learners. Life Orientation, if successfully facilitated may influence learners’ lives and redress the social and economic disparity of the post-apartheid era. Life Orientation assists learners to take right decisions when solving problems. The study recommends that teachers should be motivated towards furthering their professional qualifications in Life Orientation teaching.
