DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mark Herbert (University of the Western Cape)\nThis 
 paper addresses what has been done in the Science Faculty at the Universit
 y of the Western Cape (UWC). The Extended Curriculum Programme (ECP) Physi
 cs at UWC centers its focus on giving students access to the studies of th
 e Physical Sciences and improving their success. The paper notes that the 
 incoming students enter university with educational disadvantage backgroun
 ds.  For this reason the ECP Physics has undertaken an initiative to addre
 ss this under-preparedness by aligning with the UWC graduate attributes to
  produce good quality graduates.   \nCentral to addressing the students’
  under-preparedness\, the ECP Physics makes an effort to create a learning
  environment that is conducive to meaningful learning. In this way\, a goo
 d foundation is laid for further studies in Physical Sciences. Students ar
 e oriented as soon as they come in to the Physics classes about their role
  and the lectures role in their learning. In the paper\, discussion on how
  the curriculum\, learning outcomes\, learning activities\, assessments of
  the learning activities and the research into teaching and learning are a
 ligned to the graduate attributes. \nData will be collected through a surv
 ey questionnaire about how the past and the current students perceive the 
 ECP Physics learning environment and what their experiences are. The chall
 enges that come across throughout the Physics course will be presented and
  discussed in depth.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/7/contributions/5
