Module objectives and learning outcomes In this module we cover the basic principles of family law. Owing to the fact that the module is pitched at first-year level, it has been structured to suit the unique educational needs of students still new to this field. The purpose of this module is to teach you the basic principles of family law and to equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies to analyse and solve the most basic and common family-law problems. If you follow the study guide (which contains instructions on how to study the module) properly, work through all the activities in the study guide and answer all the questions at the end of each study unit you ought to have all the skills (set out below in the learning outcomes) that we require of you. This module also serves as excellent background should you later enrol for the module in Advanced Family Law (LPL407±E) which is an elective and which is presented at an advanced level. The learning outcomes for this module are the following: . Recognising the role of family law in everyday life After you have mastered this module, you should firstly be able to recognise the role of family law in everyday life. This requires an understanding of the most pressing and prevalent issues relating to family law that occur within the South African context. You should be able to demonstrate your ability to identify issues related to family law in real or simulated scenarios. In addition, you should be able to interpret and analyse current family-law issues. . Thinking critically and analytically within a contextual framework In the second place, you should have a clear understanding of family law in a variety of contexts. You will therefore have to demonstrate your ability to interpret and explain family-law problems in different contexts, provide an unbiased and balanced perspective on these problems, consider different points of view and critically evaluate them in terms of your knowledge of family law. . Solving family-law problems In the third place, you should be able to use appropriate methods and skills to apply your basic knowledge of family law in a variety of contexts. In order to do this, you will have to demonstrate your ability to Ð find the relevant sources and authorities in the prescribed tutorial matter to help you solve family-law problems v
