Implementation of the curriculum and assessment policy statements : challenges and implications for teaching and learningMoodley, Grace 11 1900 (has links)
South African educators have experienced problems understanding and implementing various previous curriculum policies such as Curriculum 2005 and the Revised National Curriculum Statement. These problems have made it necessary for the Department of Basic Education (DBE) to introduce the national Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) in 2012. CAPS was intended to improve teaching and learning, but as with the implementation of any new curriculum it implies the following: The need for educator training; Need for new resources; Change in policy;
An increased workload.
This qualitative study which was conducted at a primary school in the Imfolozi Circuit aimed to determine how CAPS is implemented and its implications on teaching and learning. Data collected from focus group interviews and document analysis revealed that while educators welcomed the introduction of CAPS for its clarity, structure, clear guidelines and time frames however they experienced challenges related to the quality and the amount of training, inadequate resources, increased workload and the impact of rapid pace of the curriculum on teaching and learning. Based on these results recommendations are made for the improvement of the implementation of CAPS. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)

Effects of a Dialogical Argumentation Instructional Model on Grade 10 Learners' Conception of FermentationDiwu, Christopher January 2010 (has links)
<p>The study catered for empirical and metaphysical dimensions of science and IKS. The study employed a quasi-experimental design as well as a qualitative research design. Two cohorts of students from a fictitiously named &ldquo / Culture Secondary School&rdquo / have been used in this study. The list of instruments for data collection were as follows: Conceptions of Fermentation (COF) questionnaire which was used to elicit learners&rsquo / pre- and post-test conceptions of fermentation with special reference to traditional beer or &ldquo / Umqombothi&rdquo / , an Attitudes to Science (ATS) questionnaire which was used to find out the learners&rsquo / worldviews, a Science Achievement Test (SAT) which was used to assess the learners&rsquo / generalised knowledge of fermentation, a classroom observation schedule as well as a focus group interview schedule to gather additional qualitative data. All the instruments were in English with all technical and difficult terms in both English and isiXhosa (the learners&rsquo / home language). Both groups were exposed to Science/IKS-based lessons. The only difference between the two groups was that, the experimental group (E group) was exposed to a Dialogical Argumentation Teaching Model (DAIM) and the comparison group (C group) to a traditional teaching approach. The data gatherred were both analyzed in terms of qualitative and quantitative descriptions.</p>

Entrepreneurskaponderrig vir leerders met leerprobleme / Abraham Stefhanus van der MerweVan der Merwe, Abraham Stephanus January 1999 (has links)
This research investigates the education of entrepreneurship to learners with learning
difficulties. It is important to keep in mind the rights and possibilities of a learner with
learning difficulties. Two entrepreneurship programmes were presented to two different
groups of learners at Oom Paul School.
Learners with learning disabilities can be categorised as poor performers, learners with
behavioural and emotional problems, development problems (for example a language deficit),
as well as learners with permanent disabilities- physically, intellectual and sensorial. An
important part of this research will focus on the discussion on the causes of learning
difficulties and problems of learners.
One of the most important aims in education, especially in teaching learners with learning
difficulties, is to guide learners to become a part of adulthood and the business world as a
responsible and active member of society. Unfortunately, there are many learners who- after
a successful school career seems to get "lost" along the way, because of society's
discrimination.
Several entrepreneurial programmes have been developed and have been implemented with
great success at various schools, with reference in particular to the programmes "Business
Ventures" and "Entrepreneurskap: jou eie besigheid". Above mentioned programmes are
developed for main stream education and are not necessarily suitable for learners with
learning difficulties.
According to literary studies on education on entrepreneurship, this study field is relatively
new in RSA and that no research regarding entrepreneurship education for learners with
learning difficulties has been done.
This research has pointed out that the teaching and education of entrepreneurship to learners
with learning difficulties can be successful with a few adjustments.
The new outcomes-based curriculum for general education and training for further education
is Curriculum 2005. This curriculum is learner centred and is beneficiary for the learner with
disabilities and difficulties. The principles of outcomes-based curriculum (Curriculum 2005)
contribute to the accommodation of all learners in their diversity and needs.
The society is looking forward to the implementation of this new curriculum, due to the fact
that discrimination against learners with learning disabilities/difficulties will no longer be
part of our education. Awareness of entrepreneurship and teaching of entrepreneurship is
part of the eight learning areas and also one of the critical outcomes of Curriculum 2005.
Entrepreneurial awareness can offer a meaningful contribution to solve an essential problem in the RSA. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2000

A qualitative study of the impact of organisational development interventions on the implementation of Outcomes Based EducationRamroop, Renuka Suekiah 30 November 2004 (has links)
Outcomes Based Education (OBE), has been, since its inception, fraught with problems. OBE in its very nature is complex. To fully embrace this method and ensure its success, schools must be able to make the necessary paradigm shift. This can only be achieved when schools receive relevant and empowering training, support and development. In other words, organisational development must be the key words. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of organisational development interventions on the implementation of OBE. The case study method was employed where it was realised that schools that received organisational development interventions, together with Outcomes Based Education, were able to implement this method with greater understanding, skill, and confidence.
The investigation recommends an organisational development design that could be used instead of the cascade model, and provides suggestions on what can be done to ensure a more successful implementation process. / Educational Studies / M. Ed (Education Management)

Effective implementation of school environmental education policies in a school district in GautengDeenanath, Geetha Devi 30 November 2004 (has links)
The main objective of this descriptive research is to determine how effective the implementation of school environmental education policies is and how this can be improved upon. If schools do have an environmental education policy, how successful are they in implementing it. The school environmental education policies provide incentives and frameworks for the development of strategies and action plans which result in the environmental education goals being achieved effectively and efficiently. For the effective implementation of the school environmental education policies within an OBE paradigm, educators need to be knowledgeable, skilled and motivated. Overall, teacher education is probably the biggest challenge to the implementation of the school environmental education policies. This research leads to the recommendations at school level to promote the effective implementation of the school environmental education policies. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

Arbeidsmarkgeoriënteerde kurrikulumkomponent vir graad 7 - 9-leerders binne die bestaande onderwyskurrikulum van Suid-AfrikaVan der Merwe, Abraham Stephanus 31 March 2005 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / A labour market-oriented curriculum component for grade 7 - 9 learners in the existing education curriculum for South Africa could be achieved on the basis of an analysis and synthesis of various curricula by using curriculum components. The aim of the study is to reveal the essence of curriculation in order to bring the outcomes in the curriculum in line with the labour market needs of South Africa.
An appropriate educational curriculum should not only address the high unemployment rate in South Africa, but should also bring about improvements in teaching practice as well as set standards that will be comparable both nationally and internationally.
An analysis of different curricula shows clearly that various relevant theories can lead to the development of a curriculum component. These theories are not necessarily contradictory, but rather attempt to reveal the essentials for teaching and training.
An analysis of the definitions of curricula gives an indication of the teaching possibilities of an appropriate labour market-oriented educational curriculum, whereby such a curriculum can be integrated in a sensible way with teaching practice by using the curriculum components.
This theoretical consideration of different theories, curriculum components and teaching models has found a practical expression in a teaching labour market-oriented curriculum component that could possibly address current teaching and unemployment labour problems in South Africa. / Educational Studies / D.

The role of the school principal in the implementation of outcomes-based education in KwaMashu schoolsMazibuko, Sipho Patrick 28 February 2003 (has links)
The introduction of outcomes-based education in South African schools has changed the roles of all role players. For outcomes-based education to be successfully implemented everyone should fully understand these new roles. Since the principal should ensure that there is effective teaching and learning at school, this study explored his/her role in the implementation of outcomes-based education. This study includes a literature review of instructional leadership and outcomes-based education in South African schools. A qualitative investigation of the role of the school principal in the implementation of outcomes-based education in KwaMashu schools was conducted. Data were analysed, discussed and synthesised. It was found, inter alia that principals and educators do not fully understand the instructional role of the principal in the implementation of outcomes-based education. Lack of training appeared to be the major reason that exacerbates the problem. Based on findings, recommendations for improving the role of the principal were proposed. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

The specific outcomes framework : a tool for learning programme development and implementationPrinsloo, Glynnis Noreen 06 1900 (has links)
Van der Horst, H van R. / With the introduction in 1998 of Outcomes-Based Education in
South Africa, educators will no longer be passive recipients
of a curriculum developed within the ivory towers of a
Department of Education. Curriculum development will be the
task of every educator at the site of delivery. Media articles have painted a gloomy picture of the calibre
of educator expected to manage the demands of Outcomes-Based
Education. The researcher is of the opinion that there are
many dedicated educators willing to accept the historic
nature of the journey which lies ahead of them, and who,
with the adoption of an encouraging, supportive approach to
professional development, will be willing to work with,
adapt, modify and improve the Outcomes-Based curriculum
presented to them. Educators need to assume responsibility for the professional
development of Learning Programmes and the learner support
materials to ensure that learners get to grips with the new
curriculum. This task can be achieved through high-quality
in-service education, training and re-training of educators.
This study describes workshops developed by the researcher
to familiarise the educators with the Specific Outcomes Framework of Curriculum 2005, and to develop an in-depth
understanding of the Specific Outcomes without which, the
educators would be at a loss to develop meaningful Learning
Programmes. Examples of Learning Programmes developed by some of the
participating educators over a period of twelve months
indicate the levels of proficiency attained through close
monitoring and assistance offered by the researcher.
Outcomes-Based Education has been successful where all
involved have taken on the challenge to do their best and as
we collectively strive to improve the standard of education
in South Africa, let us, in the words of Jane Hofmeyer
(Article (b),Sunday Times, 25/10/98), "look forward to the
day when every child as an educational birthright, can claim
access to competent, caring and committed teachers and
schools that are organised for success." / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed. (Didactics)
