Rol van kommunikasie en klaskamerbestuur binne technikonverbandLe Roux, Abraham Stefanus 12 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In hierdie verhandeling is bepaal dat kommunikasie 'n beduidende rol in klaskamerbestuur binne technikonverband vervul. Aan die hand van 'n driepoot-klaskamerbestuursmodel is aangetoon dat 'n aangename klasatmosfeer 'n voorvereiste vir effektiewe beroeps- of loopbaangerigte onderwys is. In die model is daar hoofsaaklik op die rol van kommunikasie in die fisiese, psigologiese en sosiale bestuursareas gekonsentreer. Ten opsigte van die fisiese bestuursarea is die fisiese klasruimte, sowel as die benutting en bestuur daarvan ter bevordering van 'n gunstige leerklimaat, belig. In die psigologiese bestuursarea is veral gefokus op die bevrediging van die student se behoeftes, selfbeeld en 'n dosent se andragogiese kommunikatiewe handelinge. Met betrekking tot die sosiale bestuursarea is bevind dat kommunikatiewe handelinge wat verhoudingstigting bevorder, ook bevorderlik is
vir 'n aangename klasatmosfeer. In die hele proses is kommunikasie die bindende kontinue bestuursfunksie, as't
ware die vuur wat die hele driepoot-klaskamerbestuursmodel aan die gang sit en in stand hou. / In this dissertation it has been determined that communication fulfils a significant role in classroom management at technikons. A tripod classroom management model has been employed to indicate that a pleasant classroom atmosphere is a prerequisite for effective vocational or career orientated teaching. Particular emphasis has been placed on the role of communication in the physical, psychological and social management areas. The physical management area refers to the physical classroom space, its utilization and management in creating a favourable climate for learning. In the psychological management area attention is focused on meeting the student's
needs, his self-image and the teacher's andragogical communicative actions. The communicative actions found in the social management area promote relationships which are also conducive to a favourable classroom climate.
In this whole process communication is the binding management activity which ignites the flame and maintains the impetus in the management function of the tripod classroom management model. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Onderwysbestuur)

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs): a Deweyan critiqueGillham, David Terrence Lenoard January 2017 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Education. Johannesburg, March 2016. / “Free quality education for anyone, anywhere” (Khan, 2012:1) is the proclamation of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) the world over. There can be no denying that such a proclamation is enticing and exciting. It seems to be intuitively correct that the technology and hyper connectivity that defines this postmodern era should also radically change the way in which education is conducted. In my research I seek to test the authenticity and strength of this claim. To do so I have 1) analysed a number of primary texts from the creators of various MOOCs in order to understand their pedagogy (andragogy); 2) synthesised a number of principles of education from two primary texts published by John Dewey in order to create a theoretical framework; and finally 3) utilised said framework to test the MOOCean conception of education. Throughout the research, I also appeal to multiple secondary sources that deal with certain important concepts and content from the most up-to-date perspectives possible. / LG2018

Using mobile phones as interactive learning toolsVan Wyk, Mari. January 2012 (has links)
Thesis (MTech. degree in Business Information Systems.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / This mini-dissertation describes opportunities to use mobile phones as interactive learning tools. Anecdotal evidence shows that almost all undergraduate students at the Tshwane University of Technology have mobile phones, while on the contrary, only a small percentage have access to a personal computer, let alone access to resources. Interaction between the lecturer and the students is low, communication after lecturing hours is difficult and access to additional or just-in-time learning material is limited to hand-outs given during a formal class period. The challenge is that interaction between lecturers and students is limited to formal learning spaces and times, e.g., lecture rooms and laboratories. Nevertheless, learning is not confined to formal spaces and times. In this mini-dissertation the focus is, on how a mobile phone can be used to provide access to learning material, provide last minute or just-in-time information and improve the communication between lecturer and student, outside of the formal class time and space.

Exploring transformative learning within the context of healing and reconciliation : an action research project.Andersen, Ingrid. 12 December 2013 (has links)
Churches have long been important sites of non-formal and informal learning and places of refuge and renewal during times of social upheaval in South Africa. They continue to provide a safe space in which people can be challenged to grow, to change and to heal from past experiences. This
qualitative Living Theory action research study sought to examine my own learnings as a Healing of Memories workshop facilitator in a new process, held in a worship community, that foregrounded the spiritual dimensions of participant learnings. Situated within the paradigm of Critical Social Theory, the research draws primarily on Mezirow’s Theory of Transformative Learning in order to examine healing and reconciliation initiatives that
enable shifts in thinking and opportunities for action through individual perspective transformation. In order to address critique of Mezirow’s tendency to restrict learning to its cognitive dimension, the study draws on Tisdell and Dirkx for a more holistic conceptualisation of transformative
learning that incorporates the affective, somatic, spiritual and cultural aspects of human experience. Learnings were structured in action and reflection phases involving myself initially and then co-facilitators and participants, by means of in-depth individual interviews. The workshops of the Institute for Healing of Memories are an experiential, non-formal adult
education initiative that seeks to provide a space in which personal stories can be told and acknowledged. Situating this Healing of Memories workshop within an existing church community from which all participants were drawn and holding it during the spiritually significant Easter season of renewal enabled their deeper learning through its spiritual dimensions. Viewing this Healing of Memories workshop as a transformative learning process deepened my understanding of it as a curriculum structured to enable perspective transformation through the ten steps identified by
Mezirow. A respectful and compassionate listening space allowed participants to explore options for new roles, relationships and action. Learning to listen actively and to understand emotion and the choices to be made in response to it provided participants with new knowledge and skills. By participating in this process with a holistic understanding of transformative learning and as a practitioner researching my own practice I have grown as an educator, with greater authenticity and humanity in my practice. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.

Higher education as a field of study at historically black colleges and universitiesBarnett, Nicole C. January 2007 (has links)
Higher education as a field of study has an extensive history in the United States of America. However, regrettably, this history has segments working in obscurity. One such segment was the work of graduate programs in the field of higher education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The purpose of this study was to trace the program development of graduate certificate, concentration, and degree programs in the field of higher education at HBCUs. This study was driven by one research question. What is the history of higher education as a field of study at Historically Black Colleges and Universities?This investigation unearthed eight universities confirmed to have held, or currently hold, the nine graduate programs in the field of higher education at HBCUs. The eight universities listed chronologically by inception of their graduate programs in the field of higher education were Tuskegee University (1965), Texas Southern University (1974), Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (1980), Hampton University (1980s), Grambling State University (1986), Tennessee State University (1998), Morgan State University (1998/1999 & 2001), and Jackson State University (2004).This study used a blended research design. A historical organizational case study (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003) and a multi-case study (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003) were blended into what proceeded as a historical organizational multi-case study. Additionally, grounded theory methodology was used to detail what drove the development of those graduate programs in the field of higher education at HBCUs.Findings of the study revealed that graduate program development in the field of higher education at HBCUs generally began with internal and/or external overtures with the purpose of developing a current body of practitioners with specialized knowledge in the areas of student personnel, as managers and higher education leaders. Key individuals were typically recruited to write or initiate the programs with the major market being the immediate geographic area; but as programs developed, their markets expanded. Some of the consequences of delivering these established programs were being both visible and vulnerable, although the programs had an opportunity to serve as resources to their institutions and other communities. / Department of Educational Studies

A critical analysis of social sciences learning materials in the National Professional Diploma in Education at a higher education institution.Pudaruth, Seema. January 2013 (has links)
The key purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how the social science education subject for the intermediate phase of schooling was conceptualised as a distance education learning material and what learning was intended through this learning process.
The process of data collection was presented thematically within three sections. The first section presented data produced through the interview with the author of the learning material for the social science (SS) NPDE module. The second section presented a global analysis of the SS distance learning material. The third section presented a fine-grained analysis of a unit of learning within the history section of the distance learning material for the social science education. The findings of the study revealed that there was an error in the conceptualisation of the social science curriculum as an integration of history and geography. The learning material clearly shows that the construction of the social science distance learning material has clear and distinctive sections of history and geography with no indication of the integration.
This study reveals a lack of alignment between curriculum intentions and the conceptualisation and construction of learning materials to support teacher learning.
The analysis clearly indicated that pedagogical content knowledge development through distance learning material is minimal. On this basis the researcher proposes that should the intention of the learning programme be on developing teaching skills, then the content of learning materials need to be supported by other appropriate forms of learning. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2013.

Student and Staff Perceptions of ‘Being a Student’ in the Nature Conservation Foundation ProgrammeJaffer, Faeeqa January 2014 (has links)
Thesis submitted for the degree
Master of Education
in the Faculty of Education and Social Science
at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology
2014 / ‘Underpreparedness’ of students entering higher education is an issue that many academic institutions in South Africa are currently addressing. These students, who are referred to as ‘underprepared’, are more often than not black students. They are seen as disadvantaged, lacking the skills, knowledge and/or language proficiency to navigate their way to success in higher education. This study seeks to identify students’ understanding of the behaviours they should display in higher education and how this clashes with the expectations of academics. It examines how students try to engage with the institutional discourse and how they try to identify a ‘sense of being’. Qualitative research was used through the administration of essays that students were expected to write, as well as individual face-to-face interviews. The essays and interviews tried to gauge how students perceived themselves as Nature Conservation students. Lecturers were also interviewed so that a comparison could be made between what students perceive and the expectations of academics in higher education. Various themes were identified through the analysis of the student essays and interviews, by using an inductive approach. Through the development of these themes, the gap could be identified between students and lecturers.

Evaluating a Doctoral Program in College and University Teaching: A Single Case StudyKraus, Janine Stillwell 08 1900 (has links)
This study assessed alumni of the College and University Teaching Program at the University of North Texas and how they perceived the training they received. Three hundred sixty alumni holding a college and university teaching degree were surveyed. One hundred forty-two usable questionnaires were returned. A response rate of 39.4 % was achieved. A survey instrument was used to gather alumni perceptions of learning experiences, academics, and professional benefits as a result of earning a doctorate in the major of college and university teaching at the University of North Texas. Alumni were asked their perceptions on the following: 1) the quality of graduate professional education in college and university teaching degree program, 2) whether they thought the goals and objectives of the program were met, and 3) their recommendations regarding the college and university teaching degree program. It is the overall opinion of the alumni that the quality of the graduate education in college and university teaching degree program was high. The majority of alumni indicated that the program should be reinstated and continued and if the program was still available they would recommend it to others.

Retention and Attrition of Doctoral Candidates in Higher EducationMalmberg, Eric D. 12 1900 (has links)
A number of studies have been conducted on the attrition rates of undergraduate and graduate students. However, the body of knowledge concerning attrition for doctoral students, especially those who have attained the level of “all but dissertation” (ABD), is limited. The purpose of this research was to examine retention and attrition factors of doctoral candidates from a typical Higher Education Doctoral Program (Research II Public Institution) who were admitted to candidacy from 1991 through July 2000. Participation of the subject population was limited to those who had attained the level of ABD--those who had previously fulfilled the residency, coursework, foreign language or tool-subject requirements, and successfully completed the comprehensive/qualifying exams. This population included current ABDs, previously attrited ABDs, and graduates of the degree program. The research study was qualitative and intended to identify the effect of specific, predetermined factors that may have influenced or affected the progress of current, previous, and graduated students towards the doctoral degree in higher education. This study obtained responses to questions from the questionnaire/survey instrument concerning factors that affected program completion or attrition. Students had the opportunity to elaborate on factors from their dissertation, advisement, and personal, financial, and employment experiences that affected their ability to complete the program through open-ended question responses. By examining key factors in the doctoral degree experience from the three sample groups (current ABDs, previous ABDs, and graduated Ed.Ds), this study was able to draw some conclusions about doctoral attrition. Reconstructing and comparing the experiences of ABDs from the point of candidacy to the point of attrition or completion of the program determined trends, commonalities, and issues affecting achievement. Results of this study add to the limited research concerning ABD attrition and provide an insight from the student perspective as to the obstacles and support variables in the quest for the doctoral degree.
