Group dynamics in the primary schoolUnknown Date (has links)
The need for successful grouping of children in the primary school has been personally felt by the writer of this paper many times in her own classroom. In the years that have passed, some groups have seemed to progress quite satisfactorily in total development, while others have seemed disappointingly slow. Some groups have worked in almost perfect harmony while others have been in conflict. What dynamics were at work that contributed to successful grouping? What forces had retarded desirable growth? Much has been written recently about successful grouping of children. Enlightening evidences of good grouping practices have been reported. While some actual research studies have been conducted, most of the literature sampled reported opinions or individual suggestions for practice. The plan for this paper is to summarize the literature reviewed in the light of grouping according to the needs of children. / "A Paper." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: W.

The social development of the home educated learner in the primary school phaseMearns, Stephanie 01 January 2002 (has links)
The purpose of this research study was to investigate the need parents who are home schooling may have for knowledge and assistance to enhance the social development of their children. Findings from an initial investigation into the literature indicated that peer relations and extra-curricular activities may provide opportunities for socialization in children. Informal rating scales measuring social developmental trends and relationships with others were used to obtain data from parents and children regarding the social development of the children. Furthermore, data were obtained during focus group and individual interviews, from questionnaires and children's drawings. Results from the literature study and empirical investigation resulted in a body of knowledge that would assist home schooling parents to provide opportunities for the adequate social development of their children. It can be concluded that home schooled children would find interaction with peers and participation in extra-curricular activities beneficial for their social development. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

The impact of selected home environment factors on primary school learner's academic performance : a case studyNell, Sunet 19 June 2018 (has links)
English text with English, Northern Sotho and Afrikaans summaries / South Africa has a long and troubled educational history, from pre-colonial education to the fall of apartheid, and eventually the acquisition of equal education for all (Christie, 2006). Many changes took place during this transitional period in the democracy and liberation of the New South Africa by means of pupil-centred classrooms, Curriculum 2005 (Taylor, 1995) and Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). Although numerous studies have been conducted internationally and in South Africa on underperforming in schools, the focus of this study is to ascertain the key elements of why learners underperform. The study’s aim is to determine the influence of a learner’s socio-economic situation on scholastic performance with references to nutrition, family structure, and parental support of learners in primary schools in Tshwane.
In this full dissertation, the researcher found that most of the selected home environmental factors had no significant impact on the selected learners. It was, however, found (as many research already proved) that diet and sleep did have an influence on primary school learner academic performance.
In presenting this argument, the theoretical framework, socio-constructivism learning theory, and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, were used, as socio-constructivism states that although biological factors are a requirement for basic development to emerge, socio-cultural factors are crucial for basic natural processes to develop. Vygotsky’s socio constructivism theory indicates the uniqueness of the social environment and regards socio-cultural background as the primary and determining factor in the development of higher forms of human mental activity such as voluntary attention, intentional memory, logical thought, planning, and problem solving.
In conjunction with Vygotsky, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs sets the foundation for this study as it states that in order for a being to move to the next level, the lower level of needs, need to be satisfied first.
The objectives of the study were: - to determine what the impact of selected home environment factors on primary school learners’ academic performance is. To determine the relationship between poverty, family structure, and scholastic performance; to determine the influence of the type of dwelling on scholastic performance; to determine the influence nutrition have on a learners’ scholastic performance; and to determine the influence sleep deprivation has on learners’ academic performance.
The study used a quantitative approach, and the method included questionnaires that learners in Grade 5, Grade 6, and Grade 7 of the selected school completed anonymously.
The study revealed that poverty, family structure, and dwelling type did not have a significant impact on the learners of the selected school. The study did however reveal and confirmed what various other researchers have already found that sleep and nutrition did have an influence on academic performance.
It is recommended that specific guidelines should be provided to parents about economical lunchbox ideas. Parents should be supplied with lists of foods best to pack in lunchboxes and food that is not allowed. Schools should further monitor the food provided at tuck shops, as the food provided should be nutritious as well as sustain learners’ energy. Food high in saturated fats and sugar should not be allowed at school tuck shops. Children should also be educated about nutrition and better or alternative choices they can make.
Lunches that are supplied as part of the school nutrition program should be monitored to ensure that it is nutritious, low in sodium, and that a variety of fruit and vegetables are included in the meal.
Studies have concluded that children should sleep on average nine hours per night. Unfortunately, due to increase in academic pressure and work load, more learners go to bed later. It is therefore recommended that schools adhere to guidelines on the amount of homework given to learners daily. It is further recommended that parents should ensure that their children have a set routine regarding sleep patterns. The use of electronic equipment, such as television, computers, and cellular phones prior to sleeping time should be limited as it affects sleep.
Surprisingly, this study has also revealed that some of the data supplied to the school by the parents or guardians and the data that was obtained from the learners did not correlate. It is therefore recommended that schools should be more scrupulous with learner performance data as it could be a possible indicator of household problems or the quality of education. If it is found that the decline is due to quality of education, the school management team should act immediately to assist the necessary educators with the necessary skills to enable better quality of education.
A pro-active plan of action should be put in place by the school for those learners whose marks decreased. An educator could talk to the learner and the parents to try and determine the possible causes for the decrease in marks. Remedial classes or remedial exercises should be given to the learners to assist in the areas of need. In addition, if it is determined that the cause is due to home environment factors then necessary assistance should be provided either by the school or other entities. / Afrika Borwa e na le histori ya thuto ye telele gape ya mathata, go tloga go thuto ya pele ga bokoloni go ya go go fedišwa ga kgatelelo le go hwetša mafelelong thuto ya go lekana go bohle (Christie, 2006).

Baie veranderinge het gedurende hierdie oorgangsperiode in die demokrasie en bevryding van die Nuwe Suid-Afrika plaasgevind deur middel van leerdergesentreerde klaskamers, Kurrikulum 2005 (Taylor, 1995) en die Kurrikulum- en Assesseringsbeleidsverklaring (KABV). Hoewel talle studies oor onderprestasie in skole internasionaal en in Suid-Afrika uitgevoer is, is die fokus van hierdie studie om die kernfaktore vas te stel wat tot onderprestasie van leerders lei. Die studie het ten doel om die invloed van ’n leerder se sosioëkonomiese situasie op skolastiese prestasie te bepaal met verwysing na voeding, gesinstruktuur en ouerondersteuning van leerders in primêre skole in Tshwane.
In hierdie volledige proefskrif het die navorser bevind dat die meeste geselekteerde tuisomgewingfaktore geen beduidende uitwerking op die geselekteerde leerders gehad het nie. Daar is egter bevind (soos deur baie navorsers bewys is) dat dieet en slaap wel ʼn invloed op primêreskoolleerders se akademiese prestasie gehad het.
In die aanbieding van hierdie argument is die teoretiese raamwerk, sosiaal-konstruktivistiese leerteorie en Maslow se behoeftehiërargie gebruik. Sosiaalkonstruktivisme bepaal dat, hoewel biologiese faktore ’n vereiste is sodat basiese ontwikkeling kan plaasvind, sosiaalkulturele faktore deurslaggewend vir die ontwikkeling van basiese natuurlike prosesse is. Vygotsky se teorie oor sosiaalkonstruktivisme dui op die uniekheid van die sosiale omgewing en beskou die sosiaalkulturele agtergrond as die primêre en bepalende faktor in die ontwikkeling van hoër vorms van menslike verstandelike aktiwiteit, soos vrywillige aandag, intensionele geheue, logiese denke, beplanning en probleemoplossing.
Tesame met Vygotsky, maak Maslow se behoeftehiërargie die grondslag van hierdie studie uit, aangesien dit bepaal dat, ten einde na die volgende vlak te beweeg, ’n mens se laer vlak van behoeftes eers bevredig moet word.
Die doelwitte van die studie was om die volgende te bepaal: watter uitwerking geselekteerde tuisomgewingfaktore op primêreskoolleerders se akademiese prestasie het; die verhouding tussen armoede, gesinstruktuur en skolastiese prestasie; die invloed van die tipe woning op skolastiese prestasie; die invloed wat voeding op ’n leerder se skolastiese prestasie het; en die invloed wat slaapontneming op ’n leerder se akademiese prestasie het.
Die studie het ’n kwantitatiewe benadering gebruik, en die metode het vraelyste ingesluit wat leerders in Graad 5, Graad 6 en Graad 7 van die geselekteerde skool anoniem voltooi het.
Die studie het aan die lig gebring dat armoede, gesinstruktuur en tipe woning nie ’n beduidende uitwerking op die leerders van die geselekteerde skool gehad het nie. Die studie het egter wel aan die lig gebring en bevestig wat verskeie ander navorsers reeds bevind het: dat slaap en voeding ʼn invloed op akademiese prestasie het.
Daar word aanbeveel dat spesifieke riglyne oor ekonomiese kosblik-idees aan ouers verskaf moet word. Ouers behoort voorsien te word van lyste van die beste kossoorte om in kosblikke te pak, en kossoorte wat nie toegelaat word nie. Skole behoort voorts die kos te monitor wat by snoepwinkels te koop aangebied word, aangesien sodanige kos voedsaam moet wees en leerders se energie moet volhou. Kos wat ryk aan versadigde vette en suiker is, behoort nie by skoolsnoepwinkels toegelaat te word nie. Daarbenewens behoort kinders opgevoed te word oor voeding en beter of alternatiewe keuses wat hulle kan maak.
Middagetes wat as deel van die skoolvoedingsprogram voorsien word, moet gemonitor word om te verseker dat hulle voedsaam en laag in sout is, en dat ’n verskeidenheid vrugte en groente by die maaltyd ingesluit word.
Studies het tot die slotsom gekom dat kinders gemiddeld nege uur per nag behoort te slaap. Ongelukkig, weens ʼn toename in akademiese druk en werklading, gaan al hoe meer leerders later slaap. Daar word dus aanbeveel dat skole riglyne nakom rakende die hoeveelheid huiswerk wat daagliks aan leerders gegee word. Daar word verder aanbeveel dat ouers moet verseker dat hul kinders ’n vaste slaaproetine het. Die gebruik van elektroniese toerusting, soos televisie, rekenaars en selfone voor slaaptyd, behoort beperk te word omdat dit slaap beïnvloed.
Dit is verrassend dat die studie ook aan die lig gebring het dat sommige van die data wat deur die ouers of voogde aan die skool verskaf is en die data wat van die leerders bekom is, nie ooreengestem het nie. Daar word dus aanbeveel dat skole meer nougeset met leerderprestasiedata moet omgaan, aangesien dit ’n moontlike aanwyser van huishoudelike probleme of die gehalte van onderwys kan wees. Indien daar bevind word dat die afname as gevolg van die gehalte van onderwys is, moet die skoolbestuurspan onmiddellik optree om opvoeders te help om die nodige vaardighede te verwerf om ’n beter gehalte onderwys moontlik te maak.
Die skool behoort ’n proaktiewe plan van aksie in werking te stel vir daardie leerders wie se punte gedaal het. ʼn Opvoeder kan met die leerder en die ouers gesels en probeer vasstel wat die moontlike oorsake vir die daling in punte is. Remediërende klasse of remediërende oefeninge behoort aan die leerders gegee te word om met die behoefteareas te help. Daarbenewens, indien vasgestel word dat die oorsaak tuisomgewingfaktore is, behoort die nodige bystand gegee te word, hetsy deur die skool of ander entiteite. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.
