Perceptions of the accelerated Christian education programme as preparation for tertiary educationBaumgardt, Jacqueline 30 November 2006 (has links)
This study seeks to explore aspects of the educational practice of the Accelerated
Christian Education (ACE) programme.
The philosophy (the Christian underpinnings) and pedagogy (mastery learning) of the
ACE programme as contemporary educational practice is examined against a
background of educational reform movements such as outcomes-based education.
In addition, the thesis examines the issue of what it takes for a student to succeed in
tertiary education, investigates the stated claims of the ACE programme in this regard,
and then scrutinises these claims, in an empirical study, that includes ACE graduates,
their parents and university admissions officers.
Finally recommendations are made to those who use the programme in schools
regarding any perceived strengths and/or weaknesses in the programme itself, or in the
management and implementation of the programme, with a view to enhancing the educational experience of high school students preparing to enter the realm of tertiary education. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed.(Educational Management)

The needs of FET learners for personal well-beingMothamaha, Lomile Victorian 28 February 2007 (has links)
Personal well-being is a state that involves feelings and thoughts. This concept is investigated in learning area Life Orientation and integrated in the curriculum as a learning outcome for Further Education and Training learners in grades 10-12. A literature study was done to discuss/clarify dimensions of personal well-being that is general subjective, psychological, social and spiritual well-being and mental health. Perspectives, theories, principles and features pertaining to well-being were investigated from an international and local context. An exploratory study used a qualitative approach to investigate and observe perceptions of a small sample of learners of personal well-being. Data gathering used focus groups which completed structured group work activities. The results indicate that learner participants have needs to be satisfied to reach a sense of personal well-being. Based on findings, recommendations regarding coping strategies, intervention strategies and support were made. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

Challenges faced by secondary school teachers in integrating ICT into the curriculum: a multiple case study in the Grahamstown CircuitMaholwana-Sotashe, Nikiwe Laura January 2008 (has links)
The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the curriculum has become the major issue worldwide. The education system does not only pursue the integration of ICT into the curriculum because of its popularity in the market system, but because of the role it is perceived to play in the changing curriculum (encourages active construction of knowledge). According to White Paper 7 e-Education policy (2004:17) every South African learner should be able to use ICTs confidently and creatively to develop the skills and knowledge they need to achieve personal goals and to be full participants in the global community by 2013. The central role played by teachers in teaching and learning requires them to have a holistic understanding of ICT integration. Furthermore they should be able to analyse when ICT integration is appropriate according to what is expected from the learner in the teaching and learning process. Drawing on the evidence from a survey of nine secondary schools in the Grahamstown Circuit of the Eastern Cape, this study examines how teachers from three different types of secondary schools: Former Department of Education (FDET) schools, Former House of Representatives (FHOR) schools and Former Model C (FMC) schools perceive the integration of ICTs in the curriculum. The salient ideas of how teachers perceive the integration of ICTs into the curriculum emerge from what they view as benefits of using ICT and what they view as challenges of integrating ICT into the curriculum. Contrary to expectations, the degree of ICT integration within the curriculum did not correspond directly with the availability of sufficient hardware, software or Internet connectivity at the participating schools.

Educators' conceptualisation of implementation of Curriculum and assessment policy statement at grade nine in Kwazulu-Natal, South AfricaZulu, Muzonjani Zacharia 01 1900 (has links)
This study sought to investigate how teachers in Grade 9 conceptualize and implement the Natural Science Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) in KwaZulu Natal. In South Africa, there have been major curriculum changes since the dawn of democracy in 1994. These changes have been criticized by various stakeholders in the education sector, including unions, parents and teachers. Since 1994, the curriculum has been revised constantly to address the concerns raised by the society. This study therefore sought to develop an understanding of what influences educators in their endeavors to implement Natural Science CAPS in Grade 9 classrooms. The study further aimed at understanding, from the educators’ perspectives, how policy implementation challenges their traditional ways of teaching and learning.
This study adopted a qualitative research design. Focus groups interviews, observations and documentary analysis were used as method of data collection to answer the research questions. Purposive sampling was used to select 9 teachers from six different schools in three districts in the Province of KwaZulu Natal (KZN), namely Zululand, uThungulu and uMzinyathi to participate in the study.
The findings reveal that the participants are knowledgeable about the CAPS principles and they all use prescribed principles in their planning, albeit in different ways.The study reveals that workshops and in-service training organized by the Department of Basic Education were useful in preparing teachers to implement CAPS even though the period of training was insufficient. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.

Developing a framework for the effective structuring and implementation of entrepreneurship education in Consumer StudiesDu Toit, Adri 06 1900 (has links)
Entrepreneurship education can contribute beneficially to learners’ schooling and should be structured and implemented (within programmes or curricula) to facilitate these benefits. In the South African secondary school curriculum, only Consumer Studies includes significant entrepreneurship education. Despite this potential of Consumer Studies, entrepreneurship education benefits do not always reach learners, due to underprepared teachers and the ineffective implementation of the curriculum. The study aimed to explore how and to what extent entrepreneurship education is embedded in the
intended and enacted curriculum for Consumer Studies, with the purpose of proposing a framework to provide guidance to teachers for the effective structuring and implementation of entrepreneurship education in Consumer Studies. A multi-phase sequential exploratory and descriptive mixed-methods research design, rooted in constructivism, was used. Document analysis, an online survey and focus group interviews were used for data collection. Initially, entrepreneurship education in the overall South African secondary school curriculum was explored. Subsequently, entrepreneurship education in the Consumer Studies curriculum was focused on,
investigating (a) the potential value it contributes to the subject, (b) the extent to which the curriculum is structured to support trepreneurship education, and (c) how teachers implement it in practice. Phase 3 identified best practice for entrepreneurship education internationally, which was compared to the findings from the previous two phases. Based on the previous findings, a framework for the effective structuring and implementation of entrepreneurship education in Consumer Studies, was ultimately proposed. It was apparent from the findings that entrepreneurship education only appears infrequently,
unstructured and in isolated subjects in South Africa. Furthermore, even though Consumer Studies has great potential to contribute value to learners’ lives and is well structured to support constructivist entrepreneurship education, it transpired that this potential does not always reach learners, owing to the ineffective structuring and
implementation of the curriculum. This study revealed the dearth of well-structured entrepreneurship education as part of the South African secondary school curriculum, with the exception of Consumer Studies. We anticipate that the framework will enhance teachers’ implementation of entrepreneurship education in Consumer Studies, which should augment the benefits thereof for learners. / Summary in English, Xhosa and Zulu / Thuto ya bogwebi e ka tshwaela ka tsela e e mosola mo go ithuteng ga morutwana mme e tshwanetse go rulaganngwa le go diragadiwa (mo mananeong gongwe kharikhulamo) go gokaganya dipoelo tseno.

Physical science activities and skills development in the school curriculum of NamibiaMkandawire, Myness 08 1900 (has links)
Grade 12 learners in one Namibian secondary school participated in a study
of science process skills implied in their International General Certificate of
Secondary Education (IGCSE) physical science syllabus. The study aimed at
finding out learners’ ability to identify science process skills in their physical
science syllabus, criteria used to identify skills and whether any relationship
existed between learners’ achievement in performing skills and learners’
ability in identifying the skills. Four physical science syllabus topics were
taught. Learners performed and identified science process skills in learning
and assessment tasks. A One Group Pretest-Posttest research design was
used in a combined qualitative and quantitative research method. Data
revealed that learners identified science process skills. Science processes
performed during learning experiences were used as criteria to confirm
presence of the skills. Learners’ achievement increased in performing and
identifying science process skills after intervention activities. There seemed
no relationship between learners’ achievement in performing and learners’
ability in identifying science process skills. / Science and Technology Education / M. Ed. (Natural Science Education)

Evaluating the impact of the principles of the National curriculum statement on grade 10 Life OrientationSkosana, Petrus Sizani 11 1900 (has links)
Effective implementation of the principles of the National curriculum Statement (NCS) for Life Orientation has various requirements. Thus, with a specific focus on Life Orientation in grade 10, the study aimed at investigating various issues around the implementation of these principles. To this end, a mixed-methods approach was used. In the quantitative phase, questionnaires were used. In the qualitative phase, focus groups and interviews were used to collect data. Similar questions were asked in both phases. The sample was a group of 48 Life Orientation teachers from 48 secondary schools in the Gauteng West district. Ethical issues were considered. Techniques to ensure validity and reliability were also taken into account.
The results showed that, in general:
• the introduction of the NCS in Life Orientation had resulted in too much paperwork and administration for the teachers;
• the principles of the NCS had not helped to transform education from the apartheid era system of education to the present democratic system of education;
• the teachers were poorly trained with regard to implementing the principles of the NCS in the sense that there were not enough workshops and follow-up support provided;
• the principles of the NCS were not implemented at schools, among others because there were problems with the distribution of policies to the teachers via the school management;
• the implementation of the principles of the NCS did not make the envisaged impact on learner attitudes since the attitudes of many learners were often negative;
• the implementation of the principles of the NCS did not make the envisaged impact on learner respect for other cultures;
• the principles of the NCS did not have the ideal impact on morals, values and standards; or impact significantly on crime rate, learner pregnancy or disrespect at school; and• the principles of the NCS did not support learners well to acquire life skills.
• However, the principles of the NCS in Life Orientation were more successful with regards to helping address barriers to learning.
In line with the above, recommendations were made and the limitations of the study were pointed out. / Further Teacher Education / D. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)
