Evaluation of student support services at the Namibia University of Science and Technology Centre for Open and Lifelong LearningShikulo, Lukas 06 1900 (has links)
Quality and effective student support service (SSS) is a critical demand in the ever-changing landscape of distance education. It is common knowledge that distance education students need continuous support during their studies in order to cope with academic demands while attending to other key activities. This study set out to evaluate the implementation of SSS at the Namibia University of Science and Technology Centre for Open and Lifelong Learning (NUST COLL) at different regional centres across Namibia. The objectives of the study were to: identify problems and challenges experienced with the current implementation of SSS, determine the needs of the distance students and propose recommendations for the improvement of SSS at the regional centres.
In an attempt to realise the objectives of the study, the study incorporated both quantitative and qualitative research design to collect data, by making use of questionnaires, open-ended questions and interviews. The participants included 8 regional coordinators (RC) who were purposively selected and 109 distance students who were selected through stratified and convenience sampling techniques from seven COLL regional centres.
It was evident from the findings that most students opted for distance education as it allows them to work and study. Furthermore, many students have been studying for many years without getting any qualification. While NUST was providing different SSS, the findings brought to light some challenges such as the shortage of technological tools, understaffed regional centres, and unavailability of support services on weekends and public holidays and lack of collaboration between marker-tutors, lecturers and regional face-to-face tutors. It is proposed that the current model of SSS should be redesigned to respond to challenges facing distance education students at the regional centres. A model for implementation of SSS was developed to pave the way for effective implementation geared towards reducing the dropout rates and increase success rates.
Key terms: Implementation of student support services, technological tools, model for implementation, regional coordinators, academic demands, increase success rates, regional centres, distance education, regional centres, and dropout rates. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.

The role of adult basic education and training programmes in the development of rural black women in the Omusati region in NamibiaNambinga, Selma Tilomalenga 11 1900 (has links)
The study aimed at investigating the role played by ABET programmes in the development of rural black women in the Omusati Region. The study was to determine whether the ABET programmes that are provided in the area are offering relevant education that helps the women of the area in their development.
The research findings indicated that the ABET programmes offered are not providing the relevant skills needed to develop the women participants. The programmes that are offered concentrate on literacy and numeracy, and it seem not to be very effective in making a difference to the women's lives. Women needs skills that can help them generate income to improve their living conditions. The study, in summary, established that the programmes offered by the ABET centres would be more effective if skills training is included to uplift and improve the lives of the participants on a social, economical as well as educational level. / Agriculture, Animal Health and Human Ecology / M.

Ontwikkeling van eksamineringspraktyke in die skole van Suidwes-Afrika / Namibië : 'n histories-opvoedkundige ondersoek en evalueringApril, Roderick Graham 06 1900 (has links)
Eksamineringspraktyke in skole in Namibie is die fokuspunt van hierdie studie.
'n Historiese ondersoek is ingestel na die bree, algemene eksamenstelsels van die verlede.
Op grond van die tekortkominge en gebreke van die Kaaplandse Onderwysdepartement-eksamenstelsel,
is die noodsaaklikheid en wenslikheid van die herbeplanning en verbetering van
die eksamenstelsel uitgelig.
Daar is gefokus op die HIGHERIINl'ERNATIONAL GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF
SECONDARY EDUCATION-eksamenstelsel, ten einde vas te stel of algemene erkende
opvoedkundige beginsels, prosedures en werkswyses tot op datum in die eksamenstelsel vergestalt
is.
'n Uitvloeisel van die bevindings in hierdie studie is dat die huidige eksamenstelsel tekortkominge
weerspieel, maar dat die historiese beperkinge oorbrug kan word
Die afleiding word gemaak dat alle onderwysbelanghebbendes moet saamwerk aan
verbeteringstrategiee ten opsigte van die huidige eksamenstelsel.
Die hoop word uitgespreek dat die hele eksamenstelsel so spoedig moontlik, maar na deeglike beplanning, volledig sal verinheems. / Examination practices in schools in Namibia is the focal point of this study.
An historical research has been done into the general examination systems of the past
On account of the shortcomings and constraints of the Cape Education Deparbnent examination
system, the necessity and desirability of the restructuring and betterment of the examination system
is highlighted.
The emphasis is put on the HIGHER/ INI'ERNATIONAL GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF
SECONDARY EDUCATION to determine whether generally accepted educational principles,
procedures and methods have been embodied in the examination system.
The present Namibian examination system is still insufficient. However, much can be done to
overcome the historical constraints.
The conclusion was reached that each and every stakeholder should work together to devise
strategies for the betterment of the examination system.
The author trusts that the whole examination system will, as soon as possible but after thorough
planning, become totally indigenous. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Historiese Opvoedkunde)
