Goals of struggles in search of valorization and professional recognition. Recently, the segment of non-teaching staff conquered with the Ministry of Education the creation of the National Policy for the Training of Primary Education Professionals. At the time, the Initial Training Program was created in the Service of Professionals of the Basic Education of Public Education Systems - ProfuncionÃrio, with an offer of four courses of professional technicians, namely: School Feeding, School Infrastructure, School Secretary and Didactic Multimeters. The general objective of this research is to evaluate, based on the perception of the graduates, the contribution of the ProfuncionÃrio program to its training and professional performance, in view of the proposals of the guidelines of said program. In addition, a study of the guidelines of the program and a brief report on the professional of the public basic education, on the vocational technical education in the distance modality and on the ProfuncionÃrio program was carried out. The methodology used included empirical and descriptive research. The study, being a survey, is characterized as being of the survey type, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. The data collection instrument used was the questionnaire composed of open and closed questions that will be analyzed in both quantitative and qualitative perspective. According to the quantitative of respondents and the characteristics of each course, a proportional stratified probabilistic sample was defined. Data from 260 graduates were collected and analyzed, being 22 of School Infrastructure, 30 of Didactic Multimeters, 41 of School Feeding and 167 of School Secretary. The main results show that 78% of the graduates are female, that the predominant age group is 31 to 40 years, that 72% work in municipal public schools and that 54.2% work in the area of the technical course they have completed. With regard to the contributions of the program to the professional training of non-teaching staff, the results obtained show that 95.4% of the graduates recognize themselves as educators, integrating the teaching and learning process. At the time, positive and negative aspects of the program were identified, as well as improvements were suggested. Based on the researched literature and taking into account that the objective of the program is the valuation of non-teaching staff, the results indicate that the program, although it needs small adjustments, is meeting the objective by which it was implemented.

This research is a critical analysis of lifelong learning (LLL) as a strategy for continuous professional development (CPD) of curriculists in the Department of Technical Vocational Education & Training (DTVET) in Botswana. The assumption that formal education will provide the required competencies for the duration of the work cycle is obsolete. The researcher argues that the workplace provides a rich environment for informal, problem-centred learning and that LLL skills are essential tools that enable practitioners to be actively involved in their professional development. The main discussion is within a postmodern paradigm which views learning and development as both a cognitive process as well as a social construct. This view forms the basis for an analytical construct to examine the fundamental question; do practitioners see themselves as observers on the outside, or as active participants, within the experience, having the ability to adapt to changes in the nature of work? The study used a mixed, exploratory design to determine, motivators and barriers to LLL, and the LLL skills practitioners require to perform efficiently in their jobs. The conclusion was that in order to enhance the skills of practitioners to a level consistent with an evolving knowledge economy that continuous development rests on the inclusive principles of LLL, and on the acquisition of LLL skills. Data indicated that these modern day skills are perceived to empower practitioners to, not only manage change, but also to be change agents through the use of information technology, research, self-management, and team work. The fundamental barriers emanating from the research were the lack of support from DTVET management as well as cultural barriers which inhibit self-directed learning. Data from the study were conclusive in showing that LLL was an effective strategy to enhance CPD. Based on the roles, barriers, motivators and LLL skills identified in the research, recommendations are presented along with a conceptual model for LLL as a strategy for CPD. / Adult Basic Education (ABET) / M.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between attitudes towards supervisory support after training and work performance of employees at the Department of Education’s Nkangala District in Mpumalanga during 2008. The sample comprised a complete sampling frame of HR and finance personnel. A five-point Likert scale was used to evaluate the attitudes of respondents towards supervisory support, and their work performance scores were correlated with the ratings of the attitudes towards supervisory support after training. Pearson’s product- moment correlation coefficient (PPM) was used to assess the relationship between the two variables. The results showed no significant relationship between attitudes towards supervisory support and work performance. The ANOVA test found that a significant (p= .016) difference only existed between attitudes towards supervisory support and educational level. The hypothesis stated in this study was therefore rejected. / Human Resource Management / M. Tech. (Human Resource Development)

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of instructional leadership on the culture of teaching and learning in ten rural schools of the Eastern Cape categorised as performing and under performing schools. The research utilises the transformational leadership theory in its theoretical analytical framework as the model for effective leadership. The research argues that principals’ instructional leadership can significantly improve teacher engagement, teacher collaboration and learner performances in the ten rural schools. The study draws on the qualitative research methodology, instruments utilised are interviews of teachers, principals and top education officials within the Buffalo City Municipality. Past matric results of the rural schools under consideration were retrieved from the archives of the National Senior Certificate Results to measure the impact of instructional leadership on the culture of teaching and learning and learners’ performances. The study concludes that there is a relationship between instructional leadership and learners’ outcomes. / Educational Management and Leadership / M. Ed. (Educational Leadership and Management)
