An ethnographic exploration of counsellors' experiences of career councelling with studentsKodisang, Tshifhiwa Marylene 10 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this ethnographic study is to explore the following:
1. The counsellors’ experience of the process of career counselling provided to students at a distance learning institution
2. My own experiences of doing counselling with Unisa students.
3. How Holland’s career theory, the social cognitive career theory and the chaos theory of careers could shape the process of career counselling.
The themes that emanated from the stories of six counsellors indicate that they view counselling as a continuous process wherein it is necessary to strike a balance through blended counselling between the needs of individuals versus helping the multitude of anonymous students. In order to facilitate counselling effectively, counsellors need resources and in order to develop these resources they use a diversity of career theories which act as a frame of reference.
Attention is given to the development of career counsellors’ identity and self-confidence and how this impacts on the counsellors’ growth.
The recommendations of this study hold the promise of contributing to the counselling process at the DCCD. / Psychology / D.Litt.et Phil. (Psychology)

Sexual activities at school : teenagers' experiences and social work supportMakhitha, Tshilidzi Stanley 02 1900 (has links)
This research study focuses on the sexual encounters of teenagers. Teenagers do not always have private intimate places of their own and tend to use school grounds, toilets and classrooms to engage in sexual activities. Recently, various newspapers published articles about teen pregnancy and sex on school grounds. The alarming rate of sexual activities at schools among South African teenagers became a driving force for the researcher to investigate this phenomenon. The goal was to develop in-depth understanding of the experiences of teenagers being engaged in sexual activities at school and social work support required.
A qualitative approach was employed following explorative, descriptive and contextual research designs. The study was conducted in the Gauteng province. Semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data. Purposive sampling was utilised. Analysis of data was conducted according to Tesch (cited in Smit, 2002) and Guba's model (cited in Shenton, 2004) was employed for data verification. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Science (Social Work))

The learning area life orientation within outcomes-based educationToddun, Susan 11 1900 (has links)
The introduction of Outcomes-Based Curriculum 2005, has meant that the
learning area of Life Orientation has undergone significant changes. These
changes encompass both the scope of the learning area of Life Orientation,
and the implementation of Life Orientation.
The aim of this investigation has been to examine the implications of
Outcomes-Based Curriculum 2005, for Life Orientation as well as to propose
a method of assisting this implementation. The training of facilitators has met
with mixed results and there is still confusion surrounding Curriculum 2005,
and the learning area of Life Orientation.
The development of an implementation model was therefore proposed and
developed to assist Life Orientation facilitators to make the transition from a
theoretical understanding to the practical implementation. The results of the
study determined that the facilitators were overwhelmingly in support of the
implementation model. They found it provided a logical and comprehensive
framework, which would be helpful in assisting them with planning their
learning programmes. In order to understand more fully the effectiveness of
the implementation model in the classroom reality, it will however be
necessary to undertake a study over a longer term with participating
facilitators.
A number of other issues also were investigated as part of this study. From
this it was determined that facilitators feel they require more training to
implement an Outcomes-Based appro'ach particularly with regard to
assessment. Facilitators have also not yet fully understood what constitutes
the learning area of Life Orientation, nor their tasks as a facilitator. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

The relationship between adolescent depressive symptomology and substance abuseBlore, Lynda Gail 31 October 2002 (has links)
This study examines the relationship between adolescent depressive
symptomology and substance abuse. From a literature study six hypotheses
were developed. A quantitative empirical study, undertaken in a South
African high school, investigated the level of adolescent depressiVe
symptomology and substance abuse, as well as the relationship between the
two. The influence of various moderator variables was also examined.
In line with most international studies, the relationship between adolescent
depressive symptomotogy and substance abuse was found to be significant.
This research has shown that adolescent depressive symptomology is
significantly and positively correlated with earlier age at onset of substance
abuse as well as frequency of usage. There appear to be gender differences
in the way adolescents deal with their depression in terms of substance
abuse. In addition, risk factors for depression and substance abuse were
confirmed. Recommendations have been made based on these results / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

The relationship between a disadvantaged home environment and the self-concept of children : a guidance and counselling perspectiveMagano, Meahabo Dinah 06 1900 (has links)
The escalating figures of unemployment and poverty in South Africa are posing a threat to the nuclear family. The deteriorating conditions in the home environment, particularly regarding material provision, has led to an increase in disadvantaged home environments. The investigation in this study focused mainly on the self-concepts of adolescents from disadvantaged home environments. The aim of the research was to see how the home environment influences the self-concept of an adolescent in disadvantaged areas.
The literature study showed that factors such as unemployment, poverty, low socio-economic background, single parenthood, absent parents, parents' level of literacy and parenting styles were associated with disadvantaged home environments. With regard to the self-concept the researcher probed the physical, emotional, social, academic and general self-concepts.
An empirical investigation was undertaken regarding grade 9 and 11 learners in Hebron in the North West Province. A structured questionnaire was developed focusing on home environment and self-concept.
By using Pearson's correlation, ANOVA and Tukey's t-test, findings indicated that there is a significant relationship between home environment and the self-concept. The adolescent's emotional self-concept is affected by religion, supervision at home (parent or guardian) and the number of siblings in the family. Moreover, girls had a better social self-concept than boys. On the whole the physical, academic, social and general self-concepts were not affected by religion, number of siblings in the family and different kinds of supervision. With regard to the physical self-concept it was found that it differed with age.
Therefore, the educators who facilitate Life Orientation in the General Education and Training (GET) band and Life Skills in the Further Education and Training (FET) band should assist children who come from disadvantaged home environments by applying intervention strategies suggested by the researcher in this study to foster positive self-concepts in adolescents. Positive self-concepts are key factors for successful learning, general behavioural patterns and high participation in school activities. Upgrading of educators is also recommended so that they are fully equipped to assist a learner who is from a deprived home environment. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.(Psychology of Education))

Benutting van onderrigtegnieke in maatskaplikewerksupervisie aan voorgraadse studenteFell, Granda Desiré Jacqueline 31 March 2006 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / OPSOMMING
`n Verkennende en beskrywende studie is onderneem om wetenskaplike gefundeerde riglyne ten opsigte van die benutting van onderrigtegnieke vir praktykopleiers beskikbaar te stel vir maatskaplikewerksupervisie aan voorgraadse studente. Om supervisie effektief te kan aanwend, moet praktykopleiers van onderrigtegnieke kennis dra en dit kan aanwend.
Die literatuurstudie fokus op die onderrigfunksie van supervisie en `n klassifikasie en beskrywing van onderrigtegnieke wat binne die supervisieproses aangewend kan word.
Al twee-en-twintig supervisors/praktykopleiers wat betrokke is by gesinsorgorganisa-
sies in die Metropool- en Bolandstreek, Wes-Kaap is betrek. `n Gestruktureerde vraelys is as data-insamelingsmetode benut. Die bevindinge en resultate toon aan dat voortgesette opleiding deur middel van informele opleidingstrategieë van praktykopleiers noodsaaklik is, om hul kennis ten opsigte van die onderrigfunksie van supervisie uit te brei asook die benutting van onderrigtegnieke aan te moedig. Verdere navorsing kan fokus op die benutting van onderrigtegnieke uit die Gestalt- of ander benaderings tydens supervisie.
SUMMARY
An exploratory and descriptive study was undertaken to provide scientifically based guidelines regarding educational techniques used by practical trainers when providing social work supervision to undergraduate students. To apply supervision effectively, practical trainers must have knowledge of educational techniques and be able to apply these.
The literature study focuses on the educational function of supervision and provides a classification and description of educational techniques that can be applied within the supervision process.
The sample included twenty-two supervisors/practical trainers at family welfare organisations in the Metropolitan and Boland regions, Western Cape. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data. The findings and results show that continuing education through informal training strategies by practical trainers is essential to expand their knowledge of the educational function of supervision and to encourage the use of educational techniques. Further research should focus on educational techniques from the Gestalt approach or other approaches. / Social work / M.Diac.
