Every person (also the learner) has a need to fulfill his full potential. To be successful in fulfilling one's potential, the learner needs the accompaniment of an adult, as no person can reach selfactualisation without this accompaniment. The way in which the adult (parent) accompanies the learner, is of utmost importance. If the parent commits an educational error by not putting the educational essences into practice, it can lead to intrinsic barriers to learning, which manifests as learning problems, or specific educational needs, in a learner. Research was conducted to determine the accompaniment role of parents with children who experience barriers to learning, in Grade 4 - 7, in the Vanderbijlpark district. The aim was to determine the extent to which parents apply the educational essences to their children (learners) who experience barriers to learning. The main conclusion from the research is that the majority of parents do apply some of the educational essences. It is clear however that some parents omit I neglect to put the educational essences into practice, or make errors in educating their children. Recommendations are offered with regard to ways in which parents can apply the educational essences to their children (learners) who experience barriers to learning as well as towards further research in this regard. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004

Text in Afrikaans / Deur hierdie ondersoek is gepoog om aan te toon dat die inkkladmetode as uitvloeisel van die Rorschach, as projeksietegniek, gebruik kan word vir diagnose en terapie. Proj~ksie is 'n belangrike aspek in kinderterapie. Herhaalde gebruik van projeksietegnieke verminder die effektiwiteit daarvan. In haar werk met kinders van verskillende kulture, is gevind dat bulle instaat is om projeksies vanuit inkkladde te maak. Dit het aanleiding gegee tot huidige navorsing. Dit word aanvaar dat deur die gebruik van die inkkladmetode: * inligting wat versamel is deur ander projeksietegnieke, en wat moontlik verlore gegaan het, weer versamel kan word; * inligting aangaande psigiese struktuur van die kind vir diagnose en terapie versamel kan word. Bevindings word geverifieer deur die gebruik van bestaande projeksietegnieke. Twintig leerlinge is gebruik tydens die navorsing. Twee idiografiese studies en eksemplariese snitte is ingesluit. Dit is bevind dat die inkkladmetode as bykomende projeksietegniek effektief in kinderterapie en diagnose gebruik kan word. / This research is aimed at showing that the inkblot method with reference to the Rorschach method - as projective technique, can be applied for diagnosis and therapy. Projection is important in child therapy. Repetative use of projective techniques prejudices the effectivity thereof. In her work with children of different cultures, the researcher found that they were inclined to do projections from their inkblots. This resulted in the present research. Through the use of the inkblot method; * information which was gathered through the use of other projective techniques, and possibly lost, can be gained; * information regarding the psychological structure of the child for diagnosis and therapy, can be gathered. These findings were verified by means of including existing projective techniques. Twenty pupils were involved in two idiographic studies and illustrative examples. It was found that the inkblot method as additional projective technique can be used effectively in child therapy and diagnosis. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Spesialisering in Voorligting)
