The evaluation of a Mandarin Chinese course taught as a foreign language for distance learnersHau-Yoon, Lucia 30 June 2002 (has links)
The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the Mandarin Chinese course taught as a
foreign language for distance learners
through a review of distance education and how it applied in foreign language teaching, a
learning package based on Unisa's Mandarin Chinese 1, a beginners' course, was fully
discussed and demonstrated. An analysis was made of what had been utilised in the learning
package and how each element helped distance learners to develop their language skills.
Based on the course's learning outcomes, learning material, assessments and learning support,
empirical research was done through focus group interviews and questionnaires to test the
effectiveness of the Mandarin course.
Analysis of the results suggested that:
• Students needed to build up a more realistic expectation about learning Chinese.
• Students' workloads needed to be re-examined and re-measured.
• Certain students lacked learner autonomy.
• Mandarin courses should be produced jointly with distance teaching institutions abroad. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Didactics)

Uitkomsgebaseerde assesseringsmodel vir die ontvangsjaarDavin, Reda J. (Reda Johanna) 30 June 2003 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans with summaries in Afrikaans and English / This study addresses the problem of the lack of an assessment model for the reception year that is theoretically grounded and can be implemented in practice by developing an outcomes-based assessment model.
Assessment in an outcomes-based approach moves from an evaluative model to a model designed to appraise the learner's development and learning. Learners are assessed continuously and in an holistic manner by means of multiple methods that are part of the daily facilitation of learning.
Following an introductory orientation (chapter 1), it is indicated that despite the radical transformation in education there are as yet few signs of any direct impact on assessment practices in the reception year. The importance of assessment in an outcomes-based model is firmly rooted in official policies but its implementation in practice is problematic. Assessment in the reception year is also complicated by problems in teaching practice.
The unique nature of outcomes-based teaching is analysed in depth in chapter 2 in order to draw up theoretical guidelines on which to base the assessment model.
The theoretical reflection in chapter 3 provides answers to the question: "Why should assessment take place?" The question is answered after considering the distinctive nature of and main reasons for reception year teaching. In an outcomes-based teaching approach it is particularly important to answer this question because assessment is more than simply evaluating the extent to which demarcated contents have been mastered.
Chapter 4 explores authentic assessment methods that accommodate the unique nature of reception year teaching and an outcomes-based approach. Methods such as parent interviews, portfolios of learners' work and observation by means of incident records, checklists and participation charts are appropriate assessment methods. The points at which assessment information is collected and how it is interpreted and communicated are also examined.
The proposed model, based on the theoretical findings, was presented to experts in the field of early childhood development for their input on its practical implementability. It was found that the model can be implemented in practice, provided in-service training is provided.
The final chapter of the study consists of a summary, findings and recommendations regarding the practical implementation of the assessment model in the reception year. / Educational Studies / D.Ed. (Teacher Education)

New assessment methods in business studies in the FET phaseRussell, Yvette 01 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M. Ed. (Didatics)) / Assessment methods in Business Studies in the FET phase have had to change as a
result of the implementation of OBE and the NSC in South Africa. In order to
analyse how this has affected the education of learners, a case study, based on the
IEB was analysed.
Under the supervision of Umalusi, the IEB has developed new moderation systems
in order to quality assure SBA (School Based Assessment), represented by learners’
portfolios which constitute 25% of the final promotion mark for the NSC. The
guidelines and documentation for these moderation requirements are contained in
the IEB Business Studies SAG (Subject Assessment Guidelines). This document
forms the basis of the case study.The IEB, however, does not work in isolation and through their partnership with the
DoE the experience gained through implementing new assessment methods in
Business Studies as described in this study can be adapted for other subjects or
schools in the public sector.

The role of school managers in the implementation of continuous assessment in the further education and training band in Mopani district, Limpopo provinceRamalepe, Matome Liphy 11 1900 (has links)
This study focuses on the role of school managers in addressing challenges associated with the
implementation of continuous assessment (CASS) in the Further Education and Training (FET)
band in Mopani District. It furthermore investigates to what degree school managers in the
district engage in performing the “traditional” leadership and management roles which create a
conducive atmosphere for the implementation of CASS.
A thorough literature review provides an understanding of the emerging trends and challenges in
the implementation of CASS internationally. Most of these challenges are analogous with those
constraining the implementation of CASS in Mopani District. The data were collected by means
of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires from purposively sampled district educators and
school management teams (SMTs) who came from randomly selected schools. The findings
enumerated the insufficient training for school managers and infrequency of performing
“traditional” leadership and management roles as some of the factors hampering the
implementation of CASS in the district schools. / Educational Studies / M. Ed (Education Management)

The role of teacher understanding in aligning assessment with teaching and learning in Setswana home languageSebate, P. M. (Phaladi Moses), 1956- 27 March 2012 (has links)
The study investigates Setswana Home Language teachers’ conceptions of assessment and assessment standards and determines to what extent teachers ensure that their teaching, learning and assessment practices are aligned. The achievement of the overall aim is facilitated by the achievement of a number of objectives, mentioned under Chapter 1 section 1.5. In order to answer to these questions; namely, How did curriculum changes influence teaching, learning and assessment practices in South Africa?, What does assessment entail and what are the principles of high quality assessment practices?, What is meant by the alignment of teaching, learning and assessment?, Do teachers understand the new approach to assessment and the role of assessment standards in aligning, teaching, learning and assessment?, To what extent do Setswana teachers use assessment standards to align teaching, learning and assessment in Setswana Home Language and what challenges do they face in this regard?, What can be done to help teachers to ensure that their teaching, learning and assessment practices in the teaching of Setswana Home Language are aligned?, the study utilizes qualitative research methodology specifically sampling and the three data collection strategies, namely, interviews, observations and document analysis, to obtain data from the research participants. The research acknowledges the educational changes that have been implemented in South Africa through Curriculum 2005, which was later revised and led to the development of the Revised National Curriculum Statement for Grades R-9 and the National Curriculum Statement for Grades 10-12. The study highlights that the problems with these curricula led to the development of yet another curriculum, namely the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements.

Om effektiwiteit te beoordeel, word evaluering vereis en derhalwe behoort instruksionele evaluering 'n integrale komponent van die instruksionele ontwerpgebeure te
vorm. Die SANW beskik nog nie oor toereikende kundigheid om hierdie komponent tot sy reg te laat kom nie en die doel van die studie was om hierdie leemte aan te vul. Daar is eerstens gepoog om, deur middel van 'n literatuurstudie, die didakties-wetenskaplike basis te bepaal waarop evaluering binne 'n sisteembenadering
tot opleiding behoort te berus. Daarna is die aard en rol van instruksionele evaluering in die instruksionele

Instructional design - an approach that has developed from instructional technology - is used to
establish new courses that facilitate effective training. Evaluation is essential for assessing effectiveness and therefore instructional evaluation should form an integral part of the learning events. The SANDF does not as yet have the expertise to do justice to this component, and the aim of this study was to fill this gap. Firstly, it was attempted to determine, by means of a literature study, the didactic scientific foundation on which evaluation within a systems approach towards training should rest. The nature and role of instructional evaluation in the instructional design system within a military training milieu was subsequently investigated. This was done to
determine what the functions of instructional evaluation comprise and what evaluation tasks should be carried out in the different phases of an instructional design project. The focus of the study then shifted to the numerous
changes that took place since the inception of the SANDF on 26 April 1994, after the first democratic election in the Republic of South Africa. Compared to its predecessor the SANDF has new and more extensive secondary roles that demand higher standards of training and make evaluation a more complicated task This indeed
confirms the need for an evaluation system that is practised according to system principles. Against the background of the afore-mentioned, the design of an overall instructional evaluation system for the SANDF was proceeded with. As the successful implementation and functioning of the system is, to a large extent, influenced by the way in which the instructional evaluator carries out this task, attention was finally given to the design of a
course for instructional evaluators. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed. (Didaktiek)

Factors influencing quality assessment practices in business studies at technical vocational education and training collegesNkalane, Patience Kelebogile 11 1900 (has links)
Technical Vocational Education and Training colleges (formerly known as Further Education and Training colleges) in South Africa have undergone many changes since 1994. In 2007, a new curriculum, the National Certificate Vocational, was rolled out. The new curriculum brought an approach of outcome-based teaching and learning to continuous assessment, with a National Summative Examination set by the National Department of Higher Education Examinations and Assessments, and programme certification conducted by Umalusi (Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education). When the National Certificate Vocational was introduced in 2006, lecturers attended training prior to the implementation of the new curriculum. However the training was inadequate, as it was a once-off; after the implementation of the National Certificate Vocational, new lecturers never received training. Umalusi reports from 2009–2013 stated that the implementation of Internal Continuous Assessment needed attention, highlighting challenges faced by lecturers regarding its implementation. The purpose of the study is to explore the factors that impact on the quality of Internal Continuous Assessment practices in NCV Business Studies. The constant comparison analysis developed by Glaser and Strauss (1967) was used in analysing the data collected during the interviews.
A qualitative research approach was employed, specifically a case-study research design. Purposive sampling was used to select lecturers as participants of this study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Findings revealed that there was lack of standardisation and uniformity in all four campuses, poor-quality assessment tasks were set using old exam papers and textbook exercises, designing of assessment tools was limited to the use of few tools and the colleges gave little attention to the policies and documents regarding implementation of Internal Continuous Assessment. Recommendations have been formulated that may add value or make an educational contribution to the growing body of knowledge by strengthening Internal Continuous Assessment processes and ensuring quality of assessment practices at these colleges, to significantly enhance students’ academic performance, competence and throughput rate. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M.

The congruence of students' expectations and a lecturer's objectives within a South African MBA curriculumHoward-Tripp, Wendy 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / Some digitised pages may appear cut off due to the condition of the original hard copy. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The world of 'business learning' is changing dramatically and business
sc'iools therefore need to respond differently to the demands of the market
place, not only to survive, but to grow as well. To achieve this objective,
feedback from students with regards to a course and lecturer form a part of
the effective management and delivery of educational instruction, as
evaluation of performance provides an important instrument in clarifying goals
and standards and enhancing future performance.
The focus of this study is, therefore, to determine firstly differences in the
perceptions of students with regards to the teaching of Industrial and Social
Relations within the MBA programme at the USB. The relevance of the
research is that differences between students following the four programmes,
namely full-time, part-time, modular English and modular Afrikaans, may
affect their commitment to the subject, which in turn may affect the quality of
the programme.
Secondly, it is also necessary to compare the lecturer's objectives pertaining
to his particular approach and course content, to the perceptions of the
students and to establish the degree of congruence between these.
To test the consistency of the evaluation process, a brief comparison of the
four MBA classes of 2000 as a whole is made with the first class of 2001
completed at the time of writing.
The sample groups were comprised of students who had completed the
course evaluation questionnaire. This was voluntary in nature. The data
collected was interpreted in terms of the Wilcoxan Rank Sum Test within a
framework of fifty-six hypotheses. The hypotheses were formulated from
theories relating to the course and students.
There are however, a number of limitations contained in this study. The
pertinent ones are that the course evaluation questionnaire used is the same
for every course within the MBA programme. No distinction is made between
the different subjects. The validity of the instrument may, therefore, be
impaired and the results not entirely conclusive of students' views. The
questionnaires were also completed unaided and it is possible that students
did not interpret the questions correctly.
This notwithstanding, the research within the parameters of this study points
to some minor differences between the students of the four MBA
programmes. More importantly, however, it identifies a very strong degree of
congruence between the students' perceptions and the lecturer's objectives in
the teaching of Industrial and Social Relations. These results have given the
lecturer, apart from some general 'pointers' on how to improve the course, the
assurance to continue with his present approach to the 'teaching' of Industrial
and Social Relations within the MBA programme at the USB.
This study should be seen merely as a preliminary trial, and all constraints
notwithstanding, it should serve as a starting point for future research. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:
Die wêreld van sakeonderrig verander dramaties en daarom is dit noodsaaklik
dat bestuurskole anders begin optree teenoor die vereistes van die markplek,
nie net om te oorleef nie, maar ook om te groei. Daarom is die terugvoering
van studente met betrekking tot In program en die dosent In deel van die
effektiewe bestuur en aanbieding van opvoedkundige opleiding.
Die evalueringsproses is dus In belangrike instrument om doelstellings en
standaarde te bepaal, en om toekomstige optrede te verbeter.
Eerstens fokus die studie daarop om verskille in die persepsies van studente
te bepaal ten opsigte van die opleiding van Arbeidsbetrekkinge en Sosiale
Verhoudinge in die MBA-program van die USB. Die belangrikheid van dié
navorsing is dat die verskillende studente van die vier MBA-programme,
naamlik Voltyds, Deeltyds, Modulêr (Engels) en Modulêr (tweetalig), en hul
toewyding tot die MBA-program daartoe aanleiding kan gee dat die kwaliteit
van die program beïnvloed word.
Tweedens is dit ook van belang om In vergelyking te tref tussen die doelwitte
met betrekking tot die dosent se benadering en die programinhoud teenoor
die persepsies van die studente, om In graad van analogie tussen dié twee te
bevestig.
Om die betroubaarheid van die evalueringsproses te bevestig, is In kort
vergelyking getref tussen die MBA-klasse van 2000 in sy geheel, met dié van
die eerste voltooide MBA-klas van 2001.
Die vier groepe is saamgestel deur studente wie vrywillig die
programevalueringsvraestel beantwoord het. Die inligting wat ingewin is, is
volgens die Wilcoxan Rank Sum Test in In raamwerk van 56 hipoteses geïnterpreteer. Die hipotese is geformuleer uit teorieë wat op die program en
die studente betrekking het.
Daar is egter 'n aantal beperkings in die studie. Die belangrikste is die
evalueringsvraestel, wat dieselfde is vir elke kursus wat in die MBA-program
aangebied word. Geen onderskeiding is gemaak tussen die verskillende
kursusse nie, en daarom is dit moontlik dat die validiteit van die instrument nie
optimaal is en die resultate nie 'n korrekte aanduiding van studente se
persepsies is nie. Die studente het die vraestelook sonder enige bystand
voltooi, wat moontlik die korrekte interpretasie van vrae kon beïnvloed.
Alhoewel die navorsing op klein verskille tussen die studente van die
onderskeie MBA-programme dui, identifiseer dit 'n sterk graad van analogie
tussen studente se persepsies en die dosent se doelwitte in die onderrig van
Arbeidsbetrekkinge en Sosiale Verhoudinge. Hierdie resultate gee die dosent
nie net algemene riglyne om die program te verbeter nie, maar ook die nodige
versekering om voort te gaan met sy huidige benadering tot die onderrig van
Arbeidsbetrekkinge en Sosiale Verhoudinge op die MBA-program van die
USB.
Hierdie studie moet gesien word as primêre navorsing. Hopelik sal dit as 'n
beginpunt vir toekomstige navorsing dien.

Job evaluation in the provincial government of the Western CapeJohnson, Reginald George Johannes 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA (Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The democratisation of South Africa on 27 April 1994 marked the beginning of a new era
for South Africans in all spheres of society. The new democratic Government of the
Republic of South Africa faced numerous challenges, including the transformation of the
South African Public Service into a non-discriminatory organisation for both citizens and
employees. The pre-1994 South African Public Service functioned as a centralised driven
system that negatively discriminated against non-white employees in terms of financial
rewards resulting in salary differences between white and non-white employees. The
promulgation of the new legislative framework of deconcentration had resulted in the
centralised driven South African Public Service system becoming obsolete as it was
incompatible with the democratic Government’s vision. The transformation of the South
African Public Service was supported through legislation and various directives
simultaneously focusing on service delivery improvement as well as implementing new
internal systems to address discriminatory practices. The implementation of the EQUATE
job evaluation programme within the new legislative framework of deconcentration marked
the beginning of a new era of grading post in the Public Service. It had brought an end to
the unfair salary differentiation in the Public Service.
To render public services effectively and efficiently is a legislative requirement. Political
and administrative leaders are responsible for ensuring that both external and internal
services are rendered optimally through improvement interventions. In the Provincial
Government of the Western Cape (PGWC), the Department of the Premier renders a job
evaluation service to all provincial departments to ensure internal consistency in terms of
grading of posts. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current process of evaluating
posts in the PGWC and subsequently to formulate recommendations to improve the
process. The study concludes with a set of recommendations which include amongst
others the following:
• The devolvement of the job evaluation function to the provincial departments
enabling them to conduct their own departmental job evaluations.
• The creation of a Job Evaluation Unit in every provincial department. • That the proposed Process Model of evaluating posts in the provincial departments
be considered.
• It is the responsibility of the Directorate Organisation Development Interventions in
the Department of the Premier to co-ordinate the job evaluation process in the
Provincial Government of the Western Cape. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die demokratisering van Suid-Afrika op 27 April 1994 was die begin van ‘n nuwe era vir
Suid-Afrikaners op alle vlakke van die samelewing. Die demokratiese Regering van die
Republiek van Suid-Afrika het verskeie probleme in die gesig gestaar wat onder andere
die transformasie van die Suid-Afrikaanse Staatsdiens ingesluit het. Die Staatsdiens moes
verander word na ‘n diens wat nie diskrimineer teen nie-blanke burgers of werknemers nie.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Staatsdiens voor 1994 het gefunksioneer as ‘n gesentraliseerde
sisteem en het negatief gediskrimineer teen nie-blanke werknemers in terme van
besoldigingspakkette wat aanleiding gegee het tot verskille in besoldigingsvlakke. Die
promulgering van die nuwe regulatoriese raamwerk van dekonsentrasie het meegebring
dat die gesentraliseerde benadering in onbruik verval het, omdat dit teenstrydig was met
die visie van ‘n demokratiese Regering. Die transformasie van die Suid-Afrikaanse
Staatsdiens is ondersteun deur verskeie wetgewing en mandate wat gefokus het op sowel
die verbetering van dienslewering aan burgers as die implementering van nuwe interne
sisteme om diskriminerende praktyke aan te spreek. Die implementering van die EQUATE
posevalueringsprogram binne die nuwe regulatoriese raamwerk van dekonsentrasie was
die begin van ‘n nuwe era van posgradering in die Staatsdiens. Dit het ‘n einde gebring
aan die onregverdige besoldigingsvlakke in die Staatsdiens.
Die lewering van doelmatige en doeltreffende openbare dienste is ‘n wetlike vereiste.
Politieke en administratiewe hoofde is daarvoor verantwoordelik om toe te sien dat alle
dienste, intern en ekstern, optimaal gelewer word deur gebruik te maak van verskeie
verbeteringsintervensies. Die Departement van die Premier in die Provinsiale Regering
van die Wes-Kaap (PRWK) is verantwoordelik vir die lewering van die
posevalueringsdiens aan alle provinsiale departemente ten einde konsekwentheid in terme
van posgradering te verseker. Die oogmerk van die studie is om die huidige
posevalueringsproses in die PRWK te evalueer om sodoende aanbevelings te doen om
die proses te verbeter. Die studie is saamgevat met aanbevelings wat onder andere die
volgende insluit:
• Die afwenteling van die posevalueringsfunksie na elke provinsiale departement;
sodat elke departement self verantwoordelik is vir departementele posevaluering.
• Die skepping van ‘n Posevaluering Eenheid binne elke provinsiale departement.
• Die voorgestelde Proses Model vir die evaluering van poste binne provinsiale
departemente oorweeg word.
• Die verantwoordelikheid van die Direktoraat Organisasie Ontwikkeling Intervensies
in die Departement van die Premier vir die koördinering van die
posevalueringsproses binne die Provinsiale Regering van die Wes-Kaap.
