Exploring the access, usage and perceptions of ICT of women in marginalised communities in South AfricaPokpas, Carlynn January 2019 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / The experiences and perceptions of ICT access and usage by women in marginalised South African
communities is sorely under researched. Where information from a gender-based perspective
reflecting potential digital gender disparities exists, it is typically a statistical view of the ICT
landscape (largely reflecting access). Exploration of the complex underlying socio-cultural factors
affecting women’s ICT usage is under-represented. There is an urgent need to hear women’s own
voices and perspectives on such intricate and often obscure subject matter. This research has aimed
to bring traditionally overlooked perspectives to the fore by exploring the experiences and
perceptions of women in marginalised South African communities regarding ICT access and usage.
This qualitative study, guided by a feminist phenomenological perspective, focused on the individual
lived experiences of twelve women living in three marginalised areas of the Western Cape of South
Africa. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analysed through the Interpretative
phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach.
The findings showed that the women had strong attachments to ICT and had integrated it into their
own individual contexts, to fit their needs and activities. ICT had been interwoven into various social,
economic, educational, political, cultural, recreational and spiritual dimensions of life. A range of
factors emerged as having influence on women’s digital participation. Some of the more significant
barriers were digital skills and confidence, poor social support systems, affordability of ICT,
awareness of personally beneficial opportunities, time constraints, resistance from a male partner
and poor literacy. Additionally, the women lived in highly gendered environments, with sociallyconstructed
gender norms, roles and identities, which had a strong influence on digital experiences
and perceptions. This socio-cultural gender inequality was fundamental in the time constraints, and
in the power dynamics and resistance women faced from male partners. Findings indicated that
gender identities and traits disadvantage females in the digital context, for example ideas of
femininity being viewed as conflicting with a perceived ‘dirty’ ICT field. Detrimental perceptions
associating sophisticated ICT activity with males were reportedly prevalent in the communities and
some of the women interviewed subscribed to the essentialist theory which considers men
inherently better suited to technology. These findings have important implications for policies and
practices in view of enhancing the digital inclusion of women in marginalised South African
communities. Recommendations towards this end are outlined, specifically centred on gendersensitive
approaches in the planning and implementation of digital inclusion initiatives.

Exploring the role of information and communication technology on employees' work and family domains / Johannes Willem de WetDe Wet, Johannes Willem January 2015 (has links)
Technology has become part of society’s everyday functions, changing rapidly and providing
widespread mobility. In South Africa alone, the amount of internet users grew from 8,5
million to 24,9 million in only three years (2011-2014). Currently 90% of these users access
this facility from their mobile devices. This statistic illustrates the trend that South Africans
are moving towards a continually connected lifestyle, a situation in which information and
communication technology (ICT) seems to have become omnipresent. Due the rapid growth
of ICT technology and its adoption into people’s lives (both personally and professionally)
the influence of such a phenomenon needed to be investigated to understand its impact on
individuals and society. Thus, the objective of the present research was to explore the role
ICT plays in employees’ work and family domain.
The research followed a qualitative research approach and made use of snowball sampling.
The sample of participants (N=25) were mostly employees from a professional organisation.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data and the interviews were recorded,
transcribed and processed through thematic analyses. The analyses revealed the following
four main themes with sub-themes flowing from it: 1) the usage of ICT; 2) the role of ICT
usage; 3) the challenges relating to ICT usage; and 4) managing work-life interaction by
using ICT. Theme 2 lend itself to be sub-divided into four minor subthemes namely: 1) the
positive role of ICT usage; 2) the negative role of ICT usage; 3) the role ICT plays in
relationships; and 4) the increased expectations brought about by ICT usage.
The current research was not without certain limitations, which should be noted. The
researcher only investigated the employees themselves and did not extend the unit of analysis
to include the household of employees (esp. the partner or spouse). In addition, the majority
of the participants were Afrikaans-speaking males, which is not a true reflection of the
multicultural society of South Africa promoting gender equality in the work place. Based on
the findings of the present research, various recommendations could be made.
Future research could firstly enlarge the sample to be more representative of South Africa’s
multicultural and diverse society, and secondly, to include the partner or spouse of
employees. Organisations should also consider the implementation of various policies on ICT
usage. These directives could include the following: a policy to ensure across the board ICT
implementation; an after-work hours policy to ensure as little as possible infringement on
employees work-life interaction; and a hierarchical policy ensuring the correct
communication channels are followed.
Lastly, future research could also do multiple comparative studies on the differences between
the degree of ICT adoption, or the amount of ICT devices employees utilise and the impact
this has on their work-life interaction. Such research can also investigate how the decrease in
face-to-face communication impacts social interaction in both the work and nonwork domains
and thereby affects employees’ work-life interaction. / MCom (Industrial Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

A sense of control : a model of a virtual community for people with mobility impairmentsTilley, Christine Margaret January 2006 (has links)
This qualitative study develops a model of a virtual community for people with longterm, severe physical or mobility disabilities. The model also has implications for the wider community of people with disabilities. The study uses the Strauss and Corbin grounded theory methodology to inform the investigation from which a systematic theory has been developed. On the basis of this theory, the study proposes strategies for implementing the virtual community model. In-depth interviews were conducted with twelve Queenslanders with paraplegia, quadriplegia or other severe, long-term physical or mobility disabilities and with six health care professionals, service providers, information personnel and policy advisers involved in their well-being. The methodology used one interview question to determine their experiences and perceptions regarding virtual communities and the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Each interview explored in detail the elements, enablers and barriers behind the usage of ICT and/or assistive technology. The personal responses and narratives of the people with disabilities who use the technology and their allied health care professionals were analysed and interpreted for meaning before the transcripts were returned to these participants for validation. Rich explanations were derived. Details of the various response categories of these interviews were analysed as part of the grounded theory, constant comparison methodology, and the relationship to the literature was considered. These de-constructed meanings were compared and contrasted with those in the current literature. The central theme to emerge from these narratives is that people with long-term disabilities regain a sense of control and independence in their lives through the use of ICT, as they move towards an on-line community. Other major themes that emerged from being on-line indicated that being on-line tended to break down people's isolation, while potentially changing the work paradigm (both vexed issues for people with disabilities). Information and communications technology and on-line communities offer ways to enhance every person's inclusion, participation and empowerment in our society. The primary outcome of the study is a theory regarding the character of virtual communities for people with long-term, severe mobility impairments that stakeholders may consider whenever such a virtual community is proposed. The theory is represented as a virtual community model. The model identifies the need for "a sense of control" as the foundational element of virtual communities for the disabled, and distinguishes the key domains in which disabled people participate in virtual communities. The barriers and enablers to their participation are specified within it. The model also provides a framework within which virtual communities can be facilitated. It melds six types of e-communities or sets of well-developed discrete categories (for example, themes, concepts) that the data from this study revealed: education-oriented, fantasy-oriented, information-oriented, interestoriented, relationship-oriented and transaction-oriented, depending on the type(s) of consumer need(s) to be met. The study concludes that although the technology itself provides strategies for independence and thus facilitates self-empowerment, it is also capable of being disempowering. Many interviewees referred to this aspect as a "double-edged sword". Empowerment and dis-empowerment are intersecting processes because of digital divide and information literacy issues and this "double-edged sword", which virtual reality presents for people with physical disabilities. Based on the new knowledge and the model as the outcomes of this study, a range of recommendations are discussed that have application in the community for persons with mobility impairments.

Etude de l'exposition d'une population à un réseau de communication sans fil via les outils de dosimétrie et de statistique / Study of the exposure of a population to a wireless communication network via dosimetric tools and statisticHuang, Yuanyuan 13 March 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse propose une nouvelle méthode, via les outils de dosimétrie et de statistiques, pour l'évaluation de l'exposition globale d'une population aux champs électromagnétiques (EMFs) radiofréquences en prenant en compte les différentes technologies, usages et environnements... Nous avons analysé pour la première fois l'exposition moyenne d'une population induite par un réseau 3G, tout en considérant à la fois les émissions EMFs montantes et descendantes dans des différents pays, dans des différentes zones géographiques et pour les différents usages des mobiles. Les résultats montrent une forte hétérogénéité de l'exposition dans le temps et dans l'espace. Contrairement à la croyance populaire, l'exposition aux ondes EMFs 3G est dominée par les émissions montantes, résultant de l'usage voix et data. En outre, l'exposition moyenne de la population diffère d'une zone géographique à une autre, ainsi que d'un pays à un autre, en raison des différentes architectures de réseau cellulaire et de la variabilité de l'usage des mobiles. Ensuite, la variabilité et les incertitudes liées à ces facteurs ont été caractérisées. Une analyse de sensibilité basée sur la variance de l'exposition globale a été effectuée dans le but de simplifier son évaluation. Enfin, une méthodologie simplifiée basée sur des outils statistiques avancés a été proposée pour évaluer l'exposition réelle de la population en tenant compte de la variabilité liée à l'environnement de propagation, à l'usage, ainsi qu'aux émissions EMFs provenant des mobiles et des stations de base (BTS). Les résultats ont souligné l'importance de la densité de puissance reçue depuis les BTS pour l'exposition globale induite par un réseau macro LTE. / Wireless communication technologies, since their introduction, have evolved very quickly and people have been brought in 30 years into a much closer world. In parallel radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) are more and more used. As a consequence, people's attentions around health risks of exposure to RF EMFs have grown just as much as their usages of wireless communication technologies. Exposure to RF EMFs can be characterized using different exposure metrics (e.g., incident field metrics, absorption metrics...). However, the existing methodologies are well suited to the maximum exposure assessment for the individual under the worst-case condition. Moreover in most cases, when dealing with exposure issues, exposures linked to RF EMF emitted from base stations (BTS) and by wireless devices (e.g, mobile phones and tablets) are generally treated separately. This thesis has been dedicated to construct and validate a new method for assessing the real day-to-day RF EMF exposure to a wireless network as a whole, exploring the people's daily life, including both downlink and uplink exposures and taking into account different technologies, usages, environments, etc. Towards these objectives, we analyzed for the first time the average population exposure linked to third generation network (3G) induced EMFs, from both uplink and downlink radio emissions in different countries, geographical areas, and for different wireless device usages. Results, derived from device usage statistics, show a strong heterogeneity of exposure, both in time and space. We show that, contrary to popular belief, exposure to 3G EMFs is dominated by uplink radio emissions, resulting from voice and data traffic, and average population EMF exposure differs from one geographical area to another, as well as from one country to another, due to the different cellular network architectures and variability of mobile usage. Thus the variability and uncertainties linked to these influencing factors were characterized. And a variance-based sensitivity analysis of the global exposure was performed for the purpose of simplifying its evaluation. Finally, a substitution model was built to evaluate the day-to-day global LTE induced EMFs exposure of a population taking into account the variability linked to propagation environment, usage, as well as EMFs from personal wireless devices and BTS. Results have highlighted the importance of received power density from BTS to the issue of global exposure induced by a macro LTE network. This substitution model can be further used to analyze the evolution of the wireless network in terms of EMF exposure.

Teachers’ experience of information and communication technology use for teaching and learning in urban schoolsMukhari, Shirley Sympathonia January 2016 (has links)
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning is of significant importance to a country’s development and the social growth of individuals. As a result, ICT usage is gaining momentum in world schooling systems. Cognisant of the benefits of ICTs in teaching and learning, South African schools have introduced ICTs in schools and teachers are compelled to adopt and integrate technology to improve their pedagogic activities. The purpose of this research was to explore South African teachers’ experience in using ICT in the schooling system. This study was underpinned by the Network Society theoretical framework that endorses the use of ICTs in teaching and learning environments. The research method used in the study followed a qualitative interpretative approach and data collection methods included a literature study, non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews with a purposefully selected sample of teachers and school principals and analysis of documents on ICTs in teaching and learning. Findings indicated that ICT integration in teaching and learning is endorsed by teachers and principals who understand the benefits of ICT in enabling better methodological strategies, greater collaboration among teachers, improved access to the required information and the ability to cater for learners with different potential and learning styles. However, a number of factors that hinder the successful ICT integration in urban schools were identified as inadequate ICT infrastructure, teachers’ lack of ICT skills and low level of ICT proficiency, inadequate training, negative attitudes and poor teacher confidence. Other factors included lack of ICT leadership, funds and technical support. These findings indicated poor implementation of policy and a lack of connection between theory and practice. It was concluded that all education stakeholders, including parents, should work together in securing an ICT infrastructure that will accommodate all learners. It was recommended that more regular workshops which focus on the development of ICT skills in accordance with the proficiency levels required to effect successful integration of ICTs by teachers, be conducted. Moreover, principals should attend training workshops to learn about their responsibilities as ICT leaders at school. Technological pedagogical and content knowledge (PACK) together with CRAR3FS2 principles could provide a crucial framework for training South African teachers to overcome their ICT skill challenges. The ultimate goal of this study is to analyse factors that both hinder and enable the integration of ICTs into teaching practice in South Africa and to contribute to the body of literature on ICT integration in South African urban schools. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.

As rapid technological development constantly drives and reshapes the economy, it is vital for
learners and teachers to be highly proficient in the use of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT). The data collected revealed that the barriers to ICT integration can be
viewed as deprivation to both teachers and learners, especially those with diverse disabilities
and learning difficulties. ICT implementation is therefore more than just change driven by
technology. It is an opportunity to assist everyone, including people from all income groups,
policy-makers and leaders to support converging technologies to create a more inclusive and
humane future.
The research was designed as a case study. Face-to-face interviews were conducted, lesson
observations were undertaken and qualitative questionnaires were administered as methods of
data collection. The research population included principals and ICT teachers in the Manzini
Region. The sample was made up of two principals and 13 teachers. The data was transcribed
and presented as raw data and thereafter analysed thematically. The data collected was analysed
qualitatively.
The findings of the study were that the factors influencing ICT implementation in inclusive
primary schools in Eswatini included a lack of skills and knowledge from teachers; the lack of
teaching and learning time allocated to ICT; insufficient teaching and learning materials; a lack
of motivation and an insufficient number of teachers. Other factors included the lack of support
and collaboration from principals and the Government of Eswatini.
In view of the above factors, some recommendations were made, namely, that the Ministry of
Education should reintroduce ICT in all inclusive primary schools. The schools that offer ICT
should consider increasing the time allocated for ICT and enhance Continuous Professional
Development (CPD) for ICT teachers. They should also provide for learners with diverse
disabilities and learning difficulties a variety of teaching materials such as assistive devices to
enhance teaching and learning. / Njengaloku kutfutfuka ngekushesha kwetebuchwephesHe kuchubeka kucondzisa futsi
