A study of maladjustment among urban Indian primary school children : a psycho-educational approach.Ramphal, Anandpaul. January 1978 (has links)
This is a report of investigations carried out into three aspects of the problem of maladjustment among Indian primary school children. For the sake of convenience and clarity, the dissertation is divided into the following parts, each investigating a different aspect of the topic: (a) A study of the Incidence of Maladjustment among Indian Primary School Children. (b) A Study of the Attitudes of Indian Teachers to Behaviour Problems of Children. (c) An In-depth Comparative Study of Sub-samples of Well-adjusted and Maladjusted Indian Primary School Children in respect of Selected Aspects of their Home Environment. The research was carried out in the form of three projects corresponding to the title order given above
and referred to in this report as Projects One, Two, and Three, respectively. All three projects are
linked together by the common theme of "maladjustment". / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1978.

A study of failure in school with special reference to Indian secondary education in Natal.Naguran, Chinnapen Amatchi. January 1978 (has links)
This is a study of the incidence of failure in Indian secondary
education in Natal, in which academic performance was considered
against the background of a number of variables such as socio-economic
factors, family size, birth order, IQ, health, absenteeism, study
and reading habits, parents' level of Western education, family income,
participation in extra-curricular activities and certain
behaviour and personality traits.
A random sample of 1 787 pupils (1 092 boys and 695 girls) who wrote
the Standard VII Academic Course examination in 1974 was selected
from 16 Indian secondary schools in Natal.
Data were obtained by administering a set of questionnaires to the
pupils and the form-teachers. Data processing was done by the
lCL computer service.
The Chi-square statistical techniques was used to test for significance.
The findings suggest that:
(i) there are significant relationships between academic performance
and the following variables: parents' level
of Western education, religion, birth-order (especially
among first-born boys) IQ and absenteeism;
(ii) certain of the variables tested influenced the academic
performance of the boys differently from those of the
girls. These variables are family income, physical handicaps,
reading habits and participation in extra-curricular
activities. The trend was that these variables influenced
the boys' performance more than the girls' performance.
(iii) there were certain variables which were not significantly
related to academic performance. These were: health of
pupils, use of the library for borrowing books, fathers'
occupation, having one's own room, family size, language commonly
spoken at home and the number of times the pupils were
transferred from one school to another
Finally certain recommendations are suggested with a view to reducing
failure at school. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1978.

An investigation into the socio-economic importance of technical education for South African Indians.Ramjan, Abdul Gaffar. January 1986 (has links)
SUMMARY
The researcher was primarily concerned with the socio-economic
importance of technical education for the South African Indians
in the 1980's. His interest was aroused because of the outlook
of pupils and parents towards technical education in the 1970's
when the system of differentiated education saw the introduction
of Industrial Arts in the school curriculum. Indian
secondary schools were equipped with modern workshops and
supervised by qualified teachers. However, too few pupils
elected to study Industrial Arts subjects then. A preliminary
investigation by the researcher at that stage revealed that
parents were generally not encouraging their sons to pursue
technical subjects at all. The general feeling among Indian
parents was that Industrial Arts subjects were devoid of
intellectual value, that these subjects were inferior and
suitable only for the delinquent, the lazy and the retarded certainly
not for their children. The technikon was frowned
upon as a tertiary institution. In short, parents and pupils
were far too academically orientated and regarded technical
education and vocational training as second rate and inferior.
However, several factors gradually brought a change in the
attitude of the community towards this type of education. The
economic recession, the almost complete lack of job opportunities,
and the difficulty of the student securing a place at
the university, (tightening entrance requirements) meant that
both parents and pupils were re-examining subjects critically.
Presently, greater numbers of pupils are selecting Industrial
Arts subjects. Even the Indian female pupils are now studying
Woodworking and Metalworking. Economically, the technical
subjects can pave the way to many careers.
Socially, the pupil who studies technical subjects, has no fear
of being looked down upon since the outlook of the community
has changed. Parents in the higher income group, for example,
those living in Reservoir Hills, had similar expectations for
their sons as those parents from the lower income group living
in areas such as Phoenix, Chatsworth or Merebank. The status
of the technical subjects had been improved in the eyes of the
community, due mainly to the tight economic situation.
An accelerated and diversified expansion programme has been
embarked upon by the Planning Section of the Department of
Education and Culture (House of Delegates) to accommodate the
rise in pupil numbers in the technical field. Four technical
colleges and a secondary technical school are in operation
presently, with more being planned. The Planners are aware
that the school systern must provide both knowledge and skill
components and they have realised that for too long the system
over-emphasised the knowledge component because the major
purpose of schooling was to direct the pupil towards the
university. Very little attention was given towards satisfying
the needs of industry and commerce. The pupil, as he develops,
must have a basic understanding of the electrical, mechanical
and electronic equipment with which he is surrounded. He
should possess the skill to operate such equipment and carry
out elementary maintenance. This could be achieved with the
introduction of the subject Technika which would be offered in
addition to Industrial Arts subjects.
The researcher trusts that the relevant authorities will
continue with their expansion programme in respect of technical
education and that it/will not be subjected to a reduction in
the budgetting of funds since the future of many pupils depends
on technical education. / Thesis (M.Ed.) - University of Durban-Westville, 1986.

Predictors of educational attainment among Naskapi adolescents / Educational attainmentRoot, Rhoda. January 2006 (has links)
Predictors of long-term academic outcomes among Naskapi adolescents from Kawawachikamach, a reserve in Northern Quebec, were examined. Adolescents from this community as from other First Nations communities are statistically at risk for high school drop out and lower levels of educational attainment. However, efforts by communities during the past two decades to narrow the gap in educational attainment between First Nations students and the general population has resulted in significant gains for students who live on reserves. / In a series of three initial visits that spanned a year, adolescents from grades 6 through 11 completed a battery of measures used to assess a broad range of components of social competence. Intelligence and school grades were used as markers of the academic success; social perspective coordination and attachment to father, mother, and peers as indices of social adaptation; and identity with Native culture as an index of cultural identity. The follow-up indicators of academic success were based on school records of graduation from high school and of admission and entrance into post-secondary institutions. As expected within the academic domain, both intelligence and school grades contributed to long-term academic achievement. Within the social domain, social perspective coordination skills and attachment to father, but not attachment to mother or peers, promoted academic achievement. Within the cultural domain, lower identification with Native status was associated with school achievement. These findings highlight the need to promote both social and academic competence in the quest to further improve rates of high school graduation and post-secondary enrolment. The link between attachment to father and academic success also suggests that educational interventions should be focused on the family as well as the child. With regard to educational planning, the government-mandated curriculum should be adapted so that the Naskapi and majority education can be integrated in complementary ways rather than being pitted against each other in a way that allows for success on only one. Although each First Nations community is unique with regard to history, culture, language, and educational values, the identification of multiple predictors of academic success among Naskapi adolescents is likely relevant to other communities.
