Apresenta os principais aspectos das teorias do Agir comunicativo, do Discurso e da Reconstrução racional de Jürgen Habermas que se relacionam ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Aborda as principais características da sociedade da informação que demandam o desenvolvimento de habilidades fundamentais à utilização produtiva da informação e da comunicação, e suas implicações para a educação básica no Brasil. Destaca os pressupostos das teorias de Jürgen Habermas para a construção de uma educação emancipatória e libertadora. Mostra, com base na literatura consultada, o imaginário da comunidade escolar sobre o bibliotecário e a biblioteca, o que representam uma barreira para a efetiva inserção deste profissional no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e a transformação da biblioteca como lugar de comunicação e discussão da informação e construção do conhecimento. Faz uma análise da produção científica nas áreas da Ciência da Informação e da Biblioteconomia sobre o bibliotecário escolar que atua em escola pública nas publicações periódicas das áreas com classificação Qualis A1 e A2. Expõe os resultados da pesquisa, que de modo geral revela a necessidade de aprofundar os estudos sobre a atuação, competências e responsabilidades do bibliotecário escolar. Os resultados indicam que 33% dos artigos analisados na pesquisa têm relação com ações de informação voltadas ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O estudo também aponta que 27% dos artigos abordaram, de algum modo, questões relativas à atuação e ao papel do bibliotecário na escola, o que denota o interesse dos pesquisadores em construir um paradigma educacional para o bibliotecário escolar. E por fim, faz uma breve reflexão do papel do bibliotecário na escola pública brasileira, com base na teoria do Agir comunicativo, procurando incentivar o debate sobre a importância de este profissional desenvolver ações com enfoque na interação e na comunicação entre os indivíduos, que são aspectos fundamentais ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem. / This paper makes a brief reflection on the duties, responsibilities and skills of the librarian in the school. Presents the main aspects of the theories of Communicative act, Discourse and Rational reconstruction of Jürgen Habermas that relate to the teaching-learning process. Discusses the main features of the information demand the development of key productive use of information and communication skills society, and its implications for basic education in Brazil. Highlights the assumptions of the theories of Jürgen Habermas to build an emancipatory and liberating education. Shows, based on the literature, the imagery of the school community about the librarian and the library, which represent a barrier to the inclusion of this person in the teaching-learning and the transformation of the library as a place for communication and discussion of information and knowledge construction. An analysis of scientific literature in the areas of Information Science and Library on the school librarian who works in a public school in the periodicals of the areas classification Qualis A1 and A2. Exposes search results, which generally reveals the need for further studies on the role, powers and responsibilities of the school librarian. The results indicate that 33% of the articles analyzed in the study are related to information actions aimed at teaching-learning process. The study also shows that 27% of articles addressed somehow, questions concerning the role and the role of the librarian in the school, which shows the interest of researchers in building an educational paradigm for the school librarian. Finally, a brief reflection on the role of the librarian in Brazilian public schools, based on the theory of communicative act, seeking to encourage debate on the importance of this professional develop activities focused on interaction and communication between individuals who are fundamental to the teaching-learning process aspects.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This dissertation takes as a starting point the fact that the process of constructing meanings in multimodal texts involves the contribution of verbal and non-verbal codes, which integrate themselves in a collaborative action in order to establish communication. Therefore, explicit/implicit elements add up to the textual composition in meaningful arrangements materializedinto texts (re)createdby the reading subject. It is important to highlight that this process depends on the reader’s repertoire which involves linguistics, discourse and image knowledge. For this reason, we have chosen to develop a group of 9th grade students with whom I work at a public school in Aracaju verbal and visual language literacy aiming to improve their reading competence and reflexive thinking. For the purpose of achieving such scope, we have developed the digital game Na Trilha dos sentidos, directed into building meanings from strips and publicity ads, both multimodal kinds of texts. We have been supported by the social interactionist linguistic theories related to the conception of genre by Marcuschi (2008); we have resorted to Koch (2006, 2015) to debate the concept of resumption by the pronominal anaphora; we have sought the basis for a concept of reading in Kleiman (2000); we have read Cavalcante e Custódio (2010) for the concept of text and Bakhtin/Volochinov (1998 [1929]) for information about the discursive context and dialogism; Kress e Van Leeuwen (1996) have made it possible for us to organize the visual resources studies, among which we stress salience and framing; besides using Fialho’s ideas (2005) for the pedagogic game as an auxiliary resource functionality, a motivation in the learning process. The study followed the principles of the educational actionresearch, defined by Tripp (2005) as a strategy for developing teachers who aim at enhancing their teaching practices and, consequently, their students’ learning. This theoretical input has contributed for the elaboration of the tasks in the game created by researcher. We have observed, from the application and outcomes analysis, that using this pedagogic resource has leaded to students’ involvement with contents, resulting in a broader comprehension of materials in which linguistic, discursive and imagetic aspects have collaborated in the constitution of a single verbal and visual text. We have also noticed the enhancement of the interpretation of meanings from inferences built by means of diverse language resources combined analysis. In spite of its limited reach, as it was restricted to only one group of students, this research suggests that the use of pedagogic practices with multimodal materials based in games should be increased, as it collaborates with the enlargement of the elementary school students’ comprehension ability. / Esta dissertação toma como ponto de partida o fato de o processo de construção de sentido nos textos multimodais envolver a contribuição de códigos verbais e não verbais, que se integram em ação colaborativa para estabelecer comunicação. Assim, elementos explícitos/implícitos integram a composição textual em arranjos significativos materializados em textos que são (re)criados pelo sujeito leitor. É importante destacar que esse processo depende do repertório de conhecimentos que envolve saberes linguísticos, discursivos e imagéticos. Por essa razão, optamos por desenvolver o letramento dos estudantes na linguagem verbo-visual visando ao aprimoramento da competência leitora e do pensamento reflexivo de estudantes do 9º ano do ensino fundamental com os quais trabalho em uma escola pública de Aracaju. Para atingir tal escopo, desenvolvemos o jogo digital Na Trilha dos sentidos, direcionado à construção de sentido a partir dos gêneros tira e anúncio publicitário, ambos de natureza multimodal. Apoiamo-nos nas teorias linguísticas sociointeracionistas associadas à concepção de gênero de Marcuschi (2008); recorremos a Koch (2006, 2015) para discutir a concepção de retomada pela anáfora pronominal; buscamos em Kleiman (2000) as bases para uma concepção de leitura; partimos de Cavalcante e Custódio (2010) para definirmos o conceito de texto e em Bakhtin/Volochinov (1998 [1929]) para o de contexto discursivo e dialogismo; Kress e Leeuwen (2006) possibilitaram-nos organizar os estudos dos recursos visuais, entre os quais destacamos a saliência e o enquadre; além de utilizarmos as ideias de Fialho (2005) para funcionalidade do jogo didático como recurso auxiliar, motivacional no processo da aprendizagem. O trabalho realizado seguiu os princípios da pesquisa-ação educacional, conforme Tripp (2005), que a define como uma estratégia de desenvolvimento de professores que visam a aprimorar as estratégias de ensino que utilizam e, consequentemente, as aprendizagens dos estudantes. Esse aporte teórico contribuiu para a elaboração das atividades do jogo criado pela pesquisadora. Constatamos a partir da aplicação do jogo e análise dos resultados que a utilização desse tipo de recurso didático promoveu o envolvimento dos estudantes com os conteúdos estudados, resultando em uma maior compreensão de materiais nos quais aspectos linguísticos, discursivos e imagéticos colaboram para a constituição de um único texto verbo-visual. Também notamos o aprimoramento da interpretação de sentidos a partir de inferências construídas por meio de análise combinada de diferentes recursos de linguagem. Embora com alcance limitado, por estar restrito a uma única turma, esta pesquisa possibilita sugerir que haja o incremento de práticas pedagógicas com materiais multimodais apoiadas em jogos, pois colaboram com a ampliação das capacidades de compreensão dos estudantes da educação básica.

De nos jours, la simulation clinique haute-fidélité (SCHF) s’avère une stratégie pédagogique par excellence, étant de plus en plus adoptée par plusieurs établissements d’enseignement nationaux et internationaux en sciences infirmières, et ce, afin de préparer les étudiants à leur future pratique. En dépit des nombreux bienfaits associés à la SCHF, il appert que plusieurs étudiants peuvent ressentir un sentiment de stress, d’angoisse et d’humiliation s’ils ne reçoivent pas l’accompagnement nécessaire de la part de leur formateur dans ce contexte académique. Nonobstant que plusieurs chercheurs infirmiers mettent l’accent sur l’importance du rôle du formateur en contexte de simulation, leurs travaux n’ont pas étudié l’aspect de la relation formateur-étudiants. Pourtant, sa valeur ajoutée a été mise en évidence par de nombreux écrits scientifiques, mais dans d’autres contextes académiques, notamment en classe, en stage clinique et en ligne. De surcroît, ces études n’ont pas précisé la nature de la relation formateur-étudiants, ni l’ont exploré sous une perspective humaniste. Par conséquent, il s’est avéré judicieux d’ajouter le qualificatif « pédagogique » afin de souligner l’aspect éducatif de la relation et le qualificatif « caring » pour désigner son approche humaniste. À la lumière des écrits recensés et à notre connaissance, aucune étude en sciences infirmières n’a exploré ce type de relation en contexte de SCHF. Ainsi, cette recherche doctorale s’est intéressée à décrire et comprendre la signification de l’expérience vécue d’une relation pédagogique de caring (RPC) selon la perception d’étudiants infirmiers du premier cycle universitaire en contexte de SCHF. De plus, cette recherche phénoménologique descriptive a visé l’exploration des facilitateurs, des obstacles et des contributions associées à la RPC dans ledit contexte. L’Investigation Relationnelle Caring (Cara, 1997; Cara et al., 2017), méthode phénoménologique descriptive, a été choisie afin de répondre au but et aux questions de cette recherche. Des entrevues individuelles de type semi-structuré ont été réalisées auprès de 19 étudiants infirmiers, lesquels ont participé à une seconde entrevue visant la validation des récits synthèses issus des verbatim. Inspirée par la pédagogique émancipatoire relationnelle (Hills et Watson, 2011; Hills et al., 2021) comme perspective disciplinaire, l’analyse et l’interprétation des données recueillies ont permis aux cinq eidos-thèmes suivants d’émerger : (1) engagement authentique du formateur à l’égard des étudiants, (2) conscientisation du formateur quant aux barrières au développement de la RPC, (3) mise en œuvre d’un espace d’apprentissage sécuritaire pour les étudiants, (4) cocréation d’une collaboration empreinte de caring entre formateur-étudiants et, (5) nature pédagogique et caring de la relation contribuant à la transformation du processus d’apprentissage. Ces derniers ont favorisé l’émergence de la structure essentielle du phénomène étudié (RPC), laquelle correspond à : « un engagement authentique du formateur favorisant un espace académique sécuritaire dans le but de cocréer une collaboration humaniste avec les étudiants qui vise la transformation de leur processus d’apprentissage en contexte de simulation clinique haute-fidélité ». Cette recherche phénoménologique ajoute au corpus de connaissances en sciences infirmières une nouvelle description et compréhension de la signification de la RPC, mettant en évidence, ses caractéristiques, ses facilitateurs, ses obstacles, de même que ses contributions en contexte de simulation. Nos résultats révèlent que les formateurs jouent un rôle capital pour promouvoir des expériences d’apprentissage enrichissantes chez les étudiants dans ledit contexte. Diverses recommandations, découlant de nos résultats, ont été proposées dans différents domaines de la pratique infirmière, notamment la formation, la recherche, la clinique, la gestion et le volet sociopolitique. Enfin, ces dernières visent à offrir aux parties prenantes des pistes de solution concrètes pour concourir à l’avancement des apprentissages des étudiants et, plus largement, à l’humanisation de la formation infirmière en contexte de simulation. / Nowadays, the high-fidelity clinical simulation (HFCS) is an outstanding pedagogical strategy, which is increasingly being adopted by several national and international nursing institutions in order to prepare students for their future practice. Despite countless advantages pertaining to HFCS, it appears that many students may feel a sense of stress, anguish, and humiliation if they do not receive the necessary support from their educator in this academic context. Notwithstanding the fact that many nursing researchers emphasize the importance of the educator’s role within the context of simulation, their works did not study the aspect of the educator-students relationship. However, its added value has been highlighted by a large amount of scientific papers, but in other academic contexts, notably classroom, clinical and online environments. Moreover, these studies did not specify the nature of the educator-students relationship, nor did they explore it from a humanistic perspective. Consequently, it was appropriate to add the term “pedagogical” to emphasize the educational aspect of this relationship, and the term “caring” to refer to its humanistic approach. Based on the literature and to our knowledge, no nursing study has explored this type of relationship within the context of HFCS. Thus, this doctoral research was interested in describing and understanding the meaning of the lived experience of a caring pedagogical relationship (CPR) according to the perception of undergraduate nursing students in the context of high-fidelity clinical simulation. In addition, this phenomenological descriptive research aimed to explore its facilitators, barriers, as well as contributions from the students’ perspective. The Relational Caring Inquiry (Cara, 1997; Cara et al., 2017), a descriptive phenomenological method, has been selected to meet the purpose and questions of this research. Individual semi-structured interviews were realized with 19 nursing students, who also participated in a second interview to validate the narrative synthesis. Being inspired by the relational emancipatory pedagogy (Hills & Watson, 2011; Hills et al., 2021), as a disciplinary perspective, the analysis and interpretation of the data collected have allowed the following five eidos-themes to emerge: (1) authentic engagement of the educator toward students, (2) Educator’s conscientization regarding barriers to the development of the CPR, (3) implementation of a safe learning space for students, (4) cocreation of a caring collaboration between educator-students and, finally, (5) pedagogical and caring nature of the relationship contributing to the transformation of learning process. They subsequently facilitated the emergence of the essential structure of the studied phenomenon (CPR), which corresponds to: “an authentic engagement of the educator fostering a safe academic space in order to cocreate a humanistic collaboration with students to transform their learning process within the context of high-fidelity clinical simulation”. This research adds to the body of nursing knowledge a new understanding in regard to the meaning of the CPR by highlighting its characteristics, facilitators, barriers, as well as its contributions in the context of simulation. Our results show that educators play a vital role to promote enriching learning experiences among students in the aforementioned context. Various recommendations arising from our findings have been proposed in different domains of nursing, notably education, research, clinical, management, and sociopolitical. Finally, these aim to provide stakeholders with concrete avenues to advance students’ learning and, more broadly, to humanize nursing education in simulation settings.

This study explores the application of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to enhance the decision-making, safety, and passenger comfort of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)at uncontrolled intersections. The research aims to assess the potential of MARL in modeling multiple agents interacting within a shared environment, reflecting real-world situations where AVs interact with multiple actors. The findings suggest that AVs trained using aMARL approach with global experiences can better navigate intersection scenarios than AVs trained on local (individual) experiences. This capability is a critical precursor to achieving Level 5 autonomy, where vehicles are expected to manage all aspects of the driving task under all conditions. The research contributes to the ongoing discourse on enhancing autonomous vehicle technology through multi-agent reinforcement learning and informs the development of sophisticated training methodologies for autonomous driving.

Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, ein Modell interkultureller Qualifizierung im Rahmen des Hochschulstudiums in Deutschland zu generieren. Im theoretischen Teil wird der Qualifizie-rungsbegriff in Bezug zum Qualifizierungsziel interkulturelle Kompetenz und zum Anwen-dungskontext Hochschulstudium in Deutschland erörtert sowie das Thema innerhalb der Erzie-hungswissenschaften verortet. Auf die Themen interkulturelle Kompetenz und interkulturelles Lernen wird gesondert eingegangen. Darauf aufbauend werden im empirischen Tiel die zwei durchgeführten Studien beschrieben und abschließend die Ergebnisse interpretiert. Aus einer qualitativ-explorativen Interviewbefragung von 18 ehemaligen Teilnehmenden am Zusatzstudi-um Internationale Handlungskompetenz der Regensburger Hochschulen und einer quantitativ-explanativen Fragebogenstudie mit 129 damals aktuellen Teilnehmenden am Ende des Zusatz-studiums konnten relevante Eingangsbedingungen, Lernprozesse und Wirkungen sowie Kon-trollvariablen interkultureller Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen identifiziert werden. Die identifizierten Variablen werden zu den fünf Nutzungsprofilen interkultureller Qualifizierung 1) Sensibilisie-rung, 2) kognitive Anwendung, 3) Aktivierung, 4) aktionale Anwendung und 5) Potenzierung zusammengefasst. In einem Transfermodell werden die Nutzungsprofile schießlich in Bezug auf Wissenstransfer und Handlungstransfer verortet und in einem Input-Prozess-Output-Modell auf-steigend angeordnet. Das Ergebnis der Arbeit besteht somit in einem theoretisch fundierten und empirisch geprüften lern- und handlungstheoretischen Modell interkultureller Qualifizierung, das exemplarisch Bedingungen, Prozessverläufe und Wirkungen interkultureller Qualifizie-rungsmaßnahmen an deutschen Hochschulen beschreibt und dadurch Anwendungswissen für Konzeption, Implementation und Evaluation weiterer bestehender und geplanter interkultureller Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen bietet. / This study aims at generating an input-process-output model of intercultural qualification in the context of academic education in Germany. The theoretical framework consists of defining in-tercultural qualification and localizing the topic within educational sciences. The topics intercul-tural competence and intercultural learning are discussed separately. There were two empirical studies: 1) 18 former participants of the Extracurricular Study Program for Intercultural Compe-tence at the Regensburg universities have been interviewed about the program’s learning pro-cesses and learning outcomes. Resulting data were analysed using qualitative methods, yielding a set of hypotheses on relations between preconditions, processes and outcomes of intercultural qualification. 2) At the end of the program, 129 participants completed a questionnaire con-structed on the results of the interview study producing quantitative data. Relevant input, pro-cess and output variables could be identified and were integrated into five user profiles: 1) sensi-tisation, 2) cognitive application, 3) activation, 4) behavioral application, and 5) potentialisation. These profiles were finally arranged in relation to knowledge transfer and behavioral transfer, thus yielding a transfer model of intercultural qualification, and were put in ascending order in an input-process-output model. This theoretically founded and empirically tested model de-scribes exemplarily preconditions, learning processes, learning outcomes, and control variables of intercultural qualification in the context of academic education in Germany. It can be used as a theoretical framework for further research or conceptualisation, implementation, and evalua-tion of intercultural qualification programs.

An increasing number of university freshmen has been observable in absolute number as well as percentage of population over the last decade. However, at the same time the drop-out rate has increased significantly. While a drop in attendance could be observed at the same time, statistics show that young professionals consider only roughly thirty percent of their qualification to originate in their university education. Taking this into consideration with the before mentioned, one conclusion could be that students fail to see the importance of fundamental classes and choose to seek knowledge elsewhere, for example in free online courses. However, the so acquired knowledge is a non-attributable qualification. One solution to this problem must be to make on-site activities more attractive. A promising approach for raised attractiveness would be to support students in self-regulated learning processes, making them experience importance and value of own decisions based on realistic self-assessment and self-evaluation. At the same time, strict ex-cathedra teaching should be replaced by interactive forms of education, ideally activating on a meta-cognitive level. Particularly, as many students bring mobile communication devices into classes, this promising approach could be extended by utilising these mobile devices as second screens. That way, enhanced learning experiences can be provided. The basic idea is simple, namely to contribute to psychological concepts with the means of computer science. An example for this idea are audience response systems. There has been numerous research into these and related approaches for university readings, but other forms of education have not been sufficiently considered, for example tutorials. This technological aspect can be combined with recent didactics research and concepts like peer instruction or visible learning. Therefore, this dissertation presents an experimental approach at providing existing IT solutions for on-site tutorials, specifically tools for audience responses, evaluations, learning demand assessments, peer discussion, and virtual interactive whiteboards. These tools are provided under observation of anonymity and cognisant incidental utilisation. They provide insight into students\' motivation to attend classes, their motivation to utilise tools, and into their tool utilisation itself. Experimental findings are combined into an extensible system concept consisting of three major tool classes: anonymous peer discussion means, anonymous control facilities, and learning demand assessment. With the exception of the latter, promising findings in context of tutorials are presented, for example the reduction of audience response systems to an emergency brake, the versatility of (peer) discussion systems, or a demand for retroactive deanonymisation of contributions. The overall positive impact of tool utilisation on motivation to attend and perceived value of tutorials is discussed and supplemented by a positive impact on the final exams\' outcomes. / Über die vergangene Dekade ist eine zunehmende Zahl Studienanfänger beobachtbar, sowohl in der absoluten Anzahl, als auch im Bevölkerungsanteil. Demgegenüber steht aber eine überproportional hohe Steigerung der Abbruchquote. Während gleichzeitig die Anwesenheit in universitären Lehrveranstaltungen sinkt, zeigen Statistiken, dass nur etwa ein Drittel der Berufseinsteiger die Grundlagen ihrer Qualifikation im Studium sieht. Daraus könnte man ableiten, dass Studierende den Wert und die Bedeutung universitärer Ausbildung unterschätzen und stattdessen Wissen in anderen Quellen suchen, beispielsweise unentgeltlichen Online-Angeboten. Das auf diese Art angeeignete Wissen stellt aber eine formell nicht nachweise Qualifikation dar. Ein Weg aus diesem Dilemma muss die Steigerung der Attraktivität der universitären Lehrveranstaltungen sein. Ein vielversprechender Ansatz ist die Unterstützung der Studierenden im selbst-regulierten Lernen, wodurch sie die Wichtigkeit und den Wert eigener Entscheidung(sfindungsprozesse) auf Basis realistischer Selbsteinschätzung und Selbstevaluation erlernen. Gleichzeitig sollte Frontalunterricht durch interaktive Lehrformen ersetzt werden, idealerweise durch Aktivierung auf meta-kognitiver Ebene. Dies ist vielversprechend insbesondere, weil viele Studierende ihre eigenen mobilen Endgeräte in Lehrveranstaltungen bringen. Diese Geräte können als Second Screen für die neuen Lehrkonzepte verwendet werden. Auf diese Art kann dann eine verbesserte Lernerfahrung vermittelt werden. Die Grundidee ist simpel, nämlich in der Psychologie bewährte Didaktik-Konzepte durch die Mittel der Informatik zu unterstützen. Ein Beispiel dafür sind Audience Response Systeme, die hinlänglich im Rahmen von Vorlesungen untersucht worden sind. Andere Lehrformen wurden dabei jedoch unzureichend berücksichtigt, beispielsweise Tutorien. Ähnliche Überlegungen gelten natürlich auch für bewährte didaktische Konzepte wie Peer Instruction oder Betrachtungen in Form von Visible Learning. Deshalb präsentiert diese Dissertation einen experimentellen Ansatz, informationstechnische Lösungen für vor-Ort-Übungen anzubieten, nämlich Werkzeuge für Audience Response Systeme, Evaluationen, Lernbedarfsermittlung, Peer Discussion, sowie virtuelle interaktive Whiteboards. Die genannten Werkzeuge wurden unter Beachtung von Anonymitäts- und Beiläufigkeitsaspekten bereitgestellt. Sie erlauben einen Einblick in die Motivation der Studierenden Tutorien zu besuchen und die Werkzeuge zu nutzen, sowie ihr Nutzungsverhalten selbst. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse werden in ein erweiterbares Systemkonzept kombiniert, das drei Werkzeugklassen unterstützt: anonyme Peer Discussion, anonyme Kontrollwerkzeuge und Lernbedarfsermittlung. Für die ersten beiden Klassen liegen vielversprechende Ergebnisse vor, beispielsweise die notwendige Reduktion des Audience Response Systems auf eine Art Notbremse, die Vielseitigkeit von (Peer-)Discussion-Systemen, oder aber auch der Bedarf für eine retroaktive Deanonymisierung von initial anonymen Beiträgen. Der allgemein positive Einfluss der Werkzeugnutzung auf die Motivation an Tutorien teilzunehmen sowie den wahrgenommenen Wert der Tutorien werden abschließend diskutiert und durch verbesserte Abschlussklausurergebnisse untermauert.

This study explored the role of school-based teacher financial incentives on student academic achievement. Despite great efforts made by Zimbabwean government towards improving the education system in terms of infrastructure development and increasing number of schools, prior and after 1980, not much attention had been paid to the role of teachers’ extra-financial incentives on enhancing teacher motivation which leads to student achievement in and outside classroom situation. Extra-financial incentives differ from government to government depending on the revenue base and political will by such governments to support these teacher incentives programmes. In developed countries, respective governments pay different teacher incentives while in developing countries, parents/guardians or School Development Committees (SDCs) shoulder the burden. This study contented that one of the ways to improve student achievement has been payment of school-based teacher incentives to supplement teachers’ low salaries. While the need to adequately compensate teachers had been a worldwide phenomenon, this is in contrast to Zimbabwean experience after 2014, when Government of National Unity (GNU) came to an end. Zimbabwean government banned payment of teacher incentives under unclear reasons which were widely purported to be political. This research adopted a qualitative approach and as such, collection of primary and secondary data were done using multiple data collection techniques. Techniques included interviews with key informants, focus group discussions and open ended questionnaires in selected secondary schools. Results from this study revealed that improving teacher motivation through school-based incentives had been central to improved student achievement. In schools where teacher incentive system was practiced pass-rates increased, with a sudden decline when teacher incentives were banned. Banning or lack of properly designed incentive systems, where teachers were consulted, was seen as negatively affecting student achievement in selected secondary schools of Makoni District. / Educational Foundations / D.

Abstract in English, Venda and Sotho / Within the last decade, the level of teenage pregnancy in Southern Africa has been on the increase and as a result, is being seen as a major social problem. This study, which is a dissertation of limited scope, investigates the teaching and learning challenges of teenage mother learners at secondary schools in the Vhembe District in Limpopo. This study is classified as qualitative research within a case study design. A convenience sampling method was applied in order to select teachers and teenage mother learners for participation in the study resulting in five teachers and five teenage mother learners participating in the study Participants were interviewed using in-depth interviews. Participant observation and document analysis were other research methodologies included in the data collection process. Participant observation assisted in gathering data in relation to how mother learners interacted with teachers and other peers in class and in the school environment and document analysis was conducted by means of perusing formal records, such as attendance registers, class tests and examination results, medical records, and involvement in extramural activities. Qualitative data analysis was used in order to analyse data collected which resulted in themes and sub-themes emerging. The findings revealed that teenage pregnancy has a detrimental effect on girls’ schooling with school attendance and absenteeism affecting performance resulting in poor results and even drop out. Additional factors such as lack of financial support, physical and emotional support from family and friends as well as stigmatisation, discrimination and exclusion have a negative effect on learning. Teachers tend to lack the necessary knowledge and skills in dealing with teenage mother learners and are not supported with counselling programmes. Recommendations suggest that teachers are equipped with special skills to deal with teenage mother learners and that learners at school are made more aware of the dangers of early pregnancy and its effects on their education through various programmes. / Ngudo iyi, ya desithesheni ya tshikoupu tsho pimiwaho, i khou ṱoḓisisa nga ha khaedu dza u funza na u guda kha vhagudi vha vhana vha re vho mme zwikoloni zwa sekondari Masipalani wa Tshiṱiriki tsha Vhembe, Limpopo.
