The specific outcomes framework : a tool for learning programme development and implementationPrinsloo, Glynnis Noreen 06 1900 (has links)
Van der Horst, H van R. / With the introduction in 1998 of Outcomes-Based Education in
South Africa, educators will no longer be passive recipients
of a curriculum developed within the ivory towers of a
Department of Education. Curriculum development will be the
task of every educator at the site of delivery. Media articles have painted a gloomy picture of the calibre
of educator expected to manage the demands of Outcomes-Based
Education. The researcher is of the opinion that there are
many dedicated educators willing to accept the historic
nature of the journey which lies ahead of them, and who,
with the adoption of an encouraging, supportive approach to
professional development, will be willing to work with,
adapt, modify and improve the Outcomes-Based curriculum
presented to them. Educators need to assume responsibility for the professional
development of Learning Programmes and the learner support
materials to ensure that learners get to grips with the new
curriculum. This task can be achieved through high-quality
in-service education, training and re-training of educators.
This study describes workshops developed by the researcher
to familiarise the educators with the Specific Outcomes Framework of Curriculum 2005, and to develop an in-depth
understanding of the Specific Outcomes without which, the
educators would be at a loss to develop meaningful Learning
Programmes. Examples of Learning Programmes developed by some of the
participating educators over a period of twelve months
indicate the levels of proficiency attained through close
monitoring and assistance offered by the researcher.
Outcomes-Based Education has been successful where all
involved have taken on the challenge to do their best and as
we collectively strive to improve the standard of education
in South Africa, let us, in the words of Jane Hofmeyer
(Article (b),Sunday Times, 25/10/98), "look forward to the
day when every child as an educational birthright, can claim
access to competent, caring and committed teachers and
schools that are organised for success." / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed. (Didactics)
