An investigation into the difficulties faced by Form C students in the learning of transformation geometry in Lesotho secondary schoolsEvbuomwan, Dickson 02 1900 (has links)
The Lesotho Junior Secondary Examination Analysis (2009 and 2010) revealed that students performance in Mathematics in general and Transformation geometry of rotation in particular was generally poor. Only a few number of students that sat for the final Form C Examination passed.
This study employed the van Hiele’s levels of learning to investigate and describe the difficulties students have in the learning of rotational transformation geometry. Both a written test and interview were used to solicit information regarding students’ difficulties. This information was collected from 90 students from Qaoling Secondary School in Maseru district in Lesotho. Findings from the study revealed that students had difficulties in identifying and naming transformation of rotation, finding the centre, angle of rotation and locating the exact image of a rotated figure after rotation. Also, they had greater difficulties when using transformation to do proof.
The analysis showed that students mostly had difficulties at the level of Abstraction and Deduction. This gave an indication that the vast majority of the students in Form C are reasoning at the lowest two levels of the van Hiele’s model which are Visualization and Description. For these students’ difficulties to be curbed, the analysis demonstrated amongst others that teachers needed to use Manipulative materials and Information Communication Technology (ICT) during the process of teaching and learning. Manipulative materials provide experience in which students can transfer their understanding smoothly from one concept to another. / Mathematics Education / M. Ed. (Mathematics Education)

Exploring cultural beliefs and practices for the use of herbal medicine and remedies during pregnancy in LesothoLekhotsa, Thakanyane Juliah 01 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Sesotho / This qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study explored culturally sensitive health
information about the use of herbal medicine by pregnant women in Lesotho, in order to
provide culturally sensitive health advice to pregnant women. Pregnant women used
herbal medicine and remedies during pregnancy resulted in still births and complications
during labour. Data on the beliefs and practices of fifteen purposively and conveniently
sampled pregnant women attending a rural antenatal clinic was collected through semistructured interviews and analysed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Ethical principles
and strategies to ensure trustworthiness were applied. One central theme emerged:
‘Women believe that the use of herbal medicine and remedies is a traditional practice that
pregnant women need to follow due to culture’. The cultural beliefs and practices of the
women were deeply rooted in Basotho culture, which guided the use of herbal medicine.
However, some considered herbal medicines to be harmful, as the dosage and content
of these medicines vary. Nurses are therefore key to providing culturally sensitive health
care advise on using herbal medicine during pregnancy. / Boithuto bona ba boleng bo botle, bo hlalosang le ho fumaneng tlhaiso-leseling e mabapi

Factors influencing utilization of oral health services in LesothoLinjewile-Marealle, Navoneiwa January 2017 (has links)
Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health) / The oral health programme in Lesotho aims to offer curative, preventive, promotive and
rehabilitative oral health services. However, observations as well as annual reports suggest that
oral health service utilization is poor, as most patients only attend dental clinics with advanced
stages of decayed teeth which can only be extracted. The reasons for this very undesirable late
utilization of oral health services have not been systematically explored and understood in
Lesotho. This makes it difficult for health planners to find solutions for improving access,
utilizations and responsiveness of oral health services.

Collaboration between traditional healers and nurse practitioners in primary health care in Maseru Health Service Area - LesothoMakoa, E. T. 02 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the existing relationship between
traditional healers and nurse practitioners in Maseru Health Service Area in Lesotho and
also to determine why people consult traditional healers. Qualitative and quantitative
methods were used to investigate the relationship between traditional healers and nurse
practitioners and also to determine why people utilize the services of traditional healers.
The study was limited to Maseru Health Service Area in Lesotho. Data was collected
from twenty-seven (27) nurses from nineteen (19) clinics and from thirty (30) traditional
healers from the same health service area. Data from traditional healers was collected
using semi-structured interviews while nurse practitioners were given a questionnaire to
complete. The study revealed that there was no formal relationship between traditional healers and
nurse practitioners. Support for traditional healers was revealed to be limited, for
example, only four (14.8%) nurses had a programme for traditional healers while twenty
( 66.7%) traditional healers did not have any contact with nurse practitioners.
Involvement of traditional healers in primary health care at grassroots level has therefore
been very minimal.
The reasons why people utilize traditional healers were found to be as follows:
• When people think they have been bewitched.
• Traditional healers can tell the actual cause of disease
• Failure of modern practice
• For social problems
According to the study, both traditional healers and nurse practitioners felt that
collaboration between traditional healers and nurse practitioners was essential because it
would enable planned referral of patients from one group to another where necessary; it
would also facilitate exchange of ideas and knowledge for the benefit of the people
served. Recommendations on collaboration and on support systems are given in Chapter
Six. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Nursing Science)
