The efficacy of the Department of Education's response to HIV/AIDS in changing educators' and learners' risk behavioursGovender, Managay Sharon, South Africa. Dept. of National Education. 30 June 2003 (has links)
The aim of this study was to firstly examine via a literature study, the response of the South African Department of Education (DoE) to HIV/AIDS. This required contextualizing this response in national as well as global terms. South African policies that impact on HIV/AIDS and the role of stakeholders in Education were focussed on. The various models of health behaviours were also examined.
The efficacy of the Department of Education's response was then evaluated by conducting an empirical study at selected schools. Areas focussed on were: educators' and learners' knowledge of HIV/AIDS-related issues, their attitudes to HIV/AIDS and persons with HIV/AIDS, as well as their health behaviours.
Research findings indicated that HIV/AIDS-related policies in Education were in place since 1999. The DoE, however, had not communicated these policies effectively to educators and learners, who were therefore unaware of the Universal Precautions related to safer behaviour practices in respect of HIV/AIDS. The DoE had not been effective in its response to HIV/AIDS in changing educator' and learners' risk behaviours. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

An investigation into the risk behaviour regarding HIV transmission among youth in BulawayoBanana, Catrine 30 November 2007 (has links)
The study sought to explore and describe the risk behaviour regarding HIV transmission among youth in Bulawayo, their knowledge of HIV transmission and the sources of information on HIV transmission accessible to them. A quantitative, descriptive exploratory design was used and 238 youth from three secondary schools in Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe were the respondents. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used to facilitate and acquire insight into the risk behaviour among the youth.
The inferences drawn from the study were that youth have inadequate knowledge about HIV transmission and therefore do not fully understand their risk of infection. Youth also find shyness and fear of rejection serious barriers to communicating openly about sexuality, sexual and HIV/AIDS issues. The findings of the study have implications for programmes to limit HIV transmission among youth and should assist policymakers and educators in developing and implementing such programmes in order to improve the health of youth in Zimbabwe. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

The implementation of the Integrated School Health Policy in primary schools of Region C in the Gauteng ProvinceLenkokile, Mosetsanagape Rebecca 10 1900 (has links)
The primary aim of this study is to describe and explain the extent of which school managers and primary healthcare facility managers possess knowledge and awareness of their roles in the implementation of the Integrated School Health Policy in Region C in the Gauteng Provincial Department of Basic Education. The study used a qualitative research method by which semi-structured interviews were conducted using a descriptive and explanative design. A sample of ten respondents was elected using a purposive sampling strategy and conventional or content analysis was utilised in the interpretation and analysis of data. The main findings of the study revealed that managers know their role in the implementation of the policy. Although managers are aware of their important roles; they are unable to fulfil them due to a lack of skills. Therefore, the study recommends that the Department of Health and the Department of Basic Education should ensure that managers are skilled and more knowledgeable in implementing the policy objectives. / Public Administration and Operations Management / M.

Managing the counselling of primary school learners affected by HIV/AIDSTikana, Nobulungisa 04 1900 (has links)
In the light of the HIVAIDS pandemic in South Africa and its potential impact on
learners, counselling is still the best available tool that can be used by the school
management team to deal with the loss, pain, trauma and suffering experienced by
the lear:ners. This study focuses on the role and functions of the school management
team in managing the counselling of primary school learners affected by HIV/AIDS in
Mount Ayliff District in the Eastern Cape, using a literature review and empirical·
investigation. The former discusses the HIV/AIDS phenomenon, school policy on
HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS counselling, and the role and functions of the school
management team in managing school counselling services. Egan's model, known
as the skilled helper model was used to provide an understanding of counselling
services.
A qualitative study investigated the views of a sample of management teams of
three primary schools in Mount Ayliff District in the Eastern Cape. Sites and
participants were selected by purposeful sampling. Data were collected by use of indepth
interviews with two principals, two deputy principals, four heads of
departments (HODs) and one senior teacher. All the interviews were tape-recorded
and transcribed. Notes were also taken to supplement the audio-tapes. The data
were later analysed.
Essentially, findings illustrated that the school management team has a critical role
in ensuring the provision of effective counselling services to those learners who are
affected by HIV/AIDS. The data further reflected the importance of a school
counsellor, an HIV/AIDS school policy and the Department of Education's
intervention in training and empowering the management team in effectively
managing the ravages of HIV/AIDS in schools. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Education Management)

Life coaching for female high school learners : a case study in Gauteng provincePreston, Candice 09 1900 (has links)
This research aimed to investigate how life coaching influenced five female high school learners (aged 16 and 17 years old) at an independent school in Gauteng province. The learners attended four life-coaching sessions with an experienced and accredited life coach over a period of eight weeks. Data was collected from a literature review of previous research on life coaching and coaching in general, interviews with the learners both before and after the life coaching experience and from journal entries kept by the learners during the process. All learners learnt through the process and experienced positive changes in their lives. This included improved balance in their lives; improved time management, reduced stress and more positive mind-sets. They were able to set goals and achieve some success during the process. They expressed increased confidence in themselves and their abilities to overcome challenges in their lives and recommended life coaching for other learners. / Educational Management and Leadership / M.

The evaluation of the implementation of HIV-AIDS policies at school level with particular focus on discrimination and stigma amongst educatorsMokwatlo, Elizabeth Maboakae 30 June 2006 (has links)
Against the background of evidence that HIV-AIDS has had and continues to have
an enormous impact on all South African schools, a need has arisen for HIV -AIDS
policies and programmes to be effectively implemented in all schools. In this study, a
qualitative methodology was used to evaluate policy implementation in the North
West province. Data was gathered by means of field notes, observation and
interviews with management and educators. The study found that although principals
and educators are knowledgeable about HIV -AIDS, there is a tendency to
discriminate against infected educators, particularly in terms of educator workload.
This study also revealed that educators fear being accidentally exposed to HIV -AIDS
infected blood, despite the guidelines given in the National HIV -AIDS policy and the
availability of emergency first aid kits. The key thought emerging from this study is
that not all schools are able to deal effectively with HIV -AIDS and that schools
urgently need to plan or implement their own policies in this regard. School-based
HIV-AIDS policies can only be successful if they take cognisance of local contextual
issues and involve the three spheres of influence in the lives of educators and
learners, namely, the sphere of the school, the sphere of family life and the sphere of
the community. / Sociology / M.A.(Social and Behavioural Studies in HIV-AIDS)
