Students' perception of space at the Central University of Technology (Bloemfontein) and Free State School of Nursing Campuses : an exploratory studyBiyane, Gideon January 2007 (has links)
A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Masters in Counselling Psychology in the Department of Psychology, University of Zululand, 2007. / Institutions of higher learning are faced with ever decreasing space to and from classes, libraries, offices and other facilities. This exploratory study was concerned with the perception of space by students as they constitute the majority in the institutions of higher learning. Two institutions Central University of Technology (Bloemfontein) and Free State School of Nursing campuses were involved in this study. There were 150 subjects who participated in the study, 70 were males and 80 were females. The age range of the participants was 18 to 38 years. The 150 sample of students who participated in the study, 50 were from Free State School of Nursing while 100 were from Central University of Technology. Students' perception on providing space for others was that students seem to be disrespectful of other people's space and the results were statistically significant (p<0.001). With regard to the behaviour displayed by students on campus in relation to space, about sixty nine (69.3%) of the respondents, agreed that they had been asked by other students to give space while about fifty four percent (54.7%) agreed that they were asked by lecturers to give space. Statistically this was approaching a level of statistical significance (p<0.020). Interesting results (52%), suggest that among the cultural groups in the South African context, Blacks seem to be poor in space perception. / National Research Foundation
