Among the proposals strategies are the "School Projects". This research appears from the staff need evidenced in the development of practice of the researcher in recent years as Pedagogical Advisor in high school. The comments made in the daily work on the kinds of projects and how they were developed in the school, generated concerns. They aroused the interest in further the discussion, aiming to reflect with teachers about the implementation of a pedagogic action on the use of educational projects in the classroom, as a didactic strategy which promotes the learning of students. In this sense, it seeks to develop studies and discussions by the application of questionnaires and the holding of a workshop with teachers in the area of Science of Nature and Mathematics in private high school institutions from Natal, searching opinions of them as the preparation and development of school projects. As general purpose, it aims to contribute with elements to the reflection of the teachers on the use of this strategy of education. For both, we propose: the knowledge of ideas/opinions of teachers on planning, development and evaluation of projects, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, identifying the main difficulties of these teachers about the work with projects at school; reviewing projects developed at school after the press conference in a meeting with teachers, incorporating the identified aspects as weak points. In the course of the methodology research, questionnaires were used with open and closed questions for the lifting of preliminary ideas for teachers in order to subsidize the planning of a developed meeting later in the school itself on the subject in question. 10 teachers took part of the first step and 17 in the second one (pressconference). In the third stage, an individual interview was carried out and analysis of projects already developed. It is observed that, as the main difficulty for the development of projects in school, pointed to the time factor in the planning team, followed by excessive working hours for teachers that, generally, also work in other schools. Some teachers say they do not develop projects for not having knowledge of how to develop school projects, neither disciplinary, nor interdisciplinary / Documentos oficiais sinalizam para uma organiza??o curricular que promova o di?logo entre diferentes ?reas do conhecimento. Dentre as estrat?gias propostas encontram-se os Projetos escolares . A presente pesquisa surge a partir da necessidade pessoal evidenciada no desenvolvimento da pr?tica da pesquisadora, nos ?ltimos anos, como Orientadora Pedag?gica no Ensino M?dio. As observa??es feitas no cotidiano do trabalho quanto aos tipos de projetos e a forma como esses eram desenvolvidos na escola, geraram inquietudes. Estas despertaram o interesse em aprofundar a discuss?o, visando refletir, junto aos professores, sobre a implementa??o de uma a??o pedag?gica quanto ? utiliza??o de projetos em sala de aula, como estrat?gia did?tica que favore?a a aprendizagem dos alunos. Nesse sentido, busca-se desenvolver estudos e debates por meio da aplica??o de question?rios e da realiza??o de uma oficina com professores da ?rea de Ci?ncias da Natureza e da Matem?tica no Ensino M?dio de uma escola da rede particular da cidade de Natal, a partir do levantamento das opini?es dos mesmos quanto ? elabora??o e desenvolvimento de projetos escolares. Como objetivo geral, visa contribuir com elementos para a reflex?o dos professores sobre o uso dessa estrat?gia de ensino. Para tanto, prop?e-se: conhecer as id?ias/opini?es dos professores sobre planejamento, desenvolvimento e avalia??o de projetos, tanto disciplinares como interdisciplinares; identificar as principais dificuldades desses professores sobre o trabalho com projetos na escola; rever projetos desenvolvidos na escola ap?s a realiza??o da entrevista coletiva em um encontro com os professores, retomando os aspectos identificados como pontos fr?geis. No percurso metodol?gico da pesquisa, foram utilizados question?rios com perguntas abertas e fechadas para o levantamento das id?ias pr?vias dos professores, no intuito de subsidiar o planejamento de um encontro desenvolvido posteriormente na pr?pria escola sobre o tema em quest?o. Participaram da 1? etapa 10 professores e da 2? (entrevista coletiva), 17 professores. Na terceira etapa foi realizada uma entrevista individual e an?lise de projetos j? desenvolvidos. Observa-se que, como principal dificuldade para o desenvolvimento de projetos na escola, surgiu o fator tempo para o planejamento em equipe, seguida da carga hor?ria excessiva dos professores que, geralmente, tamb?m trabalham em outras escolas. Alguns professores afirmam n?o desenvolverem projetos por n?o terem conhecimento de como se elaborar projetos escolares, quer sejam disciplinares, quer sejam interdisciplinares.

No dia-a-dia da sala de aula, quando propõe situações de aprendizagem, o professor fica surpreso em constatar que os alunos desenvolvem uma série de condutas. Algumas, que não parecem muito lógicas, revelam-se eficazes, ao passo que outras, aparentemente mais adequadas, dão resultados desconcertantes. Como compreender o que o aluno faz ou quis fazer? Como perceber suas verdadeiras aprendizagens? Nesse contexto que este trabalho teve como foco principal a investigação sobre como promover e evidenciar, por meio de estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem mediadas pelas TIC, processos metacognitivos nos sujeitos em ADA/AVA. Para responder a questão norteadora, estudos sobre processo de internalização, metacognição, mediação e estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem foram realizados sob uma perspectiva sóciointeracionista. O presente trabalho estruturou-se num estudo de caso (multicasos) de três alunos de ensino fundamental que participaram de um programa social na cidade de Novo Hamburgo. Os resultados mostraram que as estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem Tempestade Cerebral, Portfólio, Solução de Problemas e Mapas Conceituais, através de ações mediadas em ambientes ADA/AVA, evidenciam e promovem processos metacognitivos. / The teacher may surprised to find out that students develop a series of pipes, when he offers learning situations on day-to-day classroom. Some, that do not seem very logical, are prove effective, while others, seemingly more appropriate, have confusing results. How to understand what students do or wanted to do? How to realize their true learning? In this context this study was focus ,researching on how to promote and demonstrate through strategies of teaching/learning ,mediated by ICT, in the individual metacognitive processes through digital and virtual learning environment. To answer the research question, studies on internalization process, metacognition, mediation and teaching/learning strategies are carried out under a socio-interactionist perspective. This work was structured in a case study (multicases) of three primary school students who participated in a social program in the city of Novo Hamburgo. The results showed the strategy of teaching and learning: Brainstorm, Portfolio, Problem Solving and Conceptual Maps, through actions mediated in digital and virtual learning environments showing and promoting metacognition process.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Marcelo Oliveira da Costa Pires / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Mestrado Nacional Profissional em Ensino de Física - MNPEF, 2017. / Os estudantes de Ensino Médio tem como discurso relacionar as ondas eletromagnéticas como sendo a luz nas aulas de Física e nas diversas situações do cotidiano. Porém não é claro para o interlocutor se essa associação é de fato um fruto de um pensamento racional ou de um pensamento incorporado pela repetição. Para qualificar e quantificar essa diferença, propomos uma sequência didática assistida por três experimentos que mostram a associação da onda eletromagnética com a luz. Essa intervenção didática é baseada nos três momentos pedagógicos sugerido por Delizoicov, Angotti e Pernambuco por ser uma ferramenta im de ser um instrumento para a dialogicidade entre o professor e os alunos. Sugerimos a aplicação dessa proposta aos alunos do segundo ano do ensino médio. Esperamos que após a aplicação desse produto, o conceito de onda eletromagnética e sua relação com a luz visível e não visível seja quantificado e qualificado. / The students of High School has like discourse to relate the electromagnetic waves like being the light in the classes of Physics and in the diverse situations of the quotidian. But it is not clear to the interlocutor whether this association is in fact a fruit of a rational thought or a thought embodied by repetition. To qualify and quantify this difference, we propose a didactic sequence assisted by three experiments that show the association of the electromagnetic wave with light. This didactic intervention is based on the three pedagogical moments suggested by Delizoicov, Angotti and Pernambuco as an important tool and an excellent strategy for systematizing learning, as well as being an instrument for dialogue between teacher and students. We suggest the application of this proposal to the students of the second year of high school. We hope that after the application of this product, the concept of electromagnetic wave and its relation with visible and non-visible light will be quantified and qualified.

Tendo como foco buscar compreender a relação entre homem e máquina durante a prática educacional de professores e estudantes de Cálculo. Para isso, partimos da hipótese de que as ocorrências dessas relações possam estar sendo ocasionadas pela disseminação e apropriação das tecnologias digitais perante a sociedade. Nesse âmbito, evidenciase um aprimoramento da forma de realizar operações matemáticas por meio dos aplicativos instalados nos aparelhos móveis. Para compreensão deste questionamento a pesquisa utilizou-se de dois cenários de investigação como procedimentos metodológicos, sendo um formado por entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis professores de Cálculo, com intuito de investigar o que esses professores sabem, pensam e acham sobre sua prática e a técnica de realizar operações matemáticas por meio das influências das TIC. E outro para análise das influências das TIC nas estratégias de aprendizagem dos estudantes, por meio de um questionário on-line. Mediante aos procedimentos e as análises das entrevistas e do questionário, os resultados mostram que foi possível verificar o reconhecimento desses novos instrumentos em meio às estratégias de aprendizagem dos estudantes, mas fora das estratégias dos professores, confirmando que a influência da técnica exposta poderá ou talvez já possa estar sendo mais uma problemática para o ensino e aprendizagem da matemática. Com esta consequência, podemos dizer que a transferência do esforço material e mental para as máquinas retrata uma situação auspiciosa e tem em princípio o valor de libertação ao homem requisitando, neste momento, estudos e pesquisas para que professores possam conhecer e saberem como trabalhar com essas máquinas de calcular para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, de modo a gerar aprendizagens significativas além das atividades procedimentais do somente calcular. / The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze "What are the influences of Information and Communication Technologies in Differential and Integral Calculus Teaching and Learning Strategies". With the aim of understanding the relationship between man and machine during the educational practice of teachers and students of Calculus. For this, we start from the hypothesis that the occurrences of these relations may be caused by the dissemination and appropriation of digital technologies in society. In this context, it is evident an improvement in the way of performing mathematical operations through the applications installed in mobile devices. In order to understand this questioning, the research used two research scenarios as methodological procedures, one consisting of semi-structured interviews with six Calculus teachers, in order to investigate what these teachers know, think and think about their practice and the technique of Mathematical operations through the influences of TIC. And another to analyze the influences of TIC in student learning strategies, through an online questionnaire. Through the procedures and analyzes of the interviews and the questionnaire, the results show that it was possible to verify the recognition of these new instruments in the student learning strategies, but outside of the teachers' strategies, confirming that the influence of the exposed technique may or may not May already be more problematic for the teaching and learning of mathematics. With this consequence, we can say that the transfer of the material and mental effort to the machines portrays an auspicious situation and has in principle the value of liberation to the man requesting, at the moment, studies and researches for teachers to know how to work with these calculating machines for The process of teaching and learning, in order to generate meaningful learning beyond the procedural activities of the only calculate.

Abstract is in English, Zulu and Xhosa / In Ghanaian primary schools, music is a compulsory study area which is taught by generalist teachers. However, information is deficient on the strategies teachers use to implement the music curriculum. The aim of this study was to determine how teachers organise musical learning experiences in terms of developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) for lower primary school pupils. DAP is an educational concept which refers to teaching strategies that consider children’s age, abilities, interests and experiences, to help them achieve challenging and achievable goals. The study was underpinned by the concept of teaching within the context of constructivist theory. Qualitative Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and ethnographic research methods were used to find answers to the research questions. Data were collected by means of observations, interviews and document analysis. Singing, movements and the playing of improvised instruments (although they constitute only a part of the planned music curriculum in the Creative Arts syllabus) dominate the music activities provided in the schools. In fact, unplanned music activities dominate planned music lessons due to teachers’ perceived lack of adequate training to teach music, the non-application of ICT in teaching, a lack of teaching and learning materials, unsuitable physical conditions for teaching, lack of motivation and support to teach, and lack of time to teach music because of the emphasis on meeting the targets of teaching and assessment in core subjects. Strategies the teachers adopt to overcome the challenges they encounter in teaching music include collaboration with their colleagues in planning, teaching and integrating music into most classroom activities and drawing on pupils’ expertise in teaching and learning. It is recommended that teachers be given in-service training, that specialist teachers be used, and that adequate teaching and learning materials be provided, as well as support for teachers to integrate ICT in teaching music. Limitations associated with the study make generalisation of the findings impossible. A larger sample from various primary schools within the Ashanti region of Ghana should be considered for further research. Functional integration of music in the other subject areas within the Ghanaian context should also be explored and further studies should be conducted about the application of developmentally appropriate practice in teaching music in the lower-primary classroom. / Ezikoleni zamabanga aphansi zaseGhana, umculo uyindawo eyimpoqo yokufunda efundiswa ngothisha abajwayelekile. Kodwa-ke, ulwazi alwanele ngamasu othisha abawasebenzisayo ukwenza izifundo zomculo. Inhloso yalolu cwaningo kwakuwukuthola ukuthi othisha bahlela kanjani amava okufunda omculo ngokwendlela efanelekile yokuthuthuka (NET) yabafundi bezikole zamabanga aphansi. NET ingumqondo wezemfundo obhekisa kumasu okufundisa abheka iminyaka yezingane, amakhono, izintshisekelo kanye nezipiliyoni ezithile, ukuzisiza ukuthi zifeze izinhloso eziyinselele futhi ezingafinyeleleka.Ucwaningo lwalusekelwa ngumqondo wokufundisa ngokwengqikithi yethiyori yokwakha. Ukuhlaziywa Okufanelekile Kokuhunyushelwa Kokubukeka Kwabantu nezindlela zokucwaninga ngobuzwe zisetshenzisiwe ukuthola izimpendulo zemibuzo yocwaningo. Kuye kwaqoqwa imininingwane yolwazi ngokubheka okwenzekayo, izinhlolokhono kanye nokuhlaziywa kwemibhalo. Ukucula, ukunyakaza nokudlalwa kwezinsimbi ezithuthukisiwe (yize ziyingxenye nje kuphela zekharikhulamu yomculo ehleliwe kusilabhasi Yezobuciko Bokuzenzela) kulawula imisebenzi yomculo enikezwe ezikoleni. Empeleni, imisebenzi yomculo engahlelwanga ilawula izifundo zomculo ezihleliwe ngenxa yokungabi bikho kothisha abaqeqeshwe ngokwanele ukufundisa umculo, ukungasetshenziswa kwe- ICT/Ezobuchwepheshe ekufundiseni, ukuntuleka kwezinto zokufundisa nokufunda, izimo ezzibambekayo ezingafanelekile zokufundisa, ukungabi nogqozi nokusekelwa ekufundiseni, nokungabi nesikhathi sokufundisa umculo ngenxa yokugcizelelwa ekuhlangabezaneni nezinhloso zokufundisa nokuhlola ezifundweni ezibalulekile. Amasu othisha abawasebenzisayo ukunqoba izinselelo abahlangabezana nazo ekufundiseni umculo kufaka phakathi ukusebenzisana nozakwabo ekuhleleni, ukufundisa nokuhlanganisa umculo emisebenzini eminingi yasekilasini nokudweba ubuchwepheshe babafundi ekufundiseni nasekufundeni. Kunconywa ukuthi othisha banikezwe ukuqeqeshwa emsebenzini, ukuthi kusetshenziswe othisha abangochwepheshe, nokuthi kuhlinzekwe ngezinto ezanele zokufundisa nokufunda, kanye nokuxhaswa kothisha ukuze bahlanganise i-ICT/Ezobuchwepheshe ekufundiseni umculo. Ukulinganiselwa okuhambisana nesifundo kwenza ukuthi okwenziwa jikelele kokutholakale kungenzeki. Isampula elikhudlwana elivela ezikoleni ezahlukahlukene zamabanga aphansi esifundeni sase-Ashanti eGhana kufanele licatshangwe ukuqhubeka nocwaningo. Ukuhlanganiswa kokusebenza komculo kwezinye izindawo ezingaphansi komongo waseGhana nakho kufanele kuhlolwe futhi kufanele kuqhutshekwe nezifundo ezimayelana nokusetshenziswa kwenqubo efanelekile yentuthuko ekufundiseni umculo ekilasini lamabanga aphansi. / Kwizikolo zaseGhana zamabanga asezantsi, kusisinyanzelo ukufundisa umculo, kwaye oku kwenziwa ngabafundisi ntsapho okanye ootitshala abafundisa yonke into. Noxa kunjalo, akukho lwazi lwaneleyo ngamacebo asetyenziswa ziititshala ekufundiseni ikharityhulam yomculo. Injongo yesi sifundo kukuqwalasela ukuba iititshala zikulungiselela njani ukufundisa ngendlela yophuhliso olufanelekileyo (iDAP) kumabanga asezantsi. Le DAP nesisishunqulelo sesiNgesi sebinza elithi developmentally appropriate practice, yingcinga yezemfundo emalunga namacebo okufundisa athathela ingqalelo ubudala bomntwana, izinto akwaziyo ukuzenza, umdla namava akhe, ukuze ancedwe ekufezekiseni iinjongo ezicela umngeni nezinokufikeleleka. Esi sifundo sisekelwe yingcinga yokufundisa ephuma kwimeko yengcingane yokuzakhela ulwazi. Iimpendulo zophando zifunyenwe ngokusebenzisa iindlela zophando ngokuxoxa nokutolika iimeko ezahlukeneyo (Qualitative Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) kunye nokuqwalasela inkcubeko. Iinkcukacha zolwazi okanye idatha, ziqokelelwe ngokujonga okuqhubekayo, udliwano ndlebe nokuphengulula imibhalo ekhoyo. Ukucula, ukushukuma nokudlala izixhobo zomculo ezingoozenzele (nangona ziyinxalenye yekharityhulam ecetywayo yobuGcisa Bokuzenzela) kudlala indima eyongameleyo kwimisebenzi yomculo eyenziwa ezikolweni. Xa sithetha inyaniso, into eyenzekayo ekufundiseni umculo yimisebenzi engacetywanga ezifundweni ngenxa yokuba ootitshala abaqeqeshekanga kakuhle ekufundiseni umculo, abusetyenziswa ubuchwepheshe ekufundiseni umculo, azikho izixhobo zokufundisa nokufunda umculo, iindawo ekufundiselwa kuzo azifanelekanga, inkxaso nenkuthazo yokufundisa umculo iyasilela kwaye lincinci ixesha lokufundisa umculo ngenxa yokuleqa ukufezekisa imiqathango yokufundisa nokuhlola kwizifundo ezingoondoqo. Ekulweni nemingeni yokufundisa umculo, ootitshala babhenela ekusebenzisaneni nabanye ekwenzeni amacebo okufundisa nokubandakanya umculo kwimisebenzi yeklasi nasekusebenziseni ulwazi lwabafundi. Kucetyiswa ukuba ootitshala bafumane uqeqesho lo gama besebenza, kusetyenziswe ootitshala abaziingcali zomculo kwaye kufumaneke izixhobo ezifanelekileyo zokufundisa nokufunda, kuxhaswe ootitshala ekusebenziseni ubuchwepheshe xa befundisa umculo. Ukunqaba kolwazi okungqonge esi sifundo kwenza kube nzima ukugqiba jikelele ngokufunyanisiweyo. Mhlawumbi kunokuthathwa isampulu yophando enkulu kwingingqi yaseAshanti eGhana ukuze kwandiswe olu phando. Okunye okunokwenziwa kukuhlanganisa umculo nezinye izifundo ngokwemeko yaseGhana, kwaye kufuneka kuqhutywe izifundo ezithe chatha malunga nokusebenzisa iindlela zokufundisa ezinophuhliso olufanelekileyo ekufundiseni umculo kwiklasi yamabanga asezantsi. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / Ph D.

Abstracts in English, Zulu and Afrikaans / The worldwide growth of open distance and e-Learning cannot be denied, nor can it remain unnoticed. In the South African setting, which is the focus of this study, the increasingly high demand for higher education has also led to the development of distance education. However, the throughput rate for this mode of education has been consistently unimpressive for over a decade and this has led to high dropout rates. There is cause for concern regarding how best to assist students and improve throughput. Therefore, this research has focused on identifying strategies that can be incorporated to support sustained learning in South African ODeL. It considers issues such as the social inequalities, previous disadvantages, and ICT affordances that characterise South African ODeL students. This research took a qualitative research approach, using a case study that was conducted as a dissertation of limited scope. The aim was to unveil the best approaches that could be incorporated in South African ODeL in order to support sustained learning. The study attempted to understand such strategies, based on students' perceptions and reflections on their experiences while studying first-level modules in distance education. The case for this research study was the University of South Africa (UNISA), where eight student participants were interviewed, using semi-structured interviews to collect data. The findings of this study revealed that there are some readily available resources that the institution and instructors can use to promote sustained learning and improve student throughput. This research recommends frequent student surveys to discover student needs and the challenges that they experience. It also recommends improved communication with students, provision of financial aid, development of open educational resources (OERs), ensuring rapid delivery of study material, and the use of different methods of delivering learning content. It is important to note that the findings of this dissertation are of limited scope and cannot be generalised to the issues affecting the majority of South African ODeL students – this because the study was carried out at one institution and involved just one module and eight participants. However, these findings have the potential to enlighten ODeL stakeholders as to matters affecting some of their students. The findings could also provide valuable information for future large-scale research. / Ukudlondlobala kohlelo kohlelo lwemfundo evulekile nokufunda kude kanye nohlelo lwe-inthanethi akunakuphikiswa, futhi angeke kwathathwa sengathi akunakiwe. Ngokwesizinda seNingizimu Afrika, esiyindikimba yalolu cwaningo, izinga elikhulayo lokufuneka kwemfundo ephakeme nakho sekuholele ekukhuleni kwemfundo yokufunda ukude.Yize-kunjalo, izinga legalelo lalolu hlelo lwemfundo kudala lubonakala lungeluhle esikhathini esingaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi kanti lokhu sekuholele ekutheni kwehle izinga labafundi abayeka ukufunda. Kunomnako mayelana nendlela nokuthi abafundi bangancedwa kangcono kangakanani ukuze bathuthukise izinga labo lokusebenza. Ngakho-ke, lolu cwaningo selugxile ekutholeni amasu lawo angasetshenziswa ukuxhasa imfundo esimelele ohlelweni lwe-ODeL lwaseNingizimu Afrika. Lokhu kufaka izindaba ezinjengokungalingani komphakathi, ukuncishwa kwamathuba esikhathini esedlule, kanye nokwazi ukukhokhela uhlelo lwe-ICT okuwuhlelo oluyinsika kubafundi bohlelo lwe-ODeL eNingizimu Afrika. Lolu cwaningo lulandele indlela yocwaningo eyencike kwizinga lengxoxo (qualitative), ngokusebenzisa ucwaningo lotho olwenziwa njengedezetheshini enobukhulu obunqunyiwe. Inhloso kwaye kuwukuveza izindlela ezingcono ebezingafakwa kwi-ODeL yaseNingizimu Afrika, ukuxhasa imfundo imfundo esimelele. Ucwaningo beluzama ukuzwisisa amasu anjalo, asuselwa phezu kwemiqondo yabafundi kanye nokubheka ulwazi lwabo kube ngakolunye uhlangothi bafunda omojuli besigaba sokuqala sohlelo lwemfundo yokufunda kude. Ucwaningo lotho lwalesi sifundo lwenziwa eNyuvesi yaseNingizimu Afrika (UNISA), lapho abafundi abayisishiyagalombili befakwa imibuzo yenhlolovo, ngokusebenzisa inhlolovo yesakhiwo sikanxambili ngenhloso yokuqoqa idatha. Ulwazi olutholwe yilolu cwaningo luye lwaveza ukuthi kunemithombo elungisiwe esesimeni esifanele engasetshenziswa yiziko kanye nabayaleli ukuthuthukisa uhlelo lokufunda olusimelele kanye nokuthuthukisa umsebenzi wabafundi. Lolu cwaningo luncoma amasaveyi enziwa njalo abafundi ukubona izidingo zabafundi kanye nezinselelo abafundi abahlangabezana nazo. Ucwaningo luphinda futhi luncoma uhlelo oluhle lokuxhumana nabafundi, ukuhlinzekwa ngosizo lwezimali, ukuthuthukiswa kwemithombo yemfundo evulekile (OER), ukuqinisekisa kohlelo olusheshayo lokuhlinzekwa. ngomatheriyeli wokufunda, kanye nokusebenzisa izindlela ezahlukene zokwethula indikimba yokufundwayo. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ulwazi olufunyenwe lwedizetheshini wulwazi oluncane olubekelwe imingcele kanti lolu lwazi angeke lwafaniswa nodaba oluthinta iningi labafundi base-ODeL yaseNingizimu Afrika – lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ucwaningo lwenziwa kwiziko elilodwa futhi lwaxuba umojuli owodwa kanye nabadlalindima abayisishiyagalombili. Yize-kunjalo, lolu lwazi olutholakele lunethuba lokukhanyisela abasebenzisani njengezinto ezithinta abanye babafundi. Ulwazi olutholakele belunganikeza ulwazi olusemqoka mayelana nocwaningo olubanzi olungenziwa esikhathini esizayo. / Wêreldwyd het oopafstand- en e-leer groei ervaar wat nie ontken kan word of ongesiens kan bly nie. In die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks, wat die fokus van hierdie studie is, het die toenemende vraag na hoër onderwys ook tot die ontwikkeling van afstandsonderrig gelei. Die slaagsyfer vir hierdie vorm van onderrig is egter al vir langer as ʼn dekade deurlopend onindrukwekkend, en dit het tot hoë uitsaksyfers gelei. Daar is rede tot kommer rakende die beste maniere om studente by te staan en die slaagsyfer te verbeter. Die fokus van hierdie navorsing was daarom op die identifisering van strategieë wat geïnkorporeer kan word om volgehoue leer in Suid-Afrikaanse oopafstand- en e-leer te ondersteun. Die volgende kwessies is ondersoek: die sosiale ongelykhede, benadeling in die verlede, en IKT-status wat met Suid-Afrikaanse oopafstand- en e-leer-studente geassosieer word. ʼn Kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering is gevolg; ʼn gevallestudie wat uitgevoer is, is in die verhandeling van beperkte omvang gebruik. Die doel was om die beste benaderings te bepaal wat in Suid-Afrikaanse oopafstand- en e-leer geïnkorporeer kan word om volgehoue leer te ondersteun. Tydens die studie is daar gepoog om sodanige strategieë te verstaan op grond van studente se persepsies en hul refleksie op hul ervarings terwyl hulle eerstejaarmodules deur afstandonderrig studeer het. Die geval wat in hierdie navorsing bestudeer is, is dié van die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika (Unisa), waar daar semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude met agt studentedeelnemers gevoer is om data in te samel. Die bevindinge van hierdie studie het getoon dat daar geredelik beskikbare hulpbronne is wat deur die instelling en die onderriggewers ingespan kan word om volgehoue leer te bevorder en die studente se slaagsyfers te verbeter. Op grond van hierdie navorsing word aanbeveel dat opnames gereeld onder studente gemaak word om hulle behoeftes en uitdagings te bepaal. Verdere aanbevelings sluit in verbeterde kommunikasie met studente, voorsiening van finansiële steun, ontwikkeling van oop opvoedkundige hulpbronne, versekering van spoedige lewering van studiemateriaal, en die gebruik van verskillende metodes om leerinhoud te lewer. Dit is belangrik om te besef dat die bevindinge van hierdie verhandeling beperk in omvang is en nie veralgemeen kan word om die kwessies in te sluit wat die meerderheid van Suid-Afrikaanse oopafstand- en e-leer-studente raak nie – aangesien die studie by een instelling uitgevoer is en slegs een module en agt deelnemers behels het. Hierdie bevindinge het egter die potensiaal om vir oopafstand- en e-leer-belanghebbers lig te werp op kwessies wat sommige van hul studente raak. Die bevindinge kan ook waardevolle inligting vir toekomstige grootskaalse navorsing oplewer. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Open Distance Learning)
