A sample survey of the career maturity of disadvantaged learners in the Western CapeMiller, Annette 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA(Industrial Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / Organisations have come to exist for a definite purpose, which is to combine and transform scarce factors of
production into products and services with maximum economic utility. They strive to attain the highest
possible output of need satisfying products and/or services with the lowest possible input of production
factors.
In order to achieve the level of growth and development required to enable it to compete in a climate of fierce
international competition from other developed countries, post – apartheid South Africa needs a focused,
motivated and skilled workforce. Yet, the current reality is often that of South African companies’ being
handicapped by an under-skilled and, frequently, under-performing workforce.
In addition, tertiary institutions experience low pass rates and high attrition rates among previously
disadvantaged students, despite efforts to provide extra academic support and enrichment programmes.
In this study, it is believed that one aspect of the difficult that many disadvantaged students have to achieve
either in tertiary study or in the workplace, can be attributed to the lack of career maturity of such learners to
make optimal career choices.
The main objective of this study was to perform an audit of levels of career maturity of a sample of
disadvantaged learners from the Western Cape. Another goal of the research was to attempt to investigate
some envisaged determinants of career maturity in an effort to isolate those that presented as having the
strongest influence on career maturity levels. A model was developed to illustrate these determinants and their
envisaged effect which was tested among previously disadvantaged learners in the Western Cape.

Experiences of student peer helpers in an open distance learning institutionMabizela, Sfiso Emmanuel 02 1900 (has links)
Text in English / The primary aim of this study is to explore and describe experiences of peer helpers at an Open Distance Learning institution since the start of their joining the Unisa Peer Help Volunteer Programme. This study was conducted with the intention of granting the peer helpers an opportunity to reflect on their individual experiences and in so doing in laying the foundation for future studies, intended to steer the Unisa peer help volunteer programme to new frontiers, while simultaneously highlighting the contribution that has been made by the Unisa Peer Help Voluntary Programme. An intrinsic case study design has been utilised in order to gain comprehensive insight into peer helpers’ experiences. A sample of seven peer helpers were interviewed using the semi-structured interview technique. The main findings from this study can be categorised into four distinctive themes namely: (a) the peer helpers’ goals for joining the Unisa Peer Help Volunteer Programme; (b) construction of roles as peer helpers at an open distance learning institution; (c) positive experiences of participating in the Unisa peer help volunteer programme; and (d) the negative experiences of participating in the Unisa Peer Help Volunteer Programme. The findings have painted a positive picture of how the Unisa peer help volunteer programme has contributed in shaping the lives of the peer helpers. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology (Research Consultation))

Teachers' and learners' views on the role that entrepreneurship education plays in career choice decision-making of Business studies learners in Ekurhuleni Gauteng East DistrictAjayi, Oluwakemi Bolanle 11 1900 (has links)
As unemployment is on the rise in developing economies as the result of a decline in the
global economy during the past decade, increased attention is paid to entrepreneurship
as generator of global economic growth. It has been noted that sustainable economic
development cannot be achieved without entrepreneurship, nor can a country increase
its gross domestic product and stock of wealth, or improve its citizens’ quality of life, if
entrepreneurship is not increased.
In order to increase the prospect of entrepreneurship in a country, it is necessary to
introduce secondary school learners to entrepreneurship from the early grades,
specifically the Grades 8 and 9 General Education and Training phase years. To
stimulate learners’ interest in the subject, it is important to provide them with appropriate
resources and textbooks, competent teachers and a well-structured curriculum. The
knowledge and skills gained from studying entrepreneurship could influence learners’
future career choices. The unemployment rate in South Africa is high and 70 per cent of
unemployed South Africans are youths. This percentage grows annually as learners exit
the Further Education and Training (FET) phase.
There is a dearth of literature on the attitudes of South African Business Studies
learners in the FET phase towards entrepreneurship as a future career. Additionally, the
role that entrepreneurship education plays in the potential career choices of Business Studies learners in the FET phase has not been explored extensively. Consequently this
study attempted to explore the role of entrepreneurship education in influencing
Business Studies learners in the FET phase in choosing entrepreneurship as a career.
A qualitative case study research method was used to conduct the study. Three schools
were identified and data were collected from them. The data-gathering methods
employed were face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with Business Studies teachers;
and focus group interviews with Business Studies learners in the three schools. The objective of the interviews was to determine the respondents’ views on the role that
entrepreneurship education plays in learners’ career choices. The findings of the study
indicate that teachers and learners strongly agree that entrepreneurship education plays
a significant role in learners’ choice of entrepreneurship as a career. However, the
respondents (both teachers and learners) highlighted challenges that could prevent
learners from choosing entrepreneurship as a career. / Namate ʼn insinking in die wêreldekonomie die afgelope dekadewerkloosheid in
ontwikkelende lande laat toeneem het, geniet entrepreneurskap as stimulus vir globale
ekonomiese groei groter aandag. Dit is alombekend dat entrepreneurs noodsaaklik is vir
volhoubare ekonomiese ontwikkeling. Sonder entrepreneurs kan geen ekonomie groei
nie, kan geen land sy bruto binnelandse produk en rykdomreserwe vermeerdernie, en
bly sy burgers se lewenstandaard onveranderd.
Ten einde entrepreneurs te kweek, moet hoërskoolleerders reeds in Graad 8 en 9, in die
jare van Algemene Onderwys en Opleiding (oftewel die AOO-fase), met
entrepreneurskap kennis maak. Om hulle belangstelling te prikkel, isgeskikte
hulpmiddels en handboeke, bevoegde onderwysers en ʼn behoorlik gestruktureerde
kurrikulum noodsaaklik. Die kennis en vaardighede wat leerders in die studie van
entrepreneurskap opdoen, kan hulle loopbaankeuse bepaal. Suid-Afrika het ʼn hoë
werkloosheidsyfer en 70 persent van die land se werkloses is jongmense. Hierdie
persentasie styg jaar na jaar namate leerders die fase vir Verdere Onderwys en
Opleiding (VOO) voltooi.
Daar is ʼn skaarste aan literatuur oor die vraagof Besigheidstudiein die VOO-fase Suid-
Afrikaanse leerders se ingesteldheid jeens entrepreneurskapas loopbaan beïnvloed.
Ook is die rol wat onderrig in entrepreneurskap in leerders se keuse van ʼn loopbaan
speel, nog nie volledig ondersoek nie. Gevolglik poog hierdie studie om te bepaal of
onderrig in entrepreneurskap Besigheidstudieleerders in die VOO-fase entrepreneurs
van beroep laat word.
ʼn Kwalitatiewe gevallestudie is as navorsingsmetode gebruik. Data is by drie skole ingesamel. By hierdie skole is deels gestruktureerde onderhoude van aangesig tot
aangesig gevoer met Besigheidstudieonderwysers en fokusgroeponderhoude met
Besigheidstudieleerders. Die doel van die onderhoude was om vas te stel of leerders van mening is dat onderrig in entrepreneurskap hulle loopbaankeuse bepaal. Volgens
die bevindings van hierdie studie is onderwysers en leerders dit volkome eens dat
onderrig ʼn bepalende rol in leerders se keuse van entrepreneurskap as loopbaan speel.
Desnietemin het sowel onderwysers as leerders op uitdagings gewys wat verhoed dat
leerders hierdie loopbaan volg. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Self-constructing a career : reflection following career adaptability as instructional scaffoldAlgra, Marlene 01 1900 (has links)
South African learners transitioning into the world of work are currently lacking
adequate career education in schools. It is well documented that preparedness for the
world of work sets learners in a locus of control.
The main aim of this case study was to interpret learners’ reflections of selfconstructing
a career with the psychosocial construct of career adaptability as an
instructional scaffold. The study leaned on the life design for career construction
theory, a combination of the career construction theory of Savickas, and the selfconstruction
theory of Guichard. I utilised interpretivism as a research paradigm and
a single case study design. Following purposeful convenience sampling, sixteen
Grade 11 learners in a South African public school participated in Phase 1: a workshop
comprising five sessions. Phase 2 consisted of a focus group interview with eight
learners selected from the original group on their level of contribution and commitment.
Data collection included group reflection, reflective writing, observation, researcher
reflective field notes, and a focus group interview.
Six themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the data. Learners successfully
initiated career planning activities by reflecting on the career adaptability construct.
The research results suggest a need for an alternative approach in the manner career
education is presented in schools. This study hopes to provide insight into career selfconstruction
initiatives learners employ when using the career adaptability construct
as an instructional scaffold. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
