Factors influencing quality assessment practices in business studies at technical vocational education and training collegesNkalane, Patience Kelebogile 11 1900 (has links)
Technical Vocational Education and Training colleges (formerly known as Further Education and Training colleges) in South Africa have undergone many changes since 1994. In 2007, a new curriculum, the National Certificate Vocational, was rolled out. The new curriculum brought an approach of outcome-based teaching and learning to continuous assessment, with a National Summative Examination set by the National Department of Higher Education Examinations and Assessments, and programme certification conducted by Umalusi (Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education). When the National Certificate Vocational was introduced in 2006, lecturers attended training prior to the implementation of the new curriculum. However the training was inadequate, as it was a once-off; after the implementation of the National Certificate Vocational, new lecturers never received training. Umalusi reports from 2009–2013 stated that the implementation of Internal Continuous Assessment needed attention, highlighting challenges faced by lecturers regarding its implementation. The purpose of the study is to explore the factors that impact on the quality of Internal Continuous Assessment practices in NCV Business Studies. The constant comparison analysis developed by Glaser and Strauss (1967) was used in analysing the data collected during the interviews.
A qualitative research approach was employed, specifically a case-study research design. Purposive sampling was used to select lecturers as participants of this study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Findings revealed that there was lack of standardisation and uniformity in all four campuses, poor-quality assessment tasks were set using old exam papers and textbook exercises, designing of assessment tools was limited to the use of few tools and the colleges gave little attention to the policies and documents regarding implementation of Internal Continuous Assessment. Recommendations have been formulated that may add value or make an educational contribution to the growing body of knowledge by strengthening Internal Continuous Assessment processes and ensuring quality of assessment practices at these colleges, to significantly enhance students’ academic performance, competence and throughput rate. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M.

Factors associated with risky sexual behaviour amongst students at Venda Technical Vocational Education and Training College in Limpopo Province, South AfricaMurudi, Nthuseni Sharon 05 1900 (has links)
MPH / Department of Public Health / Multiple sexual partners, unprotected sex and transactional sex are considered risky sexual behaviour worldwide and continue to pose risks of sexual transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancy as well as increased termination of pregnancy amongst young people. The reported study was aimed at describing factors associated with risky sexual behaviour amongst students at Vhembe Technical Vocational Education and Training College.
Within the quantitative paradigm, the study adopted a descriptive, cross-sectional survey design to describe factors associated with risky sexual behaviour amongst students. The targeted population were all the registered students at Vhembe Technical Vocational Education and Training College, Mashamba Campus. Self-administered questionnaires with close ended questions were administered to 307 students whom were sampled using a simple random technique. Out of 307 students, 217(70.3%) were females and 90 (29.3%) were males. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0 was used to manage and analyse data. The study results revealed that demographic factors such as gender, age and sexual orientation contributed to students in engaging in risky sexual behaviour. A majority of the male students 64 (61.2%) were found to be having multiple sexual partners as compared to 107(54.2%) female students. Students aged 21-24 years 98(31.9%) were having multiple sexual partners. The study further revealed that sexual orientation contributes to students engaging in risky sexual behaviour. The students who reported that they were bisexual, gay or lesbian 33 (84.6%) were not using condoms. Environmental factors such as staying alone in a rental place contributed to students engaging in risky sexual behaviour. A majority 97(51.2%) of college students who were staying at a rental place were engaging in unprotected sex. In this study, socio-economic factors such as depending on National Financial Aid Scheme have been identified as the main driver of transactional sex. About 131(49%) students who depend on National Financial Aid Scheme reported were found to be prone to engaging in transactional sex. The study recommends that the Department of Health and Department of Education initiate strategies such as having a clinic inside the Technical Vocational Educational and Training College and peer educators to expand knowledge of students on risky sexual behaviour and on lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender and intersex.

An investigation into the content of the further education and training (FET) phase home language curriculum and assessment policy statement (CAPS): a linguistic perspectiveLumadi, Nnditsheni Irene 18 May 2019 (has links)
MA (Linguistics) / Department of Communication and Applied Linguistics / The purpose of this study is to investigate the content of the Further Education and Training
(FET) Phase Home Language (HL) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). The
Tshivenḓa HL content was translated from English for teaching and learning purposes. The study
adopted both the qualitative and quantitative approaches in order to attain holistic results. Data
was collected through the use of questionnaires from educators and subject advisors. Document
analysis was also used (by analysing CAPS documents). The findings of this study will benefit
the South African society, especially the Tshivenḓa HL educators and learners. The educators
believed that the Tshivenḓa newspapers articles are not well-taught because they are not
available in Tshivenḓa and educators did not know how to prepare them. The study also revealed
that there are no prefixes but suffixes for formulating antonyms in the Tshivenḓa HL, however
both are found in the English HL. Furthermore, educators complained about the shortage of film
study resources in literature which the department of education delivers late. The findings of the
study suggest that Tshivenḓa newspapers should be reintroduced as they aid learning for
learners, and enable educators to plan their lessons. Prefixes in the Tshivenḓa HL should be
introduced so that learners are able to attach them in their words, similar to what do they do in
the English HL. In addition, ample resources for HL literature such as textbooks, Television sets
(TV), overhead projectors for film study, and other resources should be delivered timely. / NRF

Self-efficacy in vocational development of women in low-socio-economic communitiesMasakona, Morongwa Florence 20 September 2019 (has links)
PhD (African Studies) / Department of African Studies / This study sought to investigate self-efficacy in vocational development of women in low
socio-economic communities. The main aim of the study was to investigate the sociocontextual
factors influencing self-efficacy of women. The objectives were fourfold: to
examine the levels of self-efficacy of these women; to ascertain the extent to which selfefficacy
influences vocational development of women and to propose a pragmatic women
developmental model for acceleration of access to vocational development. The study
utilised Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) as its theoretical frame-work which originated from
Bandura’s (1986) Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). The study employed the qualitative
phenomenological approach which is concerned about the everyday experiences of
individuals and how human beings experienced a certain phenomenon. The population
of the study comprised of women in low socio-economic communities, traditional leaders;
Community leaders; health workers and religious leaders. The sample for this study was
60 participants. Data were collected through interviews; participant observation; and
focus group discussions. The study recommended the pragmatic Partnership of the
Family, Church and the Society (F.C.S) Women Developmental Mode. The model
emphasizes the importance of teamwork between all the community structures to help in
building up the confidence of women in low socio-economic communities. / NRF

The professional develoment of lecturers at further education and training colleges in the Eastern Cape Province / The professional development of lecturers at further education and training colleges in the Eastern Cape ProvinceMatshaya, Kulana 06 1900 (has links)
The study focused on professional development of lecturers at Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges in the Eastern Cape Province. The effectiveness of lecturers at FET colleges depends on continuous development in order to meet challenges that they face due to continuous changes in technology and curriculum. Also, the development of the lecturers has a positive effect on their teaching with the result that both the students and the wider institution benefit from it.
The literature reviewed revealed the effects, types, theories and nature of professional development. A qualitative research approach in the form of document analysis, interviews and observations was used in order to explore the implementation and/or lack thereof of professional development and its effects in teaching and learning within the institution.
It is hoped that the qualitative study and the literature review will contribute to the implementation of professional development for the benefit of students and the college. Different strategies for the implementation of professional development were recommended that could further enhance the introduction of professional development in FET colleges. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

Exploring the effectiveness of psychological support services provided to students at Majuba TVET College, Kwazulu-Natal ProvinceMuchineripi, Munyaradzi 05 1900 (has links)
Students in Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges (TVET) in South Africa face a number of challenges including psychological problems. These challenges have a strong bearing on the academic success of the students. The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of psychological support services rendered to students at Majuba TVET College. Interviews were recorded verbatim and transcribed. Thematic data analysis was used to analyse the data. The themes used were derived from the research objectives and these were further divided into categories and sub-categories. The study found that the institution does provide psychological support services to the learner. The forms of psychological support include career counselling, pre-counselling, referral system, on-going counselling and peer counselling and mentoring. Improved academic performance, improved student attendance student retention and improved college certification rate are some of the benefits that can be realised from the effective utilisation of psychological support by the students. Various challenges hinder the effective utilisation of these psychological support services including, lack of qualified personnel, being understaffed, poor referral system, conflicting roles of staff, inadequate on-site counselling, low-prioritisation of psychological support by college management and limited access time. The participants highlighted the need for the institution to establish linkages with key stakeholders such as other TVET Colleges so as to have a platform for sharing vital information on psychological support. The participants were of the view that more qualified and registered staff should be hired to bolster the provision of psychological support to students. The referral system should be improved and the participants advocated for the services to be accessible around the clock. College management should show commitment to students’ welfare by prioritising and recognising student psychological support as pivotal to students’ academic success. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.
