Enablers and inhibitors of the implementation of inclusive education in the foundation phase classrooms of Capricorn District, Limpopo Province : implication for inclusionNdlovu, Simon Mfula January 2022 (has links)
Thesis (M.Ed. (Curriculum Studies) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / The main purpose of this study was to investigate enablers and inhibitors to
implementing inclusive education in the Foundation Phase of rural schools in the
Capricorn district, Limpopo province. The study was conducted in three primary
schools (Foundation Phase) in the Capricorn district of Limpopo Province, South
Africa. All the sampled schools have or once had special needs learners. This study
employed qualitative research approach, which was backed by the case research
design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group and document
reviews. The interviews were backed by a tape recorder for quality and storage
purposes. Eleven Foundation Phase teachers were sampled (but 10 interviews were
used because the voice recording device I used to record, damaged the voice clip of
an interview I had with T3A, and it was impossible to schedule another meeting due
to school examinations commitments). These teachers were sampled using the
purposive sampling technique. Data were analysed through the thematic data analysis
method. The reviewed documents were The South African Schools Act (SASA),
Education White Paper 6 (WP6) and Screening, Identification, Assessment and
Support policy (SIAS).
The findings were as follows: teachers showed an appealing understanding of
inclusive education and teachers and policies agreed that Foundation Phase learners
are susceptible to exclusions and priority must be projected towards them. Teacher
training (inclusion workshops) and curriculum (lesson) differentiation are the chief
enablers to implementing inclusive education at the sampled schools, yet challenges
are pertinent. Unproductive workshops, overcrowded classrooms and a lack of
resources, exclusion of rural teachers’ views on inclusion policies and issues of foreign
learners are some of the factors that appeared key factors to inhibiting inclusion at the
sampled schools.

Professional nurse perceptions of the role of home and community-based carers providing care to the community in the Capricorn district of the Limpopo ProvinceJackson, Colleen Rosalie 30 November 2007 (has links)
The study sought to explore professional nurses' perceptions of the roles of home and community-based carers in the Capricorn district of the Limpopo province as well as the problems they experienced and make recommendations to improve the quality of home and community-based care.
A qualitative approach with non-probability, purposeful sampling was used in this study. The sample consisted of professional nurses serving as focal points for home-based care in the area of the study.
The findings indicated that professional nurses believe that carers have a role in providing care to the community and serve as the extended hands of their services. However, challenges exist, which impact on the quality of service delivery.
Recommendations included the strengthening of existing elements, such as improving relationships, communication, and the care of carer's programme, carer training, reporting, and monitoring and carer distribution. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
