In hierdie skripsie word die verband tussen geslag en die bestuurstyl van die vroulike departementshoof in Afrikaansmedium sekondêre skole in die voormalige Noord-Transvaal- en Oos- Transvaalstreke ondersoek. Deur middel van 'n literatuurstudie is vasgestel wat die aard en wese van 'n bestuurstyl is. Bestuurstyle wat op enkele bestuursruite gebaseer is, asook bestuursbeginsels en leierskapstyle wat dien as bestuurstyle, is ondersoek. Dit is gevolg deur die determinante wat 'n bestuurstyl bepaal en die determinante wat geleë is in die onderwysbestuurder, die bestuursomgewing en in die personeel. Vervolgens is vasgestel hoe die bestuurstyl van die vroulike departementshoof lyk. 'n Oorsig is verkry oor die kenmerke van die vroulike departementshoof se bestuurstyl en daarna is die beplanningstyl, organiseringstyl, leidinggewingstyl en beheeruitoefeningstyl bespreek, asook die determinante van die vroulike departementshoof se bestuurstyl. 'n Empiriese ondersoek het die manlike en vroulike departementshoofde se selfpersepsie oor sy en haar bestuurstyl aan die lig gebring. Die enkele verskille in die response ten opsigte van die belangrikheid en die mate van gebruik van die verskillende bestuurstyle is vervolgens bespreek. Ten slotte is gevolgtrekkings gemaak oor die verband tussen geslag en die bestuurstyl van die vroulike departementshoof en enkele aanbevelings is gemaak. / Skripsie (MEd (Onderwysbestuur))--PU vir CHO, 1997

Legislation regarding education in South Africa has changed significantly since 1994. One aspect that has changed is language policy and language of learning and teaching at schools. The number of schools that have changed their language policy from single medium to parallel- and dual medium has increased significantly. This change had an impact on the management of schools. The head of department as an instructional leader in his or her department plays an important role in managing this change. The research aims to investigate and describe the instructional leadership role of heads of departments at parallel medium primary schools. Furthermore, this study would also focus on the impact of the leadership role of department heads when the language policy at their respective schools has changed. With the focus on instructional leadership of the heads of departments this case study investigated the challenges experienced by this department heads. The study was conducted at three parallel medium primary schools in Pretoria. This is a qualitative study which interprets data collected by three techniques. The three data collection instruments were observations, interviews and document analysis. The data were analyzed using content analysis. My findings indicate the following: First, a school's language policy has a significant influence on the instructional leadership of heads of departments at parallel medium schools. Second, more specifically, the heads of departments must do tasks and duties in both languages of learning and teaching. This implies a tremendous increase in their workload that includes planning, meetings and communication. Finally, legislation and case law forms the framework within which the heads of departments as instructional leader has to fulfill their tasks. It seems that the participants' have a limited knowledge of the legal framework. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted

Beginneronderwysers moet die geleentheid kry om om hul onderwysvaardighede te verbeter en hul professionele identiteit te ontwikkel. Daar word internasionaal ervaar dat beginneronderwysers die onderwysprofessie binne twee tot vyf jaar verlaat indien hulle nie voldoende ondersteuning en opleiding deur mentorskap ontvang nie. Die navorsing word gerig na aanleiding van die primêre navorsingsvraag naamlik: Hoe word mentorskap toegepas tussen die Grondslagfase-departementshoof en die beginneronderwyser? Uit die navorsingsprobleem soos hierbo gestel, is die volgende sekondêre navorsingsvrae geformuleer. Sekondêre navorsingsvrae 1. Hoe word die uitdagings van dissipline en klaskamerbestuur deur middel van mentorskap aangespreek? 2. Hoe kan mentorskap bydra om vakkennis en kurrikulumontwikkeling te versterk? 3 Watter aspekte van mentorskap dra by tot beter gehalte van onderwys en metodiek wat die beginneronderwyser in die klaskamer gebruik? 4. Hoe word mentorskap aangewend in die vestiging van _ verhouding tussen die beginneronderwyser en medekollegas, ouers en leerders? 5. Hoe word onderwysprofessionalisme ontwikkel en versterk deur mentorskap? Die navorser het _ kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering gevolg en die navorsings-ontwerp was _ gevallestudie binne _ interpretivistiese / konstruktivistiese paradigma. Die data is ingesamel deur semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude met die deelnemers waartydens hulle oop vrae (hoe? hoekom?) beantwoord het. Die vrae is vooraf opgestel volgens die temas van die konseptuele raamwerk soos geïdentifiseer uit die literatuurstudie. _ Doelgerigte steekproef wat aan voorafbepaalde kriteria voldoen het, is in die kwalitatiewe navorsingstudie gebruik. Die steekproef het bestaan uit skoolhoofde, departementshoofde en beginneronderwysers by vyf verskillende Afrikaanse laerskole in die Tshwane-Noord-distrik van Pretoria. Laerskole is telefonies gekontak en die skole wat beginneronderwysers aangestel het, is geïdentifiseer. Daarna is die skoolhoofde gekontak en toestemming verkry om navorsing by hul skole te doen. Die bevindings en aanbevelings van die studie is aan die deelnemers voorgelê sodat hulle die akkuraatheid en betroubaarheid daarvan kon verifieer. Die navorser het gepoog om die studie te trianguleer deur verskillende metodes te gebruik, naamlik _ literatuurstudie, asook die evaluering en vergelyking van inligting uit semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude om die geldigheid en betroubaarheid van bevindings te toets. Die deelnemers aan die studie se identiteite is beskerm deur van skuilname gebruik te maak – vir sowel die individue as die laerskole wat aan die studie deelgeneem het. My opsommende bevinding is dus dat die voordele van mentorskap legio is en sodra nuwe onderwyser doeltreffend bemagtig word deur mentorskap, hy/sy die geleentheid kry om te groei en ontwikkel om sy profesionele potensiaal ten volle te ontwikkel. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Education Management and Policy Studies / MEd / Unrestricted

The aim of this research project is three-barrelled: • to ascertain the nature of job satisfaction; • to ascertain which factors, according to literature, lead to the job satisfaction of the female head of department at a secondary school; • to ascertain which factors in the practice of education lead to the job satisfaction of the female head of department at a secondary school. To achieve these goals a literary study as well as an empirical research was undertaken. The literary study was done from primary and secondary sources. A DIALOG computer search was done with the following words: females, sex fairness, leaders, women administrators, career leaders, promotion, motivation, work satisfaction, female teachers, secondary school. Consequently the nature of job satisfaction was discussed. After having identified the management factors that have an influence on the female head of department job satisfaction, these factors were grouped and discussed under the following sub-divisions: • Factors that are situated in the head of department herself • Interpersonal relations • Factors concerning the job situation • Career development • Factors on managerial level that have an influence on job satisfaction Based on these factors a questionnaire was compiled from existing questionnaires (those of Hillebrand, 1989; Esterhuizen, 1989; Du Toit, 1994; Engelbrecht, 1996; Kirsten, 2000 and the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire, 1985). A systemized sample was used by which female heads of department of secondary schools in the North West Province were involved. The questionnaires were sent to the study population. The information thus gathered was statistically processed and interpreted. On account of these data, recommendations were made. The empirical research showed that female heads of department of secondary schools experience to a certain extent job satisfaction, but also that certain factors need attention. Based on the empirical study, recommendations were made. The most important one being the need to look incisively into adaptable scales of salary according to qualifications, as well as compensation that compares well with comparable jobs. It is important that the programme of rationalisation should be completed as soon as possible so that the matter of job security can be looked into seriously. The education authorities need to look into effective and fair evaluation for promotion, as well as into the physical work conditions of the female head of department / Thesis (M.Ed.)--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2001
