Students views on the inclusion of multicultural perspectives into the psychology curriculum at two South African universities : an Afrocentric analysis.Chitindingu, Ethel. January 2012 (has links)
This research investigated students‘ views on the inclusion of multicultural perspectives into the psychology curriculum at two South African universities.54 students from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and a university in the Gauteng province participated in the research. The age of the participants ranged from 20-40 years. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data. Using a competency scale adjusted to suit a South African context participants were asked their views on a) the practice and supervision of psychology b) diversity in student representation c) students were also asked to rate how competent they were in multicultural issues d) research considerations e) if the physical environment reflected diversity. The students were of the view that South African universities have not adequately incorporated multicultural issues, African perspectives in particular, into the curriculum. The recommendations for future research, including curriculum transformation, are highlighted. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2012.

Perceptions of women-specific senior secondary curricula in Western CanadaPhillips, Auburn January 2011 (has links)
Perceptions and experiences of a women-specific curriculum (Women’s Studies
course) taught in a Western Canadian high school constitute the focus of this study. The
available sample of fifteen adolescent girls and three professional women were
interviewed, individually and in small focus groups. Supplemental data were obtained
through an online survey completed by seven additional previous student respondents.
Research literature that shaped the study includes Women and Gender Studies, Education (Adolescent Development and Identity, Curriculum Studies, Anti-oppressive
Education), and Feminist Sociology. Benefits and challenges of integrating women-specific curricula into high school are discussed with the recommendation that such courses are needed in senior secondary education in public schools. / viii, 201 leaves ; 29 cm

Culture and consciousness of physically disabled persons : the need for drama within the special school curriculum.Moodley, Sumboornam. January 1994 (has links)
This dissertation investigates how disability has been defined, and focuses on the shift
in the conception of disability as an individual and medical problem to disabi1ity as a form
of social oppression. Starting from an historical perspective the position of disabled persons
in society is traced. The advance of disabled persons, from a condition of enforced social
invisibility, to one in which they make themselves seen and heard through social movements
fighting for their rights, is outlined as an introduction to a record of practical engagement
through pedagogy in a concrete South African context. .
After examining the way myths and stereotypes continue to perpetuate discriminatory
practices against disabled persons, attention is drawn to the representation of disability
through negative and positive images reflected in media as discourse. Thereafter, the
material conditions that help, construct the confined, isolated position of disabled persons
within society are considered. Attention is drawn to the theoretical positions of Foucault,
Fanon and Bulhan to understand how disabled persons have been excluded and/ or exclude
themselves from active participation in society.
In the light of the foregoing, the dissertation argues for the position of drama as a
means of developing a positive self-concept and a positive self-image within disabled persons.
The utility of drama in fulfilling this need is demonstrated by way of a qualitative analysis
of the experience of drama teaching over a period of several years. The use of drama within
special education is urged as a learning medium, with drama as performance and drama as
a means of consciousness-raising to advocate for the acceptance and recognition of disabled
persons within society.
In conclusion, the placement, value and organisation of drama within the Special
School Curriculum is considered. The dissertation emphasizes the value of drama as part of
culture in which children develop, understand and reflect on their social values, and
concentrates on their part in the dialectics of change. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1994.

Life orientation teachers' experience of context in the implementation of the curriculumWasserman, Jessica 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since 1994, and the dissolution of the apartheid era, South African curricula have seen many revisions and adaptations to subject statements, learning programmes, and assessment guidelines. The most recent occurred in 2009, when the previously revised curricula statements (RNCS, 2005) were to be replaced with the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) for all approved subjects listed (including the subject of Life Orientation), taking effect in January 2012. These revisions have influenced curriculum implementation across contexts throughout the country – contexts that vary in culture, politics, and socio-economic status due to the inequalities of the past. It is these varied contexts, and the implementation of the current CAPS curriculum therein, that led to the formulation of this research study. The implementation of the subject of Life Orientation was of particular interest to the researcher as it is this subject that has been designed, throughout the many curricular revisions, to prepare learners for life and work in the outside world (i.e. in their specific contexts external to the primary education system).
This research study attempts to explore the experiences of Life Orientation teachers, focusing specifically on the role that context plays in their implementation of the curriculum. Teachers working in the FET phase (grades 10-12), within two different contexts, were selected to participate.
Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model (Bronfenbrenner, 2005) was used as the theoretical framework for this study because of the overlapping and interrelated systems that influence the development of the child and the context in which learning takes place. This is informed by Vygotsky’s theory of social constructivism, which emphasises the social aspect of development and the influence that specific social contexts have on learning.
For this research, the learners were placed in the centre of Bronfenbrenner’s model; while the school, family, and broader social community were placed in the outer systems. This study made use of a basic qualitative design and a qualitative methodology which is rooted within an interpretive paradigm. Purposeful sampling was used to select participants from the two respective school contexts in the Western Cape province, and three measures were used to collect data: (1) a self-administered questionnaire, which teachers were asked to complete in their own time; (2) semi-structured individual interviews with the principals and heads of Life Orientation from the two respective schools; and (3) focus group interviews with the teachers in their respective contexts. Qualitative content and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data generated by means of these three data collection methods.
The findings of this research paper suggest that the delivery of the current Life Orientation curriculum within particular contexts was a challenging experience for the teachers who participated in the study. However, with appropriate and professional teacher training and/or a more flexible and adaptable curriculum design, the participants felt that these challenges could be overcome.
While the findings of the study cannot be generalised to all schools in South Africa, recommendations can be made, based on this study, for the relevant schools as well as the Department of Education to assist in ensuring that appropriate measures are taken in order to improve curriculum implementation – whether through professional teacher training and development, curriculum design, or both. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert 1994, en die ontbinding van die apartheidsera, was daar verskeie wysigings en weergawes van die Suid-Afrikaanse kurrikulum ten opsigte van beleidsverklarings leerprogramme en assesseringsriglyne. Die mees onlangse wysiging het in 2009 plaasgevind, toe die voorheen Hersiene Nasionale Kurrikulum Beleidsverklaring (HNKV, 2005) vervang is met die Kurrikulum en Assesseringsbeleidsverklaring (KABV) vir alle goedgekeurde vakke (insluitende die vak Lewensoriëntering) – wat in Januarie 2012 in werking getree het. Hierdie wysigings het die implementering van die kurrikulum oor kontekste heen dwarsdeur die land beïnvloed – kontekste wat wissel in kultuur, politiek en sosio-ekonomiese status as gevolg van die ongelykhede van die verlede. Dit is die implementering van die huidige KAVB kurrikulum binne hierdie verskillende kontekste wat gelei het tot die formulering van hierdie navorsingstudie. Die implementering van die vak Lewensoriëntering was van besondere belang vir die navorser, aangesien dit hierdie vak is wat ontwerp is deur al die kurrikulumhersienings heen om leerders vir die lewe en in die wêreld daarbuite voor te berei ( in hul spesifieke konteks).
Hierdie navorsingstudie poog om die ervarings van Lewensoriëntering-onderwysers te verken, met spesifieke fokus op die rol wat konteks speel in hul implementering van die kurrikulum. Onderwysers wat werk in die VOO (Verdere Onderwys en Opleidng)-fase (grade 10-12) binne twee verskillende kontekste is gekies om deel te neem aan hierdie studie.
Bronfenbrenner se bio-ekologiese model (Bronfenbrenner, 2005) is gebruik as die teoretiese raamwerk vir hierdie studie weens die oorvleueling van en onderlinge verhoudings tussen sisteme wat die ontwikkeling van die kind en die konteks waarin leer plaasvind, beïnvloed. Dit word toegelig deur Vygotsky se teorie van sosiale konstruktivisme, wat die sosiale aspek van ontwikkeling en die invloed wat spesifieke sosiale kontekste op leer het, beklemtoon. Vir hierdie navorsingstudie is die leerders in die middel van Bronfenbrenner se model geplaas; terwyl die skool, gesin en die breër sosiale gemeenskap in die perifêre sisteme geplaas is. Hierdie studie het gebruik gemaak van 'n basiese kwalitatiewe ontwerp en ‘n kwalitatiewe metode wat gewortel is in 'n interpretatiewe paradigma. Doelbewuste steekproefneming is gebruik om deelnemers uit die twee onderskeie skoolkontekste in die Wes-Kaap te kies. Die studie het gebruik gemaak van drie metodes om data in te samel: (1) ‘n self-geadministreerde vraelys wat die onderwysers gevra is om te voltooi in hul eie tyd; (2) semi-gestruktureerde individuele onderhoude met die skoolhoofde en hoofde van Lewensoriëntering uit die twee onderskeie skole; en (3) fokusgroeponderhoude met die onderwysers uit die onderskeie kontekste. Kwalitatiewe inhouds- en tematiese analise is gebruik om die data wat gegenereer is deur middel van hierdie drie data-insamelingsmetodes te ontleed.
Die bevindinge van hierdie navorsingstudie het aan die lig gebring dat die lewering van die huidige Lewensoriëntering kurrikulum binne hulle bepaalde kontekste 'n uitdagende ervaring vir die onderwysers was wat aan die studie deelgeneem het. Die deelnemers was egter van mening dat hierdie uitdagings oorkom kan word met toepaslike en professionele opleiding van onderwysers, en/of ‘n meer buigsame en aanpasbare kurrikulumontwerp.
Hoewel die bevindinge van hierdie studie nie veralgemeen kan word tot alle skole in Suid-Afrika nie, kan aanbevelings tog gemaak word aan die betrokke skole, sowel as die Departement van Onderwys om te help verseker dat die nodige maatreëls in plek gesit word om implementering van die kurrikulum te verbeter– hetsy deur professionele opleiding en ontwikkeling van onderwysers, of deur kurrikulumontwerp, of albei.

Uitkomsgebaseerde onderwys vir leerders met verstandelik erg-gestremdheidDorfling, Pieter Stephanus 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEd)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since 2001 an inclusive approach is being followed in education in South Africa.
According to this approach all learners must be taught in one education system and
according to the same curriculum, namely the National Curriculum Statement
Grades R to 9 (Schools). To ensure that this outcomes-based curriculum is relevant
and effective in the teaching of learners with a severe intellectual disability, it is
important to evaluate the curriculum and to adapt it if necessary.
Learners with a severe intellectual disability form a distinctive educational community
marked by their high need for continuous support, specific educational strategies and
appropriate learning content. In the past, these learners received their education
outside the mainstream of education according to an own, appropriate curriculum.
However, since 2004 they have been required to receive their education according to
the National Curriculum Statement Grades R to 9 (Schools).
The aim of this research was to establish the effectiveness and relevance of the
National Curriculum Statement Grades R to 9 (Schools) in the education of learners
with a severe intellectual disability. A mixed-method research design, which included
a literature survey, an empirical, as well as focus group interviews, was applied.
By means of the literature survey, the demands were determined that are made on
the curriculum by learners with a severe intellectual disability, their parents, the
community, and the work community. The demands that educators make on the
curriculum were determined by means of an empirical survey. This survey revealed
that outcomes-based education is not generally implemented in the 21 schools
included in this study. These findings formed the basis on which curriculum
evaluation criteria were developed and according to which the National Curriculum
Statement Grades R to 9 (Schools) was evaluated.
By applying these criteria it was established that in some instances the National
Curriculum Statement Grades R to 9 (Schools) does not comply with the demands of
the determinants. The deduction could however be made that the National
Curriculum Statement Grades R to 9 (Schools) has sufficient adaptable built-in
features to be effective and relevant for learners with a severe intellectual disability.
Recommendations were made on how best to make the necessary adaptations. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Suid-Afrika word sedert 2001 'n meer inklusiewe benadering tot onderrig gevolg.
Hiervolgens moet alle leerders binne een onderwysstelsel volgens een kurrikulum,
naamlik die Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring Graad R tot 9 (Skole), onderrig word.
Ten einde te verseker dat hierdie uitkomsgebaseerde kurrikulum relevant en
doeltreffend is in die onderrig van leerders met verstandelik erg-gestremdheid is dit
noodsaaklik om die kurrikulum te evalueer en dienooreenkomstig die bevindinge aan
te pas, indien nodig.
Leerders met verstandelik erg-gestremdheid vorm vanweë hul intellektuele
vermoëns 'n duidelik herkenbare onderwysgemeenskap wat gekenmerk word deur
hul behoefte aan deurlopende ondersteuning, spesifieke onderrigstrategieë en
toepaslike leerinhoude. In die verlede het hul onderrig buite die hoofstroomonderwys
geskied aan die hand van 'n eie, toepaslike kurrikulum, maar sedert 2004 moet hul
onderrig ook volgens die Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring Graad R tot 9 (Skole)
geskied.
Die doel van hierdie navorsing was om die doeltreffendheid en relevansie van die
Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring Graad R tot 9 (Skole) vir leerders met verstandelik
erg-gestremdheid te bepaal. 'n Gemengde-navorsingsmetode-ontwerp wat 'n
literatuuroorsig, 'n meningsopname asook fokusgroep-onderhoude ingesluit het, is
gevolg.
By wyse van die literatuurondersoek is die eise bepaal wat leerders met verstandelik
erg-gestremdheid, hul ouers, die gemeenskap, en die werkgemeenskap aan die
kurrikulum vir leerders met verstandelik erg-gestremdheid stel. Die eise wat
opvoeders stel is deur middel van 'n empiriese ondersoek bepaal en dui aan dat
uitkomsgebaseerde onderrig nie algemeen aangewend word in die 21 skole in die
ondersoek nie. Aan die hand van hierdie bevindinge is kurrikulumevalueringskriteria
ontwikkel waarmee die Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring Graad R tot 9 (Skole)
geëvalueer is.
By die toepassing van die kriteria is gevind dat die Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring
Graad R tot 9 (Skole) in sekere opsigte nie behoorlik aan die eise van die
determinante voldoen nie. Die gevolgtrekking is gemaak dat die Nasionale
Kurrikulumverklaring Graad R tot 9 (Skole) egter genoeg aanpasbaarheidselemente
het om doeltreffend en relevant te wees vir leerders met verstandelik erggestremdheid.
Aanbevelings is gedoen oor hoe die aanpassings gemaak kan word.
