This case study examines how civics education and forces of schooling shape Tanzanian girls’ perceptions of citizenship. Girls often experience multiple barriers, including gender discrimination, when participating as young citizens. Gender concepts have been incorporated into the Tanzanian civics curriculum to raise awareness of gender inequality and champion gender empowerment strategies. To understand the effects of these gender-focused curricular inclusions on conceptions of female citizenship, this study provides an analysis of the framing of citizenship within the civics curriculum and an examination of individual student perceptions of citizenship. Data was collected from interviews, public diaries, and curriculum documents and analyzed using a feminist conceptual framework. The results provide insight into youth and gendered modes of citizenship participation.

This study was conducted in an effort to determine whether or not the degree of growth in practical skills, personal and social development, and knowledge of subject matter content which an adolescent demonstrates is significantly related to the assumption of leadership roles in the classroom.

Thesis (M. Ed. (Mathematics, Science and Technology)) --University of Limpopo, 2016 / The aim of the study was to explore factors which motivated girls to study Physical Sciences in Grade 10. The study followed a qualitative research paradigm and a case study design. A sample of twenty four girls from three secondary schools in Rakwadu Circuit in Limpopo province was purposively sampled for the study. Data was collected using interviews with Grade 10 girls who were studying Physical Sciences and Grade 9 girls who intended to study Physical Sciences in Grade 10. In addition, document analysis was used to analyse participants’ classwork, tests and other forms of assessments. The results show that these groups of girls were motivated by both external factors and internal factors. The factors included career opportunities that Physical Sciences offers, financial assistance, learner performance and interest in the subject. The study revealed that girls had positive attitudes towards science and wanted to pursue science related careers. The learning environment and family also played a role in motivating learners to study science. It is therefore recommended that parents, educators and the entire education sector support and motivate girls to assert their role in science.
