Inset towards educational transformation with reference to primary schools in the Northern ProvinceRavhudzulo, Anniekie Nndowiseni 05 1900 (has links)
Like so many aspects of South African society, teacher education is undergoing
change. The researcher studied existing school-based in-service education and
training (SBINSET) programmes in the Northern Province and to improve the
programmes, proposes Continuous Self-Renewal School-Based INSET (CSR
SB INSET).
Based on the extensive literature survey, strategies that would improve effective
educational transformation are identified. Different concepts of INSET are
explained. Components of teacher education are examined as are those factors
that influence educational transformation. Advantages and limitations are
identified and guidance on how to overcome these are suggested.
The aim of this study was to examine INSET towards educational transformation
with reference to primary schools in the Northern Province in order to introduce
and assess a CSR SBINSET. The study examines the existing SBINSET
programmes which are run in the Northern Province. The importance of teachers'
continued professional growth is emphasised throughout this study. The
researcher views systematic in-service training programmes for teachers as an
educational necessity for the continuing professional growth of primary school
teachers.
An empirical survey has been undertaken to ascertain the effectiveness of CSR
SBINSET and the type of delivery strategy that may be implemented.The research
considers particular aspects of classroom practice addressed in the programme.
The research was guided by the following questions:
+ Which methods do teachers use in their subject teaching?
+ What are their approaches to learners and learning?
+ How do teachers reflect on their teaching?
+ What strategies do teachers use?
This research aims to improve existing SBINSET programmes run in the Northern
Province inter alia by observing practising teachers. CSR SBINSET attempts to
improve the competencies teachers, lecturers and District Officials, through such
means as the presentation of centre-based, school-based and cluster-based
workshops. Although the educational authorities should take initiative to provide
educational transformation, the following share responsibility in this vital aspect
of education:
+ those in the Department of Education who are responsible for planning;
+ superintendents of education within districts and regions;
+ training institutions such as universities, technikons, colleges and private
agencies.
The importance of and necessity for, continuous professional development of
primary school teachers by means of SBINSET programmes, is emphasised. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (Didactics)

Technology education and curriculum 2005 : staff development through INSETMaluleka, Jan Khazamula 08 1900 (has links)
Curriculum 2005 together with its learning areas has been introduced in South Africa in
1998. All learning areas, except Technology Learning Area, are not new. Technology is
growing so rapidly that it gives so many challenges to people. These challenges include
making technology part of our curriculum, formulating and adapting technological solutions
to problems people may experience. We have to ask ourselves what technology or
Technology Education means. Therefore, this study provides the meaning and the rationale
for Technology Education in our curriculum. This study also attempts to shed light on the
form of training educators should attend for Technology Education.
Although there are different methods of training, for example PRESET and INSET, this
study concentrates on various forms of INSET. INSET is chosen because it is a means
through which the present need for Technology Education educators can be solved. The
percentage of educators involved in part-time study will increase in relation to the number in
full-time education. The closing down of some of colleges of education in South Africa
reduces the use of PRESET and increases INSET as a means of educator training. The
advantages of using INSET instead of PRESET are provided in this study.
The National Teacher Audit of 1995 has shown that the quality of INSET in South Africa is
poor. In addition, it seems the present ad hoc way of running INSET will not cope with
challenges of training educators for Curriculum 2005 and Technology Education. Normally,
INSET is the prime strategy for addressing problems in PRESET. Unfortunately, INSET has
to train educators for Technology Education (Technology Learning Area) which was never
touched by PRESET before. For this reason, this study provides an INSET model, guidelines
and recommendations to make the suggested model of INSET work successfully. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)

Personnel development at an educational institution in SwazilandMbanze, Carlos Vicente 30 November 2005 (has links)
This dissertation examines personnel/staff development at Nazarene College of Theology (NCT) in Siteki, Swaziland. The argument developed is that an educational institution needs a personnel development programme that will continuously improve the teaching skills of its teachers/lecturers and improve their performance.
A literature study was used to investigate the historical and educational developments that occurs at NCT. Data was collected by means of two interviews. The study was limited to a small group of eight respondents since the entire staff at NCT amounted to that number.
The findings indicated that two activities, namely, continuing education and participation in academic/professional conferences are being used. The findings also revealed the limitations related to the high cost of tertiary education, personal problems, the length of time to complete a university course and a lack of adequate staff development policy. Based on these findings, brief recommendations to improve practice of staff development are suggested. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Education Management)

A critical investigation into the nature and quality of in-service Education and Training programmes for Further education and training (FET) mathematics teachers in the Greater Taung areaOwusu-Mensah, James 29 February 2008 (has links)
The study investigated the nature and quality of in-service education and training programmes organized for Further Education and Training (FET) mathematics teachers in the Greater Taung Area. The researcher is of the contention that more could be done to improve the process and the effectiveness of in-service training in the area. An extensive literature study provides a theoretical foundation and exposes some critical issues for effective in-service training programmes. The qualitative approach is used in the case study.
The data were analysed through inductive analysis. The major research findings are that there are no formal processes of identifying the needs of mathematics teachers and further, teachers are not monitored and supervised after in-service sessions.
It is recommended that the needs of teachers be identified by the school before inset. For effective monitoring and supervision of mathematics teachers after inset, it is recommended that each cluster within the Area Project Office (APO) should have a subject specialist for mathematics. / EDUCATIONAL STUDIES / MED (MATHS EDUC)

Teletandem : sessões de orientação e suas perspectivas para o curso de letras /Candido, Juliana. January 2010 (has links)
Orientador: João Antonio Telles / Banca: Douglas Altamiro Consolo / Banca: Nelson Viana / Resumo: Nesta pesquisa objetivou-se estudar a formação inicial do professor de LE no contexto de laboratório de teletandem. Foca-se em quatro aspectos na graduação do professor de línguas: a orientação, a mediação, a reflexão e a aprendizagem em teletandem. Nesta pesquisa discute-se, através de um recurso tecnológico, o módulo Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro, a orientação, a mediação e a reflexão pelos alunos-professores de uma universidade estadual paulista, inseridos em um laboratório de teletandem. Neste laboratório, os alunos do curso de Letras, denominados aqui de alunos-orientadores, ministram sessões de orientação teórica e tecnológica para os alunos ingressantes no projeto Teletandem Brasil: língua estrangeira para todos, isto é, aqueles que ainda não iniciaram o seu processo de aprendizagem de língua estrangeira em teletandem. Assim, a pesquisa em questão constitui-se basicamente em três etapas: i) observação das sessões de orientação presenciais ministradas pelos alunos-orientadores no laboratório de teletandem; ii) leitura, reflexão e análise do diário-reflexivo dos alunos-orientadores acerca destas sessões de orientação teórica e iii) realização das sessões de mediação online com os alunos-orientadores pelo módulo Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro. O interesse no desenvolvimento da pesquisa surgiu pelas necessidades e inquietações na minha experiência como aluna do curso de Letras, isto é, como professora de língua estrangeira em formação inicial carente de maior orientação e reflexão da natureza que este novo contexto de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas em tandem permite oferecer. Desta forma, objetivou-se, especificamente investigar quais os possíveis impactos da experiência de orientação, dada pelo aluno de Letras, futuro professor de LE, no...

Specifically, it focuses on four aspects in the foreign language teacher‟s pre-service education: counseling, mediation, reflection and learning in teletandem. This study discusses, through a new technological resource, the Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro, the counseling, mediation and the reflection by the pre-service students from a state university in São Paulo state, inside a teletandem laboratory. In this laboratory, the undergraduate foreigner teachers, called at this study of counselor-students, provide theoretical and technological counseling sessions to the freshman students in the thematic project named Teletandem Brasil: língua estrangeira para todos, in other words, for those students who have not started their foreign language learning in teletandem process yet. Therefore, this research is basically constituted by three stages: i) observation of the face to face counseling sessions given by the counselor-students in the laboratory; ii) reading, reflection and analysis of the reflective diaries of the counselor-students about these face to face counseling sessions and iii) realization of the online mediation sessions with the counselor-students through the Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro. The interest to achieve this research arose by the needs and concerns within my experience as an undergraduate foreign language teacher, in other words, as a teacher in a pre-service education lacking more counseling and reflection of the nature that this new context of teaching and learning languages in-tandem can provide. Thus, the study aimed to investigate what are the possible impacts of the counseling sessions‟ experience, given by the... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Previous issue date: 2006-05-19 / This dissertation aims at investigating the use of monographs as a tool for critical reflection. The theoretical framework has its focus on the critical reflection moves, description, informing, confronting and reconstruction, proposed by Smyth (1992) based on Freire (1970). It was also discussed the use of monographs as tools for reflection and the Theory of Discourse Functioning (Bronckart, 1997), as a basis for the understanding of the linguistic materiality of the monographs. This research was carried out in a private university of São Paulo and the two monographs studied were developed by two groups of undergraduate students of languages attending the last term. We analyzed if the four critical reflection moves proposed by Smyth (1992) based on Freire (1970) were shown on the monograph developed by the students. The data analysis and interpretation suggest that the critical reflection actions appeared throughout the monographs, although, the action of confronting appears very little. It was also observed that the pre-service teachers were able to reconstruct their actions, although they did not refer to any theoretical basis to support their arguments. The data also showed that the pre service students were discursively engaged / Esta tese objetiva investigar a utilização da monografia como instrumento para reflexão crítica na formação inicial de professores de língua estrangeira de um curso de Letras. A fundamentação teórica deste estudo tem seu foco principal nos movimentos da reflexão crítica propostos por Smyth (1992) com base nos postulados de Freire (1970). Lingüisticamente, baseio-me na teoria do funcionamento dos discursos, tal como proposta por Bronckart (1997), para discutir a materialidade lingüística das monografias. Foram estudadas duas monografias produzidas por dois grupos de alunos-professores, pertencentes ao último ano do curso de Letras de uma instituição de ensino superior, da rede particular, da cidade de São Paulo. Analisaram-se as ações da reflexão crítica (Smyth, 1992), que se mostraram no texto das várias seções que compõem as monografias. Os resultados mostram que as ações da reflexão crítica permeiam o trabalho monográfico; porém, o movimento do confrontar aparece de forma muito sutil. Observou-se também que os participantes conseguem reconstruir suas ações, porém não utilizam base teórica para dar suporte a tais mudanças. Ficou evidenciado que os alunos-professores se responsabilizam discursivamente por suas ações
