Collective memory as an informant of consciousness in the built environment : towards a collaborative place of reconciliation for the mining community of Marikana.Muller, Chantelle Kay. 12 September 2014 (has links)
Mining towns, like cities, are experiencing similar outcomes of rapid-urbanisation
where the opportunities that are presented by mass urbanisation and migration
(economic growth, jobs and increased social engagement) are increasingly
overshadowed by the consequences of over-urbanisation (housing shortages, slums and
failing infrastructure). These consequences, coupled with the growing gap between the
rich and the poor result in undesirable outcomes and lead to conflict, protest and
violence. As such, the majority of the South African population, while striving for a
better life, live in poorly serviced settlements on the outskirts of the city where crime,
oppression and exploitation, contribute to a growing fragmentation of the society as a
whole. These underdeveloped settlements and their working population contribute
largely to supporting the wealth of the city and generating profits for a small minority.
This is evident in the county’s mining operations where the disparity between the
mineral wealth below ground and the social condition and poverty above ground is
manifested in the failure of the social structure of the community and is responsible for
the psychological and physical condition of ‘in-betweenness’.
Halbwachs argues that culture and social framework, is presupposed by memory. As
such, the research aims to explore collective memory and its influence on social
cohesion as well as how it is manifested and mediated in the built environment. The
research is concerned with establishing a consciousness in design that values humanity
in the process and outcomes (i.e. From inception, through design development,
construction and realisation). Consciousness in the built environment suggests a
sensitive approach to social context while regenerating and revitalising new and
existing communities and simultaneously providing facilities that will contribute to a
socially and economically sustainable future in the wake of conflict and trauma. As
such it is argued that human-nature, self-interest and competition for survival, if
managed by conscience, promotes positive social advancement (Sumner, 1883).

Challenges experienced by African educators in developing the school curriculum of the North West province / Mamashaba Christina RatlebyanaRatlebyana, Mamashaba Christina January 2005 (has links)
The aim of this study was to identify problems experienced by African educators
in developing the school curriculum. The kinds of attitudes and beliefs of African
educators in developing the school curriculum are also determined.
The study indicates that African educators experienced problems in developing
the school curriculum. Learners in urban areas had more advantages than those
in rural areas such as availability of facilities and well qualified staff. Schools
need adequate resources in order to be effective.
The implication the study suggested was that, building schools was not a
guarantee for society's success. The advantages of multicultural institutions
are caused by the socio-economic backgrounds of various learners of diverse
cultures. The differs from the environment of public schools of the rural area
where learners had the same background and same culture and have many
things in common. Educators at public schools need more training and
workshops. African educators should become so confident that they could
produce good results at the end of the year. / (M. Ed.) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2005

Evaluation of the REds programme in the North-West Province / Minette van der WesthuizenVan der Westhuizen, Minette January 2009 (has links)
Educators are affected by the HIV and AIDS pandemic in many different ways. At this stage, most people are focusing on how to support people that are infected by the HIV and AIDS pandemic. The youth of South Africa are in the hands of these educators that are struggling under the effects of this pandemic. The Resilient Educators (REds) programme was especially created to support educators that have been affected by the pandemic by means of the correct knowledge and skills to remain resilient. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme. To reach this aim, the programme was evaluated by means of two articles.
The first article ascertains the nature and content of the REds programme. This article gives an overview of the group work process, the method of how this programme was presented, as well as a thorough explanation of the content of each session.
The second article evaluates the programme as a whole by means of the results obtained from the study. Within this article, data obtained from quantitative and qualitative measuring instruments are discussed.
From results obtained it was clear that this programme can be a powerful tool to support educators affected by the HIV and AIDS pandemic. / Thesis (M.A. (MW))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.
