Paradigma ontleding van en paradigma beskrywing vir deelnemende werkswysesSchenck, Catherina Johanna 11 1900 (has links)
Community development and in particular participatory development is about
people.
This means that the person who studies or practices participatory development
or any other of the participatory pratices should have a particular way of thinking
about people. The main aim motivating this study was to investigate the
paradigm/s about people on which participatory practices are based. This
included a literature research on five participatory practices namely
participatory development;
participatory communication;
participatory learning;
participatory research; and
participatory management.
A guideline for paradigm analysis was developed by using Schriver's (1995) and
Capra's (1996) descriptions of a paradigm as well as ideas of hermeneutics.
From the paradigm analysis on the participatory practices two themes emerged:
A shift from modernism to post modernism in the thinking processes and
participatory practices.
From the participatory practices the same concepts repeatedly emerged
indicating a similar paradigm for all the participatory practices.
Three post modern theories were therefore applied to enhance the description
of the different concepts. The end result of this study is the development of an
evolving paradigm for participatory practices in order to give enhanced meaning
to concepts in the participatory vocabulary.
Finally a critical reflection was done on the post modern research process. / Text in Afrikaans / Social Work / D.Phil. (Social Work)

Participatory research in organisational change with social work supervisionLekalakala, Esther Kgauhelo 11 1900 (has links)
The dissertation presents a participatory research process in organisational change with social
work supervision. The study was conducted with a group of social work supervisors employed by
the Department of Health and Welfare in the Central region of the Northern Province from
September 1997 to November 1998. The participatory research process engaged the participants
in a consciousness-raising and educational process. They were enabled to identify problems
which rendered them ineffective, brought about by the socio-political transformation process in
South Africa since 1994, and were strengthened as a collaborative group to work together to
bring about change in their situation. Going through the process of dialogue as a group, the
participants became empowered and more confident to do participatory supervision, which in tum
would empower the supervisees as direct service providers. / Health Studies / M.A. (Social Science (Mental Health))

The significance of Auditor-General in the control of public funds in local government with specific reference to Mopani District MunicipalityMaake, Mapula Reginah 09 1900 (has links)
MPM / Oliver Tambo Institute of Governance and Policy Studies / The aim of the study investigates the significance of Auditor General in the control of public funds in local government with specific reference to Mopani District Municipality in order to make recommendations that can assist in improving the control of public funds. The research identifies and assesses weaknesses in how Mopani District Municipality has been controlling its public funds by analyzing the Auditor General reports for the past three financial years and its implications to service delivery. The research further assesses the role played by Auditor General in influencing the internal financial control of the municipality and in auditing the performance of the municipality since in other municipalities money is paid to contractors for services not rendered. The study provides academic input into public administration, specifically in the area of improving service delivery performance, control and financial performance management in municipalities. The study could contribute to the establishment of effective ways of monitoring the control of public funds by municipalities. / NRF

Tsoga O Itirele : a reflection on a participatory action research processNtsoane, Dikeledi Regina 01 1900 (has links)
The report is about participatory action research with caregivers at the 'Tsoga 0 ltirele" centre for the mentally disabled. It was a process where the caregivers were involved in a series of action, plan and reflection in researching their situation. The facilitation process assisted the caregivers to look at their problems at the centre
and improve service delivery in caring for the mentally disabled children. Several meetings were held where action, plan and reflection took place. Caregivers decided on their own when to meet and discuss issues that concerned them. They planned what needed to be dealt with and took collective action to address these needs.
The facilitation process enabled caregivers to research their own problems, embrace errors experienced and recognise progress. People Centred Approach, Community Development and Participatory Action Research complemented one another in capacitating caregivers. Through it they learned to improve their own programmes and to run their meetings, improve marketing skills and fundraising. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Science (Mental Health))

Phela o phedise : a case study of an income-generating project in Moganyaka communityMavalela, Hildah Ramadimetja 12 1900 (has links)
Participatory development is believed to be an essential ingredient of the development
process because it enables the people to influence the policy and decision-making process. It
facilitates the designing of and enhances the implementation of plans and programmes or projects
and that participation results in the development of ownership and belonging among the people
themselves. This feeling in turn goes a long way to ensure the success of a programme or project.
This study highlights some of the elements that led to the successful implementation of an
income-generating project with women. The study also demonstrates that the people's own ideas are
able to command adequate levels of participation, support and commitment to enhance their ability
to meet their needs. The study further looks at the ownership of the project as very important for
successful implementation and that projects or programmes should be facilitated within the means
of the local participants to manage and control them.
The elements mentioned in this study are an essential part of participatory development and enable
the people to learn to take charge of their lives and solve their own problems.
The study further looks at cultural and traditional values as an essential part of human growth,
because local action taken by the women is very important in promoting overall success of the
project. / Social work / M.A. (SS) (Mental Health)
