Continuing professional development : opinions, awareness and compliance challenges experienced by radiographers in KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaNaidoo, Kathleen January 2016 (has links)
Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Health Sciences in Radiography, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016. / Introduction:
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) has been introduced as a means to ensure that professionals continuously update their knowledge and skills. In addition, CPD has become a mandatory requirement by the Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA). However despite CPD being mandatory, health professionals nationally and internationally alike have experienced numerous challenges obtaining the required CPD points/hours. Some of these challenges included lack of awareness of the CPD requirements, lack of available activities, lack of employer support, lack of funding and a lack of time to participate. No studies have been conducted amongst radiographers working in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), to determine if they are affected by similar challenges hence the need for this study.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the opinions, level of awareness, participation, and challenges related to CPD compliance by radiographers in KwaZulu-Natal, and to ascertain their suggestions for improvement to CPD practices in order to make recommendations to the HPCSA.
Method
A quantitative, descriptive research approach using a questionnaire with both open-ended and closed-ended questions was utilized. Radiographers from all four disciplines in Radiography, working in the province of KwaZulu-Natal were included in this study. A five point Likert scale was used for most of the closed questions. The open ended questions allowed respondents to express their opinions freely. The quantitative data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. The inferential statistics included bivariate correlations and Chi-square testing. Open ended questions were analyzed by means of thematic analysis.
Results
Two hundred and ninety two questionnaires were administered and one hundred and forty six were returned which resulted in a 50% response rate. The mean age of respondents were 31.3 years. The majority of respondents were females (85.6%). Most of the respondents were diagnostic radiographers (80.8%) hence 59.6% were shift workers. Fifty percent of the respondents were employed in the public health sector.
Respondent’s acknowledged the importance of CPD however majority indicated engagement due to the mandatory requirements by the council. The most common challenges identified were lack of funding and time. Suggestions for having formal polices in place and allocation for financial support were recommended. A number of respondents suggested having an online database for the systematic recording of CPD points in order to improve the audit process.
In this study relationships between different variables were tested. It was noted that a progression in rank resulted in a greater level of agreement that CPD does improve professional competence. The infrequency of CPD engagement was directly affected by the difficulties associated with evidence and record keeping of CPD activities. The lack of funding was a greater challenge amongst the public health sector employees as opposed to the private sector. It was also noted that a lack of employer support affected how often respondents engaged in CPD activities hence support from employers was deemed crucial.
Conclusion
Radiographers working in KwaZulu - Natal were experiencing numerous CPD challenges. Suggestions were made to overcome these challenges as well as improving the auditing system by the HPCSA. / M

The prevalence and selected risk factors of musculoskeletal injuries affecting working canines in KwaZulu-NatalRadtke, Storm January 2016 (has links)
Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016. / Background
Dog agility has become one of the most popular canine sport disciplines, growing annually with many owners enrolling their canines without an educated understanding of what the sport of agility entails. Various factors have been identified that can contribute to the injury of the agility dog, these include coming into contact with the agility equipment, the experience of the dog, nutrition, supplementation, handler training in warm up technique and participation in additional sporting activities such as flyball, and risk factors such as breed, sex and age of the dog have been shown to have an impact on the prevalence and type of injury that sporting dogs are at risk for, most commonly, injuries to the shoulder, wrists, hip and an extensive range of soft tissue injuries.
There is a significant knowledge gap in the literature that describes injury prevalence, profiles and the potential risks facing the sporting canine participants in a South African context and that, as more and more owners are seeking out CAM therapies such as chiropractic, literature is needed in order to enable these owners and veterinary chiropractors to better understand the risk that the sport of agility entails. Chiropractic treatment can offer both treatment and prevention, from enhancing the performance of the canine athlete, allowing them to compete more effectively and for a longer period at national and international level, to improving the quality of life of the geriatric canine patient.
Aim
The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and selected risk factors of musculoskeletal conditions affecting working canines registered in the herding breed category in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Study Design
This study was a cross sectional, prospective survey of sporting canine owners registered with the KZNDAA. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design.
Participants
The study comprised of 70 dogs registered to 38 owners who are affiliated with the KZNDAA.
Methodology
Potential participants were identified on the KZNDAA membership list. These members were approached by the researcher at registered agility shows and invited to participate in the study. Once it has been established that the owners and the canines met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, participants were required to sign a letter of information and confidentiality and a consent form and were included as participants in the study. The research questionnaire was then given to participants, who then completed the questionnaire on site and returned it by hand to the researcher. Data was captured on excel and transferred to IBM SPSS version 23. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and range were used to describe continuous variables which were normally distributed, while median and inter-quartile range were used for skew variables. Categorical variables were summarized using frequency tables. Associations between lifetime prevalence and risk factors were tested using Pearson’s chi square tests for categorical risk factors, or Fischer’s Exact tests for continuous variables.
Results
The period prevalence of MS conditions was found to be 8.5% and the lifetime prevalence 45.8%.
Injuries were found to occur most often during play, followed by injury during agility competition, a very small percentage of the injuries incurred were due to direct contact with agility equipment.
Shoulders and hips were the areas most commonly affected, with arthritis and DJD being the most prevalent type of conditions and muscular strains being the most prevalent type of injury. The breed with the highest prevalence of injury was the Border Collie(63%). Neutered males had the highest prevalence of injury (52%), followed by spayed females (30%). The 8-10 year old category had the highest prevalence of injury (30%), followed by the 2-4 year old category (22%). Large breed dogs in the 15-20kg weight category had the highest prevalence of MS injury (40%).
Dogs participating in dog jumping showed a decreased risk of MS injury, while dogs participating in flyball showed an increased risk of developing MS injuries. Handlers with training in specific warm up techniques showed a decreased risk of having dogs developing MS injury.
Reverse casualty associations were found between the increased risk of MS injury and dogs fed on Hills specific diets, dogs supplemented with glucosamine and chondroitin, and dogs currently receiving anti-inflammatories.
Conclusion
The prevalence of musculoskeletal (MS) injuries in agility dogs in KZN is low when compared to studies done outside of South Africa. Factors such as breed, age, sex, and weight of the dog influence the prevalence of MS conditions. Risk factors influencing the development of MS conditions include contact with the equipment, nutrition, participation in other sporting activities and whether warm up periods are allowed. A larger population is needed in order to further analyse the risk of injury in sporting dogs in a South African context. / M

The impact of Impucuko (modernisation) of rural homestead living spaces on the dwellers in a selected area of Umbumbulu, South of DurbanMlambo, Hlengiwe January 2016 (has links)
Submitted in fulfilment of the Degree Master of Applied Arts in Interior Design, Durban University of Technology, 2016. / This study discusses the impact of modernisation of rural homestead living spaces on dwellers in a selected area of Umbumbulu, south of Durban Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa. The study was conducted after a change was noticed within the rural homesteads built environment. Factors responsible for the changes in building/ dwelling shape, size, style, as well as the choice of materials (SSSM) used were discussed. The study further examined the impact of the listed changes within the social context of Umbumbulu’s rural dwellers, while addressing in-depth questions around the topic of modernisation, especially within the confines of rural homesteads and living spaces.
A qualitative research approach was employed where an interpretative research paradigm was chosen as a theoretical framework for the study. Data consisted of seven semi structured interviews. The research design consisted of themes, the analysis, as well as the findings in relation to literature.
The conclusion showed what the rural dwellers understand about modernisation in a rural context, as well as how it has impacted the changes in building/ dwelling shape, size, style, as well as in the choice of materials used. Three identifiable themes were discussed namely: 1. modernisation; 2. change in building shape, style, size and materials; and 3. positive living experience. Links were made between the themes which in turn indicate how modernisation has had an impact on rural homestead living spaces and dwellers. / M

The knowledge of learners with hearing impairment on the transmission modes of HIVPillay, Krebaloshni Mahalini 20 August 2015 (has links)
Awareness and knowledge of the different transmission modes of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) serves as a vital component of the efforts to prevent the
spread of HIV. This quantitative descriptive cross sectional study was conducted with 99
learners from three public schools for learners with hearing impairment in KwaZulu-
Natal (KZN). Data was collected via a self-designed questionnaire and analysed via the
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).
Recommendations based on the findings of poor levels of knowledge of transmission
modes of HIV were made to motivate for greater awareness amongst these vulnerable

An assessment of the role of social capital in collaborative environmental governance in tribal communities: the study of Gumbi and Zondi communities in KwaZulu Natal Province, South AfricaMusavengane, Regis January 2017 (has links)
Thesis
Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy
Geography and Environmental Studies University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies
January 2017. / Political transformations in most developing nations have been accompanied by vast land claims by indigenous communities who were forcibly detached from their traditional land during colonisation and apartheid-like dispensations. In the context of sub-Saharan African countries (including South Africa), the need for land reform has been aggravated by the great scarcity of farmland. However, most of the reclaimed land is in areas pursuing conservation activities. Now, caught between owning the land and pursuing conservation as a land use option to improve livelihood; local communities have tended to form partnerships and collaborations with external stakeholders in managing communally owned natural resources. Collaborative management is perceived as a sustainable route in governing common pool natural resources in re-claimed areas. It is in this regard, that this research aims at establishing the role to which social capital can be instrumental in promoting sustainable governance in co-managed community game reserves in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
This study follows a case study approach, with Zondi and Gumbi communities in Umvoti and uPhongolo Districts of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa respectively being used to obtain empirical evidence. Two basic criteria were taken into consideration in selecting appropriate case study areas to attain the aim of the study. Firstly, whether the area had successfully claimed the land and secondly, if there were collaborative efforts from different stakeholders in managing available common resources. To ensure equal representation, research participants were drawn from households, community leaders, conservation organisations and policy makers from the government.
This study’s methodological positionality is interpretive in nature, and its operational framework base is qualitative research. It therefore uses a number of qualitative techniques in an attempt to establish the role of social capital in governing Somkhanda (in Gumbi) and Ngome (in Zondi) Community Game Reserves. For instance, systemic-resilience thinking and socio-ecological learning
approaches were used to analyse the participatory relationship and effects in
managing community natural resources in Gumbi and Zondi communities.
It has been revealed in this study that the key to successful collaborative
environmental management projects revolves around issues of participation,
transparency, reciprocity and effective communication. These elements are
important ingredients in building strong social capital. Community social cohesion
builds trust between internal and external actors, especially in communities that
were once subjected to various forms of segregation and corrupt systems of
governance. The presence of trust in managing common pool resources ensures
effective stakeholder participation as well as involvement in decision making
processes.
Furthermore, the evidence from this study suggests that the frequent exclusion of
rural populations from participation in processes with a direct influence on their
lives, undermines efforts to pursue Community-Based Ecotourism. More
profoundly, the study found that, as an analytical tool, social capital seems to
provide a dynamic and holistic explanatory approach to the pursuance of
Community-Based Ecotourism in land-claimed communities, compared with the
dominant evaluative techniques in the tourism field. Another important practical
implication is that social capital can be used to promote the analysis of communities
as heterogeneous and evolving, as opposed to the assumptions of their
homogeneity and static state. There is a strong possibility that social capital can also
address power-relations, social exclusion and inequality, through consideration of
both structural and cognitive indicators.
The findings from this study make several contributions to the body of knowledge.
Firstly, they provide a better understanding of social capital variables influencing
community participation in conservation activities. This is of use when designing or
developing future Collaborative Community-Based Natural Resources Management
(CCBNRM) projects. Secondly, from a broader perspective, the study advises policy
makers not to ignore related community policies which might impact community
participation in CCBNRMs. This is essential in considering the direction of future
conservation and rural development policy. Thirdly, they provide a framework for
empowering local people and their communities to enhance participation in
CCBNRM. In view of this, a binding conclusion can be made that social capital can be
a vehicle through which the accumulation of different forms of capital can be
achieved and contribute towards sustainable environmental management. / MT2017

Citizen science for water quality monitoring and management in KwaZulu-NatalCele, Hlengiwe 10 August 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the faculty of Commerce, Law and Management,
University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the
degree of Master of Management (in the field of Public and Development
Management)
March 2015 / The citizen science approach has a role to play in the restoration of river
health in catchments affected by pollution. Everyone can become
involved in monitoring the health of a river, dam, estuary or wetland
closest to them. In KwaZulu-Natal, uMngeni and Msunduzi Catchments,
voluntary participation in river health initiatives has been adopted by
schools, conservancies, NGOs and catchment management forums.
The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions and
experiences of the use of miniSASS, a simplified South African Scoring
System (SASS) tool for monitoring river health in uMngeni and Msunduzi
Catchments over the past 15 years. A qualitative exploratory and
descriptive study was undertaken through semi-structured interviews and
documentary analysis. The researcher managed to purposively select a
sample of ten participants, mainly the active users of the miniSASS
citizen science tool in the identified catchments.
The finding of the study is that miniSASS is perceived and experienced
as a valuable community-based educational tool in Msunduzi and
uMngeni catchment which has led to local government authorities to
respond faster in solving incidents of industrial pollution; address poorly
maintained water infrastructure and fix the leaking sewers contaminating
freshwater. The study recommends that a further investigation be made
on the economic value of citizen science contribution in KwaZulu-Natal
since there were indications that it has already benefited some of the
accommodation businesses who appreciated the change in the nearby
streams.

School leardership development and professional learning communities : a case study of three primary schools in KwaZulu-Natal.Simamane, Maureen Thokozile. January 2013 (has links)
The purpose of the Advanced Certificate in Education (ACE) (School Leadership) is to empower
school principals to develop the skills, knowledge and values needed to lead and manage
successful schools. The study sought to achieve three objectives. Firstly, to find out if the school
principals were able to use the learning from the ACE (School Leadership) programme in
establishing the Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Secondly, to find out if the school
principals have succeeded in establishing and sustaining PLCs in their schools. Thirdly, to find
out the extent to which school principals are succeeding in transforming their schools through
PLCs. The theoretical framework used in the study were Leadership Development Theory
and PLCs drawing from the Community of Practice (CoP). The study was located in the
interpretive paradigm using the qualitative approach. A case study methodology was employed.
Semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews and document analysis were the data
production techniques. I sampled three primary schools led by school principals who
successfully completed the ACE (School Leadership) programme between 2007 and 2009 in the
Ilembe District of KwaZulu-Natal based on convenience. The school principals of each of the
three primary schools were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. In sampling teacher
participants, five teachers were sampled in each of the three schools. Two senior teachers from
the foundation phase, two senior teachers from the intermediate phase and one senior teacher
from the senior phase were selected. I also reviewed staff minutes for the period starting from
January 2012 to June 2013. The data generated was thematically analysed. The study found that
two school principals were able to establish PLCs in their schools and sustain them. The study
also found that PLCs had massive impact in transforming the school. I conclude that the
establishment of PLCs in schools promotes learning together and sharing of ideas and teaching
techniques, among the teachers supported by school principal. / M. Ed. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 2013.

Die opgradering van informele nedersettings : Mangosuthu Village, Kwa-Zulu Natal as gevallestudieVan Rooyen, Morné 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Squatting is a form of informal settlement. These types of settlements can be
found throughout South Africa and represent the attempts of the poor to provide
themselves with housing.
The conceptualisation of this phenomenon has undergone many changes
during its history. There were times when these settlements were demolished
and the inhabitants relocated to other areas. This type of approach was
unsuccessful due to the extent of the problem and because the new housing
that was being provided was unaffordable. A paradigm shift led to the fact that
the upgrading of informal settlements is seen as an approach with a brighter
future. During this process optimal use is made of the existing structures for
example buildings, economic activities and social ties, within the community.
The approach is adaptable to the needs and situations of individual
communities.
The sustainability of an upgrading project depends to a great extent on the
enthusiasm and cooperation of the community that is going to benefit. Public
participation can be a difficult process, especially in poor communities. This
instrument can however yield great results in providing a product that is to the
satisfaction of the community as a whole.
During the course of this assignment the following conclusions were made from
the material that was studied:
• The success of upgrading programmes are highly depended on the
enthusiasm of the communities that are going to benefit.
• This enthusiasm is greatly increased by a process of community
participation. • Upgrading must be seen as a multi-phase process.
• Upgrading of informal settlements can play an important role in addressing
the backlog that exists in affordable housing.
• The need for an Informal Housing Act exists.
From the case study the following conclusions were made:
• The study presents many advantages, like providing the community with
basic services and the right to property.
• Further some disadvantages concerning intensification were identified.
• These disadvantages can be addressed by providing smaller erven and
street fronts as well as lower standards concerning residential uses. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Plakkery is In tipe informele nedersetting. Hierdie nedersettings kom op groot
skaal in Suid Afrika voor en verteenwoordig die pogings van die armer lede van
die samelewing om hulself met behuising te voorsien.
Die konseptualisering van hierdie tipe behuising het deur die geskiedenis deur
baie fases gegaan. Daar was tye gewees wat informele nedersettings bloot
gesloop en die inwoners op ander plekke hervestig is. Hierdie tipe benadering
was egter nie geslaagd nie, aangesien die probleem van plakkery te groot was
en die nuwe behuising was in die meeste gevalle onbekostigbaar. In
Paradigma skuif het daartoe bygedra dat daar nou eerder op die opgradering
van sulke nedersettings gefokus word. Hierdie benadering fokus daarop om
die bestaande elemente in die gemeenskap byvoorbeeld geboue, ekonomiese
bedrywighede en sosiale ondersteuningsnetwerke optimaal te benut. Dit is In
buigsame proses wat aanpas by die behoeftes en omstandighede van die
individuele gemeenskappe.
Die volhoubaarheid van In opgraderinsprojek is afhanklik van die entoesiasme
en samewerking van die gemeenskap wat daardeur bevoordeel gaan word.
Publieke deelname is In moeilike proses, veral in armer gemeenskappe. Dit
kan egter baie waardevolle resultate lewer wanneer dit In prod uk tot gevolg het
wat deur die hele gemeenskap aanvaar word.
In die verloop van hierdie werkstuk is daar uit die bestudeerde materiaal die
volgende resultate afgelei, naamlik dat:
• Die sukses van opgraderings van informele nedersettings grootliks
afhanklik is van die entosiasme en samewerking van die gemeenskappe
wat deur die proses bevoordeel gaan word.Hierdie samewerking word grootendeels bevorder deur In proses van
open bare deelname.
• Opgradering moet gesien word as In multi-fase proses.
• Opgradering van informele nedersettings kan In groot rol speel om die
tekort aan bekostigbare behuising aan te spreek.
• Die opstel van In Informele Behuisingswet nodig is.
Uit die gevaliestudie is die volgende bevindings gemaak:
• Die studie hou baie voordele, byvoorbeeld dorpstigting, eiendomsreg en
die voorsiening van basiese dienste, vir die inwoners van die gebied in.
• Behalwe die voordele is daar ook nadele, soos die feit dat die konsep van
verdigting nie in ag geneem word nie, identifiseer.
• Hierdie nadeel kan deur kleiner erwe en straatfronte en laer standaarde vir
nie residensiete gebruike aangespreek word.

Housing knowledge of final year student teachers at Esikhawini College of Education : implications for the development of housing unit standardsDlamini, Buyi P. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MConsumerScience)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The provision of housing in South Africa is a national priority. As many aspirant homeowners
are first-time homeowners, they are not necessarily informed about the pitfalls of home
ownership. Although the Government has attempted short-term solutions aimed at equipping
these housing consumers with the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed and
responsible housing-related decisions, research pointed to the need for a sustainable longterm
solution in the form of education and training of the housing consumer. There must be a
concentrated effort to provide housing education to consumers, since everyone has a
constitutional right of access to adequate housing. Unless consumers are equipped with
adequate knowledge and information to make informed choices, this right will not be realised
and the housing market shall not function effectively.
The main objective of the research study was to determine the basic housing knowledge of
the senior student teachers of the Esikhawini College of Education in KwaZulu Natal. The
second objective was to develop an illustrative Unit Standard for teacher qualification
programmes on the fifth level of the National Oualificationa Framework (NOF).
The sixteen housing education and training core concepts identified by Serfontein (2001 :120)
namely Basic Housing Technology, Community, Cultural Aspects of Housing, Environment,
Financial Aspects of Housing, Housing Consumerism, Housing Design and Decoration,
Housing Market, Housing Needs, Housing Policy, Legal Aspects of Housing, Resource
Management, Role-players in Housing, Sources of Housing Information, Tenure Options and
Types of Housing were used to compile a questionnaire which was administered to the senior
students of Esikhawini College of Education. The aim was to determine the basic knowledge
that respondents possessed. The data collected formed the background for the illustrative
Unit Standard for Housing Education that was developed in this research study. The
development of Unit Standards for Housing Education is very necessary and timely as the
Department of Housing, who seeks to develop a systematic housing consumer education
framework for South Africa, have recommended that Housing Education should be included in
the formal education curriculum. If the recommendations of the Department of Housing are implemented and housing
education is included in the school curriculum, well-qualified and trained teachers would be
needed to facilitate the learning of the content. Therefore housing education should be
included in student teacher training programmes. The illustrative Unit Standard for Housing
Education developed in this research study is ideally suited for this purpose. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die beskikbaarstelling van behuising in Suid-Afrika is 'n nasionale prioriteit. Aangesien baie
aspirant huiseienaars nog nie vantevore huise besit het nie, is hulle nie noodwendig ingelig
oor die struikelblokke van huiseienaarskap nie. Alhoewel die regering korttermyn pogings
aangewend het om behuisingverbruikers toe te rus met die nodige kennis en vaardighede om
ingeligte en verantwoordelike behuisingsbesluite te kan neem, toon navorsing dat daar 'n
behoefte is aan 'n langtermyn, standhoudende oplossing in die vorm van opvoeding en die
opleiding van behuisingsverbruikers. Daar moet 'n doelgerigte strewe wees om
behuisingsopvoeding aan verbruikers te verskaf aangesien almal die konstitusionele reg tot
gepaste behuising het. Tensy verbruikers toegerus word met gepaste kennis en inligting om
ingeligte besluite te kan neem, sal hierdie reg nie gerealiseer kan word nie, en sal die
behuisingsmark nie effektief kan funksioneer nie.
Die hoofdoelwit van die navorsingstudie was om die basiese behuisingskennis van senior
onderwysstudente aan die Esikhawini College of Education in KwaZulu Natal te bepaal. Die
tweede doelwit was om 'n Eenheidstandaard vir Behuisingsopvoeding vir
onderwysprogramme op die vyfde vlak van die Nasionale Kwalifikasie Raamwerk (NKR) te
ontwikkel.
Die sestien Behuisingsopvoeding en -opleiding kernkonsepte wat deur Serfontein (2001: 120)
geïdentifiseer is, naamlik Basiese Behuisingstegnologie, Gemeenskap, Kulturele Aspekte van
Behuising, Omgewing, Finansiële Aspekte van Behuising, Behuisingsverbruik,
Behuisingsontwerp en -versiering, Behuisingsmark, Behuisingsbehoeftes, Behuisingsbeleid,
Regsaspekte van Behuising, Hulpbronbestuur, Rolspelers in Behuising, Bronne van
behuisingsinformasie, Huisverblyfopsies en Tipes Behuising is gebruik om 'n vraelys op te
stel wat ingevul is deur die senior onderwysstudente aan die Esikhawini College of Education.
Die doel was om die basiese kennis van die respondente te bepaal. Die data wat ingesamel
is, het die onderbou gevorm van die Behuising Eenheidstandaard wat in dié navorsingstudie
ontwikkel is. Die ontwikkeling van Eenheidstandaarde vir Behuisingsopvoeding en Opleiding
is noodsaaklik en tydig vir die Departement van Behuising, aangesien hulle poog om 'n sistematiese behuisingsverbruikers-opvoedingsraamwerk vir Suid-Afrika daar te stel. Die
Departement het aanbeveel dat behuisingsopvoeding ingesluit moet word in die formele
onderwyskurrikulum.
As die aanbevelings van die Departement van Behuising geïmplementeer word, en
behuisingsopvoeding in die skoolkurrikulum ingesluit word, sal goedgekwalifiseerde,
opgeleide onderwysers benodig word om hierdie inligting aan die leerders voor te hou. Om
hierdie rede moet behuisingsopvoeding ingesluit word in die opleidingsprogramme van
onderwysstudente. Die Eenheidstandaard vir Behuising wat in hierdie studie ontwikkel is, sou
optimaal aangewend kon word vir hierdie doel.
