Faktore wat verband hou met die leermotivering en leerhouding van leerders in sekondêre skole in die Upington omgewing. / Factors related to the learning motivation and learning attitude of learners in scondary schools in the Upington areaNel, William Nico 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / The aim was to establish factors related to learning motivation and learning attitude
of learners in historically coloured schools.
An eclectic approach was followed because theoretical views on motivation could
not furnish a comprehensive theory. The definition emerging from this approach
states that motivation is a process started within a person to create a state of need
for satisfaction and happiness that can be reached by instigating and sustaining
goal-directed activity. The link between learning and motivation, as well as related
factors, was ascertained. Determinants of high and low levels of learning motivation
were established. Programmes aimed at higher motivation levels were explored.
Empirically it was proven that grade 9 learners in historically coloured schools
leaned more towards an extrinsic orientation; grade 12's more intrinsic. An
intervention programme is suggested. / Die doel was om vas te stel watter faktore hou verband met die leermotivering en
leerhouding van leerders in histories bruin sekondere skole spesifiek.
'n Eklektiese benadering is gevolg omdat die teoretiese beskouings oor
leerrnotivering nie 'n bevredigende allesomvattende teorie kon verskaf nie. Die
werksdefinisie van motivering is 'n gevolg daarvan en lui as volg: motivering is die
proses wat in die persoon aan die gang gesit word om 'n staat van behoefte na
tevredenheid en geluk te skep wat bereik kan word deur doelgerigte aktiwiteit aan te
stig en aan die gang te hou. Die verband tussen leer en motivering is bepaal asook
die faktore wat verband hou met leermotivering. Bepalers van hoe en lae
leermotiveringsvlakke is vasgestel en ingrypingsprogramme gemik op verhoogde
motivering is ondersoek. Empiries is bewys dat die graad 9-leerders meer geneig is
tot ekstrinsieke orienterings rakende leermotivering; graad 12-leerders meer
intrinsiek. 'n lngrypingsprogram word voorgestel. / Teacher Education / M. Ed. (met spesialisering in Voorligting)

Great expectations : the relations between expectancies for success and academic achievementMoore, Caryl 04 1900 (has links)
The main aims of this broad exploratory study were (a) to gain insights as to the
possible interrelations between Unisa students' expectations for success and a
variety of significant variables (such as their academic performance, self-perceptions,
confidence, motivation, self-determination, others' expectancies, locus of control and
attributions relating to previous performance), and (b) to discover possible
differences relating to various groups (i.e. racial and gender groups; 'pass' and 'fail'
groups; and 'realistic' and 'unrealistic' groups).
The results of 61 hypotheses are compared with a variety of theoretical
suggestions and past findings. It was found that, on the whole, the various groups,
inter alia, expected to succeed, were confident about the accuracy of their
expectations, perceived themselves to work hard, considered themselves to have
considerable ability and to be above class average. Despite this rosy outlook many
students failed the examinations. Two of the most striking findings of this study were
that (a) those who failed overestimated their future performance to a significantly
greater extent than those who passed, and (b) overestimations were negatively
correlated with achievement. In contrast to theory and numerous research findings,
the psychological profiles of 'overoptimists', 'realists', and 'underestimators' revealed
that overoptimistic expectancies and self-perceptions appear to be maladaptive in an
academic context. Indeed, the findings suggest that accurate or even underoptimistic
self-assessments may be more conducive to academic success. It is proposed that
overoptimism may reflect ignorance of standards required, of adequate study
methods, or may result in inappropriate preparation. In light of the findings, the
implications and possible benefits and dangers of overoptimistic expectations and
self-perceptions are discussed.
The subjects are 715 third year Unisa psychology students, who are more
heterogeneous than most other university students as they not only vary
considerably in age but also come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. / Psychology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Psychology)

Relasieterapieteorie : 'n opvoedkundige sielkundige teorie vir diagnose en terapie / The relationship therapy theory : an educational psychological theory for diagnosis and therapyPienaar, Emily 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and Engish / There is at present a lack of consensus in the Educational
Psychological domain to a universal point of departure of a
uniform approach for Educational Psychologists. Educational
Psychologists have become increasingly aware that the
therapy and theories that they use for diagnoses and therapy
are not based on educational theories. They frequently fall
back on existing psychological schools of thought with the
result that very few of the educational theories feature
there in.
The purpose of this dissertation is therefore:
• To devise an accountable educational psychological theory
which will lead to the integrating of psychological and
educational insights.
• To devise diagnostic and research models to create an
accountable design in practice.
• To utilize the essence of
educational psychology
educational psychologists
for diagnoses and therapy. / Daar bestaan tans in die Opvoedkundige Sielkundige vakgebied
'n gebrek aan konsensus ten opsigte van 'n gemeenskaplike
vertrekpunt vir 'n eenheidsbenadering vir opvoedkundige
sielkundiges. Opvoedkundige sielkundiges het toenemend
daarvan bewus geword dat die terapie en teoriee wat hulle
gebruik vir diagnose en terapie nie gebaseer is op
opvoedkundige teoriee nie, maar gewoonlik terugval op
bestaande sielkundige skole en denkrigtings met die gevolg
dat baie min van die opvoedkundige teoriee daarin voorkom.
Die doel van die proefskrif is gevolglik om:
• 'n Verantwoordbare opvoedkundige sielkundige teorie: "Die
Relasieterapieteorie" daar te stel wat sal lei tot die
integrering van sielkundige- en opvoedkundige insigte.
• Diagnoserings- en navorsingsmodelle daar te stel ten
einde 'n verantwoordbare praktykontwerp te skep.
• Die Relasieterapieteorie in praktyk te veroperasionaliseer
om die opvoedkundige sielkundige essensies in die
praktyk in te dra en aan opvoedkundige sielkundiges 'n
gemeenskaplike vertrekpunt te gee vir diagnose en

An intervention programme to improve the self-concept and attitudes of prospective mathematics teachersMoyana, Hlengani Jackson 06 1900 (has links)
This study attempted to design and implement an intervention programme to
improve the self-concepts and attitudes of prospective primary school teachers.
The possible effects of the programme were researched by means of a combined
quantitative and qualitative approach. A questionnaire to determine the
effectiveness of the programme was also designed. Important findings of this
study are that:
(a) the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient indicated a 0,9 reliability of the designed
questionnaire;
(b) the average self-concepts of prospective teachers improved after the
intervention programme was implemented, though not significantly and
(c) the self-concepts of prospective teachers not majoring in Mathematics
also improved after the intervention, though not significantly.
A focus group interview was conducted to improve the intervention programme.
On the basis of the responses of the participants in the focus group interview as
well as of the quantitative study and of the literature reviewed, an improved
version of the intervention programme was designed. According to the research,
the programme should include: cooperative learning; everyday life contexts;
manipulatives; hands-on activities, encouraging the asking of questions; a
positive relationship between lecturer and student; writing assignments before
doing a new topic; content relevance; a positive communication of assessment;
games; various approaches to solving problems; understandable language;
gender sensitivity and positive role modeling.
The intervention programme implemented in this study was tested over a period
of three months; hence the recommendation in this research for the replication
thereof over a longer period. The study further recommends that since the study
was conducted in one college of education only, there is a need for it to be
conducted in a number of colleges, in order to elicit a broader and more
representative picture of the impact of the intervention programme.
The findings of this study advocate the need to combine both quantitative and
qualitative research in studies: the results of the quantitative research did not
conclusively indicate a positive impact of the intervention programme. However,
the qualitative research saw respondents expressing improved confidence and
attitudes. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Enhancing realistic academic self-actualisation : a psycho-andragogical perspective / Bevordering van realistiese akademiese selfaktualisering : 'n Psigo-andragogiese perspektiefSonnekus, Ingrid Phyllis 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / This research was triggered by the need to assist first year students in a way which had not
been addressed by the people involved with the upliftment of disadvantaged students. The
aspect which was addressed was the personal growth of the adult learner within the
academic situation with consideration of his own personal circumstances and ideals. This
means that a micro level approach was generated by creating the Academic Enhancement
Programme (AEP). The purpose of the programme is to give adult learners the opportunity
to understand themselves and their own value systems better on a micro, meso and macro
level, to experience personal growth or self-actualisation and to see how these factors
influence the adult learners' interaction with the tertiary academic situation.
Eight possible value systems were discussed and introduced to the adult learners who
participated in the Academic Enhancement Programme. The adult learners were given the
opportunity to measure themselves against the value systems and to evaluate how these
influenced their realistic academic self-actualisation. The psycho-andragogical categories
were utilised during the application of the programme as criteria to evaluate the
effectiveness of the programme.
The following recommendations were made
• the creation of a faculty specific induction programme
• linking study packages directly to the context of adult learners
• organising personal academic contact
• giving personal academic support
• making the evaluation procedures transparent
• creating and supporting informal study groups
Although the study has certain limitations, it should be of great value to the university
system during the transformation phase that it is experiencing at present. The main aim
of the study is, however, the contribution to the academic growth of the adult learner in the
tertiary situation / Hierdie navorsing het ontstaan vanuit die behoefte om eerstejaarstudente op 'n bepaalde
wyse te ondersteun. Hierdie wyse is nog nie aangespreek deur mense wat met
benadeelde studente gewerk het nie. Die aspek wat ondersoek is, is die persoonlike groei
wat volwasse leerders ervaar binne die akademiese situasie met inagneming van hulle eie
persoonlike omstandighede en ideale. Dit het beteken dat daar deur middel van 'n
mikrobenadering 'n Akademiese Verrykingsprogram geskep moes word. Die doel van die
program is drievoudig: Dit meet aan volwasse leerders die geleentheid bied om hulleself
en hulle waardesisteme beter te verstaan in 'n mikro-, meso- en makroverband; om
persoonlike groei I selfaktualisering te ervaar en om tot die besef te kom dat hierdie
aangeleenthede hulle interaksie met die tersiere akademiese situasie be'invloed.
Agt verskillende waardesisteme is bespreek en aan die volwasse leerders wat aan die
Akademiese Verrykingsprogram deelgeneem het, voorgehou. Die volwasse leerders het
die geleentheid gekry om hulself aan hierdie waardesisteme te meet. Hulle kon ook in die
loop van die program vasstel hoe dit hulle realistiese akademiese selfaktualisering
be'invloed. Die psigo-andragogiese kategoriee is tydens die toepassing van die program
as kriteria gebruik om die effektiwiteit van die program te bepaal.
Die volgende aanbevelings is gemaak:
• dat 'n fakulteit-spesifieke induksieprogram geskep meet word,
• dat studiepakkette direk aan die volwasse leerder se verwysingsraamwerk
gekoppel meet word,
• dat persoonlike akademiese ondersteuning gebied meet word,
• dat persoonlike kontak op akademiese gebied bewerkstellig moet word,
• dat evalueringsprosedures deursigtig gemaak meet word,
• dat informele studiegroepe tot stand gebring en onderhou meet word.
Alhoewel die studie aan verskeie beperkings onderhewig is, behoort dit vir die
universiteitswese tydens die huidige transformasiegebeure van groot waarde te wees. Die
belangrikste doel van die navorsing is egter die bydrae wat dit kan lewer tot die akademiese
groei van die volwasse leerder in die tersiere situasie. / Psychology of Education / D.Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Riglyne vir 'n terapeutiese begeleidingsprogram vir lyers aan Urbach-Wiethe sindroom / Guidelines for a therapeutic programme for sufferers from Urbach-Wiethe syndromeSteenkamp, Helena Catharina 01 1900 (has links)
Urbach-Wiethe Sindroom (beter bekend as lipo"ied prote"inose of hyalinosis cutis et mucosae) is
'n seldsame, outosomaal-oorerflike siekte. Die kenmerkendste simptome van die siekte is
vel- en slymvliesveranderinge wat deur 'n neerslag van ekstrasellulere hialienagtige materiaal van
onbekende oorsprong veroorsaak word. Die vel word maklik beseer, genees stadig en lelike,
pokagtige letsels ontstaan. 'n Fyn, korrelagtige neerslag op die ooglede, die sogenaamde
"kralestringvoorkoms" kenmerk die siekte, sowel as heesheid, die prominentste en lastigste
simptoom, wat sedert geboorte teenwoordig kan wees. Radiografie en tomografie toon
bilaterale,boontjievormige verkalking op die temporale lobbe van die brein, wat tot epileptiese
aanvalle en ander neuropsigiese simptome soos geremde geheue en aggressie lei.
Heesheid veroorsaak kommunikatiewe beperkinge vir die lyer,terwyldie opsigtelike velletsels
aversiewe- en die verkalkings onsigbare beperkinge meebring.
Die lyer aan Urbach-Wiethe Sindroom kan volgens die beginsels en kriteria van die
medies-kliniese, die persoonsgeorienteerde en die sosio-omgewingsperspektiewe gestremdheid
ondervind. Teoreties kan die lyer se belewinge van sy andersheid en die nie-aanvaardingdeurdie
gemeenskap, soos by gestremdes,die handhawing van sy selfagting rem, sodat 'n negatiewe
selfkonsep tot skuldgevoelens, angsbelewinge en depressie kan lei.
'n Betekenisvolle verband is in die empiriese ondersoek tussen die graad van aantasting en
wanaanpassing in die lyer se leefwereld gevind. Die lyers wat ernstig aangetas is, identifiseer
moeilik met hulle fisieke voorkoms. ldentiteitsvorming word gerem en die selfagting is
negatief. Hulle openbaar 'n negatiewe selfkonsep en depressiewe gevoelens met selfmoordgedagtes.
Hulle relasies en sosialisering is problematies en hulle voel hulle word nie deur die
gemeenskap aanvaar nie. Die lyers ondervind 'n algemene wanaanpassing in hulle leefwereld. 'n
Geval van paranoia is ook gevind. Alhoewel die ouers vrae oor die toestand het en sekere
emosies beleef, kan die meeste van hulle die situasie hanteer.
Riglyne vir 'n terapeutiese begeleidingsprogram vir lyers aan Urbach-Wiethe
Sindroom, wat op die verbetering van die selfkonsep; die hantering van depressie, aggressie en
woedebuie, asook die verbetering van relasies en sosialisering gerig is, is saamgestel. 'n
Ondersteuningsgroep waarby lyers en hulle ouers kan inskakel, is gestig. / Urbach-Wiethe Syndrome, also known as lipoid proteinosis or hyalinosis cutis et
mucosae, is a rare, recessively inherited, autosomal disorder characterized by lesions of the
skin and mucosae, caused by widespread deposition of hyaline material of unknown etiology. The
skin injures easily and heals slowly with "pock like" lesions. Bead-like deposits on the eyelids,
called "string of pearls",are often found. Present since early infancy, hoarseness is the
first, and most striking, irritating symptom. Bean-shaped intracranial calcification within the
temporallobes
of the brain in the area of the hippocampus, shown up by radiography and tomography, may
cause epileptic seizures and other neuropsychological complications like impaired memory and
aggression.
The sufferer experiences communicative impairment through hoarseness, aversive
impairment because of the conspicuous lesions, and concealed impairment as a result of the
calcifications. According to the medical-clinical,person-orientated and socio-environmental
perspectives on disability, a sufferer of Urbach-Wiethe Syndrome may experience disability.
Like disabled persons, the sufferer finds it difficult to identify with his physical
appearance. Impaired identity formation and low self-esteem cause a negative self
concept.
Feelings of guilt,anxiety and depression result from perceived dissimilarity, social rejection and
low self-esteem. Socialising is adversely affected.
A significant relationship was found in the empirical study between the extent to which the
sufferer is affected and the degree of maladjustment in his life-world. Seriously affected
sufferers display a negative self-concept and feelings of depression with suicidal thoughts.
Socialisation and relationships are problematic and sufferers feel unaccepted by the community.
General maladjustment in the life-world is experienced. A case of paranoia was reported.
Except for some questions and unresolved feelings about the disease,most parents are able to cope
with the situation.
Guidelines have been set for a therapeutic programme for sufferers from Urbach Wiethe Syndrome
aimed at enhancing self-concept, coping with depression and aggression, and improving
relationships and socialising. A support group has been ounded for sufferers and their parents. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Sielkundige Opvoedkunde)

The role of teachers in the identity formation of adolescents restrained in their becomingSutcliffe, Carol Maurine 11 1900 (has links)
Certain adolescents are restrained in their becoming owing to a variety of family, school and relational factors, such as inappropriate adult role models, repeated failure and poor communication skills. Restrained adolescents display inadequate identity formation, partly because they are still endeavouring to define an own identity, instead of having reached the point of refining and stabilising their identity. Through their behaviour in family, school and other relationships they plead for assistance in the formation of their identity, especially at school, where
their plea is often misinterpreted as misbehaviour or attention-seeking, if not completely ignored. They consequently resort to their own ineffective efforts towards a meaningful existence. As an aid to defining adolescents' identity formation, a list of criteria has been compiled, using the essences distilled from the literature study. Four original questionnaires have been devised with a view to investigating restrained adolescents' identity formation from the perspective of adolescents, their parents, and teachers. By means of a qualitative investigation, it was found that: The identity formation of restrained adolescents is on the whole unsatisfactory in every respect. That is to say, they attribute inadequate meaning to life, themselves and their problems; they are not sufficiently involved in what they do, and they are bound by the infantile experiencing of their life-world in.that they are controlled by their feelings and moods. Parents of restrained adolescents tend to be inadequate, particularly
their fathers, who are non-available, either literally or figuratively. Alcoholism, neglect and abuse are common. Teachers of restrained adolescents are generally unaware of the significant role they can play in their identity formation, and need sensitisation and assistance in this area. Adolescents restrained in their becoming demonstrate specific identity formation needs, which concern themselves in various personal modalities and relationships. Teachers are in the position to provide support, not by means of additional scholastic or guidance programmes, but through their approach to these adolescents, to their teaching and education in
general. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed.

Interpersoonlike verrykingsprogram vir multikulturele groepe / An interpersonal enrichment programme for multicultural groupsVlok, Engela Susanna 01 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Ons bevind ons in 'n nuwe Suid-Afrika waar die klem baie sterk op die uitwissing van die
spore van die apartheidsera gele word. Die oopstelling van skole het nie daartoe bygedra
dat kinders hulle vooroordele oorboord gooi en mekaar spontaan aanvaar nie. Die
verandering in wetgewing wat 'n eksterne verandering is, het nie noodwendig tot
verandering van gesindhede gelei nie. Daar kan derhalwe tereg gevra word hoe
versoening tussen mense van verskillende kulture tot stand kan kom.
In hierdie studie is gepoog om vas te stel of 'n verrykingsprogram in groepverband
interpersoonlike vaardighede en verhoudinge van persone van uiteenlopende kulturele
agtergronde kan bevorder. Die program is onder gekontroleerde omstandighede aangebied
en die idiografiese navorsingsmetode is gebruik.
Daar is bepaal watter faktore die aard en die kwaliteit van verhoudinge tussen persone van
verskillende kulturele herkoms be'invloed. Riglyne is gestruktrueer en kriteria is
ge'identifiseer waarvolgens die program saamgestel is. Die ouderdomme van die leertinge
het tussen 15 en 21 jaar gewissel. Tydens die multikulturele groepsbelewing het die
leertinge die geleentheid gehad om persoonlike en interpersoonlike vaardighede te
ontwikkel sodat daar 'n openheid en 'n beg rip vir mekaar ontstaan het. Die interaksie met
persone afkomstig van 'n verskeidenheid oriemtasies het daartoe gelei dat raakpunte in die
diversiteit ontdek is en hulle het mekaar as individue begin erken en verstaan. Nuutgestigte verhoudings was gekenmerk deur vertroue, warmte en empatie. Deur middel van
verbeterde selfbegrip en interpersoonlike vaardighede het die verhoudings tussen
groeplede in verskeie dimensies beduidend verbeter.
Hierdie navorsing het aangetoon dat mense van uiteenlopende kulturele orientasies soos
in Suid-Afrika die geval is, deur middel van ervaringsleer in groepverband, tot grater
eenheid en verdraagsaamheid saamgesnoer kan word. / Psychology of Education / D.Ed. (Psychology of Education)

An educational psychological perspective on the use of filial therapy in mother-child relationshipsArnott, Amanda Margaret 11 1900 (has links)
The different reactions of parents to the discovery that their children had ADD/ADHD has an effect on the primary relationship established between mother and child. This is essential in the later involvement, experience and meaning attribution of the child with respect to all subsequent relationship formation on the child's journey towards his ultimate target, namely self-actualisation. It was felt that psychological intervention could help parents to bond, communicate with and relate to their children without experiencing negative feelings which would enhance parental acceptance. In this study, ten mothers were used to participate in an adapted group Filial Therapy
programme. This unique therapy involves parents as the primary agents to resolve child-related problems and to encourage children's healthy psycho-social development. Results were positive. The mothers felt that they had formed better relationship with their children. They were empowered with knowledge and coping mechanisms, such as reflective listening, setting limits and providing choices. For the first time they were enjoying their ADD/ADHD children. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

Bevordering van selfaktualisering by milieu-geremde leerders binne 'n multikulturele onderwyssisteem / The promotion of selfactualisation of milieu disadvantaged learners with a multi-cultural education systemDe Bruyn, Carina Elizabeth 06 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / The promotion of multi-cultural education and the upliftment of milieu disadvantaged
children are closely related to each other, and is presently an important issue in the
South African educational system. Poor knowledge of milieu disadvantaged children
and multi-cultural education result in the loss of valuable learner potential and the
non-fulfilment of the education policy.
In this study, the promotion of self-actualisation of milieu disadvantaged children within a
multi-cultural education system is discussed from a psychological-educational
perspective. Attention is given to the problems and issues that play a defining role in
the implementation of such an educational system. The influence of the environment en
the development and functioning of milieu disadvantaged learners is investigated
further. Qualitative research is done to identify the developmental areas where most
problems occur. Finally, recommendations are made to the government, teachers and
parents that ~an serve as guidelines to promote the selfactualisation of these learners. / Die bevordering van multikulturele onderwys en die opheffing van die milieu-geremde
leerder hou nou verband met mekaar, en is tans 'n belangrike vraagstuk in die
Suid-Afrikaanse onderwyssisteem. Gebrekkige kennis van milieu-geremdheid en
multikulturele onderwys veroorsaak dat leerderpotensiaal verlore gaan en die
onderwysbeleid nie uitgevoer word nie ..
In hierdie studie word die bevordering van selfaktualisering van milieu-geremde
leerders binne 'n multikulturele onderwyssisteem vanuit 'n opvoedkundig-sielkundige
perspektief bespreek. Aandag word geskenk aan die problema en faktore wat 'n
bepalende rol by die suksesvolle implementering van 'n multikulturele onderwyssisteem
speel. Die invloed van die omgewing op die ontwikkeling en funksionering van
milieu-geremde leerders word verder ondersoek. Kwalitatiewe navorsing is gedoen om
die ontwikkelingsareas waar die meeste problema ervaar word, te identifiseer.
Laastens word aanbevelings aan die regering, onderwysers en ouers gemaak wat as
riglyne kan dien om die selfaktualisering van hierdie leerders te bevorder. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (met spesialisering in Voorligting)
