Background Due to the restructuring of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in 1996, as well as other factors, Police Social Work Services decided to broaden the scope of its services to also include pro-active, capacity building interventions. The result was the development of 15 personnel capacity building programmes by 1999. The need arose for a comprehensive impact assessment of these programmes and the Evaluation of Personnel Capacity Building Programmes (EPCBP) study was subsequently launched in 2001. The evaluation of the Problem Solving, Planning of Goals and Time Management Programmes formed part of this research. Objectives: The primary aim of the study was to determine the effect of the Problem solving , Planning of Goals and Time Management Programmes on SAPS personnel's knowledge, attitude and behaviour. Method: In the research, the comparison group pre-test and post-test design and triangulation were used. Fourteen measurement scales and a presenter's evaluation questionnaire were developed and utilized. It involved 666 experimental group respondents, 132 comparison group members and 46 presenters. Results: All three of the programmes had a significant effect on the respondents' knowledge, attitude and behaviour and changed their personal and professional life in a very positive manner. The research proved without doubt that the programmes are effective capacity-building tools in the hands of Police Social Work Services. However there are still certain steps to be taken to further improve the programmes. / Thesis (M.A. (MW))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

This thesis investigates students? perceptions about their workload and their approaches to learning, employing a regional polytechnic as a case study. Data was collected using a mixed methods approach. The convenience sample consisted of 269 full-time undergraduate students who completed a questionnaire indicating whether they perceived the workload to be heavy or unmanageable at times, and those who did specified the reasons for their perceptions. All respondents also completed a modified ASSIST instrument to indicate the approach to learning they adopted. Analysis of the questionnaire data indicated that the majority of students perceived their workload to be heavy or unmanageable at times with the main reason given as too many assessments due around the same time. The issues raised from the data confirmed the results of other studies and pointed to a range of issues both internal and external to the institution. Thirty follow-up interviews were conducted to further investigate the issues raised in the questionnaire. A complex picture emerged from the interview data of a number of inter-related aspects in the teaching-learning environment that impacted on perceived workload and approach to learning, including assessment and overloaded curricula, motivation, time management problems resulting from part-time jobs or family commitments, and lecturer support. Trends or patterns signalled by the data provided an important first step to assist in planning changes in the teaching-learning environment at the regional polytechnic. The main recommendations were centred on a long term, collaborative action-research project to be set up within a programme, to review curricula, create a more stimulating and responsive teaching-learning environment, foster learning communities, and ensure a consistent approach to developing generic skills. The aim of the recommendations was to ensure students are motivated to learn, engaged, and have the skills and information needed to be effective learners, which in turn has the potential to change perception of workload and impact on approach to learning.
