Magister Curationis - MCur / Service-learning (SL) is regarded as a teaching and learning method combining community
participation with content-based class discussion and reflection. It involves a teaching and
learning assessment process with community members. It therefore combines theory-based
knowledge learnt at a Higher Education Institution (HEI) and the learning experiences
produced through community engagement. National guidelines developed by the Higher
Education Quality Committee (HEQC) are available for higher education to institutionalise
service-learning (SL) in South African HEIs, but widespread inconsistencies with the
implementation of these guidelines have been reported. This thesis is informed by a previous
study conducted at an HEI in Western Cape that identified constraining factors required to
institutionalisation SL within an academic programme.
The aim of this study was to determine the institutional support needed for embedding
service-learning in nursing at a Higher Education Institution in the Western Cape.
A quantitative, descriptive, cross sectional survey design was used. The study population
consisted of 60 nurse educators (lecturers and clinical supervisors). All-inclusive sampling
was used because of the small number in the population. All questions were statistically
analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 24) to provide descriptive
statistics. The data was summarized, and the descriptive statistics were presented as
frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation.
