Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the support needs of students at Sekhukhune College of
Education. The study assessed the effectiveness and efficiency of available support
services, AND explored the possibilities for new services based on students' needs, as
well as strategies and activities for the delivery of new services.
The questionnaire was administered to 182 (one hundred-and-eighty-two) course three
learners in JPTD, SPTD and STD classes at Sekhukhune College of Education.
Indications from the research findings were as follows:
• Recruitment, admission and registration, orientation, library, residence and
accommodation, health and medical, as well as academic advising were found
to be available student support services at Sekhukhune College.
• Among the available student support services, recruitment, orientation,
admission and registration were found to be effective and efficient.
With regard to the possibilities for new student support services for delivery,
it was found that the college is not resourceful enough to deal with those
services and strategies that are available.
•
The focus-group interviews were administered to 13 (thirteen) staff members of
Sekhukhune College of Education. The most important findings were:
• The issue of academic advising as a way of mentoring learners has been left in
the hands of individual subject-lecturers. Hence, the college has not yet
adopted any appropriate method of dealing with the issue of mentoring as a
student support service.
• The library, financial aid and health care centre were found to be the most
needed support services for students.
The summative conclusion the researcher drew from the study was that the available
student support services that are ineffective and inefficient override those that are effective and efficient. The general recommendation was that the college should put more
effort into the. improvement of student support services that were found to be ineffective
and inefficient. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsmg het die ondersteuningsbehoeftes van studente aan die Sekhukhune
Onderwyskollege ondersoek. Die doeltreffendheid en doelmatigheid van beskikbare
ondersteuningsdienste is geassesseer, moontlikhede vir nuwe dienste wat op studente se
behoeftes gegrond is, is ondersoek, en strategieë en aktiwiteite vir die lewering van nuwe
dienste, is verken.
Die vraelys is aan 182 (eenhonderd twee en tagtig) derde jaarstudente in JPOD-, SPODen
SOD-klasse aan die Sekhukhune Onderwyskollege voorgelê. Die
navorsingsbevindingshet die volgende aangedui:
• Werwing, toelating en registrasie, oriëntering, biblioteek,. inwoning en
akkommodasie, gesondheids- en mediese dienste, asook akademiese
raadgewing, was beskikbare ondersteuningsdienste aan die kollege.
• Onder die beskikbare studente-ondersteuningsdienste was werwmg,
oriëntering, toelating en registrasie doeltreffend en doelmatig.
• Met betrekking tot die moontlikhede vir nuwe studente-ondersteuningsdienste
en leweringstrategieë, is bevind dat die kollege nie die vermoë het om die
beskikbare dienste te hanteer nie.
Die fokusgroep-onderhoude is met 13 (dertien) personeellede aan die Sekhukhune
Onderwyskollege gevoer. Die belangrikste bevindinge was:
• Akademiese raadgewing as 'n wyse om leerders te mentor, is in die hande van
individuele vakdosente gelaat. Gevolglik het die kollege nog geen toepaslike
model aanvaar om die kwessie van mentorskap as 'n studenteondersteuningsdiensaan
te pak nie.
Die biblioteek, geldelike bystand en 'n gesondheidsorgsentrum is die
ondersteuningsdienste wat as die heel noodsaaklikste vir die studente beskou
word. Die summatiewe afleidings wat die navorser gemaak het, was dat die beskikbare
studente-ondersteuningsdienste wat ondoeltreffend en ondoelmatig is, dié oorskadu wat
wel doeltreffend en doelmatig is. Die algemene aanbeveling was dat die kollege fnbaie
groot poging moet aanwend om dié studente-ondersteuningsdienste wat as ondoeltreffend
en ondoelmatig bevind is, te verbeter.
