Thesis (MEd (Educational Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aims to establish whether the support of the Teacher Support
Team (TST) might have an impact on High School learners to stay in school.
My specific focus was on how the TST members experienced the support that
was given to learners and how learners experienced the support given to
them. I used a basic interpretive design. I used focus group discussions and
semi-structured interviews. My study shows that the TST of a High School
needs to have a proper structure to function in building resilience in learners.
A proper structure will enable them to develop a healthy support system that
could address the various barriers in learning that learners may encounter. All
the role players, who were involved in the research, knew their rights and
responsibilities towards this process. I conclude by acknowledging the
limitations of this study and recommending further research. / AFRIKAANS OPSOMMING: Hierdie ondersoek is daarop gemik om vas te stel in watter mate die
ondersteuning van die Onderwys Ondersteunings Span (OOS) ‘n invloed het
op Hoërskool leerders om op skool te bly. My spesifieke fokus was op hoe die
lede van die OOS die ondersteuning, wat hulle vir die leerders gebied het,
ondervind het en hoe die leerders die ondersteuning, wat hulle by die OOS
ontvang het, ondervind het. Ek het van fokusgroepe en semi-gestruktureerde
onderhoude gebruik gemaak. My ondersoek toon dat die OOS van Hoërskole
‘n meer gestruktureerde stelsel nodig het waarbinne hulle kan funksioneer. ‘n
Gestruktureerde stelsel sal verseker dat daar ‘n gesonde ondersteunings
sisteem gebou word. Dit sal ook verseker dat leerders met leerstoornisse se
behoeftes aangespreek kan word. Alle rolspelers was ten volle bewus van hul
verantwoordelikheid in die navoringsproses. Ten slotte wil ek, in die lig van
sekere tekortkominge wat by hierdie studie ervaar is, verdere navorsing op
hierdie terrein aanbeveel.
