The assessment of learning programmes for the senior phase at environmental education centres in Mpumalanga

The researcher thinks that there is a need to assess learning programmes for the Senior Phase
learners at Environmental Education Centres (EEC' s) in Mpumalanga in order to ensure that
resources provided by the Department of Agriculture Conservation and Environment in
Mpumalanga(DACEM) are utilized for what they are intended. Thus the dissertation investigation
is about whether learning programmes for the Senior Phase learners in Mpumalanga are assessed
for their quality, namely, effectiveness and relevancy within the Outcomes-Based Education
(OBE) system.
Each directorate or section of the Mpumalangas' Department of Agriculture Conservation and
Environment is obliged to ensure that appropriate policy guidelines are put in place to assist
Environmental Officers (EO' s) to implement the Core Functions of the Environmental Education
(EE) Directorate. Sometimes EO's need assistance in implementing policy guidelines. In this
investigation EO' s were provided with an opportunity to translate policy into action by
participating in the workshops conducted by the researcher.
The participation of the EO' s meant that they had to learn how to develop learning programmes
that are strongly guided by the EE Directorate's policy guidelines and Core Functions. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Environmental Education)
