Classroom practices of some natural sciences teachers of the Vhembe District, Limpopo Province

Abstracts in English, Sotho and Afrikaans / The purpose of this study was to explore the classroom practices of Senior Phase
Natural Sciences teachers in some of the schools of the Vhembe District. Qualitative
case study approach was employed and three teachers participated. The following
research questions were explored: What is the level of the teacher’s subject-matter
knowledge in the teaching of Natural Sciences (NS)? What is the nature of the
teacher’s instructional strategies in the teaching of NS? How does the teacher’s
subject-matter knowledge and instructional strategies shape the teachers’
classroom interaction and discourse in the teaching of NS? Interviews, observations
and a questionnaire have been used for data collection. Teachers used their
teaching experiences to teach NS. Results indicated lack of teachers, facilities and
resources. It is recommended that the Department of Education as an arm of
government should see that schools have the facilities, resources and teachers they
need for proper teaching and learning as well as providing sufficient workshops to
improve teachers’ classroom practices. / Sepheo sa thuto ena e ne e le ho hlahloba mekhoa ea litlelase tsa matichere a

Natuurwetenskappe-onderwysers in sommige skole van skole in die Vhembe-distrik
te ondersoek. Kwantitatiewe gevallestudie-benadering was in diens en drie
onderwysers het deelgeneem. Die volgende navorsingsvrae is ondersoek: Wat is
die aard van die onderwyser se onderwyser kennis in die onderrig van
Natuurwetenskappe? Wat is die aard van onderwyser se onderrigstrategiee in die
onderrig van Natuurwetenskappe? Hoe vorm die onderwyser se kennis en
onderrigstrategiee die onderwyser se klasinteraksie en-diskoers in die onderrig van
Natuurwetenskappe? Onderhoude, waarnemings en vraelys wat gebruik word vir
data-insameling. Deelnemers het hul onderrigervarings gebruik om
Natuurwetenskappe te onderrig. Resultate dui op gebrek aan Natuurwetenskappeonderwysers,
fasiliteite en-bronne. Dit word aanbeveel dat die regering en die
Departement van Onderwys moet sien dat skole fasiliteite, hulpbronne en
onderwysers het vir behoorlike onderrig en leer, asook voldoende werkwinkels om
onderwysers se klaskamerpraktyke te verbeter. / Science and Technology Education / M. Ed. (Natural Science Education)
