Thesis (Masters Diploma (Teacher Training)) -- Cape Technikon, 1991 / One aspect of modern technology which affects today's society
is the use of computers. Against this background a
study of curriculation is made and a needs assessment
done on word-processing for commercial education students
at South African technikons.
In order to determine the needs for training in wordprocessing
amongst commercial teachers in the Cape Province,
permission was obtained from the Cape Department of Education
to sent out a questionnaire. A second questionnaire
was distributed to lecturers who train commercial
teachers at technikons in the Republic of South Africa in
order to obtain knowledge and insight which could lead to
the establishment of criteria for the tuition of word-processing
to the said education students. This study is
supported by a continuous literature study.
According to the random sample the commercial teachers
mentioned regarding word-processing skills as very important
and would like to attend a short in-service training
course in this respect.
Based on feedback on the other questionnaire distributed
to lecturers at the five South African technikons currently
training commercial teachers, criteria were formulated
for the presentation of word-processing to commercial education
students. Personal interviews on word-processing were conducted
with experts in the field of education in order to verify
indicators from both the questionnaires mentioned.
With reference to personal interviews, the questionnaires
and the literature study a curriculum model for wordprocessing
was drawn up to be used during the training of
commercial education students at technikons.
