Text in Afrikaans / In hierdie studie is die aard en gevolge van bendegeweld onder kinders in die vroeë
adolessente jare by bendegeteisterde skole in die Wes-Kaap ondersoek ten einde
terapeutiese riglyne te bepaal vir leerders wat bendegeweld by die skool ervaar. Die
verskynsel van bendegeweld is in die literatuur ondersoek. Die bio-ekologiese teorie van
Urie Bronfenbrenner het as teoretiese grondslag vir die navorsing gedien, welke teorie
die wedersydse invloed wat persone en hul omgewing op mekaar het, beskryf.
Trauma by die vroeë adolessent en drie bestaande modelle vir traumaberading word
bespreek, waarna ’n stel maatstawwe vir ’n traumaberadingsmodel uit die drie modelle
sowel as die literatuur gekies word.
Die empiriese navorsing is deur middel van sowel kwantitatiewe- as kwalitatiewe
navorsingsmetodes gedoen. ’n Fokusgroepbespreking én onderhoude met onderwysers
en skoolhoofde het plaasgevind om diepgaande inligting oor behoeftes ná voorvalle van
bendegeweld te verkry. Twee in-diepte onderhoude is met persone wat kenners op die
gebied van bendes en bendegeweld is, gevoer. Vervolgens is twee vraelyste, een vir
leerders en een vir onderwysers en skoolhoofde, opgestel om vas te stel watter hulp
hulle met betrekking tot ’n trauma-intervensieprogram benodig. Die studie het bevind
dat bendegeweld leerders se akademiese prestasie sowel as hul emosionele en sosiale
funksionering raak, terwyl dit gevoelens van magteloosheid en frustrasie by
onderwysers en skoolhoofde veroorsaak.
Die studie sluit af met ’n verskeidenheid aanbevelings oor die daarstel van terapeutiese
riglyne vir opvoeders om die impak van bendegeweld op leerders by skole in
bendegeteisterde gebiede te hanteer. / This study investigated the nature and effects of gang violence among children in the
early adolescent stage of development at gang-infested schools in the Western Cape in
order to identify therapeutic guidelines for learners who experience gang violence at
school. The phenomenon of gang violence was explored in the literature study. The bioecosystems
theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner was employed as the theoretical basis for the
study, which describes the reciprocal influence between humans and their environment.
Early adolescent trauma and three existing models for trauma counselling are discussed,
followed by the selection of a set of criteria for a trauma counselling model based on the
three models as well as the literature studied.
The empirical research was carried out through both quantitative and qualitative
research methodologies. A focus group discussion as well as interviews with educators
and principals were conducted in order to obtain in-depth information on their needs
after incidents of gang violence. Two in-depth interviews have been conducted with
professionals who are experts in the domain of gangs and gang related violence. This led
to the development of two questionnaires, one for learners and one for educators and
principals, to determine what type of support they need in terms of a trauma intervention
programme. The study found that gang violence severely affects learners’ academic
performance as well as their emotional and social functioning, while it creates feelings
of frustration and powerlessness among teachers and principals.
The study concludes by offering a range of recommendations for the formulation of
therapeutic guidelines for educators to address the effects of gang violence on learners
who attend schools in gang-infested areas. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
