Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This .study is .almed at exploring teacher attitudes towards learners presenting with
behavior problems and the subsequent strategies they use to manage such problems.
Teachers under consideration are from the Limpopo Province, South Africa. In order to
better understand the impact of such attitudes and strategies, theoretical underpinnings
from the literature as well as the effect of training are also considered. Data gathered from
this study was analysed by means of SPSS using descriptive statistics. High levels of
behavioural problems appear to be present in the respondents' classrooms, with most
teachers attempting to deal with these issues in a contextual manner. Furthermore, those
respondents who have received training would appear to be doing so more than those
teachers who have not received training. Results of this study also highlight areas on
which future research could focus. These include teacher emotions and the effect training
has on these emotions. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doelom onderwysers se houdings te ondersoek teenoor leerders
met gedragsprobleme en die strategieë wat hulle gebruik om sulke probleme te hanteer.
Die onderwysers is woonagtig in die Limpopo Provinsie, Suid Afrika. Deur gebruik te
maak van beskrywende statistiek, is die data wat ingesamel is deur middel van die SPSSprogram
verwerk.
Dit blyk dat die voorkoms van gedragsprobleme hoog is en dat onderwysers dit op
uiteenlopende maniere binne konteks hanteer. Die studie het verder getoon dat die
respondente wat opleiding ontvang het die probleme meer effektief hanteer as daardie
respondente wat nie opleiding ontvang het nie. Die studie beklemtoon die belang van die
houdings van onderwysers in die hantering van gedragsprobleme in die klaskamer en
maak ook aanbevelings vir verdere navorsing in hierdie verband.
