The study explored the classroom practices of Natural Sciences teachers when
teaching the Matter and Material strand in senior phase schools in the Siyabuswa
circuit. The following research questions were explored: What is the nature of the
teacher’s teacher knowledge when teaching Matter and Material strand in the senior
phase schools? What is the nature of the teacher’s instructional strategies when
teaching the Matter and Material strand in the senior phase schools? How does the
teacher’s teacher knowledge and instructional strategies shape the classroom
interactions and discourse? The qualitative case study approach was employed,
wherein three teachers participated. Interviews and observation were used for data
collection. The findings revealed that Natural Science teachers lack content
knowledge and inadequate Subject Matter Knowledge which influences their
instructional strategies, hence their classroom interactions and discourses.
Recommendations were made to the Department of Education and government to
look into the factors that influence the teaching of Natural Sciences as far as teacher’s
knowledge and contextual factors are concerned. / Irhubhululo leli liphathelene nomfundisi nakafundisa ngekumbeni isifundo se Natural
Sciences khulu khulu sitjheje amakghono kunye nobukgwari I Matter and Material
strand emabangeni aphakathi (Senior Phase) isiyingi sange Siyabuswa. Imibuzo
erhujululiweko netsengiweko ngelandelako: inzindzolwazi lomfundisi lingangani lokha
nakafundisa isifundo se Matter and Material strand emabangeni aphakathi (Senior
Phase)? Anjani amakgono womfundisi nakafundisa / nokwethula isifundo se Matter
and Material strand emabangeni aphakathi (Senior Phase)? Ingabe ilwazi neendlela
zokufundisa zomfundisi ziletha njani ukuzwisisa nokuragela phambili kwesifundo
ngekumbeni? Irhubhululo elingeneleleko mayelana nokufuna ilwazi ngesihloko
esingehla lisetjenzisiswe. Kusetjenziswe abafundisi abathathu kulelirhubhulo.
Ukuhlolwa kwelwazi babuzwe imibuzo begodu baphoswa ilihlo elibukhali ukubuthelela
inzinzolwazi. Imiphumela iveze pepeneneni bona abafundisi be Natural Sciences
bayatlhayela ngelwazi kunye nelwazi elingeneleleko mayelana nesifundo, lokho
kunomthelela omumbi ngendlela abathula ngayo ilwazi kunye nendlela yokuzwisisa
kwabafundi. UMnyango wezeFundo kunye norhulumende bayelelisiwe bona batjheje
amaphuzu anemithelela emimbi lokha nakufundiswa isifundo se Natural Sciences
khulu khulu inzinzo lwazi lomfundisi kunye neenqabo zokufunda. / Die studie is die ondersoek na klaskamer praktyke van Natuurwetenskaponderwysers
wanneer onderrig gegee word in Materie-en Materiale vesel in senior fase skole, in
die Siyabuswa omgewing. Die volgende navorsingsvrae was ondersoek: Wat is die
aard van die onderwyser se onderrigkennis wanneer Materie-en Materiale vesel in
senior fase skole onderrig word? Wat is die aard van die onderwyser se
onderrigstrategie wanneer Materie-en Materiale vesel in senior fase skole onderrig
word? Hoe vorm die onderwyser se kennis-en onderrigstrategieë die klas se
interaksies en diskoers? Die kwalititatiewe gevallestudie benadering was toegepas
waartydens drie onderwysers deelgeneem het en die versamelde data gebruik was.
Die bevindinge het die Natuurwetenskaponderwysers se gebrek aan inhoudskennis
en onvoldoende Vakkennis, wat hul onderrigstrategieë nadelig beïnvloed uitgewys,
vandaar hul klaskamer en interaksie diskoerse. Aanbevelings is gemaak aan die
Departement van Opvoeding en die Regering om ondersoek in te stel na wat die
onderrig van Natuurwetenskappe benadeel in so verre dit die kennis van die
onderwysers betref. / Science and Technology Education / M. Ed. (Specialisation in Natural Science Education)
