A research report submitted to the Faculty of Management,
University of the Witwatersrand, in 25% fulfilment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of Management (in
the field of Public and Development Management) 2015. / The purpose of the study was to explore the township schools foundation
phase teachers' experiences in the implementation of CAPS with regard to
curriculum implementation and how their knowledge and experiences
influence the implementation of the curriculum. The literature review
provides insights into the current practices regarding CAPS in the
foundation phase in South African primary schools comparatively
throughout the world.
A qualitative case study research was adopted for this study and semistructured
interviews. The findings highlight that although teachers
experienced challenges in implementing CAPS, they acknowledge the
benefits of previous workshops. The article recommends that curriculum
designers and the Department of Education need to urgently review
CAPS. It has been emphasised that teachers need to be actively involved
during the review process. Amongst all the requirements for curriculum
implementation, teachers need to be constantly monitored and supported
to ensure the quality of teaching and learning. / AC2016
