Perceptions of the accelerated Christian education programme as preparation for tertiary education

This study seeks to explore aspects of the educational practice of the Accelerated
Christian Education (ACE) programme.
The philosophy (the Christian underpinnings) and pedagogy (mastery learning) of the
ACE programme as contemporary educational practice is examined against a
background of educational reform movements such as outcomes-based education.
In addition, the thesis examines the issue of what it takes for a student to succeed in
tertiary education, investigates the stated claims of the ACE programme in this regard,
and then scrutinises these claims, in an empirical study, that includes ACE graduates,
their parents and university admissions officers.
Finally recommendations are made to those who use the programme in schools
regarding any perceived strengths and/or weaknesses in the programme itself, or in the
management and implementation of the programme, with a view to enhancing the educational experience of high school students preparing to enter the realm of tertiary education. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed.(Educational Management)
