Most of the training programmes received by the health advisers in the Gauteng
health promotion directorate, are delivered in a lecture form, whereby trainers
prepare their presentations according to themes chosen by management, without the
involvement of trainees. After training, the health advisers adopt the same attitude
with the individuals they educate.
This study describes how participatory research was carried out to investigate how
health advisers in the Gauteng Province experience and utilise these training
programmes. It articulates the roles of the researcher and participants in the research
process.
The study showed that while it is true that trainees must receive theoretical
information, it is equally true that they must be able to relate that information to their
practical situations. The study indicates that this can occur by introducing a form of
training in which the focus is on both the trainer and trainees as co-learners in the
learning situation. / Social Work / M.A. Soc. Sc. (Mental Health)
