▼ North-West University in South Africa is committed to expanding use of learning technologies
for contact and distance education students by augmenting the existing NWU teaching and
learning policy with an e-learning policy. The School of Continuing Teacher Education at
North-West University is currently training about 24 000 in-service teacher students through
Open Distance Learning. Only a few students submit assignments in typed format and
seldom electronically. Students rarely use electronic technologies to augment their learning,
and the SCTE employs few to support students. This does not comply with the South African
Government’s policy on e-Education that demands information and communication
technology mastery in teacher training.
The aim of this research was integration of learning technologies in open distance learning at
SCTE NWU through recommendations compiled in a sociologically transformative emergent
implementation framework. The researcher followed a concurrent mixed-method
sociologically transformative approach, focussing on the use of technology for social
empowerment to cross the digital divide, through a theoretical lens of ICT for development.
The lived experience in the natural setting of distance education students, lecturers, and
involved stakeholders was used as initial data collection, informed by a continuous literature
study of emergent learning technology use.
Purposeful sampling was used during participant selection. The role of the researcher was
that of participant observer, interviewer, and human instrument, from a position of
methodological pragmatism as a method of inquiry. Using a design-based research
approach, the thesis addresses the main research question through five research papers;
each addressing one of the sub-questions as design-based research cycles, while
collectively addressing the research problem to address the main research question. Nonstandardised
measuring instruments were developed based on themes identified from
literature and the analysis of qualitative data. Significant barriers to population-wide ICT
adoption exist. Strong intentions of perseverance in attaining functional computer literacy
are evident. Support and enablement are required to promote trust to attempt using
computers, necessary to obtain self-confidence through accomplishment. In this way
perseverance to attain functional computer literacy may be cultivated.
The study presents a model for intention to use, confidence, trust and perseverance in
attaining computer literacy competence with statistically significant standardised regression weights. In terms of affective responses of students during computer literacy training, a twodimensional
model for computer literacy learning emotions is presented. Perceptions during
professional development produced a model for faculty development towards socially
transformative learning technology integration for open distance learning. The researcher
also presents a people-technology interaction in teaching and learning…

▼ This study investigated misconceptions in Algebra of students enrolled for a N2 Engineering certificate
at a Further Education and Training College. The study aimed to investigate these students’
misconceptions relating to Algebra which prohibited them to successfully complete their artisanship.
The purpose of the research was to determine (i) the nature of these misconceptions, and (ii) the
value of screencasts as a technology-enhanced learning (TEL) tool to improve instruction. The research
gap that the researcher addressed related to the Mathematics misconceptions that the N2 students
had, and whether these misconceptions could be adequately addressed by screencasts. The
study method used was a case study design and methodology while simultaneously collecting quantitative
and qualitative data. The findings encompassed the determining of main Mathematics misconceptions,
producing screencasts, and assessing the screencasts with the intended target group. The
study followed a four-phase strategy of testing, interviewing and analysing, and reflection based on
qualitative and quantitative research strategies. During the quantitative research the research participants
completed a biographical questionnaire, as well as a customised diagnostic Algebra test. The
study sample comprised two groups from different trimesters at a rural FET college in the Northern
Cape in Kathu, South Africa. The total population of full-time N2 Engineering students related to 113
participants. The diagnostic test comprised twelve questions from the three main Algebra concepts
relating to: (i) exponents, (ii) equations, and (iii) factorisation. The same customised diagnostic test
confirmed the misconceptions within the same group. Six questions from the customised diagnostic
test identified the central misconceptions. The researcher consequently designed, developed, implemented
and evaluated screencasts with the intended student population according to the design principles
identified during the study. The six questions formed the basis of a second diagnostic test,
which was used in phase three with interviews of ten research participants as part of phase 4 of the
evaluation of the screencasts. At the end of the second trimester students were ask to complete a
questionnaire regarding their use and perceptions of the screencasts—23 participants completed this
voluntary questionnaire. At the end of the trimester ten participants were asked to explain their
method of calculations during a walk-through evaluation while answering Algebra problems. The results
indicated a number of misconception categories: (i) The main reason for misconceptions relating
to equations was the participants’ inadequate understandings of the basic concepts of multiply
methods used in equations; (ii) Index laws seemed to be the biggest misconception where participants
demonstrated insufficient understanding of the laws; and (iii) The participants did not comprehend
the basic concepts of factorisation—they could not identify which method to…

▼ The research investigated the use of Moodle in three tertiary level English language programmes at an institution of higher learning in Namibia, using a qualitative approach. As the use of technology in education has become imperative, it was also mandatory for academics at the research site to incorporate technology into their teaching and learning. It aimed to investigate how Moodle was used to enhance English language teaching and learning, emanating from the need of similar studies in the field and at the research site. Also, the research aimed to uncover the successes and challenges that the lecturers and students experienced in the process of using Moodle. The research adopted a case study design with three embedded sub-units: three English language courses. Six lecturers and 15 students participated in the study. Data were collected through interviews, observation and document analysis and were analysed thematically. The research revealed how the lecturers and students involved in the three English language service courses were enthusiastic about using Moodle and a few successes were notable, but they were also challenged in different ways. Four of the lecturers considered themselves to be beginners as they had only recently started to use Moodle extensively, while the other two considered themselves average users of the system. The study revealed more challenges than successes. Minimal use of Moodle in the fundamental and intermediate English language courses, minimal use of the embedded Moodle communication tools, and limited knowledge and skills in using the system emerged as some of the key challenges. Although the institution had training mechanisms in place, both lecturer and student participants pleaded for more staff training opportunities to enable them to use the tools that were found to be underutilised: the blogs, chat and discussion forums. Drawing on the findings of the study, the guidelines for effective use of Moodle are suggested.; Die navorsing het die gebruik van Moodle in drie Engels-taalprogramme op tersiêre vlak by ’n instelling van hoër onderrig in Namibië aan die hand van ’n kwalitatiewe benadering ondersoek. Aangesien die gebruik van
tegnologie in onderwys noodsaaklik geword het, het dit ook vir akademici wat navorsing doen verpligtend geword om
tegnologie by hulle onderrig en
leer te inkorporeer. Dit het ten doel gehad om ondersoek in te stel na hoe Moodle gebruik word om taalonderrig en -
leer: Engels, te verbeter, wat voortvloei uit die behoefte van soortgelyke studies in die veld en navorsingsterrein. Die navorsing was ook daarop gemik om die suksesse en uitdagings bloot te lê wat die dosente en studente ervaar wanneer hulle Moodle gebruik. Die navorsing het ’n gevallestudie-ontwerp met drie ingebedde subeenhede, drie Engels-taalkursusse, gebruik. Ses dosente en 15 studente het aan die studie deelgeneem. Data is deur middel van onderhoude en dokumentontleding ingesamel en is daarna tematies ontleed. Die navorsing het getoon dat die dosente en studente betrokke by die drie…

▼ Students no longer respond to content-driven, teacher-centred learning. Literature reveals that changes in methodology and pedagogy of teachers needs to take place in order to keep education relevant and engaging. Classrooms where critical thinking, communication, creativity and collaboration are embraced are required in schools. The environment where these components are present can be referred to as 21st century classrooms. Establishing these locales require a leader who is able to create the vision for the changes that need to take place. One who will fashion a learning environment where teachers feel secure and have the confidence through teacher
development to embark on and embrace a new arrangement in their classroom. The principal needs to embrace his/her instructional role in establishing these 21st century classrooms. This research project investigated precisely what the instructional role of the principal necessitates in aiding teachers to establish 21st century classrooms. A qualitative research design, embedded in the constructivist paradigm in the form of a hermeneutic study was chosen as research method. Using semi-structured interviews, the researcher attempted to find out how the principal of each school visited, viewed 21st century classrooms, as well as what skills and knowledge he/she
required as the instructional leader in leading teachers to establish 21st century classrooms. The researcher used purposeful sampling to select the participants who would have the greatest insight into establishing 21st century classrooms at their school. Trustworthiness was ensured in the collection and interpretation of data. The
researcher transcribed the collected data and it was later analysed. Once analysed, the data was interpreted and arranged under the research sub-questions. The findings established that each participant is quite knowledgeable concerning the attributes and characteristics of a 21st century classroom. Many of the principals played a strong instructional role in their school and displayed many of the
characteristics and skills necessary to create an environment where teachers could competently bring 21st century skills and knowledge into their classrooms. In most of the schools visited, 21st century classrooms are well on their way to being established. It is evident that the theory of 21st century classrooms is far more prevalent in some of the schools visited than the practical application thereof. In
some of the schools visited a whole philosophy of learning, which encases all the 21st century attributes has been implemented. Each school could be placed on a continuum, with no one school being at the same space in their journey to implement 21st century skills and knowledge into their teachers’ pedagogy.; Leerders reageer nie meer op inhoudgedrewe en/of onderwysgesentreerde onderrig

▼ The aim of this study is to conduct a thorough theoretical study on mobile learning (mlearning)
in order to achieve the primary objective of the study which is to develop a general
framework to implement and manage mobile technologies in a higher education
environment.
The focus of the literature study was to research the state of mobile technologies and their
relevance to teaching and learning. The literature study investigate the implications of mobile
technologies for students, lecturers and thus for the institution and provided an overview of
frameworks found in literature with the emphasis on the management of m–learning within
the higher education institution.
M–learning is part of a new mobile conception of society, with the mobility of the
technologies impacting on the mobility of the students, the lecturers and ultimately on the
mobility of higher education. Literature suggests that, while m–learning is proving to be
innovative, the factors that most strongly impact on the ultimate success or failure of mlearning
will depend on human factors, the balancing of technological ideals and
pedagogical imperatives, and the successful management of the interface between human
educational systems and technology systems. The proposed general framework focuses
on addressing key issues related to m–learning from the perspective of the student, the
lecturer and thus the institution. In order to remain competitive higher education needs to be
diligent in maintaining the complex technology infrastructure that supports a thriving
mobile culture that will meet and exceed the expectations of both lecturers and students.
The empirical research conducted had as objectives to investigate the mobile technology
assets of respondents with regard to the hardware and the software that they own, the mobile technology actions of respondents in regard to what they do with the mobile
technology that they own and to investigate the respondent's attitude towards mobile
technologies. A survey was designed and distributed to a sampling of the academic staff
and students of the North–West University (NWU) in South Africa, specifically the
Potchefstroom Campus.
There is ample proof from the empirical study that there is a gap with regard to the level of
accessibility, usage, and attitude with regards to the different interest groups in the higher
education environment. Higher education institutions should invest in investigating these
gaps further and in leveraging off the benefits of the effective management of these
technologies to improve teaching and learning.
The final chapter concludes with a summary of the secondary objectives researched in the
literature (Chapter two) and empirical research (Chapter three) chapters in order to support
recommendations towards the primary objective of this study. The rapid pace of adoption
and advancement of mobile technologies creates opportunities for new and innovative
services provided through such mobile devices. Higher education finds itself in the early
innings…

▼ With the implementation of Curriculum 2005 (C2005) in South Africa profound changes were also made to technical education. For example, the name technical education made way for the name technology education, the senior secondary phase was replaced with the Further Education and Training band (FET), the syllabuses made way for curricula and all technical subjects were restructured, reduced and re-curriculated to four new subjects. These four new subjects are defined in the New Curriculum Statement (NCS) documents and should be taught according to the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) principles. This study was undertaken to determine the nature of technology education in the phase, what competencies these teachers should have and what the perceptions of final year students in this phase are, regarding their vocational competencies. The above named objectives were aimed at contributing guidelines with the purpose of improving the training of FET technology teachers.
In order to answer the above named questions a literature review, a qualitative and a
quantitative study was undertaken. The literature revealed that technology teaching in the FET phase in South Africa has to do with education that focuses on the teaching of technological knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. The technology education in this phase focuses on electrical, mechanical, civil and design fields, with emphasis on problem solutions and the achievement of four well-defined outcomes. The implementation of FET technology in South Africa follows the international
trend to place all training with a technical or technology bias under the banner of technology education because teaching only knowledge and skills were no longer sufficient. Because South Africa is still a developing country, there are unique and distinctive problems facing the effective teaching of technology. In order to train teachers effectively for the new curriculum the opinions of practicing school 'principals and experienced teachers in FET technology should be asked to determine what is expected from these novice teachers in practise.
A qualitative study revealed that principals and other senior staff members of technical
schools (FET) have certain expectations with regard to the competencies and capabilities of their technology teachers. These requirements, for example, includes professional competencies, general, teaching and practical skills and abilities such as subject knowledge and didactical knowledge. In a qualitative study, in which 20 of the final year FET technology students participated, it was found that according to them, they are, to a great extent, equipped for their task as teachers. With few exceptions, the students felt that they were well-equipped in terms of professional, general, teaching and practical skills as they were properly guided in subject and didactic knowledge.
As for the training of technical teachers in the FET phase, it was found that the training to a large extent meets the demands of education and the needs of schools, but that there are…

▼ The aim of this study is to ascertain what misconceptions N2 students have about DC resistive circuits
and how screencasts could effect on the rectification of these misconceptions. This study was
conducted at the Kathu Campus of the Northern Cape Rural Further Education and Training College
in the town Kathu in the arid Northern Cape. The empirical part of this study was conducted during
the first six months of 2013. A design-based research (DBR) method consisting of four phases was
used. DBR function is to design and develop interventions such as a procedure, new teachinglearning
strategies, and in the case of this study a technology-enhanced learning (TEL) tool (screencast)
with the purpose of solving a versatile didactic problem and to acquire information about the interventions
of the TEL tool (screencast) on the learning of a student. In the first and second phase of
DBR quantitative data for this research were gathered with the Determining and Interpreting Resistive
Electric circuits Concepts Test (DIRECT) in order to determine the four most common misconceptions.
The DIRECT test was conducted in the first trimester to find the misconceptions; the test was
conducted in the second trimester also to confirm the misconceptions. Further quantitative data were
collected from a demographic questionnaire. The qualitative data were collected by individual interviews
in the fourth phase of the research project. Phase three of this study was the development of
screencasts in the four most prominent misconceptions in DC resistive circuits of the students. The
respondents of this study were non-randomly chosen and comprised of two groups, one in the first
trimester of the year and one in the second trimester of the year, which enrolled for the N2 Electrical
or Millwright courses. The respondents were predominant male and representing the three main cultural
groups in the Northern Cape namely: Black, Coloured and White. The four misconceptions on
DC resistive circuits that were identified were: (i) understanding of concepts, (ii) understanding of
short circuit, (iii) battery as a constant current source, and (iv) rule application error. Screencasts clarifying
the four misconceptions were developed and distributed to the respondents. On the foundation
of the results of this research, it can be concluded that the students have several misconceptions
around direct current resistive direct current circuits and that the use of TEL like screencasts can be
used to solve some of these misconceptions. Screencasts could supplement education when they
were incorporated into the tutoring and learning for supporting student understanding. The results of
this research could lead to the further development and refinement of screencasts on DC resistive
circuits and also useable guidelines in creating innovative screencasts on DC resistive circuits.

▼ New and proposed tax relief sections have been added
to the Income Tax Act no 58 of 1962 over the past few years and
this is an indication that the South African (SA) Government
acknowledges that there is considerable investment required, by
both SA taxpayers and the SA Government, to go “green” and to save
energy. The National Treasury proposed the introduction of section
12L to the Income Tax Act No 58 of 1962 (the Act) in the 2009
Taxation Laws Amendment Act. This will provide an incentive for
taxpayers to benefit from energy savings by incurring capital
expenditure with the purpose of reducing energy consumption. The
idea with the proposed section 12L is that the more energy one
saves, the less tax one pays. However, the proposed introduction of
section 12L has led to uncertainty as to the process to be followed
by a taxpayer, in order to qualify for the allowance. There will be
a discussion on whether this notional allowance will be in addition
to the allowances and deductions based on actual expenditure
incurred in the investment of new green technologies. The objective
during the current study is to examine how government should
formulate SA legislation in terms of section 12L of the Act to
stimulate investment in the conversion of old technologies to new
“green” technology. The challenges of improved energy savings will
be addressed in the SA context, and compared to similar legislation
in China and the United Kingdom (UK). This comparison will identify
the gaps, alternatives and possible improvements to the proposed SA
section 12L. AFRIKAANS : Nuwe en voorgestelde wetsartikels vir die
vermindering van belasting is gedurende die laaste paar jaar
ingedien. Dit is ’n aanduiding dat die Suid-Afrikaanse (SA)
Regering erken dat aansienlike belegging benodig word om “groen” te
raak en om krag te bespaar. Die Nasionale Tesourie het die
indiening van artikel 12L in die Inkomste belasting Wet Nr. 58 van
1962 (Die Wet) in die 2009 Belasting Wysigingswet voorgestel. Dit
sal as aansporing dien vir belastingbetalers om voordeel te trek
uit energiebesparing deur om kapitaaluitgawes wat lei tot die
vermindering van kragverbruik aan te gaan. Die idée agter die
voorgestelde artikel 12L is dat hoe meer energie ’n mens spaar, hoe
minder belasting jy hoef te betaal. Die voorgestelde indiening van
wetsartikel 12L lei egter tot onsekerheid oor die proses wat die
belatingbetaler moet volg om vir die toelaag te kwalifiseer. Die
bespreking sal insluit of hierdie voorgestelde toelaag bykomend sal
wees tot die toelae en aftrekkings wat gegrond is op werklike
uitgawes wat aangegaan is tydens belegging in die nuwe groen
tegnologie. Die doelwit met hierdie studie is om ondersoek in te
stel in hoe die regering die SA wetgewing in terme van artikel 12L
van die belastingwet moet formuleer om sodoende belegging in die
omskakeling van die ou
tegnologie na die nuwe “groen”
tegnologie te
stimuleer. Die uitdaging van energie besparing sal in die SA
konteks aangespreek word en vergelyk word met soortgelyke wetgewing
in die Verenigde Koningkryk…

▼ Die navorsing is onderneem om die invloed van koöperatiewe leer as „n onderrigstrategie op Graad 8 wiskundeleerders se houding teenoor probleemoplossing en hul prestasie in wiskunde te bepaal. Die doelstellings van die empiriese ondersoek was:
- om die houding van Graad 8 leerders teenoor wiskunde en teenoor probleemoplossing in wiskunde te ondersoek;
- om die invloed van koöperatiewe leer as onderrigstrategie op die houding van graad 8 wiskunde-leerders teenoor wiskunde en teenoor probleemoplossing in wiskunde te ondersoek; en
- om die invloed van koöperatiewe leer as onderrigstrategie op die prestasie van Graad 8 leerders in wiskunde te ondersoek.
Deur middel van „n literatuurstudie as onderrig-leerraamwerk, is die aard van skoolwiskunde; benaderings ten opsigte van die leer van skoolwiskunde, naamlik die behavioristiese-, die kognitiewe- en die konstruktiwistiese leerbenaderings; die rol van probleemoplossing in die onderrig en leer van skoolwiskunde; asook die houding van leerders teenoor wiskunde en teenoor probleemoplossing in wiskunde, bespreek. Na aanleiding van die gebruik van direkte- en indirekte onderrigstrategieë, is die volgende elemente van koöperatiewe leer (indirekte onderrigstrategie) beklemtoon: individuele verantwoordelikheid, interpersoonlike sosiale vaardighede, positiewe persoonlike interaksie, groepvordering en positiewe interafhanklikheid. Koöperatiewe leermetodes en die implementering van koöperatiewe leer in die wiskundeklaskamer is vervolgens bespreek, asook leerders se houding teenoor koöperatiewe leer.
Vir die empiriese ondersoek is „n opeenvolgende verklarende gekombineerde navorsingsmetode-ontwerp gebruik, wat bestaan het uit die insameling en ontleding van kwantitatiewe- en kwalitatiewe data in opeenvolgende fases. „n Voor-eksperimentele evaluering (voortoets) is gedoen om die eksperimentele en kontrolegroepe te vergelyk ten opsigte van hul houding teenoor wiskunde en teenoor probleemoplossing in wiskunde deur die gebruik van „n aangepaste houdingsvraelys (ATMI), asook ten opsigte van leerders se wiskundeprestasie. Die intervensie (koöperatiewe leer as onderrigstrategie) is vervolgens vir „n tydperk van sestien weke op die eksperimentele groep toegepas. Die aangepaste
houdingsvraelys (ATMI) is ook tydens „n na-eksperimentele evaluering (natoets) vir beide (kontrole- en eksperimentele) groepe gebruik, asook vir die vergelyking van genoemde groepe se wiskundeprestasie. Die kwalitatiewe ondersoek is uitgevoer deur individuele gestruktureerde taakgebaseerde onderhoude met geselekteerde deelnemers van die eksperimentele groep te voer. Inligting oor leerders se houding en ervaring ten opsigte van probleemoplossing in wiskunde, hul houding teenoor koöperatiewe leer, asook hul probleemoplossingsvaardighede, is met behulp van die onderhoude bekom.
Uit die resultate van die empiriese navorsing is bevind dat koöperatiewe leer as onderrigstrategie geen beduidende invloed op Graad 8 leerders se houding teenoor wiskunde en teenoor probleemoplossing in wiskunde gehad het nie. Die gebruik van…

▼ This study is aimed at indicating the development
of technical education at secondary level from 1925
to 1974. Attention is paid to the development of
technical education as it is presented at full-time
day-schools.
For the purpose of this research, technical education is defined as: a preparatory study towards
an apprenticeship or a further study in technology,
while the value of general-formative education is
continually stressed.
Chapter 2 deals with the control and judicial foundations of technical education. This aspect is
treated in three sub-sections namely:
* technical education under provincial control
before 1925:
* technical education under control of the
Union Department of Education and the Department of Education, Arts and Science (1925-1967) and
* technical education, once more the responsibility of the provincial departments of education (1968-1974).
Chapter 3 shows the composition of the curricula
for technical schools during 1925-1974 and how it
was adapted periodically to continually changing
industrial circumstances. In an effort to provide
educated technically trained manpower, pupils are
educated in the more general scientific principles
which are fundamental to each trade.
The emphasis, however. did not only fall on the
technological training. Since 1925 generally-formative education had already been offered at technical schools.
Chapter 4 deals with the entrance requirements for,
as well as the number of pupils in technical high
schools. This chapter also tries to explain the
manner in which pupils are affected by stipulations
concerning compulsory education.
chapter 5 deals with the financial implications
concerning technical education. The financial burden has been the major factor which impeded the
realistic development of technical education. It
was also one of the most important factors which
determined the place of technical schools in the
South African school system.
Attention is paid in Chapter 6 to the training of
teachers for the technical schools and the training
of personnel for the workshops at technical schools
is stressed, as this kind of education is peculiar
to the technical schools.
Chapter 7 gives a short summary of the entire study.

▼ Door de veranderende maatschappij en de daarbij behorende (technologische) vernieuwingen is het noodzakelijk dat docenten zich blijven professionaliseren (Diepstraten & Evers, 2012). Hoge werkdruk, te weinig zeggenschap over de invulling van het beroep en beperkte handelingsruimte staat hun professionalisering in de weg (Onderwijsraad, 2016). Omdat de verantwoordelijkheid voor de loopbaan steeds meer naar werknemers is verschoven (Hall & Moss, 1998) wordt van de docenten ook meer initiatief verwacht. Er zijn meerdere mogelijkheden om dit eigen initiatief van docenten succesvol vorm te geven. In deze thesis komen drie mogelijkheden aan de orde: Job Crafting (JC): een vorm van horizontale loopbaanontwikkeling, waarbij docenten de baan op eigen initiatief vormen naar eigen interesses of mogelijkheden (Tims, Bakker, & Derks, 2013). Organisational Career-Management (OCM): dit verwijst naar activiteiten van organisaties om de initiatieven van werknemers ruimte te bieden (De Vos, Dewettinck, & Buyens, 2009). De Leer- en Prestatie-doeloriëntatie die de relatie tussen een OCM activiteiten en JC medieert (Yperen, Blaga, & Postmes, 2014). Het onderzoekdoel is om inzicht te verwerven in hoeverre OCM activiteiten en de Doeloriëntatie van docenten van invloed zijn op JC. Doeloriëntatie wordt daarbij opgevat als een interveniërende variabele tussen OCM activiteiten en JC. Surveydata werden verkregen van 301 docenten uit 19 voortgezet onderwijsscholen. De data is geanalyseerd met SPSS 24. Ten eerste laten de resultaten van dit onderzoek zien dat OCM activiteiten directe invloed uitoefenen op twee van de vier subschalen van Job Crafting van docenten. Dit zijn de subschalen Uitdagende taken en Feedback, sociale steun en coaching. OCM activiteiten hebben geen invloed op Autonomie en Belemmerende taken. Ten tweede kan er uit de regressieanalyse worden opgemaakt dat OCM activiteiten geen invloed uitoefenen op de Doeloriëntatie van docenten. Beide variabelen verklaren een ander deel van Job Crafting. De docenten geven in de gehouden informele gesprekken ook aan dat OCM activiteiten invloed hebben op JC en de Doeloriëntatie. En ten derde oefent de Doeloriëntatie van docenten directe invloed uit op drie van de vier subschalen van Job Crafting. Dit zijn de subschalen Autonomie, Uitdagende taken en Feedback, sociale steun en coaching. Er wordt door Doeloriëntatie geen invloed uitgeoefend op Belemmerende taken. Doeloriëntatie moet, naast OCM activiteiten, beschouwd worden als een belangrijke factor die de succesvolle implementatie van vernieuwingen in het onderwijs kan bevorderen. Tot slot blijkt de in veel literatuur genoemde, interveniërende rol van Doeloriëntatie tussen OCM activiteiten en JC niet te kunnen worden aangetoond.

▼ Ooreenkomstig een van die beginsels wat in die onderwys
in die vooruitsig gestel word, naamlik dat onderwysers lewenslange
leerders is, behoort onderwysers hulself voordurend professioneel
te ontwikkel, sodat die onderwys kan getuig van kwaliteit onderrig
en
leer. Die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwysstelsel moet aan die
diversiteit van behoeftes van leerders voldoen en vra dus ‘n
kreatiewe oplossing vir onderrig en
leer.
Hierdie studie handel
oor die rol van die departementshoof as begeleier van grondslagfase
onderwysers. Navorsing verwys na ’coaching’ en kan dus direk
vertaal word met 'afrigting.' Vir die doeleindes van hierdie studie
hou ’coaching’ egter meer verband met begeleiding en sal dié term
as vertaling dien. Navorsing in die veld van begeleiding in die
onderwyssektor in Suid-Afrika blyk egter onbekend te wees. Daar
blyk 'n behoefte aan bewysgebaseerde navorsing oor alternatiewe
strategieë soos begeleiding te wees.
Die doel van hierdie studie
is om te bepaal in hoe 'n mate departementshoofde van die
grondslagfase binne die wetgewing en die regsraamwerk die
onderwysers kan begelei binne die beperkte tyd tot hul beskikking.
Die leerteoretiese beginsels van die andragogie, wat ook elemente
van die kognitiewe leerteorie bevat, is vir die doeleindes van die
studie as vertrekpunt gebruik. 'n Kwalitatiewe interpretivistiese
benadering is gevolg ten einde die departementshoofde en
bereidwillige onderwysers van vyf privaatskole se ervarings van
begeleiding te kon bepaal. Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is met
die deelnemers gevoer. Die studie het bevind dat die
departementshoofde sowel as onderwysers deurlopende begeleiding
nodig ag. Die deelnemende skole pas begeleiding meestal informeel
toe, sonder ‘n begeleidingsmodel. Die departementshoofde se bestuur
en onderrigleierskap is ondersoek en die studie het bevind dat
onderwysers ‘n groot behoefte aan monitering en kontrole van hul
departementshoofde verwag. Ewekniebegeleiding word weinig toegepas
en is nog ‘n onbekende strategie vir die departementshoofde.
Begeleiding as deurlopende strategie vir professionele ontwikkeling
word verkies bo eendagwerkwinkels, aangesien begeleiding in die
skool se spesifieke behoeftes kan voorsien. Die departementshoof as
onderrigleier leef die visie van die skool voor, hoofsaaklik deur
gedeelde waardes. Die meeste departementshoofde maak gebruik van
refleksietegnieke vir begeleiding, maar verlang meer opleiding
hierin. In hierdie studie is bevind dat die grootste voordeel van
begeleiding daarin lê dat dit probleemoplossende denke stimuleer en
nuwe onderrigmetodes aanleer. Begeleiding het bepaalde uitdagings
en ewekniebegeleiding word veral deur sommige onderwysers as
intimiderend en evaluerend beskou. Die studie het ook bevind dat
departementshoofde beperkte tyd vir begeleiding het. Die studie
maak laastens die nodige aanbevelings vir begeleiding na aanleiding
van die literatuur en bevindinge van die studie.

▼ The main focus of this study is to determine if systems development methodologies are being utilised in the development of electronic learning systems in South Africa and if these methodologies are being applied effectively. Essentially this study can be viewed as exploratory research, utilising a conceptual research model to investigate the relationships between the constructs and measurements.
Electronic learning, or e-learning, is being employed to educate millions of learners, students and employees around the world and it is a critical component of modern educational systems. E-learning systems, or learning management systems, as it is known in the field, sit at the heart of these educational systems and are used to systematically deliver on-line content and facilitate the learning experience around that content. There is still much confusion and misconceptions surrounding e-learning and learning management systems abound. This study will try and clarify some of these misconceptions. In e-learning systems, the effective use of information systems is especially relevant as it is used to educate the minds of the future. To ensure that e-learning systems of outstanding quality are being developed, it is therefore crucial that systems development methodologies are being used as they can have a significant impact on the development process. There is a dearth of empirical research available on the use and effectiveness of systems development methodologies in South Africa. This study aims, amongst other things to make a contribution to the availability of empirical results.
By empirically evaluating the conceptual research model, utilising a survey as the main research method and statistically analysing the dataset, meaningful results were obtained. This study gave some insights into how learning management system procurement and development is being done in South Africa and revealed that the use of open-source systems currently exceeds the use of proprietary systems. The results of the research showed that systems development methodologies (e.g. Object-Oriented Analysis and Rapid Application Development) are being used effectively in the development of e-learning systems. Strong relationships exist between many of the systems development methodology factors identified (e.g. performance expectancy and the perceived support of the methodology) and the quality and productivity of the development process. This in turn has a strong influence on the impact systems development methodologies have on the quality of learning management systems.

▼ Because the development of resources in any language is an expensive process, many languages, including the indigenous languages of South Africa, can be classified as being resource scarce, or lacking in tagging resources. This study investigates and applies techniques and methodologies for optimising the use of available resources and improving the accuracy of a tagger using Afrikaans as resource-scarce language and aims to i) determine whether combination techniques can be effectively applied to improve the accuracy of a tagger for Afrikaans, and ii) determine whether structural semi-supervised learning can be effectively applied to improve the accuracy of a supervised learning tagger for Afrikaans. In order to realise the first aim, existing methodologies for combining classification algorithms are investigated. Four taggers, trained using MBT, SVMlight, MXPOST and TnT respectively, are then combined into a combination tagger using weighted voting. Weights are calculated by means of total precision, tag precision and a combination of precision and recall. Although the combination of taggers does not consistently lead to an error rate reduction with regard to the baseline, it manages to achieve an error rate reduction of up to 18.48% in some cases. In order to realise the second aim, existing semi-supervised learning algorithms, with specific focus on structural semi-supervised learning, are investigated. Structural semi-supervised learning is implemented by means of the SVD-ASO-algorithm, which attempts to extract the shared structure of untagged data using auxiliary problems before training a tagger. The use of untagged data during the training of a tagger leads to an error rate reduction with regard to the baseline of 1.67%. Even though the error rate reduction does not prove to be statistically significant in all cases, the results show that it is possible to improve the accuracy in some cases.

▼ Although the need for and importance of self-directed learning are well documented, studies reporting on the influence of teaching–learning strategies, fostering self-directed learning skills, are limited.
The aim of this investigation was to determine and understand the impact of the implementation of cooperative base groups on the self-directed learning readiness of first-year Life Sciences students.
In order to achieve the research aim, a mixed method approach was followed. During the quantitative phase, the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, a cooperative base group perception questionnaire, a checklist for social skills, and the academic achievement of first-year Life Sciences students at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University were analysed.
In the qualitative phase of the investigation, semi-structured interviews were conducted with randomly selected first-year Life Sciences students of the experimental group. The questions in the interviews were aimed at determining the students‟ perception of cooperative base groups, how this perception contributed to their self-directed learning competencies, as well as the role that active involvement, the cooperative base group folder and personal support play in the development of self-directed learning competencies.
The results of the investigation contribute to the body of knowledge on cooperative learning as it provides insight into how students experience cooperative base groups. The implementation of cooperative base groups contributes to the development of the following characteristics and skills, which are vital for becoming self-directed in one‟s learning: viewing peers as resources; being able to give and receive help; developing good social skills; being motivated to learn; and taking initiative and responsibility for learning.

▼ La investigación tiene como propósito evaluar estrategias metodológicas utilizadas antes de
leer, tales como: la elaboración de preguntas previas y formulación de hipótesis, que favorecen la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de cuarto año básico del Liceo Municipal Gabriela Mistral de la comuna de Melipilla.
Consiste en una investigación cualitativa, basada en el enfoque de investigación acción que busca comprender la realidad dentro de un contexto ante un determinado fenómeno, de carácter descriptivo, donde se analizarán los diversos aspectos o componentes. Para ello se recogerá información a partir de la observación a participantes, cuya muestra es por conveniencia y variación máxima. Dicha muestra se dividirá en tres niveles: adecuado, elemental e insuficiente, según estándares de aprendizaje SIMCE, seleccionando a un estudiante por cada nivel. Dicha muestra no pretende ser estadísticamente representativa, sino que tiene como finalidad analizar los efectos o consecuencias del uso de estrategias antes de la lectura.
Con esto se pretende apoyar el quehacer educativo de los docentes de Lenguaje y Comunicación, para que sean poseedores de un amplio conocimiento de las estrategias metodológicas abordadas antes de
leer, y junto con ello desarrollar la habilidad de comprensión lectora en los estudiantes y así mejorar los resultados en la evaluación nacional estandarizada SIMCE.; The research aims to evaluate methodological strategies used before reading, such as developing and formulating hypotheses previous questions, that promote reading comprehension in the fourth year of primary school students of Liceo Municipal Gabriela Mistral, in Melipilla. It consists of a qualitative research, based on action research approach that seeks to understand the reality within a given context, where various aspects or components are analyzed. The information will be collected from the observation to participants, whose sample is for convenience and maximum variation. This sample was divided into three levels: adequate, basic and insufficient as learning standards SIMCE selecting a student for each level. This sample is not intended to be statistically representative, it is to analyze the effects or consequences of the use of reading strategies before. The objective is intended to support the educational work of teachers of Language and Communication, to be possessing extensive knowledge of the methodological strategies addressed before reading, and to develop the skill of reading comprehension in students and thus improve results in standardized national assessment SIMCE.

▼ The effectiveness with which people learn in modem
organizations is increasingly emphasized in today's information and
knowledge driven economy. The effectiveness of learning and the
increase of expertise in a rapidly and dramatically changing
economic, political and social environment is regarded as being
extremely important for the success and survival of organizations.
The way an individual views the process of learning influences the
learner's approach to a learning opportunity and the effectiveness
of the learning process concerned. An individual's awareness of
his/her own learning approach and opportunities for critical and
realistic reflection on his/her own behaviour is important for the
development of effective learning. Opportunities for critical and
realistic reflection on his/her own learning behaviour promotes a
learner's ability to handle new and complex situations. The need
for a reliable and valid measure for learning approaches as a means
to facilitate critical and realistic reflection by a learner must
be emphasized in this regard. Related to this is the need for a
systems model which promotes a holistic approach to the
interpretation of learning approaches and the facilitation of
effective learning within organizations. The primary aim of the
study was to develop a questionnaire with acceptable psychometric
properties which could be used to determine the learning approaches
of adults. The secondary aim of the study was to develop a systems
model which indicates the relationship between learning approaches,
macro- and micro-learning environment factors, personal factors and
learning outcomes for organizations. A literature analysis was
undertaken to develop a systems model (secondary aim) which could
serve as a theoretical framework for the development of a learning
approaches questionnaire. Different approaches as described in
existing literature were identified, delimited and defined. The
factors which influence individuals' learning approaches were
investigated. A systems model of learning was developed on the
basis of the literature study. This model is used to indicate the
relations between learning approaches, learning environment
factors, personal factors and learning outcomes. A clear and
identifiable input component, a process component and an outcomes
component which are interdependent and interact with one another,
were identified on the basis of the literature. The study concluded
that a systems model of learning provides a useful holistic
framework to assist the understanding, interpretation and
influencing of learning approaches and the factors which influence
learning approaches. The empirical part of the study focuses on the
development of a learning approaches questionnaire for adults. The
learning approaches questionnaire (LAQ) which was developed
consists of two sections, a learning approaches in terms of the
learning content section (LAQc) and a learning approaches in terms
of social orientation section (LAQs). The LAQc section consists of
a deep, surface and achievement learning…

▼ This study focuses on the telecommunication industry, specifically the mobile phone market at the base of the pyramid (BOP). A supply vs. demand stance is taken whereby demographic data offer insight into the demand while the location of telecommunication retail stores constitutes supply. The study furthermore makes extensive use of a GIS (geographical information system) which offers deeper insight into data and different applications thereof. Given the extensive nature of the data used in assessing the national market, a dashboard was developed as part of this research to ease data interpretation. The online map (GIS) and dashboard form an integral part of this report.
Literature supports the targeting of the BOP as a viable market given the high volume of people in this market segment. Unconventional methods are, however, required to sustainably cater to this market. The development of multiple channels to target potential consumers has resulted in a dilution of the market in the retail environment. The retail channel however remains important in any company’s strategy to target the BOP. Telecommunication companies can not only benefit from the BOP but also offer benefits to the BOP. The World Bank has reported figures that show a 0.8% increase in GDP for every 10% increase in mobile penetration.
Different sources identify the BOP by different income ranges. It became evident, however, that internationally the average applied to identify the BOP is households earning less than USD 3,000 (ZAR 31,440 at an exchange rate of R10.48 / USD) per annum. Although somewhat higher than the international average, the available data dictated that South Africa’s BOP be identified as households earning less than R38,200 per annum for the purposes of this research. Data indicate that 89% of households in South Africa have a mobile phone. By comparing the ownership of existing household goods this research found that of the 11% of households not owning a mobile phone, 6% would be willing to adopt a mobile phone.
A tiered approach is followed in assessing the telecommunication opportunity for mobile phones in the BOP. The first tier assesses the entire market (all households in South Africa) at a municipal level. By including the total market, the opportunity in the BOP is put into perspective. The result was that the total BOP market offers a potential market of R563 million per month through 13.7 simcards. At the other end of the economic pyramid, the ROP offers a market of R2416 million per month through 14.6 million simcards. Thus, even though the BOP offers 48% of the total volume in the market, the value is only 19% of the total market. From a coverage perspective, 42% of BOP households are not covered by a telecom retailer whilst only 27% of the ROP households are not covered. A market of R247 million (through 5.8 million simcards) has been estimated in the BOP opposed to a R379 million market (through 5.8 million simcards) in the ROP.
The second tier makes use of a case study to determine the viability of targeting the…

▼ For a drug to have a therapeutic effect, it has to reach its site of action in sufficient quantities. The Pheroid drug delivery system enhances the absorption of drugs in various pharmacological categories and is the focus of this study. A number of patents are registered in various countries to protect its application. Pheroid technology is trademarked, but may for ease of reading, be called Pheroid(s) only. The Pheroid itself is composed of an organic carbon backbone composed of unsaturated fatty acids with some side-chain interactions that result in self-emulsifying characteristics. The resulting vesicles and nano-sponges can entrap hydrophilic, hydrophobic or amphiphilic compounds for biomedical and agricultural application and can be manipulated as to loading ability, mechanical resistance, permeability, size and solubility. Pheroid was investigated for its potential use in the areas of vaccines, peptide drugs, topical products and cosmeceuticals, antimicrobial treatments and agriculture. In all of these areas, the Pheroid has indeed shown applicability: the results showed improved uptake and/or efficacy of the entrapped chemical or biological compounds after administration by a number of administration routes. For oral administration, a precursor format, the pro-Pheroid, was used, wherein the vesicles and/or sponges are formed post-administration. Proof of concept studies on the in vivo absorption and bioavailability, as well as studies on in vitro efficacy of Pheroid-based formulations were carried out for antimicrobials, such as tuberculosis drugs, antimalarials and antiretrovirals. In all cases, the in vitro efficacy of the active compounds was increased, compared to well-known standard drug treatments. In a phase I bio-equivalence study, a Pheroid-containing combination formulation was compared against the comparative market leader. The results demonstrated that the bioavailability of the active compounds in the Pheroid was at least as good but mostly significantly better than that of the comparative medication. In addition, the incidence of side-effects was decreased in the case of the Pheroid formulations. Furthermore, in vitro results indicate that drug resistance can at least partially be negated. Pheroid technology may also be capable of protecting labile drugs such as peptides against degradation and increasing efficacy so that lower dosages can be administered less frequently and with fewer side effects. Based on in vitro and in vivo results, a number of products are currently in development. The application of Pheroid technology is potentially limitless and includes such areas as TB, malaria, cancer, AIDS, gene delivery, vaccines, patented medicines and generics and agriculture.

▼ Malaria affects millions of people annually especially in third world countries. Increase in resistance and limited research being conducted adds to the global burden of malaria. Mefloquine, known for unwanted adverse reactions and neurotoxicity, is highly lipophilic and is still used as treatment and prophylaxis. Lipid drug delivery systems are commonly used to increase solubility and efficacy and decrease toxicity. The most generally used lipid drug delivery system is liposomes. The lipid bilayer structure varying in size from 25 nm to 100 μm can entrap both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds. Similar in structure and size to liposomes, Pheroid™ technology consist of natural fatty acids and is also able to entrap lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds. The aim of this study was to formulate liposomes and Pheroid™ vesicles loaded with mefloquine and evaluate the physiochemical characteristic of the formulations followed by efficacy and toxicity studies. Pheroid™ vesicles and liposomes with and without mefloquine were evaluated in size, morphology, pH and entrapment efficacy during three month accelerated stability testing. Optimization of size determination by flow cytometry lead to accurate determination of size for both Pheroid™ vesicles and liposomes. During the three months stability testing, Pheroid™ vesicles showed a small change in size from 3.07 ± 0.01 μm to approximately 3 μm for all three temperatures. Confocal laser scanning microscopic evaluation of the liposomes showed structures uniform in spherical shape and size. No difference in size or structure between the Pheroid™ vesicles with and without mefloquine were obtained. Significant increase (p=0.027) in size from 6.46 ± 0.01 μm to above 10 μm was observed for liposomes at all the temperatures. Clearly formed lipid bilayer structures were observed on micrographs. With the addition of mefloquine to the liposome formulation, a decrease in the amount of bilayer structures and an increase in oil droplets were found. Entrapment efficacy was determined by firstly separating the entrapped drug from the unentrapped drug utilizing a Sephadex®G50 mini column. This was followed by spectrophotometric evaluation by UV-spectrophotometry at 283 nm. Initial entrapment efficacy of both Pheroid™ vesicles and liposomes was above 60%. An increase in entrapment efficacy was observed for Pheroid™ vesicles. The addition of mefloquine to already formulated Pheroid™ vesicles illustrated entrapment efficacy of 60.14 ± 5.59% after 14 days. Formulations loaded with mefloquine resulted in lower pH values as well as a decrease in pH over time. Optimization of efficacy studies utilizing propidium iodide was necessary due to the similarity in size and shape of the drug delivery systems to erythrocytes. A gating strategy was successfully implemented for the determination of the percentage parasitemia. Efficacy testing of mefloquine loaded in Pheroid™ vesicles and liposomes showed a 186% and 207% decrease in parasitemia levels compared to the control of mefloquine. Toxicity studies…

▼ In terms of assessment practices, in all facets of education there is a strong focus on assessment at the end of learning. New trends in the literature motivate for the continuous use of assessment strategies in classrooms, with a learner-centred approach.
Many questions arise on this topic: When lecturers review their own higher education classroom assessment practices, what will be the extent of their discovery? Are they still inclined to do assessment after teaching and learning has taken place? Or are they moving towards continuous classroom assessment practices in line with the new trends? Is there still a place for classroom assessment at the end of teaching and learning? Should the one or the other be used or should there be a balance between the various strategies? With students perceiving assessment as being judgemental and oppressive and as the most political of all educational processes (Reynolds et al., 2000:268), how does the power struggle unfold in the classroom?
By means of participatory action research I encouraged lecturers to reflect critically on their own classroom assessment practices. The lecturers engaged in critical discourses regarding their teaching, learning and assessment strategies and subsequently engaged in transformative actions resulting from their critical reflections. The aim of the research was to determine whether an emancipatory praxis had been developed and whether their reflections had brought about change and improved their classroom assessments. I wished to understand how the changes they had experienced were infused with theories of empowerment, emancipation and liberation.
The nature of curriculum praxis of classroom assessment was investigated to determine the status of classroom assessment in a specific higher education context and to see how the balanced assessment system is reflected and how classroom assessment develops as an emancipatory praxis.

▼ Esta dissertação é resultante de uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo e etnometodológico, desenvolvida entre agosto de 2003 e junho de 2004, numa escola estadual, de ensino fundamental, situada em Natal RN (Brasil). O objetivo da pesquisa foi investigar a recepção da leitura de literatura por parte de uma professora que revelou não gostar de ler nem se considerar leitora de literatura. Procurou-se investigar a mediação que possibilitasse a essa professora tornar-se leitora, compreender quais são os aspectos que influem na relação entre o leitor em formação e a leitura de literatura, e verificar como esse processo repercute na prática docente da professora, sujeito da pesquisa. Os procedimentos da pesquisa foram aplicados com flexibilidade, objetivando atender ao processo de formação leitora da professora. Os principais instrumentos utilizados foram duas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com a professora e notas de campo, as quais adquiriram o formato de um diário de pesquisa. Na primeira etapa, foram realizadas trinta sessões de leitura, objetivando possibilitar o acercamento da professora a diferentes textos literários. Na segunda etapa da pesquisa, foram realizados três encontros de planejamento com a professora e cinco aulas de leitura com a sua turma. A análise focaliza a recepção da leitura literária por parte da professora, abordando diferentes aspectos: a história da professora a respeito da sua relação com a leitura; a identificação, o contrato ficcional e a relação texto-vida; as previsões e suas verificações; a mediação e os andaimes oferecidos para inserir a professora na cultura da leitura. Focaliza-se também a relação entre o papel de leitora e o papel de mediadora de leitores, exercidos pela professora. Os fundamentos teóricos baseiam-se, principalmente, em Coulon (1995a, 1995b), Vigotsky (1989, 1991, 2003), Graves e Graves (1995), Smith (1991), Jauss (2002), Iser (1996, 1999) e Amarilha (1996, 2001). Como resultados desse estudo, destacam-se o interesse da professora pelas histórias lidas, o seu engajamento mediante os processos de identificação com alguns personagens e o relacionamento estabelecido entre os textos e sua história de vida, processos esses que denotam avanços significativos na sua relação com a leitura de literatura. A mediação teve um papel central na consecução daqueles avanços. Vale ressalvar que a relação texto-vida foi estabelecida pela professora ainda com certa ingenuidade, o que a impediu de vivenciar o ficcional como uma atividade lúdica. Considera-se necessário um contato mais profícuo e regular da professora com textos de ficção, para que consiga se distanciar do cotidiano e adquirir autonomia e consciência transformadora que lhe permitirão ir e voltar da realidade para a ficção, enriquecendo-se, sem confundi-las. A consecução desse contato profícuo e regular com textos de ficção não depende apenas de uma atitude individual e pessoal da professora, mas sim do contexto institucional e social em que ela está inserida. Assim sendo, a segunda etapa do trabalho de campo demonstrou que a…

▼ Auditing, as a subset of the accounting discipline, is an inherently difficult subject to learn
and teach. There have been various challenges, problems and criticisms regarding
traditional auditing and accounting education. Auditing lecturers therefore have a
responsibility to investigate methods or aids that can assist lecturers in addressing these
challenges, problems and criticisms in order to educate future auditors who have the
knowledge, understanding and skills to function effectively in the workplace. The primary
objective of this study was therefore to evaluate whether the learning and lecturing
difficulties experienced may be addressed effectively through the use of an educational
auditing information technology-based game, which was developed during the course and
as a result of this study. The perceptions of third-year auditing students at North-West
University regarding the use of this game as an educational aid in auditing education were
tested through a questionnaire that was also developed as part of this study. The study
involved dividing the participants into an experimental and control group. The
experimental group played the educational computer game, while the control group
completed the case question from which the educational game was developed. The
students then completed the same questionnaire. The main findings of the study were that
the educational computer game was equal in educational value to the case method, while
factors such as joy, engagement and motivation were rated higher for the computer game
than for the case method.

▼ Various modern communication technologies are available to higher education institutions involved in distance education to explore and implement for the effective provision of distance education programmes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of m- learning as part of distance education and to develop guidelines for the management of m- learning in an open distance learning model. The aims of this study are thus to determine the role of m-learning in open distance education, identifying challenges to implement m- learning as part of an open distance learning model and finally to develop generic management guidelines to implement m-learning as part of open distance education.
Quantitative research was undertaken using a survey questionnaire to acquire data for this research. The study population included students enrolled for distance education programmes at the NWU and accredited facilitators/lecturers employed by the NWU at tuition centres throughout SA facilitating distance education programmes. A total of 350 questionnaires (100 facilitators/lecturers questionnaire and 250 questionnaires for students) was sent out to all tuition centres to collect data for this research. Two different questionnaires were developed to suit the needs of each group. A total of 80.5% of completed questionnaires was returned.
The literature study of this research included concept clarifications of distance education and m-learning. The need for effective management and organizational structures for the delivery of distance education programmes utilising m-learning were investigated to gain an understanding of the complexities associated with an open distance education modus. The information from the literature study and the empirical section of this research contributed to the development of generic guidelines to implement m-learning as part of an open distance education modus.
In addition, aspects having an influence on the effective delivery of distance education programmes, were part of the questionnaires sent to respondents. These aspects included accessibility to resources utilising mobile devices, flexibility of programme delivery, affordability of programmes, interactivity between all role players in distance education and aspects that could influence anywhere and anytime learning. Furthermore, the different modes of delivering distance education programmes were explained. Challenges and barriers possibly having an influence in the delivery of distance education programmes through m-learning were included in the questionnaires sent out to respondents. Advantages and disadvantages as well as the needs regarding the use of cell phones in the delivery of programmes were identified in order to understand the role of m-learning and identifying relevant management guidelines for the implementation of m-learning.
Evidently, a response from the questionnaires was that the quality of teaching and learning according to the perceptions of m-learning amongst both groups were of more importance to students than with…

▼ Metacognition in collaborative learning settings is an emerging topic in research on
metacognition. This study focused on the development of metacognitive skills during pair
programming in order to enhance knowledge productivity. Pair programming entails
collaboration between two programmers, each fulfilling a specific role during the execution of
the programming task, and has recently been used in educational contexts as a teaching and
learning strategy to improve learning in computer programming (DeClue, 2003:49; Preston,
2006b:16). In this study the outcomes of collaborative learning during pair programming are
referred to as knowledge productivity, which is measured against the criteria of enhanced
knowledge construction, enhanced problem-solving skills, conceptual changes in individual
perspectives, commitment to work with the other member of the pair, and application of the
results of the learning process (Tillema & Van der Westhuizen, 2006:51,55). To investigate the
influence of a metacognitive teaching and learning approach to pair programming on knowledge
productivity, a repeated-measures experiment with a control group was conducted among a
number of Grade 11 learners who had been implementing pair programming in the learning of
Information Technology at secondary school level. At the beginning of the study both groups
completed two questionnaires, one on metacognition and the other on knowledge productivity.
At the same stage, a number of randomly selected participants from each group were
interviewed on the same two topics, using a semi-structured interview approach. This
procedure was repeated three months later, without any intervention. During the intervention
phase, the experimental group implemented a set of self-directed metacognitive questions that they had to answer while doing a pair programming task. These self-directed metacognitive questions form part of a metacognitive teaching and learning strategy suggested by the researcher. The members of the experimental group also kept a journal to describe how the
self-directed questions directed their thinking during the execution of the pair programming task.
At the end of the experimental period, the mo questionnaires on metacognition and knowledge
productivity were completed by both groups again, supported by the interviews of the same
selected participants. The results derived from the empirical study showed that the knowledge
productivity of learners programming in pairs can be enhanced by implementing a metacognitive
teaching and learning strategy. The metacognitive teaching and learning strategy implemented during this study was then adapted to make it suitable for use by teachers and learners during pair programming.

▼ Students enrolled for the Network Systems III module at the Vaal University of
Technology are experiencing problems with passing this module. Many of them fail
due to the fact that they do not understand the subnet masking part of it. In an
attempt to increase the students' pass rate, this study will make additional study
material available to them, complying with their learning style preferences. This
material will be available as elearning
material on the Internet.
The usage and success of elearning
material implies a holistic approach towards
learning styles. Learning styles consist of different interrelated learning elements.
This study will make use of an action research approach comprising four phases.
In the first phase, different learning styles are diagnosed by means of a literature
study. The information obtained is applied to compile an interpretive questionnaire
for completion by students. This questionnaire will enable the researcher to do an
empirical study with regard to their learning preferences. The data obtained from
the questionnaires will be analysed and information obtained will be applied to
make additional module related elearning
material available on the Internet.
During the second phase, results obtained from the empirical investigation will be
used to develop elearning
material on subnetting, while also addressing the
identified learning styles of participants. The elearning
material is provided on the
Moodle learning management system, enabling students to use it according to their
own preferences.
In the third phase, the success of the intervention on the elearning
material is
investigated. In this phase, the activities of students using the elearning
material
are analysed and tests and examination results processed to determine whether
there is any correlation between time spent on elearning
material and these
results. The usage of elearning
material is tested by means of an interpretive
questionnaire to the students. The last part of the action research approach deals with the question of whether
the research was conducted successfully. A second iteration of the process proved
the results to be satisfactory.
The elearning
material was positively received by students participating in the
research, while a growing interest in this material was noticed from the last
semester in 2007 to the first semester in 2008.

▼ Recognition of prior learning, better known as RPL, was introduced to training institutions in South Africa after the fall of Apartheid. The objective of RPL was to redress inequalities brought about by Apartheid when disadvantaged groups had less access to training opportunities. RPL was introduced with a combination of associated training and education initiatives such as the National Qualification Framework and the South African Qualifications Authority, all directed for a similar purpose. The South African Nursing Council agreed with the principles of RPL and published a policy document aimed to guide nurse educators to enhance RPL implementation in South African nursing education institutions. Despite the support from accessible legislative and regulatory documentation, RPL is implemented insufficiently in nursing education institutions. The lack of RPL implementation was also identified by the researcher in the Limpopo College of Nursing. This College of Nursing can be described as a symbol of post-Apartheid re-integration whereby nursing colleges centralised into one administrative management office with campuses, satellite campuses and over 120 nurse educators.
The research question asked was what are nurse educators’ perceptions of the implementation of RPL in nursing colleges in Limpopo Province? The aim was to support nurse educators to enhance the implementation of RPL in nursing colleges in Limpopo Province. A qualitative, phenomenological, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was followed. Seven (n=7) individual, in-depth, unstructured interviews were conducted with nurse educators employed at the X Campus and Y Satellite Campus of the Limpopo College of Nursing. Transcribed interviews were analysed and resulted in three main themes and nine sub-themes. Firstly, the participants voiced their agreement that RPL should be implemented and identified specific benefits and challenges thereof. Secondly, there should be a RPL assessment package that should be open and transparent, be able to assess academic performance against college standards and should minimise inequalities. The third main theme was the need for enhanced awareness of RPL implementation in nursing colleges. Nurse educators lack knowledge about RPL and should therefore be more awareness thereof. In addition RPL should be promoted as a beneficial mechanism to the learning process.
These results were discussed with a literature integration and in the majority of results literature confirmed these findings. Conclusion statements were formulated from the research results and served as the basis for the formulation of recommendations to support nurse educators with the implementation of RPL in nursing colleges in Limpopo Province. The recommendations were directed to firstly the policy makers in nursing education; secondly to the nursing education institutions and thirdly to the nurse educators. Areas for further research were listed. Strategies to enhance trustworthiness and the adherence of ethical considerations were…
