Abstract

False sexual allegations against teachers have contributed to teachers leaving the profession early and a decline in males choosing the profession. The main focus of this study was to investigate learners' false allegations of sexual misconduct against teachers.  This study was underpinned by Fabricated Rape Theory and adopted qualitative methodology data through semi-structured interviews. Four teachers, one deputy principal, and one principal making six participants in the South district of the Gauteng province of South Africa were selected using convenient selection methods.  The collected data were analysed using the Thematic Analysis method, which enables the researcher to respond to the study's objectives one after the other. The study revealed that fear, emotional neglect, and revenge contribute to false sexual allegations against teachers and that the maintenance of professional conduct among teachers and policy change are the possible solutions. Therefore, the study recommends that students should be provided with adequate orientation and re-orientation about the implication of false allegations, that teachers should always maintain good conduct, and that there should be an improvement in school policies and code of conduct to include punishable consequences for false accusations.

Abstract

Abstract: Student performance and achievement have always been at the centre of school reform efforts around the world. This led to Instructional Leadership being regarded as being key for improving teaching and learning processes. Although there is an inextricable connection between instruction and learning, it does not directly address subject-specific Instructional Leadership. Hence, this study investigated teachers' perspectives on Instructional Leadership for the subject of Life Sciences. By applying a qualitative case study approach, we interviewed high school principals, departmental heads, and teachers in two South African schools from the Gert Sibande District in the Mpumalanga Province. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the collected data. Findings revealed differences in the conception and understanding of Instructional Leadership among teachers, departmental heads, and principals regarding the Life Sciences. Teachers only understood Instructional Leadership based on their job-descriptions. We recommend that based on the findings of this study, it is important that the knowledge of teachers, departmental heads and principals be extensively upgraded on subject-specific Instructional Leadership. Keywords: Academic achievement, Instructional Leadership, Life Sciences, supervision, transition
