Abstract

Teacher's expertise in design plays an important role in communicating drawing messages. This expertise is often influenced by their general knowledge and culture's identity and core principles, which is all part of Indigenous Knowledge. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers experiences in the use of Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) to teach freehand sketches in engineering graphics and design. This study used a qualitative research approach and phenomenological design to understand participants experiences. Indigenous knowledge framework was employed to capture all relevant information. Interviews and classroom observations were used to collect data and thematic analysis was used to analyse it. So, this study discovered that teachers used drawing designs inspired by South African cultural designs taken from Indigenous Ndebele decoration patterns, and Contextualised storytelling to foster Indigenous Knowledge when teaching freehand sketches in engineering graphics and design. As a recommendation, this study is still calling for a content knowledge structure that revolves around the application of IKS, rather than focusing just on a small number of topics where teachers must find creative ways to incorporate IKS.

Abstract

This study examined the General Education and Training (GET) syllabus of Electrical Technology to determine its effectiveness in preparing learners for progression into Further Education and Training (FET) specialisations in Gauteng technical schools. The problem this research addresses is the persistent misalignment between the foundational competencies developed in the GET phase and the advanced technical expectations of the FET phase, leaving learners underprepared for specialisation. The purpose of the study was to explore how the GET curriculum supports or fails to support smooth curriculum transition in Electrical Technology. A qualitative case study design was employed, using document analysis and semi-structured interviews with eleven experienced teachers in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The findings revealed that the GET curriculum is mostly theoretical, with limited practical scaffolding and weak sequencing of advanced topics such as Three-phase motors and Transformers. Teachers noted repeatedly re-teaching basic concepts at the FET level, which created time pressures and contributed to learner frustration. The study concludes that improving vertical curriculum alignment through stronger practical integration and clearer teacher support mechanisms can enhance learner readiness, curriculum coherence and the overall quality of Vocational Education (VOC) in South Africa.
