Abstract

Creativity is significant in education as it makes learners to fully concentrate throughout the learning and teaching process. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of smart board in enhancing Technology teachers' creativity in the classroom. The theory of creativity was used as a lens to view the study, and the 9E instructional model which was used to guide and understand classroom activities. The study used a qualitative research approach and the case study design to gather and analyze data. The semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from four schools which were purposively sampled because they had smart boards. Four Technology teachers and eight learners were the participants in the study. To analyze the data, deductive content analysis was used. The findings of the study revealed that both teachers and learners perceived the smart board as effective in enhancing Technology teachers' creativity in the classroom. Teachers and learners indicated that smart board can present lessons more interesting, exciting, effective and develop learners' creative thinking skills. They could access the internet to search for online resources which include but are not limited to diagrams, pictures, online quizzes and YouTube videos to creatively present their lessons in the classroom. Different smart board programs such as the smart notebook, animation, PowerPoint presentations, and the show and hide feature can be used to enhance creativity. With the help of the smart board, teachers can use a variety of teaching methods to correct learners' misconceptions and further develop their creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Mechanical systems and control are part of the Technology subject strand, which involves gaining knowledge and skills in using various machinery and mechanisms such as gears, belts, chains, elevators, and escalators. Technology teachers need to be familiar with innovative teaching methods for instructing learners with special needs. This study aimed to explore creative teaching strategies for teaching Mechanical Systems and Control to grade 9 learners with special needs in the Capricorn district of Limpopo. A qualitative exploratory case study design and homogenous purposive sampling were employed to select two Technology teachers from two special schools in the Capricorn district. The findings of this study revealed that technology teachers encountered significant challenges in identifying and implementing appropriate creative teaching strategies to deliver the content of Mechanical Systems and Control effectively to learners with special learning needs. The study also indicated that although Technology teachers utilized PowerPoint presentations, narrative discourses, textbooks, and artifacts during instruction, these strategies were not always effective for learners with special learning needs. Consequently, the study recommends that teachers receive comprehensive training on teaching learners with special learning needs, focusing on different pedagogies and methods such as the guided exploration method, technology integration, visualization, and the use of technological artifacts to enhance instruction in Mechanical Systems and Control. These learner-centered methods enable teachers to cater to learners' individual learning needs.
