Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an abrupt shift to remote teaching, presenting unique challenges for rural Physical Science teachers due to their limited access to technological resources. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of six Physical Science teachers from rural South Africa during this transition. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal significant disruptions in teaching and learning processes, with a pronounced negative impact on student engagement and learning outcomes. The study highlights teachers’ adaptative measures, including using WhatsApp and other digital platforms to mitigate educational interruptions. Despite their efforts, the lack of infrastructure and digital tools severely restricted effective teaching. This research highlights the necessity of enhanced technological support and resources for rural educators to ensure resilient and adaptable educational practices in the face of future disruptions. The experiences detailed herein reflect broader implications for policy and practice, advocating for a strategic focus on closing the digital divide and supporting rural educators comprehensively.

Abstract

This research paper examined primary school learners’ knowledge and awareness of wild animals and their habitats before visiting the zoological garden. The study poses two research questions: 1) To what extent do primary school learners demonstrate knowledge and comprehension of wild animals prior to visiting the zoological garden? 2) What is the level of learners' awareness about wild animals’ habitats before visiting the zoological garden? Using a phenomenological approach, the study explored the learners' knowledge and awareness of wild animals. Data was collected through qualitative methods, including drawings, from a sample of six learners aged 10-12 years old. The findings indicate that learners have limited knowledge and comprehension of wild animals and their habitats before visiting the zoological garden. The results also highlight the significance of teachers incorporating information about wild animals’ behaviour and adaptation to their environment when teaching science. The study recommends that zoological gardens offer learners valuable educational opportunities to improve their understanding of these animals.
