Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the participation of black female TVET students, using a case of a TVET college in Southern KZN. It adopts a human development approach to understand the capabilities, freedoms, and functionings available to black female students at this specific TVET college. The study was prompted by high dropout rates among black female TVET students and a disproportionate gender profile in skills programs. Furthermore, it contends that empowering black female students with capabilities allows them to express what they value and have gained from TVET colleges, not only in their current lives but also in their future lives. This is crucial for addressing the prevailing gender disparities in the country. The study was conducted using a descriptive case study design, and the data was gathered through semistructured interviews with final-year black female engineering and primary agriculture students at ABC (pseudonym) TVET College. The data was analyzed thematically, with data collection concluding after reaching saturation with ten participants. Surprisingly, the findings indicate that, in this particular college, the participation of black female students is not necessarily low. Therefore, gender no longer serves as a barrier to the participation of black female TVET students in skills programs at the college. Instead, the students effectively juggle their educational responsibilities with domestic chores while exerting considerable effort to participate and excel in their studies. This showcases women's ability to exercise agency despite facing constraints in their opportunities. The study recommends addressing the persistent societal perception that domestic chores are solely the responsibility of women to enhance women’s participation in their educational pursuits.

Abstract

This paper is based on an argument that the disruption of school spaces can demerit the myth that Mathematics is difficult and a struggle for learners in some contexts. Combining spatial theories and the phenomenon of disruption, the paper reports from a qualitative research project that analyzed the dynamics of space and place in South African schools. From a sample of two secondary schools and three primary schools in Tshwane South, the paper reports on the data from one school where the theme of disruption of school spaces for the teaching of mathematics was drawn. Two Mathematics teachers and one Head of Department (HoD) were interviewed in the school and one classroom was observed. The findings indicate that the disruption of school spaces leads to collaboration across post levels in terms of teaching, management, and personal professional development. Such collaboration disrupts the representations of space and improves teachers’ spatial practices and a potential for better learning. The paper concludes by recommending research that will explore the applicability of the conclusions it makes to the enhancement of Mathematics learners’ results.

Abstract

Health adversity, whether due to chronic illness, disability, or severe medical conditions, often leads to emotional, social, and psychological challenges. While much research has focused on clinical care, growing attention is paid to peer support and friendship as crucial non-clinical resources. The experience of Sisi, a person living through health adversity, offers an illustrative case of how love and social connection can play a transformative role in coping and resilience, even if it is for a short while. This paper explores the importance of peer support and friendship in enhancing empowerment, maintaining personal identity, and encouraging meaning-making during health-related adversity. It seeks to contribute knowledge on how social relationships function as sources of emotional comfort and as mechanisms that enable individuals to reframe their experience and maintain a strong sense of self in times of illness. The narratives show that peer support and friendship are essential facilitators of psychological empowerment, assisting individuals in feeling more in control and competent even in the face of adversity. Relationships with peers protect identity by affirming personal narratives beyond the illness. Furthermore, they act as informal support systems that augment medical interventions, frequently improving quality of life and psychological resilience. Peer connection can assist individuals in viewing illness not merely as a medical experience but as a collective human experience characterized by connection and meaning. The insights underscore the necessity for more comprehensive, person-centered strategies in health care that acknowledge love, friendship, and social connection as vital elements of recovery and resilience.
