Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate the contextual factors that impede the integration of technology in Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) teaching in selected schools of the Limpopo province. The interpretive paradigm was used to understand the data from the participants of this case study. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge was used as an underpinning theoretical framework for the study. The population of interest included five technical schools of the same quintile where two teachers from each school were purposefully selected. A purposive sample was used to select 10 teachers to take part in the study. The classroom observations showed that not all teachers have digital tools in their classrooms and that some learners have more advanced EGD software than the ones that the teachers have. Teachers also mentioned that they only use WhatsApp as a communication application to provide notifications to learners. The recommendations are that the Department of Education should assist schools in procuring relevant and advanced digital tools and utilizing technology for EGD subjects. To address this, the Department of Education should invest money and provide workshops on technology integration, to train the teachers about gadgets, and how to use them. Regular monitoring of the digital tools will ensure their daily use in the EGD classes.

Abstract

Economic prosperity of any country is heavily reliant on the knowledgeable and skilled graduates produced by the TVET colleges. Eventually, these graduates are expected to be absorbed by the industry and corporate business. There must be adequate support structures for training students in skills by lecturers as TVET colleges are preparatory grounds for skills. Several challenges encountered by engineering lecturers leading to a high failure rate and hampering the aspirations of the country have been observed. To close that gap, this study investigated those factors that contribute to challenges encountered by engineering lecturers as they teach vocational subjects in the Report 191 programmes of TVET colleges. The study only focused on lecturers teaching Report 191 engineering subjects because of the low output in their specific learning areas. Scaffolding Theory guided the study with links towards training of lecturers for institutional development and improved outcomes. Data collection process was in two folds and was collected through observations (n=12) and semi-structured interviews (n=24) from identified lecturers in three different TVET colleges. Preliminary findings suggested that current Report 191 engineering lecturers experience teaching  challenges in delivering vocational subjects which is a determinant to the overall students’ pass rate and progression. Evidence of lack of planning and disorderliness; incorrect teaching and learning techniques and inadequate understanding

Abstract

This study examines the role of the andragogical approach, social support, and community participation in accelerating stunting reduction in Sibuak Village, Tapung District, Kampar Regency. The objectives of the study are to assess the levels of these three factors and to analyze their influence on stunting reduction efforts. Specifically, the study aims to (1) evaluate the extent of the andragogical approach applied in stunting reduction, (2) measure the level of social support provided, (3) assess the level of community participation, and (4) determine the effects of social support and community participation on the andragogical approach in the context of stunting reduction. To do so, this study employs a quantitative design with a sample of 126 fertile couples from a population of 183 in the village. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine central tendencies and inferential statistics to explore relationships between the variables. The results show a significant positive influence of social support on the andragogical approach, accounting for 75.1% of the variance. Community participation also had a significant positive influence, explaining 73.7% of the variance. Additionally, combined social support and community participation had a significant impact on the andragogical approach, with a total effect of 75.3%. The findings suggest that enhancing social support and encouraging community participation are crucial for strengthening the andragogical approach in reducing stunting. These insights can inform policymakers and health practitioners in designing more effective stunting reduction programs.

Abstract

Secondary schools in South Africa, encounter numerous safety dilemmas, including incidents of harassment and the widespread influence of gang-related conduct. In South Africa, gang-related abuse constitutes a significant societal challenge, affecting over 15% of the population, particularly impacting the youth demographic. Despite acknowledgment of these challenges, gaps exist between the recognition of such safety issues and the execution and efficacy of safety management measures in these settings. This study was conducted to investigate the obstacles and interventions pertaining to the management of safety within the  framework of a secondary school in South Africa.  The investigation utilized a qualitative methodology within a case study framework, using a sample of 30 participants. These consisted of teachers, the school principal, learners and members of the School Governing Body (SGB). Data was collected through focus group interviews and analysed primarily using thematic analysis. The study found out that factors that were inhibiting school safety were lack of resources, in-effective school safety personnel, lack of adherence to safety protocols and obsolete safety policies and culture.  It is recommended that that the formation of a safety policy committee is indispensable for enhancing the school's capacity to document and manage safety incidents.
