IMPLEMENTATION OF JEAN PEAGET’S THEORY OF CONTRUCTIVISM IN LEARNING: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Get PDFThe theory of constructivism, developed by Jean Piaget, emphasizes that knowledge is constructed through directexperience and social interaction. The implementation of constructivist principles in learning aims to create an environment that supports students' active exploration and deep understanding. This article examines various methods of applying Jean Piaget's theory in educational contexts, including problem-based learning, projects, hands-on experiments, and group discussions. The method used in this research is a literature review by reviewing several relevant literature studies related to constructivist learning. Where this learning was initially teacher-centered, constructivism has become student-centered to help them better understand abstract concepts. Although there are challenges in implementation such as teacher readiness and limited resources, the application of constructivism theory provides an opportunity to create a more meaningful and effective learning experience. The result of the literature review is that Jean Piaget's theory of constructivism in learning provides a strong framework for enhancing the learning experience, so by applying these principles, educators can create a more effective learning environment and holistically support students' cognitive development

However, the implementation, especially in schools, is still not optimal and requires ongoing training and mentoring
INVESTIGATING CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY INTERMEDIATE PHASE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS
Get PDFIn this empirical paper, the authors discuss the challenges experienced by the intermediate phase teachers in the implementation of formative assessments in mathematics teaching and learning. Numerous reports regarding South African learners' poor performance in mathematics necessitated the research. Challenges associated with the language of learning and teaching are the primary contributors of this issue. The paper is grounded in the social constructivist theory which places emphasis on the notion that learning occurs when learners are provided with opportunities to apply the cultural psychological mechanisms they utilize, that include mathematical concepts, language, and diagrams and then taught the way to apply those mechanisms as to gain an in-depth comprehension of (some) phenomenon. In this quantitative paper, the questionnaire was administered to 151 respondents to elicit information on assessment challenges. The study found that the implementation of formative assessments poses a challenge to most of the in-service teachers. Considering these findings, the study recommends that subject advisors and policy makers provide ongoing professional development for teachers regarding the implementation of formative assessments. Additionally, teachers should employ the social constructivist approach while assessing learners, particularly for projects and investigations as forms of formative assessments

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: PERSPECTIVES FROM PRINCIPALS
Get PDFCompliance to the law and policies that govern public schools in South Africa is fundamental in ensuring effective and efficient use of school funds. Compliance can mitigate the role confusion between the respective duties of the school principal as the manager of the school and the School Governing Body (SGB). This aim of the study was to identify the gap on compliance from the principals’ point of view. The qualitative design with phenomenological approach was used, and data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews with purposefully sampled principals. The literature and findings reveal that many SGB chairpersons are still profoundly reliant on principals regarding financial decisions and management at schools. This indicates the perpetuation of role confusion where school principals regard themselves as accountable for school funds. Even though financial management challenges in public schools have been researched before, the study found that such challenges still occur and hamper effective financial management by both the principals and SGBs
