The Development of Prospective Teachers’ Entrepreneurial Competencies Based on Importance Performance Analysis (IPA)
No full textThis study aims to analyze prospective teachers’ map of competency development; the effectiveness of the substance of education in various fields of study that supports the strengthening of prospective teachers’ entrepreneurial competencies and skills (startup businesses) after graduation; and the suitability of students’ entrepreneurial competency development quadrant. Methodologically, this study used survey method. It involved 1.298 third and upper semester students of University of Mataram’s Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), who were determined using accidental proportional sampling. The dimensions and the instruments of this research were adapted from the instruments developed by Bikse and Reimera, which include: ability to learn and act independently, set goals and act in a creative way, ability to analyze and plan further action, to take the initiative and responsibility, cooperate and work in a team, assess and classify the information, and find the problem and plan the solution. All data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results of the study indicate that efforts to strengthen entrepreneurial competencies, especially in selecting, summarizing, and presenting informations, have been made. However, the skills required to take initiative and direct personal responsibility are still not sufficiently developed. The findings of this study also show that prospective teachers are not completely well-prepared for the challenges in the labor market. Prospective teachers acquired moderate or even low-level theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This is confirmed by the results of Importance Performance Analysis which demonstrate that the entrepreneurial competency development is yet to be optimal. Almost all aspects of entrepreneurial competency development fall within quadrant I
Factors Influencing Construction Technology Teachers' Ability to Conduct Simulations Effectively
No full textThe efficacy of teaching hands-on skills practical activities requires teachers' willingness to implement technology enhanced pedagogy through the creation of relevant subject simulations. Teachers should be competent with workplace basics in order to prepare and demonstrate construction practical lessons that promote undeniably marketable skills that students can use to contribute to this competitive economy. The goal of this research was to look into the factors that influence Construction Technology teachers' effective teaching when conducting simulations. Purposive sampling was used to identify a total of five (5) teachers to participate in this study. Non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews were also used as a complementary data collection tool. The conceptual framework that guided this study workplace basics. According to the findings of this study, most Construction Technology teachers lack basic workplace skills as well as the ability to maintain effective teaching when conducting simulations. This is due to poorly made artifacts and a failure to use all available tools and equipment. Furthermore, the study discovered that teachers do not always plan for their theory lessons, and the challenge is even more difficult for practical lessons. The study suggests that Construction Technology teachers attend practical skill development training for Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) 2 while also visiting industries, universities, and colleges to gain exposure to the trade environment in order to stay current with technological developments. Most importantly, teachers should engage in ongoing professional development and learn the fundamentals of the workplace basics skills
Organisational Learning and Knowledge Sharing Culture in Township Schools: An Exploration of Effective and Ineffective Practices
No full textLiterature underscores that the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) promises to bring with it a host of technical and socially oriented innovations and changes that will pressure educational institutions to incorporate the concept of knowledge management (KM) in their educational, human resource, curricular and co-curricular administrative functions. In light of the many challenges confronting township schools such as the lack of proper infrastructure, the lack of learning and technological equipment and insufficient budget, the primary objective of this qualitative study (involving a sample of 20 participants), was to draw parallels between the effective and ineffective knowledge sharing practices in three township schools in the city of Emalahleni in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. The study found that of the three schools under study, only one school practiced effective knowledge sharing, while the other two schools were found to be ineffective in their practise of knowledge sharing. Thematic analysis indicated that, in both schools, ineffective knowledge sharing was precipitated by a counter collaborative culture, top down communication and decision making, absence of Ubuntu (i.e., humanity, tolerance and mutual respect) among staff, the principals’ inaccessibility to non-managerial staff, and chronic teacher absenteeism. Based on these findings, the study proposes that best practices from the school that was found to have practiced effective knowledge sharing be emulated throughout the landscape of township schools in South Africa
The Evolution of Agricultural Programs Towards Learning: A Look into Gender Disproportions in TVET Colleges
No full textThe current training needs in agricultural program learning should contribute to the evolution of training in South African Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. It is ironic that while other countries have advanced into a new era of educational innovation, the South African TVET colleges lag behind in technological development. The survey research approach allows for data measurements and statistical analysis. The study sought to determine whether the agricultural training in TVET colleges is evolving and progressing to integrate technology into the learning process. The three TVET college campuses with 482 participants were purposefully and conveniently sampled due to their experience in agricultural programmes. The findings were presented using the AVOVA analysis that is based on theory of technology integration. According to the study's findings, TVET colleges have evolved in how they train students in agricultural programmes. The study revealed that agriculture lecturers could use technological tools frequently when training the students. However, the results revealed that lack of learning resources affects the use of technology during agriculture training. The evolution would have been better if there had been an inclusion of phases such as technology integration exploration, experimentation with technology integration, technology integration adoption, and advanced technology integration. The study suggests that the gender factor should be considered as a barrier during the technological integration phases to accommodate all the students
