The experiences of teachers on parental involvement in the primary schools of Lebowakgomo Circuit, Limpopo Province
No full textAbstracts in English, Northern Sotho and AfrikaansThe aim of this research was to explore the experiences of teachers on parental involvement in the primary schools of Lebowakgomo Circuit, Limpopo Province. The study sought to examine the role of parental involvement, the experiences of teachers on effective parental involvement, the challenges that teachers face when trying to improve parental involvement and the strategies to improve parental involvement. Literature research on related subject was followed to address the study aim. The theoretical frameworks that informed this study were Epstein’s theory overlapping sphere of influence on parental involvement. A qualitative research approach was adopted with a case study design. Twelve participants were purposefully sampled from the four selected schools. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interview and document analysis and data were analysed using thematic data analysis. The findings revealed that teachers understand the role that parents should play in the education of their children, the benefits of parental involvement and how lack of parental involvement affects the child, although there are still challenges that are faced when trying to improve parental involvement. Teachers experience the challenge of uneducated parents, lack of confidence, lack of time, attitude of teachers and teachers not being trained on parental involvement at university level. The study revealed that there are no written policies, programmes and workshops in place to improve parental involvement. The study recommends that it is the responsibility of the school to involve parents and thus school leaders should run programmes and hold workshops to educate parents on the role that they could play in their child’s education. The Department of Basic Education should encourage universities training teacher to include the concept of parental involvement in their curricula.Maikemisetso a nyakisiso ye e be e le go hlahloba maitemogelo a barutisi mabapi le go kgatha tema ga batswadi dikolong tsa tlase tsa Lebowakgomo Circuit, Profenseng ya Limpopo.

Die studie het gepoog om die rol van ouerbetrokkenheid, die ervarings van onderwysers oor effektiewe ouerbetrokkenheid, die uitdagings wat onderwysers in die gesig staar wanneer hulle ouerbetrokkenheid probeer verbeter en die strategieë om ouerbetrokkenheid te verbeter, te ondersoek. Literatuurnavorsing oor verwante onderwerp is gevolg om die studiedoelwit aan te spreek. Die teoretiese raamwerke wat hierdie studie ingelig het, was Epstein se teorie-oorvleuelende invloedsfeer op ouerbetrokkenheid. 'n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering is aangeneem met 'n gevallestudie-ontwerp. Twaalf deelnemers is doelgerig uit die vier geselekteerde skole gesteekproef. Data is ingesamel deur middel van semi-gestruktureerde in-diepte onderhoude en dokumentanalise en data is ontleed met behulp van tematiese data-analise. Die bevindinge het aan die lig gebring dat onderwysers die rol verstaan wat ouers in die opvoeding van hul kinders moet speel, die voordele van ouerbetrokkenheid en hoe gebrek aan ouerbetrokkenheid die kind raak, alhoewel daar steeds uitdagings is wat in die gesig gestaar word wanneer ouerbetrokkenheid probeer verbeter word. Onderwysers ervaar die uitdaging van onopgevoede ouers, gebrek aan selfvertroue, gebrek aan tyd, houding van onderwysers en onderwysers wat nie opgelei word oor ouerbetrokkenheid op universiteitsvlak nie. Die studie het aan die lig gebring dat daar geen geskrewe beleide, programme en werkswinkels in plek is om ouerbetrokkenheid te verbeter nie. Die studie beveel aan dat dit die verantwoordelikheid van die skool is om ouers te betrek en dus moet skoolleiers programme uitvoer en werkswinkels hou om ouers op te voed oor die rol wat hulle in hul kind se opvoeding kan speel. Die Departement van Basiese Onderwys moet universiteite aanmoedig om onderwysers op te lei om die konsep van ouerbetrokkenheid by hul kurrikulums in te sluit.M. Ed.

Construing political history: transitivity analyses of the process types in selected Ghanaian presidential independence anniversary speeches under the fourth republic
No full textThis study affirms the contention that language is a tool that politicians use to construe their experiences of the world. Hence, Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with focus on ideational meta function as a framework, is used to carry out transitivity analyses of the process types in four purposefully selected Ghanaian Presidential Independence Day Anniversary Speeches: the 2020 Independence Day Anniversary Speech delivered by Nana Akufo-Addo; the 2016 Independence Day Anniversary Speech delivered by John Dramani Mahama, the 2012 Independence Day Anniversary Speech delivered by John Evans Attah Mills and the 2007 Independence Day Anniversary Speech delivered by John Agyekum Kufuor.
Halliday (1994:23) asserts that language is “functional and systemic” and is used to make meaning. Therefore, the study concentrated on the processes and participants that were dominant and helped to bring out the meanings of the selected Presidential Independence Day Anniversary Speeches. Qualitative research design was used to study which transitivity patterns dominate the data and how they help contribute to the meanings of the speeches. The study discovered that the material process dominated the speeches, followed by the relational process, mental process and verbal process. This pattern suggests that all four of these Presidents used these process types to help them communicate to Ghanaians how the founding fathers struggled to gain independence for the country. The study also revealed that they cast the speeches more in the material, relational and mental processes, making the forefathers prominent in the struggles for Ghana’s independence. They described the events that happened and drew the minds of Ghanaians to the events that surrounded the country’s independence. Further, the study revealed that these presidents employed the universal or the inclusive
“we” as an actor, senser and sayer to spread the load of responsibility and to inform the audience that actions taken were not fully the responsibility of one individual but rather the outcome of collective work of members of the Government.
The study recommends that future research on Ghanaian Presidential Independence Day Anniversary Speeches should focus on the other two strands of Halliday’s meta functions (i.e., Interpersonal and Textual meta functions)D. Phil. (English Language)English Studie
Institutionalisation of the government-wide monitoring and evaluation system by the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency
No full textIncludes summaries in Zulu and XhosaPerformance monitoring and evaluation, as a development agenda, has been one of the core drivers and policy imperatives in South Africa, with an increasing acceptance of the need to improve governance, accountability, and continuous transformation in the public service. This affirmation has been realised through the policy pronouncement of the Government-wide Monitoring and Evaluation System in 2005, which was approved and adopted by the South African government for systematic collection and use of performance information to evaluate government performance through programmes.
The formation of the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, now called the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency, aimed to coordinate a systemic programme of policy performance monitoring and evaluation across government through the Government-wide Monitoring and Evaluation policy framework. Key enablers to this mandate have been the development trajectory set by the National Development Plan and the subsequent outcome-based approach, which provided for the alignment of the delivery agreements of ministers with the departmental strategic plans to improve coordination within and amongst departments. This has placed the department at the centre of government to institutionalise the Government-wide Monitoring and Evaluation System through its policy framework, to improve the quality of service delivery, measure results and foster accountability and evidence-based decision-making.
Using a systemic document analysis, this study aims to examine the role of the Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation in relation to the institutionalisation of the Government-wide Monitoring and Evaluation System. Further, it aims to examine the practice and sustainability of the system together with the related challenges. Findings confirm strides that have been made and the conducive environment with enhanced capacities, skills development and legislation that has been created for the system. This is with an acknowledgement of the complexities and the elaborate nature of the institutional arrangements and intergovernmental relations across government for monitoring and evaluation, which continue to constrain the delivery environment. As the coalface of services, the local government continues to lag and requires attention. Thus, the recommendations of this study are based on policy, process, and institutional improvement to sustain the Government-wide Monitoring and Evaluation System to safeguard the investments made and meet the demand that has been created.Ukuhlola nokutjhejisiswa kwezinga lokusebenza njengehloso yetuthuko kade kungenye yeenkhwezeleli ezisisekelo begodu neziziinsika zomthethomgomo eSewula Afrika.

The impact of an onboarding programme on work engagement and organisational commitment in a tertiary institution
No full textThe primary aim of the study was to explore the relationship between an onboarding progamme, work engagement and organisational commitment in a South African tertiary institution. The secondary aim was to ascertain whether the demographic characteristics of employees (gender, age, supervising/not supervising others, qualifications and tenure) differed significantly in terms of their onboarding experience, work engagement or organisational commitment. This was achieved through a quantitative survey completed by a stratified sample of n = 176 employees in a tertiary institution. The instruments that were used for the study were a biographical questionnaire, the Onboarding Experience (OE) Questionnaire, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and the Organisational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ).
The results revealed statistically significant relationships between onboarding experience and organisational commitment and between work engagement and organisational commitment. This was based on the analysis of correlational and inferential statistics. In terms of demographic characteristics, there were statistically significant relationships based on the OE, UWES and OCQ scores. Testing the mean differences revealed differences in onboarding experience, work engagement and organisational commitment based on demographic characteristics. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were made for industrial psychology professionals in terms of their onboarding, work engagement and organisational commitment practices, particularly within the tertiary education sector.M.Com.

No full textThe South African Police Service`s fingerprints system cannot identify latent prints of innocent people or first-time offenders, it can only identify persons who had previously been charged. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the use of fingerprint systems to identify latent prints of first-time offenders. A literature review was conducted to provide a background to the topic and to highlight international standards when identifying offenders by means of fingerprints uplifted from the crime scene. The research approach used in this study is a qualitative approach with a case study research design to investigate the study topic through the experiences of officials who are working with the fingerprint system.
Nineteen interviews were conducted in this study. The sample used was small because of the shortage of fingerprint experts. The findings of this study revealed that the Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC) cannot identify latent prints of first-time offenders and that many case dockets are still closed with positive fingerprints because of the lack of identification information. The implemented Person Identity Verification Application (PIVA) system which integrates the fingerprint systems from a few government departments cannot identify latent prints. The PIVA system is placed in police stations not in the LCRC as its aim is to assist the criminal justice system (mainly the courts) with case management and the movement of the offender.
The study therefore recommended the implementation of a system that will allow LCRC experts to identify first-time offenders who are not on LCRC database. It also recommended that the SAPS should have a database of fingerprints information from the citizens who are applying for security checks. This database can store information separately from that of the criminal records and will be accessed to search fingerprints information not found on the Automated Fingerprints Identification System (AFIS). To avoid poorly obtained fingerprints as it has been a concern of all participants, police stations should be issued with digital fingerprints scanners.Sestemo ya dikgatiso tsa menwana ya Tirelo ya Maphodisa ya Afrika Borwa ga e kgone go hlaola dikgatiso tse di utilwego tsa batho bao ba se nago molato goba basenyi ba mathomo, e ka hlaola fela batho bao ba kilego ba latofatswa peleng.

Ngakho-ke, inhloso yalolu cwaningo bekuwukuhlola ukusetshenziswa kwezinhlelo zokugxivizwa kweminwe ukuze kutholakale imibhalo-ecashile yalabo abaqala ngqa ukuphula umthetho. Ukubuyekezwa kwemibhalo kwenziwa ukuze kuhlinzekwe isizinda esihlokweni kanye nokugqamisa izindinganiso zamazwe ngamazwe lapho kuhlonzwa izephula-mthetho ngokusebenzisa izigxivizo zeminwe ephakanyiswe endaweni yesigameko. Indlela yocwaningo esetshenziswe kulolu cwaningo iyindlela esezingeni eliphezulu enomklamo wocwaningo lwesihloko ukuze kuphenywe isihloko socwaningo ngokusebenzisa ulwazi lwezikhulu ezisebenza ngohlelo lweminwe.
Kulolu cwaningo kwenziwa izinhlolokhono eziyishumi nesishiyagalolunye. Isampula esetshenzisiwe ibincane ngenxa yokushoda kochwepheshe bezigxivizo zeminwe. Okutholwe kulolu cwaningo kuveze ukuthi i-Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC) ayikwazi ukuhlonza imibhalo-ecashile yalabo abaqala ukuphula umthetho nokuthi amadokodo amaningi asavaliwe aneminwe emihle ngenxa yokushoda kwemininingwane yawo. Uhlelo olusetshenziswayo lwe-Person Identity Verification Application (PIVA) oluhlanganisa izinhlelo zezigxivizo zeminwe ezivela eminyangweni embalwa kahulumeni azikwazi ukuhlonza amaphrinti acashile. Uhlelo lwe-PIVA lubekwe eziteshini zamaphoyisa ezingekho kwi-LCRC njengoba inhloso yalo iwukusiza uhlelo lwezobulungiswa bobugebengu (ikakhulukazi izinkantolo) ngokuphathwa kwamacala kanye nokuhanjiswa kwabephuli mthetho.
Ngakho-ke lolu cwaningo luncome ukuqaliswa kohlelo oluzovumela ochwepheshe be-LCRC ukuthi bahlonze abaphula umthetho okokuqala ngqa abangekho kusizindalwazi se-LCRC. Iphinde yancoma ukuthi i-SAPS kufanele ibe nesizindalwazi solwazi lwezigxivizo zeminwe ezakhamuzini ezifaka izicelo zokuhlolwa ezokuphepha. Lesi sizindalwazi singagcina imininingwane ngokuhlukene naleyo yamarekhodi obugebengu futhi izofinyelelwa ukuze kuseshwe ulwazi lwezigxivizo zeminwe olungatholakali Ohlelweni Lokuhlonza Izigxivizo Zeminwe Ezizenzakalelayo (eyaziwa nge-AFIS). Ukuze kugwenywe izigxivizo zeminwe ezingatholakalanga kahle njengoba kube ukukhathazeka kwabo bonke ababambiqhaza, iziteshi zamaphoyisa kufanele zinikezwe izithwebuli zeminwe zedijithali.Ph. D.

Strategies employed by social work supervisors and supervisees to manage their supervision relationships within the South African NGO sector
Get PDFM.A. (Social Work)Social WorkSocial work services in South Africa are rendered by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), amongst various other entities. To ensure effective service delivery to clients, social workers working in the NGO sector are supervised. For supervision to occur, both the supervisor and the supervisee enter a supervision relationship and as such, locating the supervision relationship is crucial. This study thus explored strategies employed by social work supervisors and supervisees to manage their supervision relationships within the South African NGO sector. A qualitative approach following an exploratory, descriptive, and contextual design was employed in the study and data collected by means of semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed using Moustakas’ steps for data analysis as outlined by Holloway and Wheeler (2010:286). Guba’s and Lincoln’s model was employed for data verification. Ethical issues such as informed consent, confidentiality, anonymity, harm to participants, debriefing, management of information and beneficence were followed in the study.
The study established that participants employed different strategies to manage their supervision relationships. The participants’ strategies included holding regular supervision sessions, early interventions, confrontation, communicating, understanding, tolerance, and resorting to disciplinary procedures. Based on the findings, recommendations for the social work profession, policy makers and future research are proffered with the goal of improving social work supervision relationships
A framework for branding the City of Johannesburg as a cultural heritage destination
No full textText in English with summaries in Afrikaans and TsongaWidespread negative perceptions regarding Johannesburg can have a negative
impact on tourism visitor numbers in the city. It is not clear whether city
stakeholders are consulted for, or allowed to participate in, the city’s branding
initiatives, which should typically be based on city stakeholders’ opinions.
Therefore, it is evident that substantial knowledge gaps exist regarding the
implementation of appropriate structures and processes for efficient and effective
city branding.
The current research entailed developing a framework for branding the City of
Johannesburg that was tested among city stakeholders. The study followed a
qualitative approach involving the use of a single case study, namely, the City of
Johannesburg and a review of literature rooted in grounded theory was adopted
for the study. Twelve individual in-depth interviews and two focus group

2022 ku hlengeleta data. Data yi xopaxopiwile xiWydverspreide negatiewe persepsies van Johannesburg kan ’n negatiewe impak
hê op toerisme-besoekersgetalle in die stad. Dit is nie duidelik of
stadsbelanghebbers geraadpleeg word, of toegelaat word om deel te neem aan
die stad se handelsmerkinisiatiewe, watgewoonlik gebaseer moet wees op
stadsbelanghebbers se opinies, nie. Dus is dit duidelik dat daar aansienlike
kennisgapings bestaan wat betref die implementering van toepaslike strukture en
prosesse vir doeltreffende stadshandelsmerkgewing.
Die huidige navorsing het die ontwikkeling behels van ’n raamwerk vir die
handelsmerkgewing van die stad Johannesburg wat getoets is onder
stadsbelanghebbers. Die studie het ’n kwalitatiewe benadering gevolg wat die
gebruik van ’n enkele gevallestudie behels het, naamlik die stad Johannesburg,
en ’n oorsig van literatuurwat spruit uit gegronde teorie is aangeneem vir die
studie. ’n Totaal van 12 individuele indringende onderhoude en twee
fokusgroepbesprekings is uitgevoer in April 2022 om data in te samel. Die data
is vraag vir vraag ontleed soos wat dit op die navorsingsinstrument verskyn het
met die hulp van ATLAS.ti, weergawe 22.Ten tyde vandie konseptualiseringvan
die studieis daar beperkte navorsing gedoen oor stadshandelsmerkgewing in
Johannesburg. Dus is die studie se resultate daarop gerig om die gaping te vul
wat in Suid-Afrikaanse handelsmerk-literatuur geïdentifiseer is.
Die bevindings van die studie het getoon dat daar uit die stadsbelanghebbers se
oogpunt ’n beperkte begrip en implementering van toepaslike stadshandelsmerk strukture en
-prosesse is, wat gelei het tot minder doeltreffende stadshandelsmerkgewing. Die
huidige studie is geïntegreer met bestaande literatuur om ’n omvattende
raamwerk vir die handelsmerkgewing van die stad Johannesburg te ontwikkel.
Metodologies gesproke kan die navorsingsinstrument wat in hierdie studie
ontwerp is aangeneem word deur ander stede vir stadshandelsmerkgewing.
Prakties gesproke kan die raamwerk vir die handelsmerkgewing van die stad
Johannesburg deur ander stede gebruik word om hulle handelsmerk te ontwikkel,
te bestuur en te evalueer. ’n Beperking van die studie is egter dat data slegs in
Johannesburg ingesamel is, en net by toerisme-stadsbelanghebbers. Dus moet
x
toekomstige navorsing daarop fokus om die benaderings wat aangeneem is en
die hulpmiddels wat in verskillende stede aangewend is te ondersoek en moet dit
ook nie-toerisme-stadsbelanghebbergroepe ondersoek. Verder moet die
raamwerk vir die handelsmerkgewing van die stad Johannesburg geldig bepaal
word wat betref bestuursrelevansie binne die breër konteks van ander stede in

Adolescent psychosocial identity development associated with traditional rituals and rites of passage in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana
No full textAbstracts in English, Afrikaans and ZuluThis study aimed to explore how adolescents in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana experience their psychological identity development in relation to participating in traditional rituals and rites of passage. This study employed a phenomenology case study design. Focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from participants. The data was analysed through thematic content analysis. The study participants comprised adolescent learners, teachers and parents, who were purposefully selected. Twenty (20) adolescent learners participated in the focus group discussion, whereas twelve (12) teachers, twelve (12) parents and eight (8) adolescent learners participated in the individual interviews.
Findings show that adolescents typically experience their psychological identity development while they participate in traditional rituals and rites of passage in varied and diversified ways. The study found that these initiation processes exposed adolescents to unique cultural values, aided them in developing a broader worldview and might inspire them to explore their identities and beliefs. Furthermore, adolescents experienced increased self-awareness and improved social skills due to participating in ritualisation processes. In contrast, the study also revealed that not all adolescents have positive experiences, as this initiation in the Bosomtwe District may serve to reinforce harmful gender norms, exclusionary practices, or other forms of discrimination. Above all, it is critical to underline that counselling services should strongly emphasise the value of family and community support to assist adolescents' identity development. Hence, a collaborative approach involving guidance counsellors and other professionals, community members, and their leaders is recommended when providing counselling services to adolescents. Policymakers might support efforts to advance inclusivity and cultural diversity by promoting, funding, and maintaining traditional practices. The study also suggests creating policies and structures to encourage integrating traditional practices in formal schooling as it significantly empowers youth and community practice. Future research needs to be comparative studies to comprehend the distinctive features of traditional practices in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana and how they differ from those in other regions of Africa.Die doel van hierdie studie was om te verken hoe adolessente in die Bosomtwe-distrik van Ghana hulle sielkundige identiteitsontwikkeling ervaar ten opsigte van hulle deelname aan tradisionele rituele en deurgangsrites. Die studie het ’n fenomenologiese gevallestudie-ontwerp gebruik. Fokusgroepbesprekings en semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is gebruik om data van deelnemers in te samel en deur tematiese inhoudsontleding te ontleed. Die studiedeelnemers het bestaan uit adolessente leerders, onderwysers en ouers wat doelgerig geselekteer is. Twintig adolessente leerders het aan die fokusgroepbesprekings deelgeneem, terwyl twaalf onderwysers, twaalf ouers en agt adolessente leerders aan die individuele onderhoude deelgeneem het. Bevindinge toon dat adolessente tipies hulle sielkundige identiteitsontwikkeling ervaar terwyl hulle op verskillende maniere aan tradisionele rituele en deurgangsrites deelneem. Die studie het bevind dat hierdie inisiasieprosesse adolessente aan unieke kulturele waardes blootstel, hulle wêreldbeskouing verbreed en hulle kan inspireer om hulle identiteite en oortuigings te verken. Verder het adolessente verhoogde selfbewustheid en verbeterde sosiale vaardighede ervaar deur aan ritualiseringsprosesse deel te neem. Die studie het egter ook aan die lig gebring dat nie alle adolessente positiewe ervarings het nie, aangesien hierdie inisiasie in die Bosomtwe-distrik moontlik skadelike gedragsnorme, uitsluitingspraktyke of ander vorme van diskriminasie kan versterk. Bowenal is dit van kritieke belang dat beradingsdienste die waarde van gesins- en gemeenskapsondersteuning beklemtoon om adolessente se sielkundige identiteitsontwikkeling te help. Daarom word ’n samewerkende benadering wat voorligtingsberaders en ander professionele persone, gemeenskapslede en hulle leiers betrek, aanbeveel wanneer beradingsdienste aan adolessente verskaf word. Beleidmakers kan pogings ondersteun om inklusiwiteit en kulturele diversiteit te bevorder deur tradisionele praktyke te bevorder, te befonds en te handhaaf. Die studie stel ook voor dat beleid en strukture geskep word om integrasie van tradisionele praktyke in formele skoolopleiding aan te moedig aangesien dit die jeug- en gemeenskapspraktyke aansienlik bemagtig. Toekomstige navorsing moet vergelykende studies insluit om die kenmerkende eienskappe van tradisionele praktyke in die Bosomtwe-distrik te verstaan – en hoe dit van dié in ander streke van Afrika verskil.Lolu cwaningo luhloselwe ukuhlola ukuthi abantwana abasakhula esifundeni sase-Bosomtwe e-Ghana bakuthola kanjani ukuthuthuka kobunikazi babo obungokwengqondo ngokuhlobene nokubamba iqhaza kwabo emikhubeni yendabuko namasiko okudlula. Ucwaningo lusebenzise umklamo wocwaningo ochaza ngezinto abantu abahlangabezana nazo ezimpilweni zabo. Izingxoxo zeqembu okugxilwe kuzo kanye nezingxoxo ezihlelwe kancane zisetshenzisiwe ukuqoqa imininingwane kubahlanganyeli futhi imininingwane yahlaziywa ngokuhlaziywa kokuqukethwe kwendikimba. Abahlanganyeli bocwaningo bahlanganisa abantwana abasakhula, othisha nabazali, abakhethwe ngenhloso. Abantwana abasakhula abangamashumi amabili babambe iqhaza engxoxweni yeqembu, kanti othisha abayishumi nambili, abazali abayishumi nambili kanye nabantwana abayisishiyagalombili abasakhula babambe iqhaza ezingxoxweni zomuntu ngamunye. Okutholakele kubonisa ukuthi abantwana abasakhula bavamise ukuzwa ukukhula kobunikazi babo bengqondo kuyilapho babamba iqhaza emikhubeni yendabuko nemikhuba yamasiko ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi lezi zinqubo zokuthwasa zidalule abantwana abasakhula kuzindinganiso zamasiko eziyingqayizivele, zandisa umbono wazo womhlaba futhi zingase zibakhuthaze ukuba bahlole ubunjalo nezinkolelo zabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantwana abasakhula bathola ukuzazi okuthuthukile kanye namakhono omphakathi athuthukisiwe ngokubamba iqhaza ezinqubeni zamasiko. Kodwa-ke, lolu cwaningo luphinde lwembula ukuthi akubona bonke abantwana abasakhula abahlangabezane nokuhle, njengoba lokhu kuthwasa esifundeni saseBosomtwe kungase kuqinise imikhuba yobulili eyingozi, imikhuba yokubandlulula, noma ezinye izinhlobo zokucwasa. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, kubalulekile ukuthi izinsizakalo zokwelulekwa zigcizelele kakhulu ukubaluleka kokwesekwa komndeni nomphakathi ukusiza ukuthuthukiswa kobunikazi kwabantwana abasakhula. Ngakho-ke, kuphakanyiswa indlela yokusebenzisana ehlanganisa abeluleki bezeluleko nabanye ochwepheshe, amalungu omphakathi nabaholi bawo lapho kuhlinzekwa izinsizakalo zokwelulekwa ebantwaneni abasakhula. Abenzi benqubomgomo bangase basekele imizamo yokuqhubekisela phambili ukubandakanywa nokuhlukahluka kwamasiko ngokukhuthaza, ukuxhasa ngezimali, nokugcina imikhuba yendabuko. Lolu cwaningo luphinde luphakamise ukuthi kwakhiwe izinqubomgomo nezinhlaka ezikhuthaza ukuhlanganiswa kwemikhuba yendabuko esikoleni esisemthethweni njengoba kunika amandla intsha kanye nezinqubo zomphakathi. Ucwaningo lwesikhathi esizayo ludinga ukufaka izifundo zokuqhathanisa ukuze kuqondwe izici ezihlukile zemikhuba yendabuko esiFundeni saseBosomtwe - nokuthi zihluke kanjani kulezo ezikwezinye izifunda zase-Afrika.D.

Employer expectation of requisite skills of graduates of the master's in psychology with specialisation in research consultation (MARC) graduates
No full textThis study aimed at describing employers’ expectations from MARC graduates, with the intention to address the skills required by employers from MARC graduates to be employable in the South African labour market, as a research question. To address this research question, the sociological institutional theory was applicable to construct the expectations of employers from MARC graduates. In addition, through the social constructionism paradigm, the methodology followed, included a generic qualitative research design and a snowball selection method to access ten participants, where data was collected through semi-structured interviews with the use of an interview schedule as a guide to conduct the interviews. Data received were transcribed, and a thematic analysis method applied for analysis.
The findings of this study demonstrated the constructed expectations that employers shared, to make sense of effective research skills that MARC graduates should possess to become employable. These employers had important roles in decision-making phases of recruitment, hence, exploring their constructed expectations assisted in determining the requisite skills contributing towards graduateness and employability of MARC graduates. Therefore, the findings indicated that MARC graduates should obtain completed qualifications and be affiliated with a professional board for meaningful networking. Furthermore, employers of MARC graduates emphasised the value of recruiting graduates with generic skills that complemented their qualifications and contributed towards effective performance in the work world. Moreover, these employers valued MARC graduates with subject knowledge that would assist these graduates in performing work activities effectively. These employers indicated that MARC graduates were expected to obtain work experience prior to joining the working world. Therefore, employers of MARC graduates expect graduates who have been exposed to research processes and are able to apply these processes practically, to benefit different communities. The findings of this study might contribute to the curriculum development of training employable MARC graduates, as well as to address the needs of employers. However, the small number of participants involved in the study may be limitations to the study.Psycholog
