This paper discusses the use of technology as enabler for sustaining teaching and learning by reviewing various local and international publications. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19) in 2020, the Departments of Basic and Higher Education in South Africa ordered all institutions of learning to shut down and start using online education as a substitute for face-to-face teaching and learning processes. [...]what were educators' and students' experiences and attitudes towards the use of technology as enabler for sustaining teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic? Digital technology played a significant role in enabling teachers to teach students at a distance, using tools that enable both synchronous and asynchronous communication with whole class, groups and individual children or young people, access to learning materials, and interactive and collaborative activities (Starkey et al., 2021). Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic presented opportunities and challenges to all educational institutions, regardless of their nature (Fowler, 2020). Besides the social and economic challenges inherent there, lecturers and students also faced personal challenges such as lack of access to internet connectivity, lack of equipment for online learning, and unreliable power supply (Mahaye, 2020).
本文通过查阅本地及国际刊物,探讨如何运用科技促进教学。自2020年冠状病毒(Covid-19)爆发以来,南非基础教育和高等教育部门下令关闭所有学习机构,并开始使用在线教育代替面对面的教学过程。[…在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,教育工作者和学生对利用技术促进教学的经验和态度如何?数字技术在使教师能够远程教授学生方面发挥了重要作用,使用的工具可以与整个班级、团体和儿童或青少年个人进行同步和异步通信,获取学习材料,以及进行互动和协作活动(Starkey et al., 2021)。此外,Covid-19大流行给所有教育机构带来了机遇和挑战,无论其性质如何(Fowler, 2020)。除了固有的社会和经济挑战之外,讲师和学生还面临着个人挑战,例如缺乏互联网连接,缺乏在线学习设备以及不可靠的电力供应(Mahaye, 2020)。

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease was declared an international public health emergency as the virus spread across many countries and territories. Due to the rapid rate the virus was spreading, the South African president announced the closure of schools in March 2020. The protection of children and teachers was incredibly important. Precautions were necessary to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 in school settings;however, care had to be taken to avoid stigmatising students and staff who may have been exposed to the virus. With a phased-in approach to grades returning to school, school leaders had to ensure that their environment was safe, conducive, welcoming, respectful, inclusive and supportive at all times. A qualitative case study, involving individual interviews with principals, was conducted using the Health Theoretical Framework of attitudes, behaviours and communication (ABCs) to investigate how school leaders were ensuring a safe and conducive environment for teachers and learners. The findings highlighted establishing an emergency School Management Team to be the COVID-19 point of contact, implementing social distancing, frequent sanitising, mask-wearing, daily screening, encouraging flexible school times and promoting the outdoor classroom. Staff with comorbidities were assigned noncontact duties.
随着冠状病毒在许多国家和地区蔓延,此次疫情被宣布为国际突发公共卫生事件。由于病毒传播速度之快,南非总统于2020年3月宣布关闭学校。保护孩子和老师是非常重要的。预防措施是必要的,以防止COVID-19在学校环境中的潜在传播;但是,必须注意避免使可能接触过该病毒的学生和工作人员蒙羞。通过分阶段的方法,学校领导必须确保他们的环境在任何时候都是安全、有益、欢迎、尊重、包容和支持的。本研究采用健康态度、行为和沟通理论框架(ABCs)进行定性个案研究,与校长进行个别访谈,以调查学校领导如何确保为教师和学习者提供安全和有益的环境。调查结果强调了建立一个紧急学校管理小组作为COVID-19的接触点,实施社交距离,经常消毒,戴口罩,每日筛查,鼓励灵活的上课时间和推广户外教室。有合并症的工作人员被分配非接触任务。

The fact that poverty has largely been conceptualised from a narrow financial perspective in South African higher education may have contributed to its perpetuation among students. There is limited research on the multidimensionality of poverty, particularly its wide-ranging effect on students in universities. Using the capabilities approach, this study explores the extent of poverty, as well as the way various dimensions of deprivation interplay to affect the wellbeing and success of students in universities. The study employs a sequential-mixed research design and gathers data at a university, initially using three focus group discussions followed by a survey questionnaire administered to 2306 students and 470 student voices and unfiltered stories. Both focus group discussion data and the short stories were coded and analysed using NVivo 12. The themes generated included basic needs, resources, psychological wellbeing, living conditions and participation. The findings of survey questionnaires, which were analysed using Stata, R, SPSS and Microsoft Excel, indicate a complex relationship between the dimensions of deprivations that affect students and the corrosive effect lack of finances has. While providing funding only does not sufficiently address student poverty, the study recommends that universities should consider devising robust measures to identify those financially deprived and provide them with adequate funding. Concurrently, universities should address other forms of deprivations, using mentorship programmes, for instance, to prevent and reduce psychological stress, shame, stigma and loss of dignity among poor students.
在南非高等教育中,贫困在很大程度上被从狭隘的财务角度概念化,这一事实可能是导致贫困在学生中长期存在的原因。关于贫困的多维性,特别是其对大学生的广泛影响的研究有限。利用能力方法,本研究探讨了贫困的程度,以及贫困的各个方面如何相互作用,影响大学学生的幸福和成功。该研究采用了顺序混合研究设计,并在一所大学收集数据,最初采用三次焦点小组讨论,然后对2306名学生进行调查问卷,并对470名学生的声音和未经过滤的故事进行调查。使用NVivo 12对焦点小组讨论数据和短篇故事进行编码和分析。产生的主题包括基本需求、资源、心理健康、生活条件和参与。使用Stata, R, SPSS和Microsoft Excel对调查问卷的结果进行了分析,结果表明,影响学生的贫困维度与经济缺乏的腐蚀效应之间存在复杂的关系。虽然仅仅提供资金并不能充分解决学生贫困问题,但该研究建议,大学应该考虑制定强有力的措施来识别那些经济上贫困的学生,并为他们提供足够的资金。同时,大学应解决其他形式的剥夺问题,例如利用指导方案,防止和减少贫困学生的心理压力、羞耻、耻辱和丧失尊严。

The use of an accelerated learning programme as an intervention to allow failing students to repeat a module in an accelerated format instead of having to redo a module over a semester or academic year has various academic, economic, and social benefits. Accelerated learning programmes are, however, often criticised in the literature for surface learning that may influence subsequent learning. Using a quantitative approach, this study statistically analysed the grades achieved by three distinct groups of students for a first-year financial accounting module and their subsequent second-year financial accounting module. The study found no statistical difference between students who repeated a module over the traditional academic period and those who repeated the module in an accelerated format. This study contributes to the limited research on accelerated learning programmes for repeating a module. The results provide empirical evidence that supports the questioning of the notion that accelerated learning programmes only lead to surface learning, and results are presented that advocate for the implementation of accelerated learning programmes as an effective mode for repeating students to follow to achieve academic success, given the various benefits.
使用加速学习计划作为一种干预,允许不及格的学生以加速的形式重复一个模块,而不是在一个学期或一学年中重新学习一个模块,这具有各种学术、经济和社会效益。然而,在文献中,加速学习计划经常被批评为可能影响后续学习的表面学习。采用定量方法,本研究统计分析了三组不同学生在第一年财务会计模块和随后的第二年财务会计模块中取得的成绩。研究发现,在传统学习期间重复学习一门课程的学生和在加速学习模式中重复学习一门课程的学生之间没有统计学差异。本研究有助于对重复模块的加速学习方案进行有限的研究。结果提供了经验证据,支持对加速学习计划只导致表面学习的概念的质疑,并且提出的结果主张实施加速学习计划作为重复学生遵循以获得学业成功的有效模式,考虑到各种好处。

The role of tutorship programmes at universities is well documented. Given the continual challenges faced by universities such as low pass rates, low retention rates, low graduation rates, under-preparedness of first-year students, low throughput rates, and at-risk students, tutorship programmes have become an indispensable part of teaching and learning at universities. Tutorship programmes are one of the key interventions put in place by universities to ameliorate these challenges as part of student support and development mechanisms. It is said that a positive correlation exists between tutorship and improved student academic performance. Additionally, tutorship programmes are beneficial for tutors as well, as they develop critical skills throughout the programme. As such, it is befitting to reflect critically on the sustainability of the tutorship programme as a tool for student development (both the tutor and the student). This paper adopts a systems approach to reflect on the question of how to sustain a tutorship programme at a university of technology. A systems approach is a management technique used for examining all critical areas of an organisation. Within the context of higher education, it makes it possible to analyse teaching and learning enterprise and enable an appropriate analysis of the critical areas of the tutorship programme. A systems approach is adopted in this paper to demonstrate the holistic functioning of the tutorship programme, its tenets, as well as the factors that affect its sustainability. To understand the sustainability of tutorship, it is not enough to view it merely as a product of teaching and learning and the responsibility of academic departments and lecturers: rather, tutorship should be seen as an integral part of a university system, a more complex phenomenon than a mere sum of its constituent tenets, because the interrelationship between parts of the university plays a critical role for the sustainability of the tutorship programme. to sustain tutorship as student support and development using a systems approach.

大学辅导课程的作用有据可查。鉴于大学面临的持续挑战,如低通过率、低留校率、低毕业率、一年级学生准备不足、低吞吐量以及有风险的学生,辅导计划已成为大学教学中不可或缺的一部分。作为学生支持和发展机制的一部分,辅导计划是大学为改善这些挑战而采取的关键干预措施之一。据说辅导与提高学生的学习成绩之间存在正相关关系。此外,辅导课程对导师也是有益的,因为他们在整个课程中发展了关键技能。因此,对作为学生(导师和学生)发展工具的辅导计划的可持续性进行批判性反思是合适的。本文采用系统的方法来思考如何在科技大学维持辅导计划的问题。系统方法是一种用于检查组织所有关键领域的管理技术。在高等教育的背景下,它可以分析教学和学习企业,并对辅导计划的关键领域进行适当的分析。本文采用系统方法来展示辅导计划的整体功能,其原则以及影响其可持续性的因素。要理解辅导计划的可持续性,仅仅把它看作是教与学的产物和学术部门和讲师的责任是不够的:相反,辅导应该被看作是大学系统的一个组成部分,一个比其组成原则的简单总和更复杂的现象,因为大学各部分之间的相互关系对辅导计划的可持续性起着至关重要的作用。以系统的方法维持辅导学生的支持和发展。实证研究和非实证研究都有

The quest for access to higher education has increased rapidly in the past 25 years of democracy in South Africa. However, this increase has not been matched by student academic success. This lack of success may even be worse with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has given rise to challenges that have affected student learning, especially for students who come from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. In response to these, many institutions of higher learning have resorted to online teaching and learning. Despite this aforementioned lack of success, there are some who have succeeded. This group of students is the focus of our study. Therefore, the question discussed here is: How do students of historically disadvantaged backgrounds have access to higher education and succeed in their studies, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic? We employed a qualitative methodological approach, where the case study research design was adopted. A purposive sampling strategy was used to select a total of 18 participants from the School of Education at the University of Limpopo in South Africa. The sample was divided into four categories. The first category was made up of 10 students. The second category comprised 2 administrative staff, the third category consisted of 4 academic staff and 2 support staff (residence and academic writing) formed the last category. Data was collected through interviews and document analysis. The findings showed that students from disadvantaged backgrounds encountered challenges with their academic and their social lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we established that they developed coping skills (working in groups, moving around from one spot to the other in search of a strong connectivity) to navigate through their challenges. These findings imply that students from historically disadvantaged backgrounds can succeed if they leverage their studies on self-agency and social capital despite disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
在南非实行民主的过去25年里,寻求接受高等教育的人数迅速增加。然而,这种增长并没有与学生的学业成就相匹配。随着COVID-19大流行的到来,这种缺乏成功的情况甚至可能更加严重。新冠肺炎疫情带来的挑战影响了学生的学习,特别是那些来自历史上处于不利地位背景的学生。为了应对这些问题,许多高等院校都采取了在线教学的方式。尽管前面提到的缺乏成功,但还是有一些人成功了。这群学生是我们学习的重点。因此,这里讨论的问题是:历史上弱势背景的学生如何获得高等教育并在学业上取得成功,特别是在COVID-19大流行期间?我们采用了定性方法,其中采用了案例研究的研究设计。采用有目的的抽样策略,从南非林波波大学教育学院共选择了18名参与者。样本被分为四类。第一类由10名学生组成。第二类包括2名行政人员,第三类包括4名学术人员和2名后勤人员(住宿和学术写作)组成最后一类。通过访谈和文献分析收集数据。调查结果显示,在新冠肺炎大流行期间,来自贫困家庭的学生在学业和社交生活方面遇到了挑战。然而,我们确定他们发展了应对技能(在团队中工作,从一个地方移动到另一个地方以寻找强大的联系)来应对他们的挑战。这些研究结果表明,尽管受到COVID-19大流行等干扰,但来自历史上弱势背景的学生如果能够利用自我代理和社会资本来学习,就能取得成功。

However, this increase has not been matched by student academic success. This lack of success may even be worse with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to these, many institutions of higher learning have resorted to online teaching and learning. Despite this aforementioned lack of success, there are some who have succeeded.
