Re-envisioning the Education System for 4IR: Exploring the Experiences Faced by First Entering Students from Rural-based Institutions on the Use of Digital Learning during the Coronavirus Pandemic in Limpopo province, South Africa 重新设想第四次工业革命的教育体系:探索南非林波波省冠状病毒大流行期间农村院校首次入学学生使用数字学习的经验

The paper explores the experiences faced by first entering students from rural based institutions on the use of digital learning during the coronavirus pandemic in South Africa. The Coronavirus pandemic has uncovered the gross imbalances that are the legacies of apartheid and colonisation. The education system has and is still going through uncommon changes to acclimatise to the lockdown measures that disrupted physical classes. A participatory action research method was adopted. Data was collected from 10 first year students and 3 lecturers through WhatsApp. A critical theory underpinned the study. Through thematic data analysis, the paper unearthed that while the South African government is championing online teaching and learning in the country to evade challenges introduced with the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, this mode excludes many first-year students from rural-based institutions. The paper recommends the need for a comprehensive methodology that caters for the lived realities of students.
本文探讨了在南非冠状病毒大流行期间,农村院校的新生在使用数字学习方面所面临的经验。冠状病毒大流行揭示了种族隔离和殖民主义遗留下来的严重不平衡。教育系统已经并仍在经历不同寻常的变化,以适应中断体育课的封锁措施。采用参与式行动研究方法。通过WhatsApp收集了10名一年级学生和3名讲师的数据。一种批判理论支撑了这项研究。通过专题数据分析,该论文发现,尽管南非政府在该国倡导在线教学,以逃避冠状病毒大流行带来的挑战,但这种模式将农村机构的许多一年级学生排除在外。这篇论文建议需要一种综合的方法来迎合学生的生活现实。

The Shifts to Online Learning: Think Piece: Assumptions, Implications and Possibilities for Quality Education in Teacher Education 向在线学习的转变:思考篇:教师教育中素质教育的假设、含义和可能性
Pub Date : 2021-06-17 DOI: 10.4314/sajee.v36i1.16

With the advent of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which has spread to the majority of countries across the world, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. Governments all over the world, including in southern Africa, introduced measures such as the banning of large gatherings,closure of borders, schools and institutions of higher learning to curb the spread of COVID-19. To ensure ongoing teaching and learning, institutions of higher learning made resolutions to transition to remote/online teaching and learning. While online education has long preceded the pandemic, the spiraling of COVID-19 all over the world resulted in the upscaling of online teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Mandatory online teaching and learning was a relatively new practice to most lecturers and students in southern Africa. Drawing on two case stories from Botswana and Namibia, this paper offers a think piece on the shifts to online learning, considering assumptions, implications and possibilities for quality learning in teacher education, through a reflection by teacher educators of environment and sustainability courses. The assumptions in online learning were that students and teacher educators had the capacity and infrastructure for remote/online teaching and learning. This paper thus opens up opportunities for institutions of higher learning to scale up their Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure and support for both students and teacher educators for online teaching and learning which have the potential to improve on quality education during times of crisis. Keywords: Online teaching and learning, ICT infrastructure, Education for SustainableDevelopment (ESD), quality education
随着冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的出现,并已蔓延到世界上大多数国家,世界卫生组织(世卫组织)于2020年3月11日宣布全球大流行。包括南部非洲在内的世界各国政府采取了禁止大型集会、关闭边境、关闭学校和高等院校等措施,以遏制COVID-19的传播。为了保证持续的教学和学习,高等院校决心向远程/在线教学过渡。虽然在线教育早在大流行之前就已经存在,但随着COVID-19在全球范围内的螺旋式上升,高等教育机构的在线教学和学习规模不断扩大。对南部非洲的大多数教师和学生来说,强制性在线教学是一种相对较新的做法。本文以博茨瓦纳和纳米比亚的两个案例为例,通过教师教育工作者对环境和可持续发展课程的反思,对教师教育中高质量学习的假设、影响和可能性进行了思考。在线学习的假设是学生和教师教育者有能力和基础设施进行远程/在线教学和学习。因此,本文为高等院校扩大其信息通信技术(ICT)基础设施以及为学生和教师教育工作者提供在线教学和学习支持提供了机会,这有可能在危机时期提高教育质量。关键词:在线教学、ICT基础设施、可持续发展教育(ESD)、素质教育

Viewpoint: Prospect of Military Educational Roles during Public Health Crises - Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic in South Africa 观点:军事教育在公共卫生危机中的作用前景——来自南非COVID-19大流行的教训
Pub Date : 2021-06-17 DOI: 10.4314/sajee.v36i1.15

This viewpoint paper examines the prospect of an effective educational role for the military during public health crises. Reflecting a broad understanding of environmental education as education to protect the public space, the authors argue that the military could provide this during times of crises. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa included the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), thus offering a unique opportunity to inquire into this contentious possibility. At the outset of the outbreak, some scholars deemed the SANDF unfit to make any meaningful contribution to the fight against the novel coronavirus. Leadership and coordination hurdles, a longstanding legitimacy crisis and inadequate training, may justify this pessimistic view. Based on available literature and document analysis, the authors propose the viewpoint that the military can play a progressive environmental educational role during crises if (1) its educational programmes such as green soldiering are intensified, widened and adequately informed by training; (2) if more is made of the experience, cultural insights and personnel gain during peacekeeping missions; (3) if healthy civil-military relations are prioritised, along with (4) military professionalism, supported by a deeper understanding in society of the diversity of roles and skills the military could offer. The military itself needs to recognise this and not train all personnel as if they are about to enter combat with an enemy. Should these elements be present, the security forces could indeed be a force for good during times of public health crises.Keywords: COVID-19, civil-military relations, environmental education, pandemics, SANDF
这篇观点论文探讨了在公共卫生危机期间军队有效教育作用的前景。作者认为,军队可以在危机时期提供这种教育,这反映了对环境教育作为保护公共空间的教育的广泛理解。南非应对COVID-19大流行的行动包括南非国防军(SANDF),从而为探讨这一有争议的可能性提供了一个独特的机会。在疫情爆发之初,一些学者认为SANDF不适合为抗击新型冠状病毒做出任何有意义的贡献。领导和协调方面的障碍、长期存在的合法性危机以及培训不足,可能会证明这种悲观观点是正确的。基于现有的文献和文件分析,作者提出了这样一种观点,即军队可以在危机期间发挥渐进式的环境教育作用,如果:(1)通过训练加强、扩大和充分了解绿色士兵等教育计划;(2)是否更多地阐述在维和任务期间的经验、文化见解和人员收获;(3)如果优先考虑健康的军民关系,以及(4)军事专业精神,并在社会上对军队可以提供的角色和技能的多样性有更深入的理解的支持下。军队本身需要认识到这一点,而不是把所有人员都训练成即将与敌人作战的人。如果这些因素存在,安全部队确实可以在公共卫生危机期间成为一支正义的力量。关键词:新冠肺炎,军民关系,环境教育,流行病,SANDF

Teacher Professional Development and Geography Teachers’ Pedagogical Practices for Climate Change Education 教师专业发展与地理教师气候变化教育教学实践
Pub Date : 2021-06-17 DOI: 10.4314/sajee.v36i1.17

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was added to the South African Geography school curriculum when the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) was implemented from 2012. Many in-service teachers who qualified prior to 2014 did not cover this concept during their initial teacher education qualification because it was not part of the curriculum at that time. To address this deficiency, a teacher professional development (TPD) module was developed by the Fundisa for Change programme and offered to a selection of in-service high school Geography teachers. Transformative learning theory helped to understand the pedagogical practices used by teachers after attending the Fundisa for Change teacher professional development programme, in particular the use of a learner-centred approach. Using a small-scale, qualitative and interpretive case study method, the influence of this short TPD course on the teaching of climate change in the Geography CAPS curriculum on teachers’ pedagogical practices was investigated. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis and lesson observations. Data were analysed using both inductive thematic and deductive analysis. Findings from this small sample of five teachers and their practices suggest that despite attending the programme, most of the participating teachers did not sufficientlyintegrate climate change education in their Geography classroom practices. The majority of the research participants did not implement the learner-centred teaching methods covered in the course. It is therefore recommended that a teacher professional development programme should be incorporated into longer-term and preferably ongoing professional development programmes so as to adequately foster climate change education in classroom practices. Keywords: Geography, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), climate change education, teacher professional development, learner-centred pedagogies 
从2012年开始实施课程评估政策声明(CAPS)时,可持续发展教育(ESD)被添加到南非地理学校的课程中。许多在2014年之前获得资格的在职教师在最初的教师教育资格证书中没有涵盖这一概念,因为当时它不是课程的一部分。为了解决这一不足,funda for Change项目开发了教师专业发展(TPD)模块,并将其提供给一些在职高中地理教师。变革学习理论有助于理解教师在参加“变革基金会”教师专业发展项目后使用的教学实践,特别是以学习者为中心的方法的使用。采用小规模、定性和解释性的案例研究方法,调查了地理CAPS课程中气候变化短课程对教师教学实践的影响。通过半结构化访谈、文献分析和课堂观察等方式收集数据。数据分析使用归纳主题和演绎分析。这个由五位教师组成的小样本及其实践的结果表明,尽管参加了该项目,但大多数参与的教师并没有充分地将气候变化教育融入他们的地理课堂实践。大多数研究参与者没有实施课程中涵盖的以学习者为中心的教学方法。因此,建议将教师专业发展方案纳入长期的、最好是正在进行的专业发展方案,以便在课堂实践中充分促进气候变化教育。关键词:地理,可持续发展教育,气候变化教育,教师专业发展,以学习者为中心的教学法

Corona-virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China. It spread to most parts of the world. COVID-19 triggered a wave of unprecedented changes in education systems in many parts of the world and South Africa was no exception. A shift from traditional to virtual modes of learning presented several challenges, particularly in resource constrained settings such as developing countries. These challenges ranged from access to internet to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure and gadgets among others. This study adopted a qualitative approach. Data were collected on two official Facebook Pages of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. We used E.M Rodgers‘ Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI) as the lens to reflect on students‘ responses to the issue of migration to virtual learning posted on the University‘s Facebook Pages. The findings indicated that the shift mostly affected those students who hailed from low-income households. Several challenges such as interface with technology, and poor network connectivity hindered the shift. Some students felt that the shift was a much awaited innovation. They applauded the University for embracing the shift as it was moving with the times since the world is faced with a new revolution in technology, the Fourth Industrial revolution (4IR).
冠状病毒病-2019 (COVID-19)起源于中国武汉。它传播到世界大部分地区。2019冠状病毒病在世界许多地区引发了一波前所未有的教育体系变革,南非也不例外。从传统学习模式向虚拟学习模式的转变带来了若干挑战,特别是在发展中国家等资源有限的环境中。这些挑战包括互联网接入、信息和通信技术(ICT)基础设施和设备等。本研究采用定性方法。数据是在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔大学的两个官方Facebook页面上收集的。我们使用e.m. Rodgers的创新扩散理论(DOI)作为透镜,以反映学生对大学Facebook页面上发布的迁移到虚拟学习问题的反应。研究结果表明,这种转变主要影响那些来自低收入家庭的学生。一些挑战,如与技术的接口,以及糟糕的网络连接阻碍了这种转变。一些学生认为,这种转变是人们期待已久的创新。他们赞扬大学顺应时代潮流,顺应时代潮流,迎接第四次工业革命。

Institutional Analysis of Adoption of Agroforestry Practices in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa 南非东开普省采用农林业做法的制度分析
Pub Date : 2020-12-17 DOI: 10.4314/sajee.v36i1.9

Agroforestry practices are innovations developed in response to problems associated with inappropriate land use practices. The latter refers to the use of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes because of an increase in urbanisation, rapidly developing industry, and investments, and, finally, gaps in laws and regulations (Cengiz, 2013). Agroforestry practices are land-based economic development strategies with a perceived positive role in supporting rural livelihoods. Using a logistic regression model with cross-sectional data, this study explores the impact of institutional factors and incentive mechanisms that affect the adoption of agroforestry innovations. The study finds that a larger number of extension services, access to credit, access to extension, information exchange among farmers, trust in local institutions, active participation in social  groups and organisations, and prior exposure to agricultural technologies are the variables that positively affect the adoption of agroforestry innovations in the study area. These findings have policy implications in promoting integrated rural development in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
农林业做法是针对与不适当的土地使用做法有关的问题而开发的创新。后者指的是由于城市化的增加、工业的快速发展和投资,以及法律法规的空白,将农业用地用于非农业目的(Cengiz, 2013)。农林业实践是基于土地的经济发展战略,在支持农村生计方面发挥了积极作用。本研究采用具有横截面数据的逻辑回归模型,探讨了影响农林业创新的制度因素和激励机制的影响。研究发现,大量的推广服务、获得信贷的机会、获得推广的机会、农民之间的信息交流、对当地机构的信任、对社会团体和组织的积极参与以及事先接触农业技术是积极影响研究地区采用农林业创新的变量。这些发现对促进南非东开普省农村综合发展具有政策意义。
