Background: Life Orientation educators hold great responsibility for the well-being of their students, which can be supported through imparting sexuality education. However, the absence of formal training for this subject may have negative consequences in fulfilling professional duties.Objectives: This article intends to foreground how Life Orientation educators impart sexuality education to their students, exploring aspects of their personal attitudes and comfort in imparting education related to sexuality and queerness.Methods: This qualitative study consisted of five Life Orientation educators in the Gauteng Province to understand their approaches to impart sexuality education to their students and the influence of their personal upbringings. The research was thematically analysed through a systems theory framework.Results: The results emphasise how personal religious beliefs impact sexuality education’s delivery and educators’ discretion in implementing the curriculum. The ambiguity of the curriculum and diverse teaching backgrounds also contribute to avoidance of topics like sexuality education and queer identities. Moreover, the non-examinable nature of these topics, combined with subjective interpretations of age-appropriateness, further marginalise them.Conclusion: This article calls for awareness of the consequences of religious convictions and subjective perceptions of age-appropriateness of educators on the delivery of sexuality and queer education.Contribution: This study contributes by highlighting challenges faced by Life Orientation educators in creating inclusive environments when personal religious beliefs conflict with comprehensive sexuality education. It enhances understanding of areas for improvement in training and subject knowledge to ensure educators affirm diverse identities and impart sexuality education effectively.
背景:生活定向教育工作者对学生的福祉负有重大责任,可以通过传授性教育来支持这一责任。然而,缺乏这方面的正规培训可能会对履行专业职责产生负面影响:本文旨在介绍生活定向教育工作者如何向学生传授性教育,探讨他们在传授与性和同性恋相关的教育时的个人态度和舒适度:这项定性研究包括对豪滕省的五名生活定向教育工作者进行调查,以了解他们向学生传授性教育的方法以及个人成长经历对他们的影响。研究通过系统理论框架进行了专题分析:研究结果强调了个人宗教信仰如何影响性教育的实施以及教育工作者在实施课程时的自由裁量权。课程的模糊性和不同的教学背景也导致了对性教育和同性恋身份等话题的回避。此外,这些主题的非考试性质,加上对年龄适宜性的主观解释,使其进一步边缘化:本文呼吁人们认识到宗教信仰和教育者对年龄适宜性的主观理解对开展性教育和同性恋教育的影响:本研究强调了当个人宗教信仰与全面性教育相冲突时,生活取向教育工作者在营造包容性环境方面所面临的挑战。本研究还有助于了解在培训和学科知识方面需要改进的地方,以确保教育工作者肯定不同身份并有效开展性教育。

Background: Poverty, inequality and unemployment interfere with adequate education and training in South Africa. Young people need to be empowered and enabled to navigate their way through education into the world of work to earn a sustainable livelihood.Objectives: The aim of this article is to capture life-experience and perspectives of adolescent girls who participated in a multifaceted group intervention to develop both fundamental hope and social emotional learning (SEL) skills, as they make decisions regarding their future education and training. A purposive sample of adolescent girls (n = 116) who were making decisions regarding their future education and training participated in a multifaceted group intervention.Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used. Data were collected by an open-ended questionnaire. Raw data were coded and emerging themes were identified using an iterative recursive approach.Results: The emerging themes are illustrated using direct quotes from participating girls, against a background of theoretical context. The findings highlight: the importance of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills; listening to narratives from people who have conquered adversities; and, the suitability of a culturally and contextually relevant group-based multifaceted intervention.Conclusion: In the global south, youth need to be enabled and empowered, with SEL skills using the constructs of hope as a foundation. Furthermore, youth need to be exposed to work opportunities available to them in context.Contribution: This study makes a valuable contribution to social-constructivist indigenous knowledge by giving voice to life-experiences and perspectives of adolescent girls who participated in a multifaceted group intervention.
背景:在南非,贫困、不平等和失业阻碍了充分的教育和培训。需要增强年轻人的能力,使他们能够通过教育进入职场,从而获得可持续的生计:本文旨在捕捉少女的生活经历和观点,这些少女参加了一项多方面的小组干预活动,以培养基本的希望和社会情感学习(SEL)技能,并就未来的教育和培训做出决定。有目的性地抽样调查了正在为未来教育和培训做决定的少女(n = 116),她们参加了多方面的小组干预活动:方法:采用定性个案研究方法。通过开放式问卷收集数据。采用迭代递归法对原始数据进行编码并确定新出现的主题:结果:在理论背景下,通过直接引用参与女孩的话来说明新出现的主题。研究结果强调了:人际交往和人内技能的重要性;倾听战胜逆境者的讲述;以及基于文化和背景的、与群体相关的多方面干预措施的适用性:结论:在全球南部,需要以希望为基础,培养和增强青年的能力,使其掌握 SEL 技能。此外,还需要让青年接触到他们在当地可以获得的工作机会:本研究对社会建构主义本土知识做出了宝贵贡献,为参与多方面小组干预的少女提供了生活经验和视角。

Background: Career guidance and counselling in secondary schools are crucial for young adolescents as they embark on the initial stages of shaping their post-school studies and career goals. Initiating career guidance as early as Grade 9 is imperative to ensure alignment between chosen subjects and future career aspirations. The study was conducted with Grade 12 learners at a resource-constrained high school in Cape Town, Western Cape.Objectives: Utilising the Systems Theory Framework (STF), we sought to explore Grade 12 learners’ perceptions of the effectiveness of career guidance and counselling and its significance in shaping future career choices.Method: The study used a qualitative methodology. Semi-structured online interviews were used to gather the data, which were then analysed thematically. The study consisted of a sample size of 16 Grade 12 participants.Results: The findings indicated that learners found career guidance and counselling effective for deciding future occupations, with a preference for opportunities such as job shadowing and interactions with experts in the field of interest. However, limited access to vocational resources and a lack of structured classroom guidance led learners to conduct their own research.Conclusion: The study recommends that life orientation teachers actively engage with organisations and relevant stakeholders in providing career guidance and counselling to learners and ensure that pupils have sufficient access to career resources for effective career guidance.Contribution: These findings are a valuable resource for professionals and policymakers seeking to improve high school learners’ educational experiences, providing a framework for future scholars delving into the dynamic field of career counselling.
背景:中学的职业指导和咨询对青少年来说至关重要,因为他们正处于塑造自己毕业后的学业和职业目标的初始阶段。为了确保所选科目与未来职业理想相一致,从九年级就开始进行职业指导势在必行。研究对象是西开普省开普敦市一所资源有限的高中的 12 年级学生:利用系统理论框架(STF),我们试图探讨 12 年级学生对职业指导和咨询有效性的看法及其在塑造未来职业选择方面的意义:研究采用定性方法。采用半结构化在线访谈收集数据,然后对数据进行专题分析。研究样本包括 16 名 12 年级学生:研究结果表明,学生认为职业指导和咨询对决定未来的职业很有效,他们更喜欢工作实习和与感兴趣领域的专家互动等机会。然而,由于获得职业资源的机会有限,以及缺乏有组织的课堂指导,学生们不得不自己开展研究:本研究建议生活定向教师在向学生提供职业指导和咨询时,积极与组织和相关利益方合作,并确保学生有足够的机会获取职业资源,以获得有效的职业指导:这些研究结果对于寻求改善高中生教育经历的专业人士和政策制定者来说是一个宝贵的资源,为未来研究职业咨询这一动态领域的学者提供了一个框架。

Emotional intelligence predicting subject-specific academic success: EQ-i Youth in South Africa 情商预测特定学科的学业成功:南非青年的 EQ-i
Pub Date : 2024-07-16 DOI: 10.4102/ajcd.v6i1.114

Background: Academic performance has been perceived as an element, which can change the lives of youth, while emotional intelligence (EI) often relates to adolescents’ well-being and, in turn, can influence academic performance. Emotional intelligence development is related to multiple beneficial outcomes and deemed a valuable tool for educational and career planning. However, there is a need for more EI-related guidance in youth interventions.Objectives: To inform such guidance, this is the first study that aimed to confirm the relationship between the academic results of South African adolescents and EI (measured using an updated assessment and newer EI model). It also aimed to determine whether specific EI scales were dominant predictors of subject-specific academic results.Methods: A quantitative research study was conducted following a non-experimental, correlational research design and stratified random sampling method. The study was conducted in secondary schools across South Africa. Academic results and EI scores of 284 adolescents between 13 and 19 years were available for correlational and regression-based dominance analysis techniques.Results: Results confirmed a significant positive relationship between total EI scores and academic year averages. Prominent findings included the decision making composite, which had the strongest relationship with and was the most dominant predictor of most compulsory subject averages.Conclusion: The results point to the importance of considering learners’ EI as a contributing aspect to their school performance, by incorporating learner-tailored EI testing and development at a school level.Contribution: Findings contribute to the criterion validity of the EQ-i Youth assessment and can guide teaching and career guidance initiatives in incorporating tailored EI strategies for learner development.
背景:学业成绩一直被认为是能够改变青少年生活的一个要素,而情商(EI)通常与青少年的幸福感有关,反过来也会影响学业成绩。情商的发展与多种有益的结果有关,被认为是教育和职业规划的重要工具。然而,在青少年干预中需要更多与情商相关的指导:为了给此类指导提供信息,本研究首次确认了南非青少年的学习成绩与情商(使用最新的评估方法和较新的情商模型进行测量)之间的关系。研究还旨在确定特定的情绪、情感和态度量表是否是预测特定学科学习成绩的主要因素:采用非实验、相关研究设计和分层随机抽样方法进行了一项定量研究。研究在南非各地的中学进行。对 284 名 13 至 19 岁青少年的学业成绩和情感、态度和价值观得分进行了相关分析和基于回归的优势分析:结果:结果证实,EI 总分与学年平均分之间存在明显的正相关关系。突出的发现包括决策综合能力,它与大多数必修科目平均分的关系最密切,也是最主要的预测因素:结论:研究结果表明,通过在学校层面开展针对学习者的情商测试和发展,将学习者的情商视为影响其学业成绩的一个重要方面具有重要意义:贡献:研究结果有助于提高青少年情商测评的标准有效性,并可指导教学和职业指导活动,为学生的发展提供量身定制的情商策略。

Background: Institutions of higher education are hubs for student-athletes pursuing dual careers, in sports and higher education. The concepts of dual careers, transition models and support systems for student sports provide the conceptual framework for this study.Objectives: The study investigated the dual sports career experiences of South African track and field student-athletes who studied at universities in South Africa and the United States of America (USA). Objectives determined satisfaction in terms of student-athlete support systems in their chosen localities.Method: This qualitative study used a purposive sample of 12 participants from a general population of South African junior track and field athletes who pursued dual careers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews.Results: The respondents found the US National Association Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sports system superior to the South African sports system. The dual-career student-athletes transitioning through the last two stages of the South African Long-Term Athlete Development model reported a lack of support that negatively impacted the success of their dual career balance.Conclusion: The South African context of student sport is not generally conducive to creating and enabling a dual sports–academic career environment because of insufficient contextual, processional and sports-specific factors. The participants perceived the NCAA system of student sport as holistic and supportive of their dual-career development.Contribution: This study adds to the limited pool of knowledge relating to the dual-career development of student-athletes, and provides a base line for future research studies.
背景:高等院校是学生运动员从事体育和高等教育双重职业的枢纽。双重职业、过渡模式和学生体育支持系统等概念为本研究提供了概念框架:本研究调查了在南非和美利坚合众国(美国)大学学习的南非田径运动员的双重体育职业经历。目标:确定学生运动员在所选地区的支持系统方面的满意度:这项定性研究从南非从事双重职业的青少年田径运动员中抽取了 12 名参与者。通过半结构化访谈收集数据:受访者认为美国全国大学生体育协会(NCAA)的体育系统优于南非的体育系统。通过南非长期运动员发展模式的最后两个阶段过渡的双职业学生运动员报告称,缺乏支持对其双职业平衡的成功产生了负面影响:结论:南非的学生体育环境总体上不利于创造和促成体育-学术双职业环境,原因在于环境、过程和体育特定因素不足。参与者认为国家大学生体育协会的学生体育系统是全面的,支持他们的双重职业发展:本研究为有关学生运动员双职业发展的有限知识库增添了新的内容,并为今后的研究提供了基础。

The participants perceived the NCAA system of student sport as holistic and supportive of their dual-career development.Contribution: This study adds to the limited pool of knowledge relating to the dual-career development of student-athletes, and provides a base line for future research studies.
背景:高等院校是学生运动员从事体育和高等教育双重职业的枢纽。双重职业、过渡模式和学生体育支持系统等概念为本研究提供了概念框架:本研究调查了在南非和美利坚合众国(美国)大学学习的南非田径运动员的双重体育职业经历。目标:确定学生运动员在所选地区的支持系统方面的满意度:这项定性研究从南非从事双重职业的青少年田径运动员中抽取了 12 名参与者。通过半结构化访谈收集数据:受访者认为美国全国大学生体育协会(NCAA)的体育系统优于南非的体育系统。通过南非长期运动员发展模式的最后两个阶段过渡的双职业学生运动员报告称,缺乏支持对其双职业平衡的成功产生了负面影响:结论:南非的学生体育环境总体上不利于创造和促成体育-学术双职业环境,原因在于环境、过程和体育特定因素不足。参与者认为国家大学生体育协会的学生体育系统是全面的,支持他们的双重职业发展:本研究为有关学生运动员双职业发展的有限知识库增添了新的内容,并为今后的研究提供了基础。
