Popular discourse identifies education as the cure for many of society’s ills. However, surviving university is often seen as a period in which students face a unique array of challenges. Many students begin their tertiary education as holistically-well individuals, but due to the stressors related to University, students often show incremental signs of psychological, physical and emotional distress. These often lead to a decrease in academic competence and severe professional ramifications. The aim of this study was to identify design principles and explore the perceptions of professionals concerning possible implementation strategies that could be suitable for Higher Educational Institutions, particularly Health Science and Medical School students. A qualitative, three-phase multi-approach design was used in this study. Phase one was conducted by means of an explorative desktop literature review, there after phase 2 included a self-management, self-coaching and appreciative coaching concept map, that was aligned to concepts within the current individual wellness literature and in phase 3, Appreciative Inquiry based focus group discussions were held with various professional in the field of coaching, education, and healthcare. Wellness programmes are impacted by the fact that Higher Education Institutions face unique challenges such as time, financial constraints, and an already overloaded curriculum. Five design principles were described, and various implementation strategies explored. There is a fundamental necessity to address the distortion of wellness within HE. A key finding in this study suggests that combining self-coaching, appreciative coaching and self-management principles could facilitate a successful individual wellness programme for higher educational students.
大众话语认为教育是治疗许多社会弊病的良方。然而,大学生存通常被视为学生面临一系列独特挑战的时期。许多学生开始他们的高等教育是作为一个整体良好的个体,但由于与大学有关的压力源,学生经常表现出心理、身体和情感上的压力。这通常会导致学术能力的下降和严重的职业后果。本研究的目的是确定设计原则,并探讨专业人员对可能适用于高等教育机构,特别是健康科学和医学院学生的实施策略的看法。本研究采用定性、三相多方法设计。第一阶段是通过探索性桌面文献综述进行的,第二阶段包括自我管理、自我指导和欣赏教练概念图,这与当前个人健康文献中的概念相一致,在第三阶段,基于欣赏询问的焦点小组讨论与教练、教育和医疗保健领域的各种专业人士进行了讨论。高等教育机构面临着独特的挑战,如时间、资金限制和已经超负荷的课程,这对健康项目产生了影响。描述了五个设计原则,并探讨了各种实现策略。从根本上讲,有必要解决高等教育内部的健康扭曲问题。本研究的一项重要发现表明,结合自我指导、欣赏指导和自我管理原则,可以促进高等教育学生个人健康计划的成功实施。

Background: The reconfiguration of the South African higher education landscape in 2003 and 2004 had a significant impact on the University of South Africa (UNISA) and Technikon SA (both distance education institutions) which merged to form the ‘new’ UNISA. Aim: The aim of this conceptual study is to explore the extent to which the policies of the post-merger UNISA are enablers or inhibitors of efforts to reduce its Scope 3 carbon emissions. Setting: Staff commuter patterns between the main campuses of UNISA and the policy environment that has an impact on such travel. Methods: The aim is achieved by means of a case study methodology that considers the relevant policies of the university and applicable results of a 2018 UNISA staff travel demand survey to determine whether the policies are incongruous with the institution’s attempts to reduce its carbon footprint in general, and its Scope 3 carbon emissions in particular. The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on defining a ‘new normal’ for the university’s operations, and the impact thereof on staff commuting, have been discussed. Results: The study revealed that despite being an Open Distance E-Learning (ODeL) institution, the university has not put a coherent policy framework in place that undeniably supports its efforts to limit or reduce its Scope 3 carbon emissions. This was brought into stark focus by the measures the university was forced to put in place as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown regulations in South Africa, to ensure the continuation of its business. Conclusion: The conclusions will assist UNISA - and other universities which have had to revisit their operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic - to define a true ‘new normal’.
背景:2003年和2004年南非高等教育格局的重组对南非大学(UNISA)和Technikon SA(均为远程教育机构)产生了重大影响,这两所大学合并成立了“新的”UNISA。目的:本概念研究的目的是探索合并后UNISA的政策在多大程度上促进或阻碍了减少其范围3碳排放的努力。环境:UNISA主校区之间的员工通勤模式和对此类旅行产生影响的政策环境。方法:通过案例研究方法实现这一目标,该方法考虑了大学的相关政策和2018年UNISA员工旅行需求调查的适用结果,以确定这些政策是否与该机构减少碳足迹的总体努力不一致,尤其是其范围3的碳排放。讨论了2019冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行对定义大学运营“新常态”的影响,以及其对员工通勤的影响。结果:研究表明,尽管该大学是一所开放远程电子学习(ODeL)机构,但它并没有制定一个连贯的政策框架,不可否认地支持其限制或减少范围3碳排放的努力。由于南非新冠肺炎封锁规定,该大学被迫采取措施,以确保其业务的持续,这一点成为人们关注的焦点。结论:这些结论将有助于UNISA和其他因新冠肺炎大流行而不得不重新审视其运营的大学定义真正的“新常态”。

Entrepreneurship is playing a mediating role in ensuring that the impact of climate and technological changes are regulated and made adaptable and adoptable for humanity through entrepreneurial innovations. In this article, a critical discourse analysis is conducted to establish the facts regarding the influential relationships affecting entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and business productivity for small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in the information and communications industry in Zimbabwe. An exploratory quantitative methodology using a positivist approach was applied to reinforce the independence of the researcher and to eliminate bias in the exploration of the orientations. Data were collected from 308 entrepreneurial entities located in different parts of the Harare urban zones, which were randomly sampled. One of the major findings of this research points conspicuously to the inevitability of EOs. Accordingly, it is recommended that enterprise regulators, legislators and the state should emphasise the inclusion of EO in the existing body of knowledge, and support telecommunications business practitioners to make significant decisions on strategic risk management when conducting strategic formulation and implementation.
企业家精神正在发挥调解作用,确保通过企业创新调节气候和技术变化的影响,使其适应和适用于人类。在本文中,进行了批判性话语分析,以建立有关影响创业取向(EO)和企业生产力的影响关系的事实,中小微企业(SMMEs)在津巴布韦的信息和通信行业。采用实证主义方法的探索性定量方法加强了研究人员的独立性,并消除了取向探索中的偏见。数据收集自哈拉雷市区不同地区的308个企业实体,这些实体是随机抽样的。这项研究的一个主要发现明显地指出了EOs的必然性。因此,建议企业监管机构、立法机构和国家应强调将战略风险管理纳入现有知识体系,并支持电信业务从业者在进行战略制定和实施时就战略风险管理做出重大决策。

Adaptation is a key component for fostering resilience amongst farmers as they are exposed to the challenges caused by climate change. However, the implementation of adaptation strategies is not equal or easy for most farming communities and are influenced by a diverse range of socio-economic constraints. In this context, the study intended to explore the factors constraining the implementation of climate change adaptation strategies amongst commercial and subsistence farmers of the Local Municipality in the North West province, South Africa. An exploratory sequential mixed method design was used, allowing the utilisation of both qualitative and quantitative methods in a single study. A total of 50 farmers (25 farmers from each group) were identified through purposive homogeneous sampling and were given a questionnaire consisting of semi-structured and structured questions. The study established that some of the most prominent factors constraining adaptation amongst farmers in the Local Municipality are related to their physical environment, lack of market access, financial constraints and limited access to established social networks (such as farmers associations). Identifying barriers to adaptation through area-specific research or studies, such as this particular study, is crucial for the development of holistic climate change adaptation strategies that will allow sustainability in diverse agricultural systems.
适应是培养农民抵御气候变化挑战的关键组成部分。然而,对大多数农业社区来说,实施适应战略并不平等或容易,而且受到各种社会经济制约因素的影响。在此背景下,本研究旨在探讨制约南非西北省地方政府商业和自给农民实施气候变化适应战略的因素。采用探索性顺序混合方法设计,允许在单个研究中使用定性和定量方法。通过有目的的同质抽样,共确定了50名农民(每组25名农民),并向他们发放了一份由半结构化和结构化问题组成的问卷。该研究表明,制约当地农民适应的一些最突出因素与他们的物理环境、缺乏市场准入、资金限制和有限的社会网络(如农民协会)有关。通过特定领域的研究或研究,如本项特定研究,确定适应障碍,对于制定全面的气候变化适应战略至关重要,这将使不同农业系统具有可持续性。

Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) was implemented in South African schools in the year 2000 as part of the subject Life Orientation, with the aim of contributing positively to adolescent sexual health in a holistic manner. Continued high rate of teenage pregnancy and HIV infection is an indication; however, that the programme is not entirely successful. To establish why the aims of the programme and the consequences of learners’ sexual behaviour do not correspond, this systematic review aimed to determine how the programme contributes to the sexual health of adolescents and to make recommendations for its improvement. Nine databases were searched, after which two reviewers independently evaluated the methodological quality of the identified studies using an appraisal tool. The 22 articles that met the criteria for final inclusion were qualitative in nature and included cross-sectional and cohort studies. Results indicate that the contribution of the CSE programme is reflected in teachers, learners and the curriculum. Teachers are in need of expert training and learners are neither actively involved in the learning process nor the development of the programme as they need and would like to be. Recommendations include the development of context-specific training curricula for pre- and in-service teachers as developed collaboratively by various experts and stakeholders. Learners’ voices, active involvement, cultural context and needs are fundamental to the development and delivery of CSE. The teaching method and content of sexuality education should meet the contemporary needs of the 21st century adolescent to ensure optimal sexual health.
2000年,作为“生活取向”课程的一部分,在南非的学校实施了全面的性教育,目的是以整体的方式积极促进青少年的性健康。少女怀孕和艾滋病毒感染率居高不下就是一个迹象;然而,该计划并不完全成功。为了确定为什么该计划的目标和学习者的性行为的后果不一致,本系统审查旨在确定该计划如何促进青少年的性健康,并提出改进建议。检索了9个数据库,之后两名审稿人使用评估工具独立评估已确定研究的方法学质量。符合最终纳入标准的22篇文章本质上是定性的,包括横断面和队列研究。结果表明,CSE项目的贡献体现在教师、学习者和课程中。教师需要专业培训,而学习者既没有积极参与学习过程,也没有像他们需要和希望的那样参与课程的发展。建议包括由各专家和利益攸关方合作制定针对职前和在职教师的具体情况培训课程。学习者的声音、积极参与、文化背景和需求是CSE发展和交付的基础。性教育的教学方法和内容应符合21世纪青少年的时代需求,以确保最佳的性健康。

Courageous conversations in the Life Orientation classroom and teacher vulnerability 面向生活课堂的大胆对话与教师的脆弱性
IF 0.3 Q4 SOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2021-11-04 DOI: 10.4102/td.v17i1.1097

The Independent Education Board (IEB) introduced the need to facilitate critical conversations on controversial topics in the Life Orientation (LO) classroom at the National Conference in 2016. This shifted the focus of discussions to a facilitated critical narrative within IEB Subject Assessment Guidelines (SAGs) topics. This push followed youth activism against systemic racism at educational institutes, which initially created the perception that these conversations related to the socio-political status quo alone. However, the LO curriculum includes a range of topics that require critical narratives. Courageous conversations may trigger cognitive and emotional dissonance in both the teacher and learner. It is, therefore, crucial to interrogate the LO teachers’ lived experiences in facilitating courageous conversations. This study employed individual phenomenological interviews and a focus group discussion. The participants consisted of nine LO teachers from Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Western Cape and North West province. Each individual interview focused on determining the contexts and the phenomenon of their lived experience of courageous conversations and each participant’s agency in their private capacity as professional educators. The focus group discussion centred around establishing gaps in the motivation, training and skill development of LO teachers to facilitate these conversations. The findings indicate that the courage required of teachers to challenge and be challenged, albeit in a safe environment, results in teacher vulnerability.
独立教育委员会(IEB)在2016年的全国会议上提出,有必要促进在生活定向(LO)课堂上就有争议的话题进行批判性对话。这将讨论的重点转移到IEB受试者评估指南(SAG)主题中的批判性叙述上。这一举措是在教育机构反对系统性种族主义的青年激进主义之后进行的,最初人们认为这些对话只与社会政治现状有关。然而,LO课程包括一系列需要批判性叙述的主题。大胆的对话可能会引发教师和学习者的认知和情绪失调。因此,询问LO教师的生活经历对于促进勇敢的对话至关重要。这项研究采用了个体现象学访谈和焦点小组讨论。参与者包括来自豪登省、东开普省、西开普省和西北省的九名LO教师。每一次单独的采访都侧重于确定他们勇敢对话的生活经历的背景和现象,以及每个参与者作为专业教育工作者的私人身份。焦点小组讨论的重点是确定LO教师在动机、培训和技能发展方面的差距,以促进这些对话。研究结果表明,尽管在安全的环境中,教师挑战和被挑战所需的勇气会导致教师的脆弱性。

This study employed individual phenomenological interviews and a focus group discussion. The participants consisted of nine LO teachers from Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Western Cape and North West province. Each individual interview focused on determining the contexts and the phenomenon of their lived experience of courageous conversations and each participant’s agency in their private capacity as professional educators. The focus group discussion centred around establishing gaps in the motivation, training and skill development of LO teachers to facilitate these conversations. The findings indicate that the courage required of teachers to challenge and be challenged, albeit in a safe environment, results in teacher vulnerability.","PeriodicalId":43643,"journal":{"name":"TD-The Journal for Transdisciplinary Research in Southern Africa","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43203963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The advent of democracy in South Africa brought about many changes in the education system. Policies and frameworks that guide the embracement of refugee children were formulated and later implemented. However, there are ongoing challenges experienced by this group and the incidents of poor access and quality of provision experienced by a larger population of refugee children, calls for urgent redress.Aim: This is a theoretical article that examines and analyses the education access, school integration and participation of refugee children.Setting: Focusing on refugee children in a primary school in South Africa.Method: Empirical study articles and reviews carried out on the education and resettlement of refugee children in their host countries between 2005 till date were randomly selected for inclusion in our analysis. Our intention was to understand how the education for refugees is generally conceptualised and the extent to which their lived experiences are captured.Result: Using Gibson’s theory of affordances as a lens, this article analyses the relationship between the new school environment and refugee children and evaluates the possibilities of sustainable learning for all.Conclusion: We argue for an expansive access, including social and academic support interventions that are balanced in terms of promoting the individual child’s abilities and needs for optimal development.
背景:南非民主的到来给教育系统带来了许多变化。制定并后来执行了指导接纳难民儿童的政策和框架。然而,这一群体面临着不断的挑战,更多的难民儿童面临着难以获得和质量低下的问题,这些都需要紧急补救。目的:本文是一篇对难民儿童的教育机会、学校融合和参与进行考察和分析的理论文章。背景:关注南非一所小学的难民儿童。方法:随机选取2005年至今在收容国开展的关于难民儿童教育和安置的实证研究文章和综述纳入我们的分析。我们的目的是了解难民教育一般是如何概念化的,以及他们的生活经历在多大程度上被捕捉。结果:本文以吉布森的可得性理论为视角,分析了新的学校环境与难民儿童之间的关系,并评估了全民可持续学习的可能性。结论:我们主张扩大途径,包括社会和学术支持干预,在促进儿童个体能力和最佳发展需求方面是平衡的。
