Princess Blose; Mishack T. Gumbo – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Education is critical in fostering sustainable development (SD) in a world that faces many environmental problems. The integration of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in technology education (TE) can enhance the realisation of SD goals. However, teachers' views on the integration of IKS in teaching technology towards education on sustainable…

Angela E. Stott; Monique Duvenhage – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Problem-based learning (PBL) has the potential to enhance both cognitive and affective engagement but has been criticised for being unsuitable for learners with low levels of knowledge and skills, such as South African learners from poor backgrounds. In such cases, guided problem-based learning (GPBL), which includes direct instruction and teacher…

Background: The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study of 2016 lays claim to the need for critical thinking to be developed since, in the South African context, 78% of learners could not even retrieve explicitly stated information (lower-order thinking) from texts, as opposed to 4% in the rest of the world. Critical, higher-order…

Duggan, Gregory Lawrence; Jarre, Astrid; Murray, Grant – Journal of Environmental Education, 2021
Access to science-based environmental education is critical to improve rural coastal communities' adaptive capacity and resilience. Based on research in two rural, underprivileged schools in South Africa's southern Cape coastal region, we describe the process and lessons learnt in developing and deploying a series of integrated teaching modules…

Condy, Janet L. – Reading & Writing: Journal of the Literacy Association of South Africa, 2023
Background: Although one of the most significant educational goals is to teach learners to comprehend written texts, the Global Education Monitoring Report (UNESCO 2021) identified that many children and adolescents have not acquired the minimum proficiency in reading even at the end of their secondary school career. South African literacy rates…

South African democracy was born in 1994 after years of oppression and dehumanisation. Through the implementation of Child Safeguarding Policies from 2012, deep unhappiness in schools was uncovered and the use of corporal punishment which was abolished in 1996 became apparent. Teachers were adamant that corporal punishment was the only means of…

Electronic service (e-service) learning has considerable potential to promote engagement and interactions between people by liberating spatial constraints. Due to the pandemic situation, ordinary face-to-face service learning was impossible, but there was an urgent need to support adolescent English learners in communities. In accordance with the…

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…
