    Investigating opportunities for critical and integrated pedagogy and learning in visual arts :a case study of two Gauteng-based schools
    (2015-02) Sathekge, Gaisang
    This research project investigates secondary schooling Visual Arts programmes and the extent pedagogical approaches encourage critical and closely integrated learning. The research involves a case study between two secondary schools in Johannesburg - a comparison of two grade ten Visual Arts learning programmes - by investigating the content taught and the pedagogical approaches employed. By evaluating the content of the learning programmes and pedagogical approaches, I investigate whether, or to what extent, the learning programmes challenge hegemonic ideologies and encourage a learning approach that does not perpetuate biased and stereotyped views of culture but learning that critically integrates diversity and difference in the classroom in a manner that is relevant and meaningful to the learner.

    Improving the quality of matric learner performance in mathematics and science in Gauteng
    (2014-02-03) Ngobese, Constance Nompumelelo
    The foremost argument of this research is that the quality of matric learner performance in mathematics and science is poor. The objective of the research is to investigate the factors leading to poor performance in mathematics and science at matric level in Gauteng, South Africa. The research seeks to validate whether or not decision-making, policy and planning contribute to poor learner performance. Five documents addressing mathematics and science education matters were analyzed. Six candidates were interviewed to determine the causes of poor performance in mathematics and science at matric level in Gauteng and how the quality of learner performance could be improved. The findings confirmed that the quality of passes in mathematics and science is indeed poor and showed that the National Policy on Promotion and Progression Requirements Grades R-12 in particular contributes to this poor quality of learner performance. They also confirmed that poor decision-making at strategic level and poor planning are also contributors towards poor learner performance. Scenario planning, as a strategizing foresight tool, was employed to create the Gauteng scenarios for mathematics and science education in 2022. A recommendation is made that the GDE should use these scenarios as learning tools when preparing for the future and to improve their planning and decision-making processes.
