dc.description.abstract | The aim of the study was to ident-fy issues involved in the establishment of an ABET centre in a rural secondary school. A case study of two schools with ABET centres and one without an ABET centre as well as a community college was undertaken. The procedure involved gathering information on how ABET was established and how it is implemented in the two schools. Observations and unstructured interviews were carried out in the four institutions. The information which was gathered was analysed to identify themes related to the establishment of an ABET centre. Factors which were investigated in the four institutions included among others, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (herein referred to as swot-analysis, see Abbreviations, Acronyms and Terminology). All the stakeholders such as ABET practitioners and governing bodies were requested to, for example, list and explain factors of 'swot' which they were experiencing. The analysis of the information gathered was used to inform the ’ researcher what factors to consider in es'tXL ishing an ABET centre in a rural school,, A procedural model for the establishment of an ABET centre is proposed in this study. The proposed model can be used not only by the sale rural school alone, but by other schools both in the rural and urban areas wishing to establish ABET centres in future. The decision, to :ise the model will depend on the evaluation by ABET implementers. | en_ZA |
