s data record folders (SPDRF), athletics participation licenses, high school entrance exam result sheets, provided by the schools administrations. First of all descriptive statistics were used to define demographic variables of this study. Second, one-way analysis of variance (Tukey HSD) and t-test (Pearson correlation) were used to asses the relationship between demographic variables and interscholastic sports participation on grade point average, high school entrance exam scores, attendance rate and behavioural development of students. Third correlation coefficients were applied to indicate the relation between independent variables and interscholastic sports participation. Finally regression analysis was conducted to understand how well the independent variables predict the academic achievement and behavioural development levels. Results indicate that interscholastic sports participations have positive effects on grade point average, attendance rate, individual development and high school entrance exam scores. Moreover demographic variables of students such as family income, family size, parents education level, family configuration and interscholastic sports participation are the determinants of academic success, behavioral development level, attendance rate, and high school attendance exam scores.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The many and varied links between student socioeconomic status and educational outcomes have been well documented in the South African economics of education literature. The strong legacy of apartheid and the consequent correlation between education and wealth have meant that, generally speaking, poorer learners perform worse academically. The links between affluence and educational quality in South Africa can partially explain this outcome since the poor receive a far inferior quality of education when compared to their wealthier counterparts. This disadvantages them in the labourmarket and entrenches their poverty. This thesis uses the recent Southern and Eastern African Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ III) dataset for South Africa to answer three important questions: (1) Is South African primary education efficient? (2) Is South African primary education equitable? and (3) What are the main factors that have a significant effect on student mathematics and reading performance in Grade 6. The thesis shows that a high proportion of the country’s learners are functionally illiterate and functionally innumerate. The research confirms previous findings that socio-economic status, and particularly school socioeconomic status, is important when understanding student success or failure. Other factors which significantly affect student performance are homework frequency, grade repetition, and the availability of reading textbooks. In contrast, teacher-subject knowledge was found to have only a modest impact on Grade 6 performance. Policy interventions associated with the findings are also highlighted. The study concludes that South Africa is still a tale of two school sub-systems: one which is wealthy, functional and able to educate students, while the other is poor, dysfunctional, and unable to equip students with the necessary numeracy and literacy skills they should be acquiring in primary school. Finally, the thesis suggests that there are some options available to policy-makers which are expected to have a positive effect on learner performance.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vele en diverse verbande tussen studente se sosio-ekonomiese status en onderwysuitkomste is goed gedokumenteer in die Suid-Afrikaanse literatuur oor die ekonomie van onderwys. Die sterk nalatenskap van apartheid en die gevolglike korrelasie tussen onderwys en rykdom beteken dat armer leerlinge in die algemeen akademies swakker vaar. Die verband tussen welvaart en onderwysgehalte in Suid-Afrika kan hierdie uitkoms gedeeltelik verklaar, omdat arm mense ʼn veel swakker gehalte van onderwys ontvang as rykes. Dit plaas hulle in ʼn swakker posisie in die arbeidsmark en bevestig daarmee hulle armoede. Die tesis gebruik die onlangse SACMEQ III datastel vir Suid-Afrika (SACMEQ is die akroniem vir die Southern and Eastern African Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality) om drie belangrike vrae te beantwoord: (1) Is Suid-Afrikaanse primêre skole doeltreffend? (2) Is Suid-Afrikaanse primêre onderwys regverdig verdeel? (3) Wat is die belangrikste faktore wat studente se wiskunde en leesvermoë in Graad 6 beduidend beïnvloed? Die tesis toon dat ʼn groot proporsie van die land se leerlinge funksioneel ongeletterd en ongesyferd is. Die navorsing bevestig vorige bevindinge dat sosio-ekonomiese status, en veral die sosioekonomiese status van die skoolgemeenskap, ʼn belangrike bepaler van studente se sukses is. Ander faktore wat studente se prestasie beduidend beïnvloed is hoe gereeld hulle huiswerk doen, of hulle die graad herhaal, en die beskikbaarheid van handboeke. In teenstelling daarmee is bevind dat onderwysers se vakkennis net ʼn beskeie impak op Graad 6 prestasie het. Daar is ook klem op beleidsingrypings wat uit die bevindinge spruit. Die studie kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat Suid- Afrikaanse onderwys steeds die storie van twee sub-stelsels is: een wat ryk is, goed funksioneer en in staat is om studente ʼn goeie opvoeding te bied, terwyl skole in die ander deel van die stelsel arm is, wanfunksioneel, en die vermoë ontbreek om studente toe te rus met die syfer- en leesvaardighede wat skole hulle behoort te bied. Ten slotte identifiseer die tesis opsies vir beleidmakers wat leerlinge se prestasie sou kon verbeter.

Full textAfter two decades of democratic transition in South Africa, social exclusion continues to persist in the country. Research studies, thus far, have given little attention to the correlation between social exclusion and pre-tertiary education failures in South Africa, yet the two are closely linked. The objective of this study is to assess whether social exclusion is impacting pre-tertiary education success in South Africa, and as such perpetuating the social exclusion cycle for the poor in the country.

Full textPressure on children implies external forces making a compelling demand on their time and strength to comply with higher standards of excellence in the classroom and on the sports field. Modern society greatly admires competence and efficiency and places special emphasis on achievement, success and winning. As a result children I s education also reflects a tendency towards intense competition inside and outside the classroom. Several underlying causes are given for the pressure on children. Conflicting values and the expectations of parents and teachers are the most important causes which create a feeling of uncertainty inside the child. It is, therefore, essential for educators to reconsider their attitudes towards children. Pressure as a result of external forces often cause feelings of anxiety in children, affecting their learning abilities, creativity and personality development. In this regard the value of intrinsic motivation must be emphasized. This will enable a child to cope with failure and respond in a positive manner to the challenges of life. The role of competition in the lives of children must be appreciated and educators need to justify their actions on moral grounds. If competition helps the child towards self-fulfilment, promotes cooperation among people, creates equal opportunities for all, recognizes human dignity, sets realistic expectations and protects the individual's health, it can be regarded as healthy competition which can be instrumental in the upliftment of a child's self-image and self-confidence. A modular curriculum is often suggested as a solution for the problem of overloaded curricula which result in over structured lives where children have very little time for themselves. It is the intention of this study to create a greater understanding for the problem of increasing pressures on children in modern society.

Full textDie invloed van die persoonskonstruk, lokus van kontrole, op die akademiese prestasie van leerlinge in die senior sekondere skoolfase is aangespreek. Literatuur bevestig 'n verband tussen lokus van kontrole en akademiese prestasie. Interne kontrole word met hoe akademiese prestasie en verantwoordelikheidsaanvaarding geassosieer. Persoonlikheidskenmerke van intern of ekstern georienteerde leerlinge, die invloed van lokus van kontrole op persoonlike perspektief, selfkonsep en akademiese prestasie toon dat internes hulself as bekwaam, effektief en suksesvol beskou terwyl eksternes meer negatiewe persoonskenmerke beklemtoon. Die CNS-IE en IAR vraelyste is gebruik om algemene- en akademiese lokus van kontrole onderskeidelik te meet. Leerlinge wat akademies volgens vermoe presteer, behaal hoer interne tellings as die wat onderpresteer. Geen een-tot-een verwantskap tussen lokus van kontrole en akademiese prestasie is tydens die empiriese ondersoek gevind nie. Daar is dus ander faktore wat saam met lokus van kontrole die akademiese prestasie van senior sekondere leerlinge beinvloed.
The influence of the personality construct, locus of control, on the academic achievement of pupils in the senior secondary school phase was investigated. Literature confirms a relation between locus of control and academic achievement. Internal control is associated with high academic achievement and acceptance of responsibility. Personality characteristics of internals and externals, the influence of locus of control on personal perspective, self-concept and academic achievement shows that internals view themselves as capable, ef cient and succesful while externals emphasise more negative personality characteristics. The CNS IE and IAR were used to measure general and academic locus of control. Academic achievers obtained higher internal scores than underachievers on both questionnaires. The results of the Empirical research indicate that locus of control is not the sole determinant of academic achievement. Therefore, other factors in conjunction with locus of control influence academic achievement.

Full textSouth Africa has a long and troubled educational history, from pre-colonial education to the fall of apartheid, and eventually the acquisition of equal education for all (Christie, 2006). Many changes took place during this transitional period in the democracy and liberation of the New South Africa by means of pupil-centred classrooms, Curriculum 2005 (Taylor, 1995) and Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). Although numerous studies have been conducted internationally and in South Africa on underperforming in schools, the focus of this study is to ascertain the key elements of why learners underperform. The study’s aim is to determine the influence of a learner’s socio-economic situation on scholastic performance with references to nutrition, family structure, and parental support of learners in primary schools in Tshwane. In this full dissertation, the researcher found that most of the selected home environmental factors had no significant impact on the selected learners. It was, however, found (as many research already proved) that diet and sleep did have an influence on primary school learner academic performance. In presenting this argument, the theoretical framework, socio-constructivism learning theory, and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, were used, as socio-constructivism states that although biological factors are a requirement for basic development to emerge, socio-cultural factors are crucial for basic natural processes to develop. Vygotsky’s socio constructivism theory indicates the uniqueness of the social environment and regards socio-cultural background as the primary and determining factor in the development of higher forms of human mental activity such as voluntary attention, intentional memory, logical thought, planning, and problem solving. In conjunction with Vygotsky, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs sets the foundation for this study as it states that in order for a being to move to the next level, the lower level of needs, need to be satisfied first. The objectives of the study were: - to determine what the impact of selected home environment factors on primary school learners’ academic performance is. To determine the relationship between poverty, family structure, and scholastic performance; to determine the influence of the type of dwelling on scholastic performance; to determine the influence nutrition have on a learners’ scholastic performance; and to determine the influence sleep deprivation has on learners’ academic performance. The study used a quantitative approach, and the method included questionnaires that learners in Grade 5, Grade 6, and Grade 7 of the selected school completed anonymously. The study revealed that poverty, family structure, and dwelling type did not have a significant impact on the learners of the selected school. The study did however reveal and confirmed what various other researchers have already found that sleep and nutrition did have an influence on academic performance. It is recommended that specific guidelines should be provided to parents about economical lunchbox ideas. Parents should be supplied with lists of foods best to pack in lunchboxes and food that is not allowed. Schools should further monitor the food provided at tuck shops, as the food provided should be nutritious as well as sustain learners’ energy. Food high in saturated fats and sugar should not be allowed at school tuck shops. Children should also be educated about nutrition and better or alternative choices they can make. Lunches that are supplied as part of the school nutrition program should be monitored to ensure that it is nutritious, low in sodium, and that a variety of fruit and vegetables are included in the meal. Studies have concluded that children should sleep on average nine hours per night. Unfortunately, due to increase in academic pressure and work load, more learners go to bed later. It is therefore recommended that schools adhere to guidelines on the amount of homework given to learners daily. It is further recommended that parents should ensure that their children have a set routine regarding sleep patterns. The use of electronic equipment, such as television, computers, and cellular phones prior to sleeping time should be limited as it affects sleep. Surprisingly, this study has also revealed that some of the data supplied to the school by the parents or guardians and the data that was obtained from the learners did not correlate. It is therefore recommended that schools should be more scrupulous with learner performance data as it could be a possible indicator of household problems or the quality of education. If it is found that the decline is due to quality of education, the school management team should act immediately to assist the necessary educators with the necessary skills to enable better quality of education. A pro-active plan of action should be put in place by the school for those learners whose marks decreased. An educator could talk to the learner and the parents to try and determine the possible causes for the decrease in marks. Remedial classes or remedial exercises should be given to the learners to assist in the areas of need. In addition, if it is determined that the cause is due to home environment factors then necessary assistance should be provided either by the school or other entities.

Suid-Afrika het ’n lang en veelbewoë onderwysgeskiedenis, van voorkoloniale onderwys tot die val van apartheid en die uiteindelike bereiking van gelyke onderwys vir almal (Christie, 2006). Baie veranderinge het gedurende hierdie oorgangsperiode in die demokrasie en bevryding van die Nuwe Suid-Afrika plaasgevind deur middel van leerdergesentreerde klaskamers, Kurrikulum 2005 (Taylor, 1995) en die Kurrikulum- en Assesseringsbeleidsverklaring (KABV). Hoewel talle studies oor onderprestasie in skole internasionaal en in Suid-Afrika uitgevoer is, is die fokus van hierdie studie om die kernfaktore vas te stel wat tot onderprestasie van leerders lei. Die studie het ten doel om die invloed van ’n leerder se sosioëkonomiese situasie op skolastiese prestasie te bepaal met verwysing na voeding, gesinstruktuur en ouerondersteuning van leerders in primêre skole in Tshwane. In hierdie volledige proefskrif het die navorser bevind dat die meeste geselekteerde tuisomgewingfaktore geen beduidende uitwerking op die geselekteerde leerders gehad het nie. Daar is egter bevind (soos deur baie navorsers bewys is) dat dieet en slaap wel ʼn invloed op primêreskoolleerders se akademiese prestasie gehad het. In die aanbieding van hierdie argument is die teoretiese raamwerk, sosiaal-konstruktivistiese leerteorie en Maslow se behoeftehiërargie gebruik. Sosiaalkonstruktivisme bepaal dat, hoewel biologiese faktore ’n vereiste is sodat basiese ontwikkeling kan plaasvind, sosiaalkulturele faktore deurslaggewend vir die ontwikkeling van basiese natuurlike prosesse is. Vygotsky se teorie oor sosiaalkonstruktivisme dui op die uniekheid van die sosiale omgewing en beskou die sosiaalkulturele agtergrond as die primêre en bepalende faktor in die ontwikkeling van hoër vorms van menslike verstandelike aktiwiteit, soos vrywillige aandag, intensionele geheue, logiese denke, beplanning en probleemoplossing. Tesame met Vygotsky, maak Maslow se behoeftehiërargie die grondslag van hierdie studie uit, aangesien dit bepaal dat, ten einde na die volgende vlak te beweeg, ’n mens se laer vlak van behoeftes eers bevredig moet word. Die doelwitte van die studie was om die volgende te bepaal: watter uitwerking geselekteerde tuisomgewingfaktore op primêreskoolleerders se akademiese prestasie het; die verhouding tussen armoede, gesinstruktuur en skolastiese prestasie; die invloed van die tipe woning op skolastiese prestasie; die invloed wat voeding op ’n leerder se skolastiese prestasie het; en die invloed wat slaapontneming op ’n leerder se akademiese prestasie het. Die studie het ’n kwantitatiewe benadering gebruik, en die metode het vraelyste ingesluit wat leerders in Graad 5, Graad 6 en Graad 7 van die geselekteerde skool anoniem voltooi het. Die studie het aan die lig gebring dat armoede, gesinstruktuur en tipe woning nie ’n beduidende uitwerking op die leerders van die geselekteerde skool gehad het nie. Die studie het egter wel aan die lig gebring en bevestig wat verskeie ander navorsers reeds bevind het: dat slaap en voeding ʼn invloed op akademiese prestasie het. Daar word aanbeveel dat spesifieke riglyne oor ekonomiese kosblik-idees aan ouers verskaf moet word. Ouers behoort voorsien te word van lyste van die beste kossoorte om in kosblikke te pak, en kossoorte wat nie toegelaat word nie. Skole behoort voorts die kos te monitor wat by snoepwinkels te koop aangebied word, aangesien sodanige kos voedsaam moet wees en leerders se energie moet volhou. Kos wat ryk aan versadigde vette en suiker is, behoort nie by skoolsnoepwinkels toegelaat te word nie. Daarbenewens behoort kinders opgevoed te word oor voeding en beter of alternatiewe keuses wat hulle kan maak. Middagetes wat as deel van die skoolvoedingsprogram voorsien word, moet gemonitor word om te verseker dat hulle voedsaam en laag in sout is, en dat ’n verskeidenheid vrugte en groente by die maaltyd ingesluit word. Studies het tot die slotsom gekom dat kinders gemiddeld nege uur per nag behoort te slaap. Ongelukkig, weens ʼn toename in akademiese druk en werklading, gaan al hoe meer leerders later slaap. Daar word dus aanbeveel dat skole riglyne nakom rakende die hoeveelheid huiswerk wat daagliks aan leerders gegee word. Daar word verder aanbeveel dat ouers moet verseker dat hul kinders ’n vaste slaaproetine het. Die gebruik van elektroniese toerusting, soos televisie, rekenaars en selfone voor slaaptyd, behoort beperk te word omdat dit slaap beïnvloed. Dit is verrassend dat die studie ook aan die lig gebring het dat sommige van die data wat deur die ouers of voogde aan die skool verskaf is en die data wat van die leerders bekom is, nie ooreengestem het nie. Daar word dus aanbeveel dat skole meer nougeset met leerderprestasiedata moet omgaan, aangesien dit ’n moontlike aanwyser van huishoudelike probleme of die gehalte van onderwys kan wees. Indien daar bevind word dat die afname as gevolg van die gehalte van onderwys is, moet die skoolbestuurspan onmiddellik optree om opvoeders te help om die nodige vaardighede te verwerf om ’n beter gehalte onderwys moontlik te maak. Die skool behoort ’n proaktiewe plan van aksie in werking te stel vir daardie leerders wie se punte gedaal het. ʼn Opvoeder kan met die leerder en die ouers gesels en probeer vasstel wat die moontlike oorsake vir die daling in punte is. Remediërende klasse of remediërende oefeninge behoort aan die leerders gegee te word om met die behoefteareas te help. Daarbenewens, indien vasgestel word dat die oorsaak tuisomgewingfaktore is, behoort die nodige bystand gegee te word, hetsy deur die skool of ander entiteite.
