Full textAlthough there are several achievements made by the Namibian government after independence, there are still many constraints and challenges facing the education system, particularly with regard to novice teachers&rsquo
support and professional development. Most novice teachers are coming into the teaching profession and receive little or no assistance. Nevertheless, novice teachers are expected to perform the full teaching responsibilities despite their inexperience. Novice teachers are expected to formulate their own coping strategies and to grapple with the challenges they encounter during their first year of teaching on their own. This study aims at investigating the coping mechanisms used by novice teachers to achieve their teaching goals during their first year of teaching. The study recommends that the teacher training institutions, the Ministry of Education and schools have an important role to play in facilitating the use of effective coping mechanisms and in assisting novice teachers in alleviating these challenges. Teacher training should ensure that a balance is maintained between theory and practice. In addition the Ministry needs to provide favourable working conditions and put up support systems for novice teachers. Schools should also provide orientation to all novice teachers and most especially render support to all novice teachers until they are fully integrated into the school and teaching culture.

Full texthe Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic continue to endanger the lives of many people in the world, particularly in developing countries like South Africa (UNAIDS, 2010).  
South Africa has the largest percentage of people living with HIV &
AIDS in the world, with  
AIDS continuing to be the leading cause of death (UNAIDS, 2010). Yet, as Svenson et al.,  
(1997), 
Cain, (2005), Shisana et al., (2009) and Kalichman et al., (2005) argue, in spite of the HIV epidemic, risky sexual behaviour has increased among young people. Problematically, youth in university environments are reported to be uninterested in hearing about HIV, claiming to be tired and bored with the subject (HEAIDS, 2010). They think they have sufficient knowledge on HIV transmission and prevention. Regardless of this claim, a high rate of new infections of HIV among youth continues (The South African Department of Basic Education Report, 2010). The main purpose of this study was to assess UWC students&rsquo
knowledge about HIV and their attitudes towards it, while investigating the impact of the MTV-produced Shuga film on the students&rsquo
self-perception of risk and their attitudes toward HIV. The study assesses the value of a follow-up conversation on the film after it is viewed by students. n order to identify respondents&rsquo
perceptions, the study used a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions as main instruments and a quantitative approach using questionnaires as a main instrument. The study used a gender-balanced convenience sample of 40 undergraduate and post-graduate students selected from University of Western Cape campus. These respondents were later divided into four focus group discussions guided by semi-structured interviews. The study findings established that although students&rsquo
knowledge levels were very high for modes of transmission and prevention of HIV, they still had a poor perception of their own risk - a factor noted as a key need in HIV prevention by Douglas Kirby (2011). his study found that, prior to watching the MTV Shuga film, the level of students&rsquo
awareness of HIV issues as related to their own risk and health was at best inconsistent. While some held accurate knowledge of HIV and understood their own vulnerability, others saw it as someone else&rsquo
s problem and had yet to personalise the disease in a manner that would increase their own awareness of risk. After viewing the MTV Shuga film, study data indicated a reasonable level of positive change in attitudes and risk perception among the 40 students. However, the data clearly indicated that the follow-up discussion sessions provoked more change in the students&rsquo
attitudes and perceptions of risk than the film on its own. The study therefore suggests the importance of discussion sessions that follow up on edutainment media pieces attempting to promote positive ehavioural change vis-à
-vis HIV. While the study did not focus in depth on why the follow-up discussion sessions had a higher impact than film-viewing alone, the discussion sessions allowed students to personalise the content of the Shuga film, sharing with each other how they identified with various characters, situations and beha 
viours. Shuga became &lsquo
real&rsquo
through the personal discussions between students, and the film&rsquo
 
s intent to prompt positive change was further supported.

Full textMany researchers and clinicians are skeptical towards the validity of self-reported assessment used within a forensic population (Gendreau, Irvine, & Knight, 1973), especially when used within a sexual offender population (Marshall & Hall, 1995). The sensitivity of the topics addressed as well as the transparency of the questions expose the evaluator to possible dissimulations or distortions in the subject responses (Tierney & McCabe, 2001). Responses of 282 sexual offenders who completed the Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression (MIDSA) were analyzed in order to understand the interaction between response time, social desirability scales and Rasch person-fit scores in order to account for response distortion. The convergence of latency times and social desirability scales seems to indicate that certain participants consciously manipulate their responses. Notably, participants detected by social desirability scales seem to respond more slowly to particular items. Other participants may answer in ways that are incoherent with the predicted responses according to the Rasch model. Hypotheses as to potential mechanisms underlying this process will be discussed.

Full textThe main concern of this dissertation is how the care for the self can hold a denial, this is, how it can become self-denial, in the sense of the ethical scope of St. Paul’s Epistles. More precisely, this research aims at establishing ethical categories that may reveal care and denial on a first stage and then proving if the way in which both these concepts intertwine can shape a paradoxical connection between them. The ethical journey starts off by a concise study of the phenomena of the everyday experience of facts, trying to identify in them signs of care for the self and of self-denial, that will not probably be solid enough to base a system of ethics on. After that, it will be shown that ethics and religion, each using its own means of categorization, have a role in that experience to lead it into clarity, changing it into other ranges of meaning. It is the religious experience (of Christianity in particular) above all, that seems to be more powerful to overcome the apparent inconsistencies of the care for the self, dissolve the break-down of the everyday experience of facts and redeem man from the loss of the meaning of existence, as well. The identification of the particularity of the Christian experience will contribute to a better understanding of the specific nature of St. Paul’s epistolary writings. It will be from a talk addressed to Christian communities - in which the author expresses on one hand, the tragedy of the human existence, and on the other commits himself deeply into contributing for the human being to surrender to the activism by the announcement of Jesus Christ dead and resurrected – that we will be able to identify the ethical categories that shape the relationship between the search for everything that grants the authentic and ever-lasting care for the self and the need to renounce all that limits or stops that search. Thus, the connections between care for the self and: knowledge and merit, ethical virtues (prudence and character), care for others; similarly, the connections between self-denial and: immorality and sin, legality, bondage/slavery, dying, will be analysed. The dialectical connection that will arise will show how each category may be viewed as the opposite of another, so somewhat of a circularity of concepts can not be avoided. All categories meet in the dare of accepting moving on from the worldliness to the identification of the human with Jesus Christ. So, it is a matter of showing the need for denial as a condition of the care for the self, including self-denial, represented in dying, which expresses the paradox that the true autonomy of man lies in a peculiar heteronomy: the more man identifies with Jesus Christ, the more human he is. So, the notion arises that the ethical basis for acting is before all taken by excess: the ethical interpretation here in adopted, places the reason for acting on a transcendental personalization: acting is led and justified not by a universal, abstract principle, but by the very person.

Full textThis research was aimed at giving a voice to three women, who are constructed as having had a traumatic event recalled from their autobiographical memory. To achieve this objective an epistemological framework of social constructionism was used to investigate autobiographical memory recall of trauma. Three in-depth interviews were conducted with participants who constructed themselves as having had a traumatic event. A case study approach was used to gain access to the information and to compare themes. The research explored the way in which dissociation, voluntary thought suppression, minimisation and outright denial enabled the three participants to alter unbearable memories through the use of recurring themes. To interpret these stories the content of the themes was analysed using thematic content analysis. The participants represented different cultures, languages and religions. In sharing their symptoms this did not necessarily mean they attached the same meaning to a specific theme, as individual meaning-making corresponded to the individual‟s background and history and their perception of the trauma. The stories related by the three participants revealed a shattered worldview that brought them into opposition with community norms and standards, which the narrators experienced as silencing and judgemental. In this regard the researcher‟s aim was to generate information from the participants themselves. This inquiry into the personal trauma stories and meanings suited a qualitative research approach, a form of methodology that allowed personal insight into the meanings the three participants attributed to their trauma and the autobiographical recall of trauma. At the same time it allowed a co-constructed reality to take shape between the researcher‟s reality and the participant‟s reality, always acknowledging the importance of their being the expert of their own individual trauma memory. This is in contrast to a quantitative approach which focuses on numbers to quantify the results; a qualitative approach on the other hand is a personal, rich information-gathering tool that takes into account the emotions and meaning-making of each individual story without any intention to generalise the information gathered to a larger population It is hoped that through this research there is a realisation that although trauma victims share symptoms, the meaning-making of the individual attached to this trauma is influenced by their society and history within their respective environments.

Vigs is 'n "sluipende moordenaar "_ Dit toon geen respek vir kultuur, status,ouderdom of geslag nie. Vigs veroorsaak 'n onnnatuurlike dood wat vriende en familie bedreig en vervreem, lank na die dood van die vigsslagoffer. Die navorsingsdoel van hierdie studie was om riglyne daar te stel vir die psigoterapeutiese hantering van die vigslyer en sy gesin. Die navorsing het getoon dat 'n stigma en skuldgevoelens rondom die vigslyer en sy gesin ontstaan het, en dat hulle direk verantwoordelik gehou word vir die siekte bloot omdat hulle betrokke is by mekaar. 'n Vraelys wat aspekte (soos dit uit die literatuurstudie geblyk het) inkorporeer, is opgestel en aan die vigslyer en sy gesin gegee om te voltooi. Van die belangrikste elemente wat na vore gekom het, is die vrees vir die onbekende, die stigma verbonde aan die siekte en die pad wat die siekte loop ten opsigte van naiwiteit en valse gerugte ten opsigte van die siekte. 'n Verdere hoofstuk fokus op die literatuur om die hoofaspekte van die probleem vas le stel, en sodoende riglyne vir 'n terapieprogram daar te stel om die vrese te onderskep en die familie te help om die siekte beter te begryp_ Die doel is om die samelewing te laat begryp dat vigs nie 'n kulturele of "klas" siekte is nie, maar dat dit alle lae van die samelewing kan tref. 'n Afdeling is gewy aan 'n wye verskeidenheid terapeutiese tegnieke wat geimplimenteer kan word tydens hulpverlening aan die vigslyer en sy gesinslede. Verder verskaf hierdie studie ook riglyne om ondersteuning en hulp aan die vigslyer en sy gesin te bied, om sodoende hulle selfkonsep te verbeter.
Aids is a "stalking killer''. It has no respect for culture, breeding, age or sex. It is an unnatural death which offends and alienates many friends and family, even after the victim has died. A questionnaire incorporating important aspects of the cause and effect of aids was compiled and given to the aids sufferers and family to complete. From the responses it was clearly evident that the fears of the unknown, the stigma attached to the victim's close associates and family, was a problem, and the route course of incredible naive and false rumours. A chapter of the research focused on literature to establish what was the major aspects of the problem expressed by the media. Guidelines were provided whereby therapy could address and allay these fears to assist the family to better understand the illness and it's effects. This chapter has in mind to provide the Psychologist with guidelines to provide therapy to both the victim and the family in this regard. This study confirms that the survivors are the actual victims.
