Full textCurrently in South Africa most learners attend academic schools that offer general subjects such as History, Geography, Biology, Accountancy and so on. There are considerably fewer technical schools that can absorb those individuals who want to pursue an engineering trade career path. Academic schools are not equipped to provide for learners who want to pursue engineering trade careers. These learners either fall by the wayside by leaving school prematurely, or they continue at the school through to matric with subjects that are not linked to engineering careers. This study attempts to determine the knowledge, understanding, attitude and perception of the learners, parents, educators, principal, and the WCED with regard to this problem. It is intended through this study to make recommendations that will lead to meaningful interventions in an attempt to rectify the current situation. The findings indicate that learners do not have an understanding of engineering careers and are more inclined to choose the more traditional careers such as teacher, doctor, lawyer, nurse etc. Because their career options are limited, many learners are unsure of what careers to choose while others end up choosing careers that are not suited for them. The parents are not knowledgeable enough and do not possess the necessary skills to assist their children with their career choices. Teachers at academic schools themselves had an academic education. As a result they are not aware of engineering careers and are not empowered to advise the learners. The principal, who is also an academic, has to consider the implication of making learners aware of engineering careers, because this could lead to an exodus of students from the school. He is under pressure from the WCED to maintain the required teacher - student ratios. The findings indicate that the WCED has initiated various programs around careers, but nothing specific with regard to career awareness. It is evident that these programs have not filtered through to this school. The methodology for this research incorporated a multi-method approach with both quantitative and qualitative instruments used. Questionnaires were directed at learners, educators and the parents. Focus group sessions were conducted with the learners and educators and interviews were directed at the principal and the WCED official. The study concludes with recommendations drawn from international models.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the light of the political dispensation and the subsequent changes in Education, it has become imperative to offer every learner the best possible opportunities with regard to the curriculum. This would imply that every learner has to be equipped with skills and values which would enable him / her to enter the Labour market with confidence in order to realise his / her potential and to become a useful member of society. It should also be kept in mind that learners would be able to exit from the schooling system at an earlier stage, as education is compulsory only to the level of grade nine. This presupposes that learners will have to receive information on different types of school, subject choices and further training as early as grade seven. Research also proves that interest is the most important factor in the choice of a career. Previously, the Kodus was the only standardised measuring instrument used to determine fields of interest of learners in grade seven, and it was only standardised in relation to white learners. The need for a measuring instrument, which will include all race groups (white, black and coloured) seems to be a pressing one at the moment. The purpose of the investigation was to standardise the MB-IOon learners in grade seven. In the process, special attention had to be devoted to cross-cultural factors, gender, interest in different occupations as well as the permanence and stability of this interest. The investigation was conducted in two phases. Firstly, 710 learners from 10 different schools (urban / rural) were tested. Afterward, English and Afrikaans glossary were compiled to accommodate black learners whose mother tongue was not English, and to make provision for regional variants of Afrikaans. Secondly, an experimental group, consisting of 1923 learners from 26 schools (urban / rural), was tested; during this process the new glossary were used. The results of the experimental group were then processed statistically. From the investigation the following become evident: • an analysis of the fields and items indicates that there are 14 items in four fields with an unacceptably low reliability - an inspection of content indicated that this could be attributed mainly to a lack of knowledge of the meanings of words, poor word comprehension, a lack of exposure and the general unfamiliarity of the activity. • that there are no significant differences in the ten fields of interest between white, coloured and black learners; such differences do, however, exist between the sexes. • That an investigation of validity confirmed that the MB-lO indeed measures levels of interest. On the basis of the result of the investigation and statistical analysis, the compilation of separate norms for boys and girls in grade seven went ahead. According to Meyer (1998) it is not desirable to change a questionnaire which is generally reliable, as it will not necessarily lead to an improvement. In the light of this we recommend that the MB-lO be used unmodified for grade sevens, as well as the glossary. In the case of the 14 "problem items", learners must be referred back to the glossary specifically in order to check the meanings of words.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die lig van die nuwe staatkundige bedeling en gepaardgaande veranderings op onderwysgebied, het dit noodsaaklik geword om elke leerder die beste moontlike geleenthede tot die kurrikulum te bied. Dit impliseer dat elke leerder sodanig met kennis, vaardighede en waardes toegerus moet word om tot die wêreld van werk te kan toetree ten einde 'n nuttige landsburger te word. Hiermee saam moet ook in gedagte gehou word dat leerders die skoolsisteem vroeër kan verlaat deurdat hulle verpligte onderwys slegs tot graad nege salontvang. Dit bring mee dat leerders alreeds ten minste in graad sewe leiding moet ontvang in terme van skooltipe, vakkeuses en verdere opleiding. Navorsing het ook bevind dat belangstelling die belangrikste faktor by beroepskeuse is. Voorheen was die Kodus die enigste gestandaardiseerde meetmiddel om graad sewe leerders se belangstelling te meet, maar dit was net op die wit leerders gestandaardiseer. Die noodsaak aan 'n meetmiddel wat al die rasgroepe (wit, bruin, swart) sou insluit, blyk 'n groot behoefte te wees. Die doel van die onderhawige ondersoek was om die MB-lOop graad sewe leerders te standaardiseer. In die proses moes daar deeglik met veral die kruiskulturele aspekte soos taal, die verskille tussen die geslagte, die permanentheid en stabiliteit van die belangstelling en die ouderdom van die jong leerders rekening gehou word. Die ondersoek is tweeledig uitgevoer. Eerstens is 710 leerders by 10 skole (stad I platteland) getoets waarna 'n Afrikaanse woordelys sowel as 'n Engelse woordelys saamgestel is om veral swart leerders te akkommodeer wie se moedertaal nie Engels is nie asook om vir streeksvariante in Afrikaans voorsiening te maak. Tweedens is 'n eksperimentele groep, bestaande uit 1923 leerders by 26 skole (stad I platteland), getoets waartydens van die woordelyste soos uit die loodsondersoek saamgestel, gebruik gemaak is. Hierdie eksperimentele groep se resultate is toe statisties verwerk. Uit die ondersoek blyk die volgende: • 'n ontleding van die velde en items toon dat daar 14 items in vier velde is waarvan die betroubaarheid onaanvaarbaar laag is - 'n inhoudelike inspeksie het aangetoon dat dit hoofsaaklik aan gebrek aan woordbetekenis, swak woordbegrip, gebrek aan blootstelling en onbekendheid met die aktiwiteit toegeskryfkan word • dat daar nie beduidende verskille op die tien belangstellingsvelde tussen die rasse wat hulle belangstelling betref bestaan nie, maar dat daar slegs verskille tussen geslagte bestaan • dat die geldigheidsondersoek bevestig dat die MB-lO inderdaad belangstelling meet. Op grond van die ondersoek se resultate is toe voortgegaan om gesamentlike norms vir seuns (wit, bruin, swart) asook vir meisies (wit, bruin, swart) op te stel. Volgens Meyer (1998) is dit nie wenslik om 'n vraelys wat in die geheel betroubaar is, te verander nie omdat dit nie noodwendig tot 'n verbetering lei nie. In hierdie lig beskou, word daar aanbeveel dat die MB-lO onveranderd vir graad sewes saam met die woordelyste wat toegevoeg is, gebruik word. By die betrokke 14 "probleemitems" moet die leerders ook pertinent na die woordelys terug verwys word om die woordbetekenisse na te gaan.

Full textThe shift in the employability skills required by employers has meant that, over and above their qualifications, graduates now need to have a set of specific skills that will enable them to be productive in the workplace. The basis for this study stems from the hypothesis that the intense competition for employment among graduates has meant that prospective employers now have a say in the attributes that are needed for potential employment. It is now no longer adequate for graduates to have a qualification, but to have, over and above the degree, specific employability skills that will enable them to be productive in the workplace. This study investigates the employability skills of analytical chemistry graduates at a university of technology for potential employers in the Western Cape. This was determined through a mixed-method approach, using both qualitative and quantitative research, and conducted amongst employers of analytical chemistry graduates in the chemical, cosmetic, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. In order to investigate the relevance of the employability skills, the following questions were asked: a. What skills are employers of new analytical chemistry graduates looking for in potential employees? b. What are the skills that past and current employers of analytical chemistry students, and graduates from the university of technology under investigation, have identified as important in these students and graduates? c. Is there congruence between the skills required by potential employers and those demonstrated by analytical chemistry graduates from the university of technology under investigation? This study was the basis for a potential further investigation into the development of a curriculum that will enable students to acquire the skills required by industry.

Full textMany scholars in the social sciences, especially in the Hospitality industry have seen many changes over the years, based on research conducted in the workplace. Skills seem to be a popular research agenda. The literature is rich on how changes have occurred overtime in the hospitality industry workplace. With such a competitive environment this industry is functioning, it is important that entry level employees or current employees in the workplace possess a variety of non-technical skills. Once attained, these employees, will benefit the Hospitality industry, as happy clients / guests, will return, which will create a profitable workplace. It is vitally important that tertiary institutions pay specific attention to students and graduates, that they obtain non-technical skills, via co-operative education programmes, with a focus on the real employment world outside of education. This will equip them to find a job that could be satisfying and rewarding. Industry on the other hand should identify important non-technical skills and conduct on the job training, inducing such skills. The researcher found that the need for willingness to adapt and eagerness to learn was a consistent theme. The non-technical skills of communication, teamwork, initiative, problem solving and decision making were also highly valued. Respondents were dissatisfied with the quality of entry-level employees beginning their careers, especially graduates who lack non-technical skills. A need was seen for a long-term view of preparation of young people for work, beginning with parents and guardians, who should lay the foundations. Alongside them, educators should be fostering good attitudes and a love for learning, as well as lecturing verbal, numerical and other specific skills. Successful co-operative education programmes often could involve three key role-players, that of employers (managers / supervisors), students / graduates in this context and the tertiary institution they are studying at Technikon’s providing vocationally orientated co-operative education programmes, therefore need to continually examine what skills employers (managers / supervisors) consider to be important with regard to the skills required by students, entering the workplace. This research study revealed that there is a gap between the skills that students acquire in their formal studies and what employers (managers / supervisors) require. If this need is not recognised, the programmes, institution and students will suffer. The study is aimed at making a contribution towards co-operative education programmes in Hospitality and Tourism at technikons by identifying what non-technical skills the Border Technikon is not addressing. It was found that the skills not being adequately addressed fall in the non-technical skills category. The study identifies the non-technical skills required by employers (managers / supervisors) of Border Technikon Hospitality and Tourism students undertaking experiential learning.
