Experiences of Early-Career Teachers in Inclusive Education: Lessons Learnt in South Africa for Teacher Training Programmes
Authors: Van der Rheede Lucia , Dreyer Lorna
Published: November 2024

Higher education institutions are increasingly challenged to prepare student teachers for a socially and culturally diverse learner population. Inclusive education is an international imperative but remains a contentious issue in education. Early career teachers enter the profession with passion and anticipation to transition from theory-based learning to practical implementation. However, they soon face many contextual challenges, especially in low socio-economic settings. This research investigates the experiences of early career Foundation Phase teachers in implementing learning support within low socio-economic schools. Using a qualitative, illustrative case study design grounded in social constructivist theory, data were collected from purposefully selected participants in the Western Cape through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Thematic content analysis revealed five key themes: 1) contextual factors, 2) teacher attitudes, 3) perceived lack of skills, 4) proactivity and reflection, and 5) external support needs. The findings indicate that despite the prioritization of inclusive education, early career teachers encounter numerous challenges that impede effective learning support. Their experiences highlight the gap between theoretical training and practical application, impacting their confidence and ability to implement learning support strategies. These insights are essential for adapting teacher training programs to better prepare future educators for the practical realities, particularly in low socio-economic contexts.

Published: November 2024

Globally, higher education remains a highly competitive environment, where striving towards good institutional reputation, as well as academic and research stature is high on the agendas. As such, research intelligence is fast becoming a topic of discussion. Measuring progress and success is a strategic and data-driven process. This paper reports on a collaborative autoethnographic study on a research capacity development project. It further explores the importance of the management of research towards creating, managing and utilising data-driven research intelligence in a private higher education institution in South Africa. Reflecting on this project, stretching over a five-year period, the study aims to shed light on further implementations by exploring how available data could translate into research intelligence. The study considers the role of research intelligence by comparing it to the strategic value of strategic and business intelligence. It explores how reliable research intelligence could inform and support strategies in developing a maturing academic environment, and how current and potential solutions could be applied for strategic decision making. The study adds knowledge to an under-researched area in higher education in South Africa. It offers recommendation for more effective management of research data and research intelligence.
A Reflection On How Universities Perform Against Criteria For Authentic Community Engagement
Authors: Swanzen Rika
Published: November 2024

Departing from the belief that academic community engagement (ACE) initiatives should result in impactful developmental outcomes that improve the livelihoods of vulnerable populations in society, this paper offers an evaluation of how authentically a sample of universities are meeting criteria depicting such authentic engagement. The specific focus will be on what is publicly available, since university rankings and membership to scientific committees are shared as part of presenting the university’s status, the study aims to determine if the engagement aspects are shared publicly as well. The intention of the institutions to publicly reflect their true civic impact in critical developmental areas is important to showcase the importance they attach to addressing societal challenges. The more criteria are addressed, the more likely the engagement activities will contribute to the targeted changes. Results from the evaluation will be shared with recommendations on how all higher education (HE) institutions can strengthen their impact through ACE. This will provide a departure point for measuring the return on investment of activities that at times are viewed as charity instead of the rigorous form of scholarship it has become.
Supervising Practice-Based Design Research: Business as (Un)usual? Work-in-Progress Part 1
Authors: Van Zyl Ria (HM)
Published: November 2024

Practice-based design research encompasses scholarly inquiry wherein design activities and processes are integral to scholarly research and postgraduate studies. The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) also recognises such research activity as credit-bearing 'creative output', but report a lack of rigour, especially in the communication design field, where no such submissions in the previous review cycle could be awarded. This work-in-progress paper starts with a theoretical exploration of the nature, complexity and potential of practice-based design research, with a specific lens on communication design. Existing literature underscores a myriad of challenges inherent in this space, including the quest for a unified language and theoretical frameworks, the identification of suitable methodologies and research designs, and concerns regarding scholarly rigour, transferability, and trustworthiness of findings. Nonetheless, practice-based research in design provides researchers and postgraduate students the potential to be innovative and to abductively harness the possibilities of design and design thinking in the research space. Embracing and developing practice-based design research as an acceptable paradigm might also encourage more postgraduate enrolment and success since it builds on skill sets that are more familiar to designers, might better align with the knowledge needs of industry, and might, in the end, build capacity for this type of research output. This work-in-progress paper forms a theoretical background for a future study to shed light on South African supervisors and students' challenges in this space. By exploring these challenges, this research will contribute insights to the field, enriching our understanding of the dynamics within practice-based design research and providing guidance and support for those in supervisory roles within this domain.
The Perceived Impact of Leadership Practices of Academic Leaders on Student Success in a Higher Education Institution in South Africa
Authors: Taylor Simon , Durholz Catherine
Published: November 2024

The research reported on in this paper was motivated by the need to investigate student complaints in the higher education sector in South Africa regarding the poor quality of teaching and learning which has resulted in low student success rates in many institutions in the country. To mitigate poor student success rates, higher educational institutions in South Africa need to consider implementing effective leadership practices of academic leaders to support students in their academic journey. This study identified how academic leaders   leadership practices are perceived by students in a higher education institution in South Africa, and to identify which leadership practices are more impactful in supporting student success. According to Hoadley, Christie and Ward (2009) and Hallinger (2011), leadership practices are indeed aligned to academic performance. Grajfoner (2024) suggests that effective academic leadership is a key contributor to attaining academic excellence. However, Bryman (2007: 14) asserts that “one of the key problems in Higher Education is that not enough is known about exactly what makes an effective leader and what, in turn, may make them ineffective”. The theoretical framework upon which the study is based was developed by Mukan, Hawryluk and Stolyarchuk (2015: 42), who suggest that “leadership is a derivative quality of people collaborating, co-operating and supporting each other. It is characterized by openness and is a dynamic, inclusive, collegial process that occurs in a particular context”. In this research, a quantitative study was conducted using a purposeful sample selected from the target population of students at a higher education institution in South Africa. The final sample included 78 undergraduate students from the selected institution. The analysis undertaken in the study revealed that perceived leadership practices of academic leaders do have an impact on student success and that student success is not based on any one element of leadership practice alone; instead there are various perceived dimensions of leadership practices that play a role in promoting student performance. The findings of the study highlighted three key leadership practices that impact on student success, namely engagement, support and communication.
A Social Realist Perspective in Urban Planning Curriculum Transformation for Sustainability Mainstreaming: Learning from the University of Johannesburg
Authors: Gumbo Trynos
Published: November 2024

Transforming higher education curricula has gained traction in the past few decades, particularly in post-colonial Africa. The discipline of urban planning has not been spared especially in the context of South Africa. Numerous efforts have been exerted to infuse several aspects that among others include locally contextualized curriculum, the fourth industrial revolution tenets and sustainable development principles. However, the extent to which sustainability values have been successfully mainstreamed to ensure transformative practices that promote students’ access and success remains an unchartered territory. Consequently, in this paper, I explored the experiences of the urban planning department at the University of Johannesburg in transforming its curricula. In the paper, literature on curriculum development and reform in South African Higher Education was distilled. I adopted a case study research design and a qualitative research approach to gather qualitative data through the application of positionality and documents analyses to reveal the extent to which social realism perspectives have shaped curriculum transformation in the departmental programme development and reviews. The results reveal that curriculum development and reviews within department of urban and regional planning is a complex and messy reality that is shaped by Margeret Archer’s structural, cultural and agential emergent powers and properties. This is very evident within the Master in Sustainable Urban Planning and Development (MSUPD), an interdisciplinary programme which enables and supports lifelong and blended learning in sustainable development education. It trains a variety of professionals who find solutions to complex urban sustainability challenges. In conclusion, I recommend that concerted efforts are need to strengthen and infuse sustainability orientations and building blocks of sustainability education that include societal, institutional, environmental and economic imperatives.
Building a Postgraduate Supervision Model for Student Success in South Africa: How Masters and Doctoral Students’ Experiences can Assist?
Authors: Madondo Mfazo Cliford
Published: November 2024

A critical gap exists in South African higher education research on postgraduate supervision models. Research emphasis is placed in administrative aspects over the supervision praxis for student throughput. This paper investigates an effective postgraduate supervision model in South Africa to enhance student success. The literature underscores the need for an approach that balances the teaching and the supervising of research. Supervision is a supportive and collaborative journey between the student and the supervisor. However, there are complexities of postgraduate supervision pedagogy that are hardly explored in South Africa - the quality of supervision, time-to-degree, throughput rates, and perceived organisational support. Therefore, inadequate understanding of the elements constitutes supervision relationships issues for masters and doctoral students. Current practice falls short of addressing supervision praxis which necessitated this study to explore a tailored model of supervision. Therefore, how can experiences of masters, doctoral candidates and graduates assist to explain and propose an optimal postgraduate research supervision model that best supports the student success rates in South African universities? As a constructivist designed study, a quantitative digital survey and a snowball sampling method were used targeting masters and doctoral candidates and graduates across private and public universities in South Africa. An online survey was designed and administered using Microsoft Forms to over 500 participants. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted measuring position in percentile rankings. Results elucidate the nature and main feature of postgraduate supervisory relationships in South Africa. We found that a postgraduate research supervision model can be tailored to the South African context, and we contribute to the development of postgraduate supervision model as pedagogical tool related to metacognitive strategies and humanising pedagogy for research supervisors and students.
Blended Learning Dependability and Perceived Usefulness: The Mediating Role of Organisational Commitment
Authors: Nkhukhu-Orlando Esther
Published: November 2024

To survive in the tight global higher education markets, universities must embrace new technological changes which can transform their education. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has become an integral part and a driver of the development agenda of many universities. Blended learning (BL), integrating face-to-face instruction with online components using Learning Management Systems (LMS), has emerged as a prominent educational model, offering flexibility and enhanced learning experiences in higher education settings. This study reports the adoption of BL among academics at the University of Botswana (UB) before the arrival of COVID-19. Even though technological changes such as BL are recognized as strategic tools used by many organizations, including universities, not much attention has been given to attitudinal behaviours such as Organizational Commitment (OC) despite their contribution to the successful technological adoption. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore the perceived usefulness of BL mediated by OC among academics at the UB. The study uses Socio- Technical Systems theory (STS), positing that instructors’ perceptions of the usefulness of blended learning are influenced by both individual factors and organizational contexts. The study adopted an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach, involving a quantitative phase in which data was collected using a questionnaire in an online survey, followed by a qualitative case study that involved semi-structured face-to-face interviews. A multiple regression model for determining the mediating role of OC was developed. In the mediation model, OC fully mediated the relationships between Learning Management System Dependability (LMSD) and Perceived Personal Usefulness (PPU) and Perceived Usefulness to Students (PUS). The study used SPSS for its quantitative data analysis and adopted thematic analysis for its qualitative strand as a comprehensive process that allows for identification of numerous cross-references between the data and the research’s evolving themes. The study contributes to the limited body of knowledge about the perceptions of BL of academic staff in a middle-income country, Botswana.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a shift in focus for graduate engineering students, demanding their swift integration into the workforce. The Engineering Council of South Africa now stipulates that institutions must cultivate specific graduate attributes, particularly in the face of rapid economic and social transformations. This mandate prompts universities to equip engineers with the skills needed to seamlessly adapt to scarce skill positions and emerging roles within diverse disciplines dictated by industry demands. The evolving landscape is shaped by emerging technologies impacting production, manufacturing, and service sectors. Consequently, engineering graduates must acquire skills that facilitate a smooth transition into roles that align with their expertise. The imperative for universities is to fulfill the core mission of engineering education: fostering professionals capable of developing future technology to address upcoming challenges and produce technologists adept at solving present issues using current technology. This study employs a qualitative research method to explain and explore the training of engineers, ensuring that graduates possess the requisite attributes for a successful transition into new occupational roles aligned with industry needs. The focus of the research centers on analyzing the teaching interventions implemented in Industrial Engineering undergraduate programs at a university of technology.

Authors: Rahmat Afiyah Mahdiyah , Noor Nur Nasry , Maria Ida Leida , Davies George
Published: November 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a global health challenge, with drug-resistant TB (TB-RO) posing significant risks to control efforts. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with TB-RO among patients at Labuang Baji Makassar Hospital, Indonesia. Conducted from September to October 2023, this analytical case-control study utilized a quantitative approach. Data were collected from the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) and hospital medical records, involving all TB-RO patients under treatment between 2022 and 2023. Total sampling yielded 105 cases, with analysis performed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. Results indicate that age (OR=2.509, CI 95%: 1.120–5.622; p=0.036), positive BTA sputum (OR=3.397, CI 95%: 1.630–7.082; p=0.001), and prior treatment history (OR=0.461, CI 95%: 0.254–0.837; p=0.016) are significant factors. Positive BTA sputum emerged as the dominant risk. Findings suggest that inadequate treatment adherence may contribute to TB-RO incidence. The study concludes that age and BTA phlegm are key risk factors, while a history of successful treatment is protective. Strengthening patient monitoring and ensuring treatment compliance are essential for mitigating TB-RO risk and improving outcomes.

Objetivo: Identificar las barreras de acceso a los servicios de salud de los usuarios asignados a la Clínica de Tenjo, mediante la consulta de medicina familiar.Metodología: Se realizó una investigación no experimental, transversal, de tipo descriptivo, usando un método de muestreo no probabilístico, usando entrevistas a pacientes asignados a la Institución Prestadora de Servicios (IPS)-Clínica de Tenjo por parte de un asegurador, que asistieron a consulta de medicina familiar, durante el 01 de febrero de 2022 hasta el 04 de abril del mismo año, técnica de recolección de datos fue encuesta y el instrumento fue cuestionario con procesamiento de estadística descriptiva.Resultados: Descripción sociodemográfica de la población asignada a la IPS, realización de 56 encuestas desde Medicina Familiar, posteriormente se documentaron las barreras de acceso dependientes a pacientes, las cuales no interfieren en el acceso. En las dependientes a la Clínica de Tenjo está: inadecuada transmisión de información sobre el funcionamiento de la IPS a los pacientes. En dependientes a otras IPS por remisiones: la principal barrera fue la demora para asignación de citas especializadas, promedio mayor a 10 días. Conclusiones: Se documentaron diferentes barreras de acceso al sistema de salud que limitan la realización de diagnósticos precoces y tratamientos oportunos en la población rural de Tenjo Cundinamarca.

Una de las materias que nutre el Derecho como ciencia generada por el mismo hombre para configurar los alcances y los límites de cada individuo dentro de una sociedad, de acuerdo a lo que hemos visto en nuestra condición de estudiantes de la universidad, es la Filosofía, y en este campo, la Filosofía del Derecho. Tal vez a unos nos atraiga más que a otros un tema tan apasionante y a la vez tan necesario en el desarrollo de la profesión, pero después de estudiar a Sócrates, Platón, entre otros, es indispensable volver a los orígenes para pretender que el juicio oral debe traer consigo elementos de prueba sustentados en el análisis de la Filosofía del Derecho como esencia fundamental con un fin específico: La justicia para la persona humana, para el individuo y a través de él para la sociedad.Las "consecuencias de la falta de profundización de la Filosofía del Derecho en la casuística judicial Penal Mariscal Nieto-Moquegua. Años 2008-2009", es tema que nos preocupa y motiva la presente investigación, pues pone en riesgo y en muchos casos violenta la libertad individual.Vemos que la figura de prisión preventiva ha desplazado la aplicación de la Filosofía del Derecho en el respeto que merece el ser humano desde su libertad, esta figura jurídica se ha convertido en una figura repetitiva, por falta de análisis filosófico de la norma.
IDENTIFICACIÓN DE ESPECIES FORESTALES PARA LA PRODUCCIÓN APÍCOLA

Este artículo surge en el marco del proyecto de investigación referenciado que se propone describir la naturaleza jurídica de los Concejos, como garantes del control político institucional de la administración en el ámbito del ente territorial, así como su relación jurídica con la Alcaldía frente al otorgamiento de facultades especiales en materia de contratación estatal, identificando los requisitos legales para el otorgamiento de estas, mediante una metodología cualitativa, adquiriendo un conocimiento profundo en el tema que ha permitido establecer el impacto de estos para una gestión pública efectiva. Los alcaldes no tienen facultades ilimitadas para contratar, pero a iniciativa de estos, en proyectos de gran relevancia presupuestal, pueden solicitar autorización especial para contratar al Concejo como garante del control político a la administración. Así, el acto administrativo que concede las facultades especiales, debe respetar el principio de legalidad,invistiendo el mandatario local con los términos precisos y límites temporales como sustanciales que indiquen puntualmente la forma en que podrá celebrar los contratos que ha aprobado la Corporación edilicia; de no limitarse de esta forma, serían contrarios al ordenamiento jurídico, como lo ha considerado el Honorable Consejo de Estado, por lo tanto, al ser controlados por la jurisdicción contenciosa devendrían en nulos.
Análisis topológico de la densidad de carga y análisis NBO en interacciones moleculares débiles
Authors:   , Sosa Gladis Laura
Published: November 2024

El presente trabajo se centra en el estudio teórico de las interacciones moleculares débiles. Para ello se utiliza el análisis Topológico de la Densidad de Carga electrónica y paralelamente el análisis de los Orbitales Naturales de Enlaces. El primer método deriva de la "Teoría de Átomos en Moléculas" desarrollada por R. F. W. Bader y permite la caracterización de las distintas interacciones atómicas en términos de la estructura física que exhibe una distribución de carga electrónica. En tanto que el análisis de los orbitales naturales de enlaces (Natural Bond orbitals, NBO) se basa en el uso de orbitales moleculares localizados. Esta técnica de análisis desarrollada por Weinhold y col., permite la identificación de los enlaces, pares no enlazantes y antienlaces que participan en las interacciones de transferencia de carga electrónica. Con ambos métodos se investigan algunas propiedades de los enlaces de hidrógeno débiles del tipo C-H--O. En particular, se discuten los factores que determinan un comportamiento diferente de la distancia del enlace C-H involucrado en estas interacciones. Posteriormente se examina una propiedad no aditiva o fenómeno de cooperatividad de los enlaces de hidrógenos. Finalmente se analizan los efectos estereoelectrónicos en compuestos heterocíclicos y su influencia sobre las constantes de acoplamiento 1J(C-H).

Published: November 2024

Cuando la región fetal situada por debajo de una línea que cruza tangencialmente a las crestas iliacas busca encajarse o ya lo ha hecho se dice que la presentación es pelviana o podálica. Para realizar este estudio se ha tomado en consideración en las Historias Clínicas la presentación y variedad de posición. En lo referente a la madre: morbilidad materna, consignado en lesiones cérvico-bulbo-perineales; episiotomia profiláctica; dilatación del cuello uterino; espontaneidad; gran extracción podálica y extracción simple. Además se hace referencia a la edad y paridad materna considerando su gran importancia. En lo referente al feto y al recién nacido se ha tomado en cuenta: mortalidad fetal, prematurez, morbilidad del recién nacido consignado en lesiones

Systematic studies of the western (Okhotsk-Korean) population of the Gray Whale, listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation, have been carried out since 1997. Since the early 2000s, these studies have been of a monitoring nature and are carried out by a group of oil producing companies active on the Sakhalin shelf. To date, a large amount of information has been accumulated relating to various aspects of the life of the gray whale. Estimates of the population size of the gray whale were obtained, its size and sex composition was studied, as well as the feeding and migratory behavior of these animals off the coast of Sakhalin. Previously, we analyzed monitoring materials relating to 2001–2012. The work done was aimed at assessing the spatial contingency in the dynamics of the distribution of gray whales and their food items. A GIS project was created, with the help of which approaches to assessing the spatial correspondence of elements of the whales-benthos system were tested and implemented. The analysis showed that the most attractive for whales are vast fields lying at shallow depths with a high, relatively evenly distributed amphipod biomass. The whale feeding area is adjacent to areas where oil production platforms and elements of the hydrocarbon transport system are installed. The activities of engineering systems can have a negative impact on animals, disorient them, scare them away, disrupt communications and even lead to physical damage. Continuous acoustic monitoring data was included in a previously created GIS to assess the impact of industrial noise on whale behavior. The results obtained do not allow us to consider acoustic impact as a significant factor influencing the spatial distribution of the feeding gray whale population in the Piltun area.

Authors: Rodriguez Uruguaya , Varela Lucía , Verde María Eugenia
Published: November 2024

Resumen
Introducción: el cólico nefrítico es una de las causas más frecuentes de consulta en puerta de emergencia. Cuando se presenta en una paciente embarazada, genera un desafío diagnóstico y terapéutico que requiere un abordaje multidisciplinario.

Materiales y métodos: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en la base de datos MedLine/PubMed considerando revisiones sistemáticas de literatura, reportes de casos clínicos, estudios observacionales retrospectivos publicados en los últimos 10 años, con el objetivo de obtener sustento informativo para crear un algoritmo diagnóstico y terapéutico que plantee el manejo del cólico nefrítico en la embarazada, dirigido a médicos emergencistas, urólogos y ginecólogos.

Resultados: se obtuvieron en total 39 artículos, que fueron analizados, trabajando finalmente en base a 17 textos, que son los citados.

Discusión: el diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica, examen físico, pruebas de laboratorio e imagen. Tratamiento de inicio conservador, que incluye hidratación, analgésicos y antieméticos, reservando la utilización de antibióticos para cuadros infecciosos. De no funcionar éste, se optará por tratamiento intervencionista.

Conclusiones: la embarazada con cólico nefrítico se estudia en base a paraclínica humoral y de imagen (ecografía, resonancia nuclear magnética y tomografía axial computada de baja dosis). El tratamiento es principalmente conservador, ante la falla del mismo o ante cuadros infecciosos es quirúrgico.
Enlightened Tribalism
Authors: Nobre Faria Filipe , Anomaly Jonathan , Willy Craig
Published: November 2024

Tribalism is often derided as a morally primitive form of human organization. But for most of human history, people organized themselves into tribes that facilitated collective action and provided their members with a sense of security and identity. In stark contrast, liberal cosmopolitans have promoted the ideal of the world community. They tend to diminish the moral importance of tribal attachments and instead claim that altruism should have a more universal scope. We argue that although tribalism can encourage needless conflict, it can also provide meaning, promote important virtues, and increase the long-run viability of human groups better than liberal cosmopolitanism. We call the view that we endorse “enlightened tribalism.” We end by identifying some of the problems tribalism can create, and distinguishing the kind of tribalism that leads groups of people to flourish from the kinds that lead to unnecessary suffering or self-destruction.
