Wevers, Nicolaas Ebenhaezar Jacobus
Te midde van ingrypende veranderinge in die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwysstelsel, word verwag dat opvoeders hul taak op 'n gemotiveerde wyse moet uitvoer om die jeug voor te berei vir die toekoms.
Hierdie kwalitatiewe navorsing het ten doel die ondersoek na faktore waardeur opvoedermotivering beinvloed word en die rol van skoolbestuurders (skoolhoofde en hul bestuurspanne) in die motivering van opvoeders.
Deur 'n omvattende hteratuurstudie is die begrip motivering duideliker belig en is die verskynsel van motivering ondersoek aan die hand van verskillende moti veringsteoriee.
'n Empiriese ondersoek, deur middel van semi-gestruktureerde onderhoudvoering met opvoeders en skoolbestuurders in die Oos-Kaap, is uitgevoer om te bepaal watter faktore opvoederrnotivering beinvloed.
Daar is bevind dat opvoedermotivering deur "n groot verskeidenheid faktore beinvloed word en dat skoolbestuurders 'n belangrike rol te speel bet in die motivering van opvoeders. Op grond van die bevindinge van die empiriese ondersoek is aanbevelings gemaak wat kan lei tot beter opvoedermotivering. In the midst of drastic educational change in South Africa, it is expected that educators must fulfil their duties in a motivated manner and to thoroughly prepare our youth for the future.
This qualitative research sought to explore the factors contributing to the motivation of educators and to determine what role school managers (principals and their management teams) play in the motivation of educators.
By means of an extensive literature search, the term motivation was iluminated and the phenomenon of motivation was explored through different motivational theories..
An empirical inquiry through semi-structured interviews with educators and school managers were conducted in the Eastern Cape to determine the factors contributing to the motivation of educators..
The findings in this research showed that educators are motivated or demotivated by a variety of factors. It also showed that school managers have an important role to play in the motivation of educators. Citation:
