Onderwysers se ervaring van die doel en die implementering van Geïntegreerde Gehaltebestuurstelsel (GGBS)

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Evaluation is seen as one of the key elements to enhance the teaching skills andsubject knowledge of teachers, thereby facilitating effective and quality teaching andlearning. One way of ensuring that this becomes a reality at South African schools isthe introduction of an evaluation policy, namely the Integrated Quality ManagementSystem, as contained in the document Integrated Quality Management System(IQMS), Collective Agreement Number 8 of 2003 of the Education Labour RelationsCouncil. This research was conducted against the backdrop of IQMS implementationin South African schools since 2005, and explored answers to the followingquestions: How do teachers experience the implementation of the IQMS (a form ofevaluation)? To what extent does the IQMS contribute to the support, developmentand growth of teachers? Has the implementation of the IQMS had any positiveimpact on the quality of teaching and learning in schools?The data for the research were collected in 39 schools in Paarl and surroundingareas. The findings of the research study are based on a quantitative (questionnaire)investigation in the framework of an interpretive and positivistic paradigm.The results of the research showed that a significant number of teachers experiencethe goal and implementation of the IQMS as problematic. This leads to theconclusion that the implementation of the policy has not necessarily contributed to afundamental improvement in the quality of teaching and learning in the participatingschools. This conclusion is also based on the lack of meaningful and ongoing supportand assistance that respondents receive before and after the evaluation process.The findings of this study correspond with those of international studies on the sametopic, and indicate that teachers face universal problems, particularly with regard tothe implementation of evaluation policies. This study could contribute to furtherresearch on the topic.
