Description: The course materials for Rights at Work consist of: 13 separate printed booklets (latex-bound and punched so that they can be kept in a file), in the first print, the discovery exercises were only duplicated. In the second print, the discovery exercises represent the 13th booklet, a selection of duplicated case studies. Sets of the printed booklets will be available for each student to act as resource material during the course, and as a 'reference' book after the course. The case studies are provided as 'master copies' to be reproduced in sufficient student numbers by the tutors. As from the second print-run of materials (March 1980) each student 'set' of 13 booklets will arrive from the printers unseparated as one latex-bound 'volume'. It is strongly recommended that tutors separate out the 13 booklets themselves and hand them out separately week by week. Each booklet has a colour cover with cartoon, so the process of separation is fairly easy. To hand out the whole set of material at the beginning would be daunting for most students. The booklet of discovery exercises can either be handed out to students to keep, with the tutor directing students to the appropriate activity each week. Or tutors can keep the booklets and extract and hand out the appropriate activity each week. These tutors notes describe the overall aims and methods of the course and the job of the tutor in turning these course materials into a successful course. The notes are divided into two parts. The first part deals with the overall approach to the course, in terms of aims, structure and methods, and how to plan a course. The second part gives brief notes on using individual sections of the course.

Description: The child's language development is one of the most notable achievements of the preschool years. Children must develop their language skills effectively to access the curriculum. Practitioners of Early Childhood Development (ECD) have a substantial impact on children's spoken language development. As a result, three centers in the Buffalo City Education District are the subject of this dissertation's investigation into how ECD practitioners contribute to children's oral language development. The applicable theory used in the study was Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory. The existent phenomenon was examined using the interpretivist research paradigm and the qualitative research methodology. The study used a phenomenological research approach to examine the perspectives, functions, and experiences of individuals (ECD practitioners) in the growth of children's oral language. The study used purposive sampling. Participants were purposively selected as because of their proximity to the researcher’s workplace. The fifteen practitioners in the chosen ECD centers were interviewed in semi-structured interviews, and data were also gathered through observations. Following transcription, sorting, and categorization, the gathered data were thematically analysed using themes inferred from the study objectives. The study's conclusions showed that ECD specialists help children improve their oral language in a useful way. As a result, they require training in the creation and application of various strategies for fostering oral language in young children. Short courses will also assist practitioners in fostering the overall development of children. One of the key elements that interferes with effective teaching and learning at ECD centers, though, is a shortage of resources. , Thesis (MEd) -- Faculty of Education, 2023

Description: NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF EXISTING JOB GRADING. Staff members do not have a stable basic salary. The basic salary fluctuate in relation to changes within the package such as medical aid , housing and car allowance. Financial Institutions base their credit assessment on the gross salary and not on the total package since other benefits do not form part of the cash received in the bank on pay day. This system encourage staff members to be able to cancel medical aid contributions and other allowances since one in return receives an increased basic salary at the end an increased cash in the bank . Blue collar employees are not benefiting from such salary structuring . Most of these employees have bigger families which adds more dependants at the end . These are staff members who earn low income . With this category of employees you find staff members who are frequently ill or offsick due to improper diet and poor living conditions or lack of proper medical treatment. Good heath is a basic need . Employers should have such salary systems which should encourage staff members to have medical aids in order to have employees who are in a good state of health . This should be the resposibility of the employer to encourage its staff members to be in a position of participating in medical scheme for a better output of the organisation and have a healthier society and a growing economy .

Description: The aim of this study is to present information to members of the South African press, academics in the field of journalism as well as individuals of the South African public who have a keen interest in printed communication in South Africa. The information presented discusses the practice of self-regulation in the South African press, through a study of the Press Council of South Africa (PCSA), the Press Ombudsman and the Press Appeals Panel that is a non-governmental organisation to regulate the press in South Africa. This study will include an analysis of the functions of the Press Ombudsman, the PCSA, the Press Appeals Panel, as well as the role of the constitution of the PSCA and the South African Press Code, which the PCSA uses as a guideline for publications that subscribe to it. Furthermore, a study into the complaints procedure and the determination of the outcome will be done in addition to the sanctions imposed on publications and journalists in breach of the Press Code as well as the acknowledgement given to individuals who have lodged a complaint to the Press Ombudsman, and the article or publication they have complained against had been in breach of the press code. In addition, this study will analyse the outcomes of selected complaints submitted to the PCSA as well as an analysis of submissions made to the PCSA task team and the Press Freedom Commission, an independent commission that was set up to research the regulations of the press. It was found that the PCSA strengthened the system of regulation with the help of the public. It is apparent that the organisation took into account many of the points raised in public submissions. Although the system is self-regulatory it is important to take note that it values and upholds the views of the public. Although though the sanctioning of wayward newspapers was not severe, it had become more defined in the amended code. A point of concern that did not improve over time is the time frame that the Press Ombudsman‟s Office took to resolve the disputes. The delays caused in some disputes were caused by loop holes in the press code and complaints procedure as well as defiant journalists. The PCSA is currently being restructured. As a society changes, the press industry needs to adapt to its needs. This means that the press code will have to constantly be developed to suit society‟s rapidly changing needs. The PCSA has attempted to meet those needs by constantly changing to ensure that the regulatory structure remains relevant.
