Instructional leadership, which aims to foster a teaching and learning community, is seen as a key component of successful teaching and long-term school improvement. The rise in site-specific management roles, which are based on instructional leadership experiences, is one of the initiatives launched by the South African government to reform education. In South Africa, school principals are responsible for academic development. This qualitative research aimed to learn more about the role of principals in sustaining school improvement in the North West Province of South Africa.

In any research approach, data obtained should be reliable and authentic in order to make sure that the results are valid. In qualitative approach too, even though the process of data collection was carried out as outlined and discussed in detail by expert researchers in this area, the experiences of the researcher during the process were different and should be shared with other researchers. The objective of this study is to discuss on the process of obtaining validity and reliability in the process of conducting qualitative research about verbal questioning during the teaching and learning. The findings discuss on six types of process to ensure that validity and reliability is achieved, which are: triangulation, prolonged engagement, member checking, peer review, an audit trail and researcher's bias. This impact of this study inform that the several techniques for getting validity and reliability of the data collection are needed to ensure that the findings of research are reliable and authentic.

Members of legislatures are relying on the researchers to guide and advise them on the alternatives to deliver on their constitutional mandates of law making, oversight, public participation and cooperative governance. The researchers are also dependent on the Senior Information Officers for the provision of current comprehensive, unbiased and reliable information in order to develop research and advisory documents to be used by legislators when carrying out their mandates. However, legislators often decry the standard of research and advisory documents, citing the shortcomings which include among others: inadequateness, inaccuracy and lack of credibility of the information upon which they are to base their decisions or policy direction. This study was set out to investigate the extent to which researchers in the legislatures utilise the information provided by the Senior Information Officers (SIOs) and/or the reasons for non-utilisation thereof in cases where information is not utilised. The study used a qualitative research approach to establish meaning from the views of the participants. In-depth interviews were used as a key method of data collection. The findings of this study suggest that the Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s researchers do not make full use of the Information provided to them by the SIOs. Furthermore, researchers appeared not to value the role played by the SIOs in keeping the legislators informed but rather as duplicating the researchers’ role.
