The shift to Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated online learning at home for South African (and other) students. Using a critical paradigm, qualitative approach and case study design, this study, underpinned by critical theory, used interviews, voice notes and text messages to generate data to explore how South African university students’ home contexts shape their experiences of ERTL. Using thematic analysis, the findings indicated that student learning at home was negatively impacted by poor internet connectivity, home responsibilities, cramped living conditions, lack of safety, and financial and psycho-social stresses. The findings exposed the lived realities of students’ home contexts, made more difficult through the pandemic. This study adds to the literature on student adaptation to learning in the pandemic within home contexts characterised by resource poverty and challenging psycho-social conditions.

The objective of this article is to explain the challenges that occur in establishing customary villages. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. This study uses thematic analysis, which aims to identify patterns and determine themes. Data collected using interviews and documentation. The results of the study found that there were four challenges in making regional regulations for the establishment of customary villages: first, the drafting period for the determination of customary villages was carried out in a short period. Second, not prioritizing socialization. Third, local wisdom is considered less critical for the sub-district government. Fourth, there is no follow-up from the local government to establish local regulations.

ABSTRACT This study sought to explore teaching and learning of accounting: in-service educators’ experiences in the context of a South African University. The study employs a qualitative research approach using a case study design. Ten accounting teachers were purposively selected. The findings revealed that accounting resources used for teaching and learning of accounting were not related to an accountancy education. Also, some accounting lecturers at university were found to be unprofessional and not committed to their work, with many using local languages when teaching. The authors recommend that new accounting lecturers at the South African university be mentored by their senior counterparts. Until the situation improves, students should be encouraged to voice their dissatisfaction with what happens in the lecture halls.

This study aimed to depict parents’ perceptions of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) circular about learning from home during Covid-19 pandemic through a case study in Air Bening Village, Dusun III. This was a field study using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data were collected through interviews, observations and documentation for the sake of garnering the data concerning relevant matters. The results of this study demonstrated that parents' perceptions indicated that MOEC circular about learning at home during the Covid-19 pandemic period was felt to be not running effectively and efficiently. It was because in teaching and learning processes parents turned into a teacher who had to be able to master various learning materials. In the meantime, parents did not understand the materials and contents of their children’s assignments due to their low educational backgrounds. Parents complained about online learning implemented by schools because they lacked the mastery of the facilities available on Android, except only for communicating or accessing photos. Even, some were still unable to use Android properly. In addition, internet networks were inadequate, and students or children played more than learned so that during this pandemic students only learned when they had assignments from the teacher. The rest of their time was not used to rehearse the subject matters.

Output Hypothesis

Abstract South African Sign Language (SASL) has become an increasingly popular language that hearing university students want to learn as a second language. This requires more qualified SASL instructors and new curricula at South African universities. This paper considers ways in which challenges associated with the teaching and learning of SASL can be overcome. Krashen’s Comprehension Input Hypothesis and Swain’s Output Hypothesis form the theoretical framework as reference to our own independent experience, praxis, and reflection. This study considered different teaching methods and pedagogies and found the post-method approach suggested by Kumaravadivelu (2003) a viable method for teaching SASL as a second language. This method aligns with the method we had independently identified as the most empowering for teachers to create their own strategies focused on their intuition, experiences and pedagogy. Therefore, we do not favour one specific method above another, but rather adopt an integrated approach. We make a few suggestions regarding sign language curriculum content and further research in sign language as an L2, which need urgent attention.

The aim of the research was to explore the challenges and related matters in managing English as a Second Language overcrowded classrooms. A qualitative approach, steered by a case study design, purposively guided the study. It was deemed fit in order to understand the phenomena with deeper understanding of beliefs and situated lived experiences. Semi-structured interviews and nonparticipant observations were used as methods to generate data for analysis. The research exposed that copious problems were experienced by teachers and leaners who were subjected to overcrowded classrooms. Amongst many, noise and unruly behaviour, poor time management and teaching approaches result in such classes. Guiding principles regarding sound teacher-learner ratios should be put in place by policymakers and schools in order to support both teachers and learners for the success of teaching and learning.
