Adult, Community and Continuing Education Lecturers: Prof L. Johnson,
Drs M. Lepholletse and X. Tawana Discipline: Adult, Community and
Continuing Education (DACCE) Experiences of academic online student
support systems: The case of adult education programme/s The
effectiveness of adult education programmes delivery at UNISA: An
exploratory study The role of adult educators in community development
programmes. An evaluation on implementation of programmes at Mamelodi
community learning centre/college: A case study 2. Comparative &
International Education Lecturers: Drs B. Nhlumayo and L. Luvalo
Discipline: Comparative and International Education Comparative
Education is a research framework that explores similarities and
differences in educational systems and practices, including comparing
systems across regions and countries. The aim of Comparative Education
is to enable students to critically evaluate international and national
education systems and to examine the policy framework within which the
South African education system operates. Comparative Educationists
analyse the factors and forces that shape education systems. When writing
your research proposal, in Comparative Education, students need to be
able to demonstrate an understanding of the situational demands that have
an influence on education systems and the general components of
education systems. Once your topic has been crafted, you will be guided
on the steps to follow to get your research proposal completed. Possible
topics to consider: The situational demands that influence education in
different contexts include: Language, technology, education policies,
geography, culture, politics, religion, history, demographics and , economy.
You should be able to formulate research topics on the provision of
education based on each of these contextual factors. Theories from
,sociology and economics are relevant in this research module. It is
important to note that South Africa is a classified as a developing country
and comparison can be made with other developing countries. Other
research topics for consideration can be crafted frommay be the following
themes: · How the impact of Covid19 pandemic could be seen as a socio-
economic factor, a political factor, and/or a science and technology factor
influencing the educational landscape of South Africa and/or any other
selected country. · Objectives of Educational systems · Curricula: Compare
countries along the provision of curricula · Assessment and evaluation
(student achievement, examination systems) · Access to education:
Facilities, policy, resources · Educational structure, systems, ideologies ·
School safety measures · Education as a basic human right – what factors
influence that · Gender inequalities, contemporary issues in educational
systems, · The impact of mother tongue instruction on the provision of
education in SA, etc · Technological disparities in education · Cultural
diversity in education · Role of nutrition and free meals in education · The
provision of education in rural and urban spaces 3. Curriculum Integrating
Open Educational Resources (OERs) into the Curriculum Lecturer: Prof P
Biccard Discipline: Curriculum The objective of your research proposal is to
investigate the possible effective integration of Open Educational
Resources (OERs) into curricula of a specific school/college subject you
know or teach. Your study aims to explore the impact of incorporating
OERs on teaching and learning outcomes, learner engagement, and
overall educational effectiveness. Research Focus Areas: Select ONE of
these focus areas for your proposal. · Pedagogical Integration: Analyse
how OERs can be seamlessly integrated into existing curriculum
frameworks, focusing on pedagogical approaches that enhance learner
learning experiences. · Quality and Relevance of OERs: Evaluate the
quality, relevance, and appropriateness of available OERs in the selected
educational context. · Teacher and Student Perspectives: Investigate the
attitudes and perspectives of both teachers and learners towards the use of
OERs, exploring challenges, opportunities, and perceived benefits. · Impact
on Learning Outcomes: Assess the impact of OER integration on academic
performance, critical thinking skills, and the acquisition of subject-specific
knowledge. Methodology: Design a robust research methodology that uses
either qualitative or quantitative approaches. Consider employing surveys,
interviews, focus groups to gather insights from teachers and/or learners.
Ensure ethical considerations in data collection and maintain participant
confidentiality. Expected Outcomes: · A comprehensive understanding of
the current landscape of OER integration in education. · Identification of
best practices and challenges associated with OER integration. ·
Recommendations for improving the effectiveness of OER integration into
the curriculum. Note: · Students are encouraged to align their proposals
with current educational theories, technological advancements, and
, relevant literature on OERs and curriculum development. The research
should contribute to the broader conversation on optimising educational
practices through the integration of OERs. · You will not actually collect
data from participants; rather, you will outline how you intend to do so. ·
The main aim of the proposal is to convince the reader that your proposed
research is both significant and necessary. · The module page provides
specific headings and word count for each section of the proposal. 4. Early

M. Makokotlela & Prof O. Lebeloane, Dr Shabalala, Pamella Nonkanyiso
These projects introduce you to the area of research in ESD. You will be
expected to write a full research proposal. The focus of the research should
be within the themes that are provided below. Examples of the titles that
you can research on are provided. Please note that they are not a
prescription, so you can formulate your own titles. Students will be guided
on how to go about doing their research. The research project will be done
step by step following the structure of a research proposal. Formative
assessment namely assignments may also be used to guide you.
Background knowledge around environment and sustainability is
significant. Topic 1: Climate change • Climate change is one of the most
global challenging issues. Discourse around its consequences such as the
natural hazards, effects on natural resources, social, and economic aspects
amongst others is important. • It is also worth to explore climate change &
education. • Comparative study/ies on the implementation of climate
change in education (comparing two or more countries) is vital. Toic 2:
Water matters • Water scarcity and usage, • education, • pollution, •
management, etc. Topic 3: Sustainability and indigenous knowledge
Indigenous Knowledge can play a role in environmental sustainability. So, it
should be taught in formal settings. 6. History of Education History of
Education and Democracy Lecturer: Prof M.C. Dube Discipline: History of
Education This topic seeks to investigate issues and circumstances that
inform education and democracy. We all understand that some aspects of
education entail the promotion of democracy. Democracy is one of the
values that education seeks to impart on our learners. It’s incumbent upon
us to undertake research on these issues for our own understanding public
consumption. Therefore, research around this topic should seek to address
any issues that are relative to education and democracy. History of
Curricula Lecturer: Prof MC Dube Discipline: History of Education Teaching
and learning activities are tantamount to or entail curriculum. It is pivotal to
learn about history of curriculum so that we understand issues that
underpin curriculum formation. We need research that will uncover issues
that led to curriculum formation in order to understand dynamics of
curriculum. So, undertaking research under this topic should be guided by
