An analysis of mathematical modelling competencies of grade 11 learners in solving word problems involving quadratic equations
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This study analysed the modelling competencies of grade 11 learners and also explored the degree to which the learners’ competency in setting up a mathematical model inhibits the development of an acceptable solution for ...
The impact of using technology through cooperative learning on learners’ performance on grade 11 circle geometry
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Euclidean geometry was recently re-introduced as a compulsory topic in the Mathematics Curriculum for learners in the Further Education and Training (FET) band in 2012. The diagnostic analysis reports on the National Senior ...

Examining the challenges experienced by teachers with the implementation of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) in Grade 10 Physical Sciences in an education district in the Eastern Cape Province
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Recently Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) were introduced in
South Africa in response to confusion precipitated by previous curriculum documents.
The purpose of this study is to uncover the challenges ...
Teaching electrical circuits in grade 10 physical science using a conceptual change approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the teaching of electric circuits in Grade 10 Physical Sciences using a conceptual change approach would enhance learners' understanding of the concept. The conceptual ...
The application of cooperative learning to enhance the teaching of Nature of Science for scientific literacy advancement in secondary school physical science students
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to explore, demonstrate and apply cooperative learning when explicitly exposing Nature of Science (NoS) to physical science secondary students aiming at advancing scientific literacy. Secondary ...
Pre-service science teachers’ conceptual and procedural difficulties in solving mathematical problems in physical science
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Students frequently leave first-year physical science classes with a dual set of
physical laws in mind- the equations to be applied to qualitative problems and the
entrenched set of concepts, many erroneous, to be applied ...
Investigating the effects of continuous professional development on ICT integration in the classroom of Foundation Phase Mathematics
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The use of technology is becoming the norm in the 21st century classroom to enhance teaching and learning. This rapid move to incorporate technology in the classroom brought the need for teachers to be upskilled on the use ...
Effects of a mathematics teaching strategy based on distributed interleaved practice on procedural and conceptual knowledge
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
