The purpose of the research was to evaluate administrative practices in three selected Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In the higher education sector, students are the clients who are to be given service and whose needs are to be satisfied. A SERVQUAL theoretical framework was employed in this study. The study drew on a mixed method research design. Questionnaires were administered to students, and semi-structured interviews were...

Temperatures in Africa are expected to increase by the end of the century. Heat-related health impacts and perceived health symptoms are potentially a problem, especially in public schools with limited resources. Students (n = 252) aged ~14–18 years from eight high schools completed an hourly heat-health symptom log over 5 days. Data loggers measured indoor classroom temperatures. A high proportion of students felt tired (97.2%), had low concentration (96.8%) and felt sleepy (94.1%) during...

Noise disturbance has been recognised as a problem in schools, affecting the intelligibility of speech, and consequently, educational outcomes. Whilst research has explained various effects of noise on learning, less is known about specific learner populations’ perceptions of the effects of noise on their learning. This article reports on a study that compared the noise perceptions of learners at two all-girls high schools (one comprising mostly English home-language speakers; the other...

This paper builds on our study on research on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) and was conducted in 2019. Our study undertook a systematic literature review, which evaluated over 2,000 scientific publications, classifying some 300 as relevant to the topic and examined them in greater detail. One focus area...

This study reviews the evidence on the labor market impact of youth employment programs. We analyze the effectiveness of interventions, and factors that influence program performance including country context, target beneficiaries, program design, implementation, and evaluation type. We identify 113 impact evaluations covering a wide range of methodologies, interventions, and countries. The meta-analysis synthesizes the evidence based on 2,259 effect sizes (Standardized Mean Differences) and...

The application of big data analytics in education is transforming learning, teaching and administration in schools. Current Education Data Mining (EDM) research focuses on teaching and personalized learning in higher institutions mostly in western countries with limited research conducted in African countries. Most research has been conducted using small datasets, simple learning analytics techniques and machine learning black box models to predict students’ performance. Black box modelling...

This paper is a follow-up of the paper ECER-presented in 2012, ‘A Critical Review of Vocational Education and Training Research and Suggestions for the Research Agenda’ (Author & Co-author, 2012). This paper gave a description of research in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in 2011. This new paper gives an overview of the field of VET research in 2012. In this article the VET research presented at the European Conference of Educational Research 2012 (Cádiz) is reviewed,...

Children spend a significant proportion of their time at school and in school buildings. A healthy learning environment that supports children should be thermally conducive for learning and working. Here, we aimed to study the relations between indoor classroom temperatures and learner absenteeism as a proxy for children’s health and well-being. This one-year prospective study that spanned two calendar years (from June 2017 to May 2018) entailed measurement of indoor classroom temperature...
