| dc.description.abstract | Afrikaans: Doeltreffende professionele ontwikkelingsprogramme help onderwysers om die mees resente vakkennis te verwerf en om geskikte tegnieke te gebruik wat leer aansienlik kan bevorder. Die Nasionale Beleidsraamwerk vir Onderwysersopleiding en -ontwikkeling poog om te voorsien in die behoefte aan toepaslik-opgeleide onderwysers in Suid-Afrika. Hierdie kwalitatiewe ondersoek is daarop gemik om personeel se persepsies van die voorsiening van voortgesette professionele ontwikkelingsprogramme in die lig van bogenoemde beleid te verduidelik. Die ontleding van data het die volgende twee hoofkategorieë aan die lig gebring: die voorsiening en die logistiek van professionele ontwikkelingsprogramme. | af |
