| dc.description.abstract | The study deals with staff development at secondary schools in the Mthunzini district. Staff development practices at various secondary schools are examined in the study. The aims of this study were the following: • to determine the nature of staff development as described in relevant literature; • to investigate staff development practices at secondary schools in the Mthunzini district, and • to present the findings and recommendations which emanate from this study. Literature review was done on various textbooks, newspaper articles and journals related to the study. Various staff development theories and models were identified in order to relate them to the current staff development practices in the district under consideration. Detailed discussion of staff development initiatives that have been started by the KwaZulu-Natal department of education (Mthunzini district) also forms part of this study. The population of the study comprised principals of secondary schools in the Mthunzini district. Questionnaires were used to facilitate the process of collecting data. The study attended to learning/developmental activities; provision of staff development materials; sharing of knowledge and tasks, and work related skills that influence one's understanding of the job. Data analysis was both quantitative and qualitative. The findings of the study necessitated the investigator to make recommendations regarding staff development. | en_US |
