dc.description.abstractThe objective of this research was to determine the role of educators in the creation, development, and maintenance of classroom culture in secondary schools .The study was conducted in the Pongola Circuit of the Vryheid District of the Zululand Region of the Department of Education in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. Indeed educators play a leading role in the creation and maintenance of classroom culture .The focus of this research was only on secondary schools in the above-stated circuit. In order for teaching and learning to take place effectively, educators must organize educational situations that facilitate teaching and learning. The question here is how educators go about carrying out this task and how effective are they. A questionnaire was administered to educators. The main aim was to determine the educators' role in creating, developing and maintaining a classroom culture in their schools. The educators responded by giving their views. It was on the basis of these views that the study concluded that a greater number of educators in the area that was studied play an important role in the creation of classroom culture. It was also discovered that there are some educators who are not clear on their roles as facilitators of classroom culture. They do not properly understand their roles as facilitators of teaching and learning. Such educators need capacity building workshops and training. This makes recommendations inevitable as far as the development and the maintenance of classroom culture is concerned. Such recommendations are made for use by a variety of stakeholders in education, mainly educators and other officials in education.en_US
