| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of perceptions of School Management Teams (SMTs) on the implementation of the Continuing Professional Teacher Development management system (CPTD). A case study of three primary schools in the Butterworth Education District was used in this study. The implementation of the CPTD management system as proposed by the South African Council for Educators (SAGE) and the Department of Basic Education (DBE) prompted this study. The SMTs are tasked with the responsibility to guide and support the implementation of the DBE's educational programs, like the CPTD, for enhancing professional practice. Previous studies have highlighted challenges that SMTs face in executing their roles in implementing programs such as Developmental Appraisal System (DAS) and Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS). These studies paid less or no attention to the preparedness of SMTs and their capability before implementing educational programs in which they are tasked to provide support. Therefore, the researcher has conducted this study in order to develop a deeper understanding of SMTs' perceptions on the implementation of the CPTD management system in schools. In order to gain understanding of SMTs' perceptions pertaining to the topic under study, the researcher chose the qualitative research approach. This approach enabled the researcher to collect first-hand information directly from the participant. The case study was deemed relevant because it is concerned with a vivid description of events relevant to the case. | |
