| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to explore the perceptions of secondary school educators of the East London Education District on the developmental aspect of the Integrated Quality Management System. The researcher has observed that despite the endeavors of the Department of Education to implement IQMS, it seems as if there is no real development taking place in schools. The research was conducted in two secondary schools, one from an urban area and another from a rural area of the district under study. Purposeful sampling was employed and the sample comprised four educators from each school (i.e. the principal, IQMS coordinator, union member and post level one educator). In this study the researcher employed a qualitative research approach in the form of a case study. The case comprised secondary school educators (including principals) of two purposively selected schools. The case study was meant to ensure the description and analysis of the qualitative data. Qualitative research lies with the idea that meaning is socially constructed by individuals in interaction with their world. The study embraced a basic interpretive paradigm. This type of paradigm is interested in understanding how participants make meaning of a situation or phenomenon. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews since they give the researcher latitude to explore emergent themes and ideas. | |
