Over the past two decades, South Africa has emphasised the need for school learners to be technologically literate by the end of high school. Specifically, South Africa’s Department of Education (2007) and the Department of Basic Education (2019) stated that it was critical for high school learners to be technologically literate by the end of their schooling. The inclusion of Technology as a subject within the South African education policy framework was considered an important innovation, an attempt at making the curriculum compatible with the skills needed of a globalised economy (Ankiewicz, 2020). Given this context, the goal for teaching Technology as a school subject should enable both learners and teachers to acquire skills, values, knowledge, and attitudes to become critical and creative thinkers and developers. There is a need to continuously explore ways to promote the effective teaching and learning of Technology at high school level. This study explores the teachers’ adoption of ICT into the teaching of the school subject Technology in two Cape Town high schools. The theoretical framework drawn on in this study is the RAT model (Hughes et al., 2006), which helps in the understanding of an individual learners’ and teachers’ personal experiences of teaching, and understanding technology’s role in teaching, learning, and curricular practices. The study explores the presence or absence of ICT adoption and utilisation in the teaching of Technology, as well as techniques that were applied within pedagogical practices. The research design was a multiple case study at the two schools in the Province of the Western Cape. A qualitative approach was used to collect and analyse the data. Semi-structured interviews with both the Grade 9 learners and teachers were conducted. Focus group discussions were conducted with the learners at the selected high schools, herein referred to as School A and School B. Based on the findings, recommendations will be disseminated to the Department of Basic Education in raising the learners’ levels of technological literacy through innovative teaching and learning strategies.

The perspective of the majority of individuals reflects the view that working from home is actually more tiring compared to the experience of working face-to-face. WFH workers are often faced with difficulties in managing and optimizing the use of their time, even though they are physically at home. This research aims to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the impacts that influence digital fatigue experienced by workers in the virtual office era, especially those with Sandwich Generation status. Quantitative methods with the SEM-PLS approach were used with a census sample of 582 respondents. The findings indicate that the digital fatigue experienced by the Sandwich Generation is not influenced by work pressure. This research makes a contribution by placing a focus on sandwich generation workers. This creates novelty because it brings a specific dimension of the sandwich generation into the virtual office context.

“…Dealing with minorities (Boveda & Bhattacharya, 2019;Gray et al, 2017;Hudson, 2009;Levinson, 2010) raise questions about how to approach and understand different cultural codes and ideals (Hudson, 2009;Takeda, 2022). Other dilemmas concern children as participants (MacDonald, 2013;Mukhlash & Ezis, 2019), consent in virtual worlds (Girvan & Savage, 2012), and how researchers deal with relationships when they are researching their own institution (Costley & Gibbs, 2006;MacLean & Poole, 2010;McGinn, 2018;Unluer, 2012). In education science, it is common to have children and young people as participants, which places special demands on the researcher's ethical considerations (MacDonald, 2013;Mukhlash & Ezis, 2019).…”

In education science, it is common to have children and young people as participants, which places special demands on the researcher's ethical considerations (MacDonald, 2013;Mukhlash & Ezis, 2019). When children are participants, consent must be given from several different actors such as teachers, guardians and from the children themselves.…”

“…Both information and the question of consent must therefore be presented so that the children understand. Several studies are discussing the researchers' reflexivity to consent, whether participants feel obliged to take part (Takeda, 2022), not least when the researcher is an insider (MacLean & Poole, 2010) or a child (Mac-Donald, 2013;Mukhlash & Ezis, 2019). Other aspects of being an insider is that the aims of the teacher and the researcher in some cases may be contradictory and thus the professional ethics of the teacher and the ethics of the researcher are not compatible (MacLean & Poole, 2010;McGinn, 2018).…”

Research Ethics in Swedish Dissertations in Educational Science – A Matter of Confusion

J Acad Ethics

In all research, ethical considerations are crucial to reliability and quality and researchers are guided by various national and international documents and ethical committees. Despite different strategies to guide researchers and to ensure quality, there still seems to be uncertainty in educational science about how research ethics should be positioned and handled in practice. The aim of this study is to phenomenologically explore what meanings the phenomenon research ethics are given in Swedish doctoral dissertations in educational research based on how doctoral researchers position, frame and present research ethics in their ethical elaborations. The empirical data consists of 60 doctoral dissertations in educational science at Swedish universities from the past year. The result indicates very different meanings of ethical considerations despite a quite common point of departure in the Swedish Research Council’s guidelines and knowledge of the Ethics Review Act. Some variations can be related to the differences in the studies’ designs, but regardless of such explanations, the conclusion is that consensus regarding ethical considerations in research is largely lacking.
