Ngwenya, Nthabiseng Cecilia Angelina (PhD)
Nthabiseng Ngwenya gra duated with a Secondary Teacher’s Diploma in 1985 from Transvaal College of Education, a BA degree from UNISA in 1994 and a BEd degree in 2001 from Vista University. She obtained her MEd degree from RAU in 2003. She has held the positions of a teacher and later acting principal in three secondary schools. She is currently a Senior Education Specialist in the Gauteng Department of Education. Through interpretivist, qualitative, participatory action research within a single case together with the research group constituted by five purposefully selected adult education centre teachers, the candidate explored teaching practices that may enhance inclusive teaching in adult education and training institutions in the Gauteng East District. During this enquiry, data were collected through semi- structured interviews, participant observations, documentary analysis and focus group interviews and analysed through an inductive thematic content analysis. As a result, guidelines or a conceptual framework on how teaching in these institutions could be made more inclusive was developed. The proposed conceptual framework highlights the significance of planning, learner participation, curriculum delivery approach, class interactions and communication, use of resources and media, assessment and the creation of inclusive culture as important in enhancing inclusive teaching in an adult education context. This study therefore makes a unique contribution to inclusive adult education pedagogies.
