Numerous reports about violence in South African schools have become an issue of concern for both government and society. Due to the high incidences of school violence, schools are no longer viewed as safe and secure teaching and learning environments.
From a South African perspective, research focuses mainly on violence toward learners and based on the researcher’s knowledge, very little attention has been given to violence toward educators in Limpopo, a province in South Africa. The researcher noted a serious lack of focus on incidents of violence directed at educators and their coping mechanisms after victimisation, particularly within Limpopo. The study aimed to explore the effects of learner violence toward educators, and to understand the coping mechanisms educators use after victimisation. This qualitative study applied the ecological systems theory as its theoretical framework.
The sample comprised eleven educators (one male and ten females) selected purposefully from six public secondary schools in the Mopani West District in the Limpopo province. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using an interview guide. A pilot study with two participants was first conducted to assess the suitability of the questions probing the experience of violence. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data collected. Although the experiences shared by the participants were unique, the thematic analysis revealed commonalities in the stories constructed by the participants. The themes included the causes of violence toward educators, the effects of learner violence toward educators, educators’ coping mechanisms and interventions suggested by educators.
The major findings revealed that violence in schools persists, and educators continue to be victims of violence perpetrated by learners. The participants articulated the need for psychological support. Most participants wanted the Department of Basic Education or the South African Council of Education to formulate a law or policy to train educators in terms of reducing school violence and coping following victimisation. The study therefore recommends that policy be put in place to handle learners who are violent towards educators. |

Verskeie berigte oor geweld in Suid-Afrikaanse skole is ’n kwessie van kommer vir beide die regering en die samelewing. Weens die hoë voorkoms van skoolgeweld word skole nie meer as veilige onderrig-en leeromgewings beskou nie.
Vanuit ’n Suid-Afrikaanse perspektief fokus navorsing hoofsaaklik op geweld teenoor leerders en op grond van die navorser se kennis word min aandag gegee aan geweld teen opvoeders in Limpopo, ’n provinsie van Suid-Afrika. Die navorser het opgemerk dat daar ’n ernstige gebrek is aan fokus op voorvalle van geweld gerig op opvoeders en hulle hanteringsmeganismes ná viktimisasie, veral in Limpopo. Die doel van die studie was om die uitwerking van leerdergeweld teenoor opvoeders te verken, en om die hanteringsmeganismes wat opvoeders ná viktimisasie gebruik, te verstaan. Hierdie kwalitatiewe studie het die ekologiese sisteemteorie as teoretiese raamwerk toegepas.
Die steekproef het bestaan uit elf opvoeders (een man en twee vroue) wat doelgerig gekies is uit ses openbare sekondêre skole in die Mopani-Wes-distrik in die Limpopo-provinsie. Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is gevoer met behulp van ’n onderhoudsgids. ’n Loodsondersoek met twee deelnemers is eers uitgevoer om die geskiktheid van die vrae wat geweld ondersoek, te bepaal. Tematiese ontleding is gebruik om die data wat ingesamel is, te ontleed. Alhoewel die ervarings wat die deelnemers gedeel het, uniek is, het die tematiese ondersoek gemeenskaplikhede in die verhale wat deur die deelnemers gekonstrueer is, aan die lig gebring. Die temas het die oorsake van geweld teenoor opvoeders, opvoeders se hanteringsmeganismes en intervensies wat deur opvoeders voorgestel is, ingesluit.
Die belangrikste bevindinge het aan die lig gebring dat geweld in skole voortduur, en dat opvoeders steeds slagoffers is van geweld wat deur leerders gepleeg word. Die deelnemers het die behoefte aan sielkundige ondersteuning verwoord. Die meeste deelnemers wou hê dat die Departement van Basiese Onderwys of die Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwysraad ’n wet of beleid moet formuleer om opvoeders op te lei om skoolgeweld te kan verminder en ná viktimisasie te hanteer. Die studie beveel dus aan dat beleid ingestel moet word om leerders te hanteer wat gewelddadig teenoor opvoeders is. |
