Exploring Learner Participation in Waste-Management Activities in a Rural Botswana Primary School

In Botswana, participation in environmental learning activities has been perceived as a central component of environmental education in formal education. Driven by the need to implement the objective of making the participatory approach part of the infusion of environmental education in the school curriculum as prescribed by the infusion policy, Botswana schools have come up with initiatives to involve learners in environmental education activities that seem to have ‘a direct, perceived benefit to the learners’ (NEESAP, 2007:9). Within this approach it is expected that learners should participate in these activities. However, Ketlhoilwe (2007) revealed that there has been a normalisation of environmental education into existing school culture through equating waste-management activities with environmental education. This generally entails cleaning activities by learners to maintain ‘clean schools’, which is directly associated with environmental education. Drawing from detailed case study data in one rural primary school with Standard 6 learners, I used Cultural Historical Activity Theory to investigate and explain how learners participate in these waste-management activities. Findings from this study revealed that attempts by teachers to meet the policy imperative through prescription of rules, and ascribing roles to learners in waste-management activities, create tensions. This gave rise to an elusive object of learner participation, as the purpose for their participation in these activities is not clear

An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Evangelical Pastors’ Competencies in Biblical Male Sexuality and Spiritual Formation

The purpose of this interpretative phenomenological analysis study was to understand how Evangelical pastors’ knowledge of biblical male sexuality, pedagogical knowledge, and relational knowledge affected their ministry praxis of teaching, educating, and discipling men in living sexually pure lives from a biblical perspective. Biblical sexuality is a significant component in the spiritual formation of Christian men. Current studies show that sexuality remains an awkward topic in Evangelical churches today. As a result, Christian men are not getting the help they need in this critical part of their spiritual development. Participants (N=7) were male Evangelical pastors serving as senior pastors in small churches with no professional counselors on staff. The competencies in teaching, educating, and discipling Christian men regarding male sexuality from a biblical perspective are generally defined as having the comprehensive knowledge of what the bible teaches about male sexuality as well as having the technical skills to educate men about biblical male sexuality through relational spiritual formation, and discipleship. The theories that guided this study are Shulman’s (1986) Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Solid Pastors Ministry’s (2018) Relational Competency (RK)
