Where are the children? Exploring the boundaries between text and context in the study of place and space in four different countries
In this article, we demonstrate how the cultural conceptions of a team of five researchers from different cultural and national backgrounds can be used as a source of knowledge during a collective, self‐reflexive analytical process. While collectively analysing texts describing daily life produced by first‐grade children and their parents in China, Norway, South Africa and the United States, the research team engaged in a collectively negotiated …

A mixed method approach was employed to gather data by means of questionnaires from 40 learners. Results showed that although mechanisms were intro…
South African Educators' Voice on the Potential Role of Traditional Healers (THs) in Education Support Services
The aim of this qualitative research was to explore and describe perceptions of the potential role of traditional healers in education support services.

The South African Black Adolescent Street Child as Problematic Education Situation
There are approximately 6 000 to 10 000 street children in the Republic of South Africa. Because of their obvious presence there may be the misconception amongst the South African public that it is a recent phenomenon, limited to South Africa and directly related to the socio-political changes of the last couple of years. The street child phenomenon is, however, an international problem which occurs world-wide in developed and developing countrie…
