Assessment accommodations for autistic learners in South African schools
This study provides insight into stakeholder experiences and suggests that current assessment policies may inadvertently exclude autistic learners. The findings support the need for inclusive, contextually relevant assessment strategies. The contribution aligns with the focus of the journal on disability inclusion by advancing evidence-based recommendations that promote full participation of neurodivergent learners in education systems, particula…
The association between early childhood education and grade 5 science achievement
Inequities in early childhood education (ECE) quality and access, especially for learners from socioeconomically and culturally diverse backgrounds, are closely linked to persistent gaps in science achievement in South Africa. There is little data from low- and middle-income contexts regarding how particular early learning experiences affect later science performance, even though international research confirms that high-quality ECE can improve s…
Social connectedness as a pathway to teacher resilience in challenged contexts
Study explored a social connectedness intervention in six peri-urban South African schools. • Teachers showed improved motivation, emotional regulation, and professional efficacy. • Intervention fostered trust, collaboration, and context-specific professional support. • Low-cost, Ubuntu-inspired model helped sustain teacher well-being in under-resourced settings. This study explores the role of social connectedness in fostering teacher resilience…

The role of mentoring in developing leaders’ emotional intelligence
Emotional awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and resilience are key components of emotional intelligence. Twenty-first-century leaders require such competencies, and prior research establishes a positive impact of emotional intelligence on leadership and well-being. The mechanisms through which leaders develop these competencies remain unclear. Mentoring, a developmental tool linked with well-being, has not been extensively studied for its…
Developing a Novel Model for ICT Integration in South African Education
ICT integration in the classroom is viewed as a panacea towards resolving education challenges. A quantitative approach using South African Trends in International Mathematics and Science Studies (TIMSS) 2019 Grades 5&9 data with a positivist philosophical stance was used to explore ICT use. For a long time, most school research took the form of small-scale qualitative studies, such as case studies or critical policy studies; however, research in…
Time to flock
This study applies an Afrocentric theory (Relationship-Resourced Resilience [RRR]) to analyze teacher resilience in a less-researched context in the Global South. The Isithebe-intervention study in South African schools investigated how time together to strengthen relationships promotes teacher resilience despite structural disparities. Teachers were conveniently sampled, and South African schools were purposively sampled using concurrent mixed-m…
