- ItemBeroepsidentiteitsontwikkeling by Xhosa-sprekende adolessente(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1996) Botha, Marelise; Ackermann, C. J.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Education. Dept. of Educational Psychology.Until the present time very little research has been done on the process of the development of an occupational identity among black adolescents. The attainment of an own identity can be considered to be one of the crucial development tasks of adolescence. For an adolescent it is important to know who he is, what he can do and what he will be in the future. In other words, the most important problem preoccupying an adolescent is thus finding an answer to the question "Who am I?" The development of an occupational identity is considered to be one of the most important areas of identity development contributing to the attainment of an own identity. The attainment of an occupational identity during adolescence is important for the adolescent's future role in the world of work and a concomitant productive life. Therefore to complete the search for an occupational identity the adolescent must find answers to the questions, "What can I do?" and "What shall I do?".
- ItemA comparison of the personality types of a group of adolescents as yielded by the Murphy-Meisgeier Vraelys vir Kinders and the Jung-Persoonlikheidsvraelys(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1997) Kritzinger,Anton Jacobus; van Heerden, A. E.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Education. Dept. of Educational Psychology.There is a growing need for information on the multicultural educational situation. This has made measurement instruments which can be applied across language and cultural barriers essential. For this reason a comprehensive research project has been launched by the Department of Educational Psychology and Specialised Education at the University of Stellenbosch. Using an appropriate personality questionnaire, the project aims to determine trends in regard to the personality types of Xhosa, Afrikaans and English speaking secondary school pupils from these various communities. An important component of this project was to compare the Murphy-Meisgeier Vraelys vir Kinders (MMvK) - a new instrument in South Africa - to the Jung-Persoonlikheidsvraelys (JPV), which has been in use in South Africa since 1983 in a career counselling context. Both questionnaires are based on the typology of C.G. Jung. The aim was to determine whether the two questionnaires would yield similar results. If so, the arsenal of personality questionnaires - especially those that indicate personality type - that could be used with so-called coloured learners, would be extended. In addition, it was deemed important to collect as much information as possible about the MMvK, so that this questionnaire could be used with confidence in South Africa in the future. Furthermore, as the concept of personality type holds so many implications for education, all information regarding personality type of South African learners is regarded as important.
