    Investigating the challenges of teaching and learning business studies in South African rural high schools: in pursuit of enhanced classroom practices
    2023
     | Caddo Gap Press
    Recent studies have brought to the limelight some concerns regarding the quality of education and academic achievements of learners in numerous rural schools throughout South Africa. Business Studies is considered to be a crucial elective subject during the Further Education and Training phase of Basic Education in South Africa. This course equips learners with the requisite knowledge and competencies about business-oriented professions in the realm of higher education. This study employs a discursive approach to investigate the difficulties encountered in instructing business studies as a Grade 12 subject in diverse rural secondary schools across South Africa. The research delved into various approaches that can be utilised to augment the pedagogy and acquisition of Business Studies among twelfth-grade learners. The subject of Business Studies is included in the curriculum of secondary schools throughout South Africa. The inclusion of the subject is imperative for individuals pursuing careers in business-related programmes or qualifications at institutions of higher education. The authors examined the notion of business studies as a scholastic discipline, the difficulties associated with instructing and comprehending business studies within educational institutions, and methods to augment the pedagogy and comprehension of the subject. This field of study offers a solid base for individuals who aspire to pursue professions in the domains of business or commerce. Therefore, the aforementioned subject holds significant importance for learners seeking admission into tertiary institutions, particularly for those pursuing qualifications in business and commerce-related fields. Several challenges exist in the educational system, including a shortage of qualified teachers, insufficient professional development opportunities, inadequate learning and teaching support materials, overcrowded classrooms, and learner disinterest. The research suggests that rural schools should be provided with sufficient resource materials and that business studies teachers should be capacitated, among other recommendations.
