Abstract
M.Ed.
The aim of the study is to try and find out reasons and causes why secondary school
teachers in the Bethlehem district — QwaQwa resist the implementation of Outcomes
Based Education. To achieve the aim of the study, I will use the questionnaire,
interviews and try to view opinions of other experts by referring to literature.
My hypothesis is that secondary school teachers in the Bethlehem district - QwaQwa in
the Free-State Province, resist the implementation of OBE because they were not
consulted about it. They were not involved in the decision-making process, the
formulation and designing of OBE curriculum, and therefore, they feel they are not
suitably qualified. They think their only solution to make the government realise their
importance, is to resist the introduction of OBE.
