    An investigation of the status and practice of life orientation in South African schools in two provinces
    (University of the Western Cape, 2005) Rooth, Edna; Lazarus, Sandy; Ganie, Laila; Faculty of Education
    The study aimed to investigate the status and practice of life orientation in South African schools. Life orientation is a quintessential new learning area, introduced as part of curriculum transformation in South Africa, and is intented to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes for successful living and learning. Preliminary observations suggested that life orientation has not been optimally implemented in schools, and the low status legacy of life orientation's constituents added further impetus to the rationale for the study.
