“…The other recognised stakeholder in the IDP process is community members as the end-users of municipal services. [19,20] opined that applying the IDP process involves different steps to yield the desired results successfully. In applying the IDP, neither prior to nor during the COVID-19 pandemic, community members are the primary stakeholders and beneficiaries of municipal services, reflected in the IDP, making it essential for them to participate throughout the IDP process.…”

“…Lastly, the National and Provincial government departments also play an important role in the IDP process. [20,26] assert that the government departments provide support and guidance, monitor the formulation and application of the IDP and facilitate the coordination and alignment of IDPs with the strategies and programmes of government departments. However, municipalities are advised to take control and play a leading role in the coordination and overall management of the development planning process.…”

This study is primarily aimed at comprehending the key stakeholders, involved in applying the Integrated Development Planning (IDP) process for improved community participation in the Tzaneen municipal area. It is argued in this study, that the IDP is centred on the priorities and desires of the communities. Communities have the opportunity to engage in identifying their most desired needs. The IDP process requires all stakeholders who live and do business within a municipal jurisdiction to partake in the design and execution of the municipal development plan, also known as the IDP. This study is grounded in the ladder of citizen participation theory, pioneered by Arnstein Sherry in 1969. Arnstein (1969)'s ladder of citizen participation theory talks about community involvement in the planning process in the United States. This empirical study was conducted in the Tzaneen municipal area, South Africa, and four hundred and ten (410) participants were sampled in the area through probability and non-probability sampling techniques. The study adopted a mixed-method research approach. The data was collected and analysed until saturation was reached. Data were collected using surveys, semi-structured interviews, and a review of existing literature. This study revealed that more than half (56 %) of participants indicated that they were not consulted and encouraged to participate in the IDP process as relevant stakeholders. Consultation of stakeholders is often inadequate. Most of the participants are dissatisfied with their representatives' manner and level of involvement, and they do not feel well represented. This study concludes by recommending that municipalities adhere to the Municipal Systems Act (2000) and the Republic of South Africa (1996) Constitution, both of which require municipalities to actively involve stakeholders in the planning process to provide services sustainably and satisfactory. The Batho Pele principles should be followed to guarantee a harmonious relationship between the municipality and its stakeholders. Stakeholders will have reasonable expectations regarding service delivery due to effective consultation.

“…Furthermore, lack of focus on community needs and priorities; improper implementation and monitoring; illconceived developmental outcomes, and poor links between the IDP and the budget can have negative impacts on development (Subban & Theron 2016). However, Asha and Makalela (2020) found that the implementation of the IDP is important to enhance municipal service delivery as it identifies key developmental objectives, which are translated into programmes and projects that accelerate service delivery.…”

Background: In South Africa, poor service delivery has been a major problem in many municipalities, partly because of corruption, political patronage and skills deficits at local administrative levels.Aim: This study aimed to critically assess the extent of service delivery deficit and find ways to improve service delivery in the study area and beyond.Setting: This study is framed on the ideals of theory of social contract that states the relationship between the state and society. In this line, this study highlights Weber's theory of bureaucracy and the new public management (NPM) that gets its theoretical foundations from public choice and principal-agent theories. Methods:The study used primary data collected from 120 respondents. A descriptive quantitative method was used using questionnaire and content analysis of official documentations. Results:The study finds that residents in the study area are not satisfied with the level of current municipal services provided. In addition, the study reveals that the municipality does not generate enough funds because of non-payment for the services rendered that will substantially reduce basic municipal services provision. Furthermore, contrary to the common belief that rural municipal residents demand free services, this study finds that residents are willing to pay modest fees for the quality services rendered. Conclusion:The residents in the Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality (DR JSMLM) value essential services such as water and electricity more than other services. The status of service delivery in the municipality is rated poor. However, the residents still believe that there are possibilities for the improvements in the service delivery if the municipality adheres to its Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the years ahead.

“…The need for educational facilities increases with an increase in the population. Though Indonesia has a large education system and the government itself is providing funds for public education institutions which are operating in all regions of the world, the performance of all the public educational institutions is not satisfactory (Alvi & Gillies, 2021;Asha & Makalela, 2020;Chilimba, Dunga, & Mafini, 2020;Dinsmore, 2017). Students' self-regulated learning has become an essential part of student's success or accomplishments in the education sector and therefore, needs the attention of policymakers and academics (Abulela & Harwell, 2020;Barr & Askell-Williams, 2020;Dong, Wu, Dong, & Tang, 2020;Thomas, Muls, Backer, & Lombaerts, 2021).…”

Students’ self-regulated learning has become an essential element of student’s success in the education sector and therefore, needs the attention of policymakers and scholars alike. Thus, the current study investigates into the role of different learning styles such as just-in-time learning, case-based learning, inquiry learning, project-based learning and problem-based learning on students’ self-regulated learning in the context of public sector universities in Indonesia. Questionnaires are used by researchers to gather the data from respondents. The purposive sampling technique is used to select the student respondents who are using math journaling. Researchers also execute the PLS-SEM for the purpose of analysis and tests the validity, reliability and relationships among variables. The results indicate that all learning styles such as just-in-time learning, case-based learning, inquiry learning, project-based learning and problem-based learning have a positive nexus with students’ self-regulated learning in public sector universities in Indonesia. This study provides valuable insights to policymakers regarding formulating new policies about student self-regulated learning. Keywords: Just-in-time learning, inquiry learning, project-based learning, problem-based learning, students’ self-regulated learning
