BackgroundOwing to the inadequate schooling system and the under-preparedness of students in South African high schools, Higher Education Institutions are faced with students who do not meet the minimum criteria for acceptance into a mainstream programme and need support from an extended foundation programme.ObjectivesThe study described the support of students by lecturers in an extended 5-year nursing foundation programme.MethodA qualitative, exploratory and descriptive design was applied. Purposive sampling was conducted, and eight nursing students who completed the foundation year took part in semi-structured individual interviews. Each interview took around 30 min and was digitally recorded. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using open coding. Ethical principles and trustworthiness were maintained throughout the study.ResultsThe findings of this study indicated that experiences varied on a foundation programme. Participants expressed support in a nurturing environment in which the lecturers were open and approachable with a positive attitude. Lecturers could support students by being caring and advising in learning methods around the programme. Lecturers could focus on the method of peer support which should be encouraged beyond the programme so as to provide a sense of camaraderie amongst students.ConclusionData revealed that support of lecturers in a foundation programme needs creative methods to make the learning environment nurturing for students. This provides for students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to prepare for their studies at a university level. Insights gained from this study, which highlight the importance of supporting foundation students, could benefit all nurse educators offering foundation programmes.

“…Thus, on the one hand, adult students have built well-developed learning strategies that had previously served them well in other settings (in other schooling), and the teacher could help them use these strategies to their advantage. On the other hand, adults are less confident in their intellectual abilities, and this might make them anxious about learning (Dobrovská and Andres 2016 ). In relation to the anxieties, insecurities, and fears of the adults who return to school, the adult educator Stephen Brookfield ( 2005 ) discussed the term “impostor syndrome”, denoting a collection of feelings of inadequacy, of chronic self-doubt which make people think that their accomplishments are nowhere near as good as those of the people around them.…”

The aim of our paper is to share our experience with fostering motivation of mature students to develop new competences to use technology in learning. For some mature age students, technology may be another source of anxiety, because they do not have sufficient previous experience in this respect. This is the reason why, an important role for a teacher of mature age learners is that of preparing them to use the technology in a non-threatening context meant to build positive attitudes in adults towards both technology and learning. Our pilot study refers to the changes of attitudes adult learners might have experienced when their fears to use technology had been reduced.

“…A teacher, as an important factor in the educational process, may significantly contribute to the quality of education and its efficiency improvement by introducing new teaching aids, teaching methods, modern technologies etc. into the teaching process (Bajtoš & Kmecová, 2013, Dobrovská & Andres, 2016. Khairutdinova, Selivanova and Abildina (2016) performed a research using an educational experiment.…”

Introduction: The paper’s introduction contains a set of notes concerning high-quality preparation of pupils and students and doing best to achieve adequate efficiency related to the educational process, where pupils’ or students’ personality development and activation together with their key-competence and self-cultivation development, as well as preparation for the labour market, successful versatility plays a role of great importance. The pupils’ or the students’ capability to work with information included in the natural language test is considered to be of a great importance for their further professional or private life. Therefore, any school is responsible for the quality of education and teachers should work with adequate and up-to-date, high quality teaching and learning aids.Purpose: The purpose of the study was to monitor and verify the didactic efficiency of the proposed chapters for the Economics textbook at a technical secondary school in Hlohovec, as well as to check the quality of the proposed textbook in relation to the outputs of the educational process.Methods: The following methods and techniques related to the investigation of a developed Economics textbook have been applied: natural pedagogic experiment; questionnaire; cloze test; didactic test and statistical methods for data processing.Conclusions: The research has shown that the created textbook for Economics is appropriate for students. We believe that introducing newly developed textbooks/teaching materials into the teaching process (despite modern types of media) may contribute to improving the quality and efficiency of the educational process.
