Title: Recognition of Prior Learning for Community-based Paralegals Authors: Department of Applied Legal Studies Abstract: SUMMARY The South African paralegal education landscape is fragmented, with too few programmes accredited by the Higher Education Quality Council (HEQC) or the Quality Council for Trade and Occupations (QCTO) to provide the requisite educational support for the institutionalisation and sustainability of an array of paralegal services rendered by the paralegal sector. This, inarguably, contributes to the growing unmet primary legal and quasi-legal needs of South African society.

Title: Cryptology: A didactical transposition into a grade 10 school mathematics classroom Authors: Whittles, Kalvin Abstract: For an array of activities such as, for example, PIN numbers used in automated transactions, there is vast underlying mathematical machinery that ensures secrecy and security of such activities. Mr. Whittles pursued the issue of making some of this mathematics of coding and decoding cryptology accessible to school pupils. The traditional way of making novel high-level mathematics accessible for the school situation through elementarization is not followed. He argues for and successfully implements a procedure that takes as starting point the historical development of the mathematical topic and the experiences pupils have of this topic. Design principles emanating from the French and Dutch mathematics didactics traditions were used to develop classroom materials. These materials were refined through feed forwarding until the activities were in classroom workable form for meaningful mathematics learning. The major outcome of the study is the representation and description of an avenue to be followed for introducing new content in the school mathematics curriculum. This points in the direction of the need for research-driven curriculum development rather than the current path of curriculum declaration and tinkering. The work is unique in that it is only the second one in the past 25 to 30 years that considers curriculum-making with due respect to the historical development of a domain of mathematics and the experiences pupils have of the domain.

Title: Cryptology: cryptosystem Authors: Whittles, Kalvin Abstract: The topic of Cryptology, although new in the field of mathematics, has been at the forefront of developments in the mathematics arena. It is important to understand how cryptology is constituted and what the role of the cryptosystem within cryptology is. It is argued that the cryptosystem together with the development of different ciphers help to build a better understanding of cryptology. Important for this is to understand how the cryptosystem is constituted within cryptology. The role and position of the cipher key is explored and is further espoused by way of an example using the rule, , as a cipher key.

Title: South African teacher application process: the interview. Authors: Whittles, Kalvin Abstract: An important aspect of teacher training is the preparation of teachers for the teacher post application process. Besides the formal application process, shortlisting and interviews form an integral part of this process. The video captures only the interview process where five candidates are interviewed in front of the whole class. The candidates for the interviews and panel members were all students in their final year of study towards a teacher education qualification preparing teachers to teach their specialisation subjects to grade 10 - 12 learners in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase. Although the interview was done with FET students, the video could be useful for all students in teacher training. Description: Video Lecture
