This study was undertaken with the purpose of fixing the
attention, especially that of headmasters, on the importance of
class visitation. The emphasis is on class visitation as a means
of staff development, being the task of the headmaster. Firstly
a general orientation is given of the research and the design
of the research, followed by a discussion on the evaluation of
staff as a prerequisite for staff development.
A few terms are discussed, namely in-service training, staff
training, and staff development. Methods of staff development
are subsequently examined. Methods of staff development within
and without school environment are deliberated, and attention is
given to aspects which could be detrimental to staff
development, as well as staff members who should be developed.
A brief outline is given of the clinical management system and
the components of the clinical management system. Attention is
also given to the cycle of class visitation and the empirical
research concerning this aspect. It is shown that the class
visitation cycle consists of five stages, namely the
pre-perception stage, the stage of perception, an analysis of
the accumulated data, the follow-up or post-perception stage and
finally the replanning of a cycle. Advantages and disadvantages
of class visitation are highlighted.
Hereafter the empirical investigation is discussed, and it is
introduced by explaining the design of the research, which
includes the measuring instrument, population and statistical
technique. Frequency analysis and cross-correlations are
reviewed. Cross-correlations were done with regard to the age of
the headmasters as well as their years of experience as
headmasters.
By means of the empirical research, certain deficiencies were
exposed regarding class visitation as a means of staff
development, and suggestions and recommendations are offered
to overcome those.
