Prof MM van Wyk between all the participants who attended his workshop
As part of the capacity building endeavours in the College of Education, the Department of Graduate Studies have identified 22 colleagues who need support with academic writing skills for publications. Prof MM van Wyk, from Curriculum and Instructional Studies, initiated an academic support series. He plans to present five workshops to address various topics such as abstract writing, literature reviews, research methodologies and critical reading skills to analyse journal articles. The aim is to empower the colleagues to produce and publish one article in an accredited journal for 2013. On 30 April he presented a workshop about literature review and theoretical frameworks to seventeen of these colleagues.
