Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Music teaching in groups is an important aspect of the development of the child in Foundation Phase teaching. Early childhood has been described as the most critical period in the child’s musical development. With the introduction of Outcomes based Education in South Africa, the curriculum regarding the presentation of music classes has changed. Similarities between music group classes and Gestalt Play Therapy were investigated, with the aim of incorporating concepts of Gestalt Play Therapy into music group classes. Legislation was studied in order to determine the expectations of the South African government, and specifically the education departments, relating to music teaching. In the present curriculum, the weight allocation for music in the Foundation Phase was significantly reduced from what it was previously. Teachers must structure their own music programme into their curriculum. Investigation into the presentation of creative music group classes, with the incorporation of the principles of Gestalt Play Therapy, was undertaken in this research study. Gestalt Play Therapy is a holistic approach that combines the principles of Gestalt theory with Play Therapy. Research was undertaken to investigate whether specific stages in Gestalt Play Therapy could be successfully combined with music group classes. This research emphasizes that the developmental stages of the child, specifically physical, neurological, cognitive and language development, should be taken into account when presenting lessons, and that children may be guided towards a higher level of integration and balance in themselves. Research into OBE principles suggests that the way forward could be a continuation of the OBE model, but with certain amendments. An inductive study of practical observation and presentation of creative group classes was undertaken. It was found that most teachers were not adequately qualified to present music classes, and creativity was not satisfactorily addressed in their lessons.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Musiekonderrig in groepe is ‘n belangrike aspek rakende die ontwikkeling van die kind in Grondslagfase onderrig. Vroeë kinderjare word beskryf as die mees kritieke periode in die kind se musikale ontwikkeling. Met die inwerkingstelling van Uitkomsgebaseerde onderrig in Suid-Afrika, het die kurrikulum aangaande die aanbieding van musiekklasse verander. Ooreenkomste tussen musiekonderrig in groepe en Gestalt Spelterapie is ondersoek, met die doel om konsepte van Gestalt Spelterapie in musiekonderrig in groepe te inkorporeer. Wetgewing is bestudeer om die verwagtinge, aangaande musiekonderrig, van die Suid Afrikaanse regering, en spesifiek die onderwysdepartemente, te bepaal. Binne die huidige kurrikulum is die gewig toegeken aan musiek, binne die Grondslagfase, aansienlik verminder van voorheen. Onderwysers moet self hul musiekprogramme binne hulle kurrikulum struktureer. ‘n Ondersoek is geloods om die aanbieding van kreatiewe musiekonderrig in groepe te kombineer met die beginsels van Gestalt Spelterapie. Gestalt Spelterapie is ‘n holistiese benadering wat die beginsels van Gestalt teorie kombineer met Spelterapie. Navorsing is gedoen om te bepaal of spesifieke stadia in Gestalt Spelterapie suksesvol gekombineer kan word met musiekonderrig in groepe. Hierdie navorsing benadruk dat die ontwikkelingsstadia van die kind, spesifiek fisiologies, neurologies, kognitief en taalontwikkeling, in ag geneem moet word wanneer lesse aangebied word, en dat kinders hierdeur gelei kan word na ‘n hoër vlak van innerlike integrasie en balans. v Navorsing gedoen betreffende die beginsels van Uitkomsgebaseerde onderrig is aanduidend dat hierdie onderrigmodel wel voortgesit sou kon word, maar met bepaalde aanpassings. ‘n Induktiewe studie van praktiese waarneming sowel as aanbieding van kreatiewe groepsklasse is onderneem. Daar is bevind dat die meeste onderwysers nie voldoende gekwalifiseerd is om musiekklasse aan te bied nie, en kreatiwiteit is ook nie bevredigend in hulle lesse aangespreek nie.

Full textGoal: The aim of this study is to use the Gestalt approach to explore, and to make use of sandplay to describe and observe the world of the adolescent client, in order to lead the social worker to gain insight and understanding to the world of the adolescent. This study was done because the researcher observed that sandplay achieved very positive effects with children, adolescents and adults. This study was motivated by the desire to provide recommendations to the social workers in practice about the value and use of sandplay in the exploration of the world of the adolescent The literature study focussed on a) the adolescent life-phase in order to determine the specific developmental aspects and characteristics of the adolescent, b) to define the possibilities of sandplay as an exploration medium, as well as c) assessing the Gestalt approach as orientation theory and as practice theory with sandplay. In this research, a qualitative methodology was used combined with a case-study research design. Sandplay was used as a medium for exploration with three adolescent participants. They were selected by means of a non-probability sampling. The researcher used detailed, in-depth, data gathering methods which included six measuring instruments. These instruments included: a standardised questionnaire to give an indication of personality-traits of the participants; two questionnaires to determine the behaviour, thought patterns and domestic circumstances of the participants; semi-structured interview-schedules to explore the sandtrays of the participants; photographs to accurately capture and record the sandtrays; as well as observations recording the behaviour and non-verbal communication of the participants. The researcher concludes that, according to the Gestalt-approach, exploration with sandplay is an effective method to explore the world of the adolescent. This method provides adequate information to the social worker to understand the world of the adolescent client. Sandplay, according to the Gestalt approach, contributes value to social work practice, because it enhances the effectiveness of exploration and intervention. Sandplay provides the social worker with comprehensive information about the adolescent, and enables the social worker to identify the core problem of the adolescent expeditiously. Sandplay involves the adolescent in a sensory, cognitive and emotional manner, which contributes to more information being exposed that leads to more effective interventions. This method is also novel, interesting and challenging to the social worker and the adolescent. The researcher recommends sandplay for the exploration of the world of the adolescent be preceded by establishing a therapeutic relationship with the adolescent. Once a relationship is established a number of sandtrays can be built, and thoroughly explored. The first sandtray should be non-directive. Directive sandtrays are subsequently recommended to explore specific themes and to handle trauma and/or issues which the adolescent may experience. It is also recommended that the social worker utilizes hypotheses, which can be postulated from the symbolic meanings of miniatures, as well as interpretations from other sandplay research in his/her exploration of sandtrays. The social worker, who uses sandplay to explore the world of the adolescent according to the Gestalt approach, should be knowledgeable about sandplay, the symbolic meaning of miniatures, sandplay research and the Gestalt approach as orientation theory and practice theory. This study was done with three Afrikaans-speaking adolescent foster children, and the findings may not apply to other populations. Additional research needs to be done with a wider sample of adolescents, that covers different cultures, language and domestic backgrounds.

Full textTradisionele remediërings-programme spreek slegs akademiese en perseptuele tekortkominge aan en nie emosionele behoeftes nie. Bestaande literatuur dui daarop dat die meeste kinders met leerprobleme gepaardgaande emosionele, gedrags- en sosiale probleme ervaar. Daar is egter 'n gebrek aan konsensus tussen onderwysers, ouers en professionele persone op die gebied van leerprobleme, oor die tipe emosionele en gedragsprobleme waarmee hierdie leerders te kampe het. Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel watter emosies tevoorskyn mag kom, tydens Gestalt-speel-terapie-sessies met leerders wat remediëringsonderrig ontvang. Drie respondente van drie verskillende remediërende programme het aan die studie deelgeneem. Data is ingesamel van terapeutiese sessies, sowel as van ongestruktureerde onderhoude met ouers, onderwysers en professionele persone in die veld van leerprobleme. Die bevindings van die studie blyk in ooreenstemming te wees met bestaande literatuur, naamlik dat kinders met leerprobleme bykomende emosionele en sosiale probleme ondervind. Aanbevelings is gemaak oor hoe Gestalt spelterapie geïmplementeer kan word as 'n addisionele ondersteuning vir kinders wat remediërende intervensie ontvang.

Die doel van die navorsingstudie was dus om kennis uit te brei rakende die benutting van gestaltspelterapie in die hulpverlening aan visueel gestremde kinders. 'n Basiese kwalitatiewe navorsingstudie met 'n verkennende en beskrywende aard is onderneem om te beskryf hoe gestaltspelterapie benut word met betrekking tot visueel gestremde kinders. 'n Verteenwoordigende steekproef is getrek, volgens 'n doelgerigte nie-waarskynlikheidsmetode, vanuit die populasie bestaande uit gestaltspelterapeute wat al van tevore hulp aan visueel gestremde kinders verleen het. Data-insameling het plaasgevind deur middel van semi-gestruktureerde telefoniese onderhoude. Die versamelde data is volgens die Tematiese Inhoudsanalise ontleed deur verbandhoudende temas (ooreenkomstig die doel van die studie) in getranskribeerde onderhoude te soek. Die algemene gevolgtrekking wat vanuit die empiriese bevindinge gemaak kan word, is dat gestaltspelterapie wel in die hulpverlening aan visueel gestremde kinders benut kan word.

Full textMany children in South-Africa are admitted in the Intensive Care Unit after a traumatic event. The Church is called to care for these children in the form of pastoral care. In practise children are often neglected and do not receive the care that they are entiteld to. One of the main reasons is because pastors and religious workers use an intervention method that depends mainly on the verbal skills of the child. The six steps of intervention research was used to develop a pastoral model in the form of course. The innitial intervention model was tested in case studies and refined. The focus of this model is to use play as a mode of intervention from a Gestalt approach. The course will enable pastors and religious workers to care for children more effectively. The main concepts of the research forms the basis of this model with practical excercises.

Full textHumor, geringskat in terapie, is 'n uiters sterk hulpmiddel. Aangesien die behoefte om vermaak te word deur humor universeel is, is die terugkeer van 'n positiewe sin vir humor 'n deurdagte doel vir terapie. Die doel van die Gestalt eksplorasie is bewuswording. Van die begin af sluit Gestalt teorie liggaamservaringe soos lag en emosioneie uitdrukking deur humor in. In Gestalt Teorie verwys 'n kontakgrens versteuring soos defleksie, na die wyse waarop individue kontak met die omgewing vermy, om sodoende bewuswording te vermy. Die doel van die studie was om die implementering van humor as deflektiewe tegniek, waar kontak grens versteuringe en weerstande voorkom, as verandering teweeg kan bring. Aspekte van humor, naamlik die moontlikheid om die komiese waar te neem, sowel as om dit te produseer, versterk terapie and vehoudingsbou, beide aspekte help die klient om te deflekteer op so 'n wyse dat emosioneie goedvoel bevorder word.

The major purpose of the research were to explore the counseling process of a child with divorced parents in the Gestalt play therapy, i.e., to examine the important issues raised in the therapy and to analyze the client’s self-accommodation process based on the Gestalt Cycle. Moreover, the research aimed at scrutinizing the relationships between the client and the counselor, so as to increase the counselor’s self-awareness as well as enhance the counseling skills. The research adopted the discover-oriented process method. The participant of this research was a 4th grade child with divorced parents. The weekly-based play therapy consisted of 12sessions, 50 minutes per session. Each session was videotaped, all the paintings, creations and sand trays became photographs for further analysis and preservation. The results were listed as follow: 1.The Gestalt play therapy enhanced the participant to externalize her difficulties of life adjustment with her families, friends, teachers and the environment. 2.The Gestalt play therapy helped the participant to fulfill her unfinished business and helped her integrate the psychological, spiritual and physical aspects, thus to support the theory of the Gestalt Cycle. 3.The relationship between the participant and the counselor was harmonious and close, with intense interaction throughout the sessions. 4.Both the background of counselor’s knowledge and the unfinished business of the counselor had some impact on the counseling process; the counselor enhanced her level of self-awareness and proficiency in the Gestalt play therapy. Finally, based on the findings, several suggestions for the divorced parents, school guidance and counseling, and further research were addressed.

The reconciliation of the contrasting approach of world- and human views regarding individualism (Western) and collectivism (Africa) is being questioned. In this research a qualitative approach was used. The objectives were to explore, describe and to explain the use of gestalt play therapy with the adolescent who suffered trauma due to the loss of one or both parents, in a multicultural context. Case studies were done on three adolescents in eight therapeutic sessions of Gestalt play therapy. The finding and conclusion of this research showed that Gestalt play therapy could be used with the traumatised adolescent in a multicultural context. The child could be understood from a holistic point of view as the individual as well as a member of a cultural group.

Full textDuring the initial stages of Gestalt play therapy qualitative assessment is vital within the therapeutic relationship, to gain information about the child in order to strengthen this relationship, enhance awareness and for further interventions. Research confirmed the lack and problems with current assessment tools, within various helping professions, which were addressed in this study. The board game, as a Gestalt assessment tool, was compiled for the primary school child and focuses on the therapeutic relationship, sensory stimulation and the process of the child (Schoeman-3-aspect model). Information was gathered by a literature review, semi structured interviews with two professionals and by observing the application of the board game. Valuable information was gathered concerning the child and was strengthened by literature. Relevant conclusions and recommendations were made. This board game can be effectively used by play therapists in the initial stages of assessment with the primary school child, for relationship building, sensory stimulation and determining the child's process.
