ABSTRACT
The primary goal of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of Grades 2 and 3 multigrade teachers, learners and their parents with regard to multigrade teaching. Secondly, the study aimed at developing an intervention programme for multigrade teachers for effective teaching. Key theories and models of multigrade teaching served as cornerstones for this study. This research was a qualitative study embedded within an interpretive case study. Data were collected from a purposively selected sample through in-depth face-toface semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews using an audiotape recorder, and analysis of relevant policy documents. The interviews were conducted after class observations at the schools and recorded digitally using an interview guide, transcribed verbatim, translated and coded. Data collected from interviews and focus groups were first transcribed in Otjiherero and then translated into English. Fifteen classroom observations were carried out in order to understand the nature of multigrade teaching classroom practices. A video camera was used to capture classroom activities and interactions between teachers and learners. The video recorded lessons were analysed verbatim. The data were analysed using the Tech’s data analysis method. The four criteria of trustworthiness, namely, credibility, transferability, confirmability and dependability were used to establish the trustworthiness of this study.
