o Existing / individual, team:Gavin Bradshaw, Barry Morkel: Ongoing involvement in communitypolicing project and workshop-* in conflict resolution/managementcontribute to the stature of conflict component of some modules

o Future / team.l-his prog"amme opens major opportunities for future projects intoSouth African politics. For instance, a team pro.lect to "document'(through focus group research methodology) student experience ofcontemporary student political struggles will serve tripfe functions ofintroducing Magister students to research, conducting essentialresearch and providing publication possibilities for members ofdepartment. Various other team projects are expected to emerge in thecours€ of students' implementation of the second year researchcomponents in the Magister programme.

1.1.3 New post-graduate growth to be effected by this programme

o This is a new programme. Judging by initial interest, we hope for 10-15Magister level students in 1998. Because this is a distance delivery mode,excellent marketing could raise this expectation.

1,2 (lnter)-Disciplinary nature of the programme

1.2.1 The disciplines which form the core modules of the progmmme

. Political studies, political economy and pofitical sociology, all anchored inPolitical Studies expertise, constitute the core modules.

. This programme has a strong focus on research and analytical theory andskif ls.

. The strength of this programme also lies in the range and diversity on offerin the form of electives.

1.2.2 The inter-disciplinary enrichment built into the programme

O . This programme articulates with the following disciplines:Geography, Sociology, Public administration, Religious Studies,Industrial relations

o lt also articulates with the following other Magister programmes:Development Studies, Public Administration, Conflict Studiesand Religious Studies.

1.3 Quality assurance

1.3.1 Forms of internal and external evaluation / consultationundertaken during the design of the programme, ensuring thehighest possible quality

. Prominent South African politics specialists are being approached to serveas external evaluators to module components.

. Programme staff have been requested to submit the module designs toexternal specialists This measure is to be strictly enforceC

1.3.2 Internal quality measures that are to be follored during theimplementation of the programmes (with feedback to staffl

Rigorous measures are to be implemented in this prograrnme'simplementation phase to ensure quafity control.. All programme academic staff are to be requested to submit regular quality

adherence reports.. A rigorous set of guidelines is to be drawn up by the programme leader.. The programme staff further intend requesting regular feedback from

learners who are to enroll for the programme.

1.3.3 Forms of external evaluation to ensure cyclical quality control ofthe programme

. After the first year of operation of the programme, and thereafter insuggested three-year cycles, an in-depth external evaluation will berequested. This type of assessment is likely to be undertaken by a SouthAfrican academic of high standing.

. On another level, feedback will be requested from second, third and fourthsemester students.

. Contact is to be retained with the qualified candidates in order to obtainfeedback on the usefulness of the prograrnme in job applications andcareer enhancement.

1.4 Inter-institutional cooperation agreements relevant to theprogramme

Agreements have not yet been entered into This awaits the approval of thisprogramrne.. Upon formal approval, the programme leader will approach a range of

specialists from other instiiutions of higher education to give inputs into theconcentrated contact period.

. The programme staff intends giving special attention to engagingspecialists from Vista University, University of Fort Hare and RhodesUniversity.

2. A QUALITY LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

2.1 The prerequisites and / or co-requisites for this programme (also, ifrelevant, exclusive combinations)

. B.-degree or equivalent

2.2Madules cross-listed on other programmes

. From other programmes or discipline specialists, the following electives.Advanced public management (from Magister in Public administration)Religion, conflict and transformation (from Magister in ReligiousStudies) Devefopment policy (Magister in Development Studies)The political geography of space, states and nations (Geography)Geographical Information Systems (Geography)Advanced conflict management and resolution skills (Magister inConffict)Assistance in presentation of research methodology (IDPR)For the multiple level practical skills modules, small contributions fromEnglish (professional communication) and UPC (writing researchessays)

. To other programmes (presented by Political Studies specialists), thefolfowing core modules:

International political economy (for Magister in Development Studies)Scenario and risk studies (for Magister in Development Studies)

2.2.1 Possibilities of accelerated progress for high achievers

o More specialised assignments will be negotiated with learners who show aneed for accelerated progress.

. Such learners will also be given the opportunity to become involved indepartmental research projects and to assist in undergraduate tutorials oroccasional guest lectures.

o These candidates will be encouraged to deliver conference papers and toprepare articles for submission to journals and other publications.

. High achievers will be allowed to accumulate a number of additionalcredits.

O 2.3 Academic development measures in place for the programme

. This programme has an integrated component ealled 'Practical skills" (seesecond page of Table 1) that offers a range of skif ls, including a numberthat are in the sphere of aeademic development.

2.4 Delivery mode(s) and factors to be considered for (semi) distancelearning

' This programme is only available in the semi-distance education mode.Concentrated contact sessions in all modufes that are scheduled for aspecific semester will be held over two twelve-day periods (Monday toSaturday, Sunday off , and Monday to Friday) per academic year. Thesecontact periods are envisaged for late February and early August. ThisprcEramme wil l also be block-release - al l modules to be delivered insemester form.

Short courses may be designed around a selection of module learningareas. Such short courses then would be available tc on-campus students(at a discounted rate) and to members of the public or business at full-rate.

3. DEVELOPMENTAL FOCUS

3.1 The stakeholders involved in the design of the programme

' The broad academic community as stakeholder provided indirect input intothe programme design. A survey of the Political Studies community inSouth Africa (conducted for research and publication purposes by

-Susan

Booysen) was used to identity a likely niche market for this programme.. Focus group research discussions were held with 1998 students in

Pofitical Studies.. Links with various NGOs in Port Elizabeth provided inputs regarding

learning needs.. Because of accelerated time-frames for programme development within

the university, other planned consultations were put on hold.

3.2 The specific development focus addressed in the programme

. Successful learners in this programme will be able to make development-oriented inputs into research in institutions, NGOs, government andpolitical parties. Activities of these organisations are overwhelminglydeveloprnental in nature.

. This programme is also expected to contribute to developmental needsthrough its specific attention to the dynamics of interaction between politicsand political economy. Such knowledge and understanding will advanceboth the understanding and the practice of devefopment.

. The research and practical skills that are integrated into the programmeconstitute some of the essential skills that are required in employment inthe field of development.

3.3 Learner development

3.3.1 Measures to increase equity goals with regard to learnerparticipation

. The programme will have a specific commitment to the recruitment ofwomen and African candidates. Given the shortage of postgraduateAfrican learners in South Africa, this programme anticipates making amajor contribution.

o Given the distance delivery mode of this programme, it can be expected toattract "equity candidates" who are already employed, but need toenhance their qualifications.

3.4 Staff development

3.4.1 The development measures to increase equity goals with regardto the staff complement

This programme, as a first step towards reaching equity goals, proposes theretention and advancement of junior equity candidates.

o The characteristics of Political Studies specialists (members of the formerDepartment of Political Studies) who €rry the core of this programmealready show fair progress towards equity goals. Two of the staff membersare women (white) and two of the staff members are black (men). One ofthese is in a temporary, tutor level appointment, but is suitable to beconsidered for a more permanent position. He has proven strengths inSouth African politics and community liaison. The second black man andthe white woman will have advanced responsibilities in the proposedprogramme. The programme will facilitate their further academicdeveloprilerrt. The programme also proposes their "twinning up" with guestlecturers of stature for some of the contact sessions.

. The programme also hopes to work towards retaining good African womenwho enter the programme. Such persons wifl be identified and encouragedto participate in, for instance, departmental research.

3-4.2 (tn)formal measures to improve staff performance (e.g. regularteam assessment meetings, attendance of curriculum renewalworkshops, conferences, etc.)

' Fortnightly team assessment workshop sessions are to be held to assessprogress and to workshop solutions to problems that may be encountered.

o lt is hoped that appropriate UPE institutions, for instance COAD, maybecome involved in assessment and development activities.

o Also see relevant details from section 1.3.2.

4. SUSTAINABILITY

4.1 Results of market research or survey to determine the demand andviability of new programmes

' Standard market research was not undertaken. Time constraints given thenew timeframe for implementation did not permit this form of assessment.

' The programme, however, does draw on the general survey undertakenby Susan Fouche on behalf of the Faculty of Arts. This survey pointed tothe void in the new national programme domain when it comes to specificAfrican Studies prograrnmes. This need could then be related to theequivalent need for a programme in South African politics, given thesurvey of Political Studies in South Africa that was undertaken by Booysen(see section 1 1 1).

4.2 Honlt the programme builds on current upE strengths

' The programme builds on specific strengths in South African pofitics and inpofitical economy in the poritical Studies circle at upE.

' In addition, the programrne draws on strengths in research methodology(theoretical and applied) amongst Politicat Studies specialists at UpE.

' lt egually draws on various module contributions from other sources ofstrengths within the faculty, for instance the f DpR.

4.3 New academic or support staff requirements to deliver theprogramme; the estimated cost invofved

Supplementary staff needs for this programme are modest. Some of theneeds f isted here will also be shared by a number of programmes. Staff needshave to be seen against the background of the flcllowinginree factors:(a) a series of programmes from 1999 wilf heavily rely on current"departmental" h u man resources,(b) the programme is to be in distance education rnode and will probably be

driven by UPE rather than a distance education organisation, anO(c) measures are to be put in pface for the empowerment and thereby

retention of staff that already fit equity definitions.

The staff needs thsefore are envisagedas..For relevant details, please see anaihed cost anatysis

Motivation of cost items:- The upgrading of the cunent half-day secretariaf position to a full-day

position (the cost of this has to be distributed equally between allprogrammes: the current programme is to e;.rry between one-third andone-guarter of this cost):Estimated additional cost per annum:(one-third of the estimated totalcosf of R20,000)The advancement, by equity criteria, and possible permanent appointmentinto a junior leclurer position of the current departmental tutor. Thisappointment could be combined with that of a programme coordinator. Theadvantage of upgrading the tutorship into a coordinator / junior lecturer isthat this person woufd also be able to assist in fecturing activities in boththe current programme and in the undsrgraduate programme in publicPolicy and Management (thereby assisting both the piogramme andpersonaf career advancement). The difference between the currentencumbent's salary and that of an upgraded position will be approximatelyR30,000 per annum. lt is advised that about two-thirds of the costs are tobe discounted against the cunent Magister:Estimated additionalcosf per annum: Rl g,000(tuo-thirds of R30,000)Appointmerrt of student assistant dedicated to theprogramme and the short courses that are to be generatec by theprogramme (these positions wiil preferably be filled by goodequity candidates from the new student intake).Estimated cosf per annum: R S,Zg0

R6,666

- The creation of an optional new tutorship that is to serve as a launchingpao for a studen* with the potential for a futu'e career in the programme.This is the creation of a special equity position. Special funding should bemade available for this type of position. lt is not to be included as anintegral part of the current budget.Estimated cost per annum: R28,000

- Guest lecturers to assist in the concentrated contact periods and "twin up"with relatively junior staff in the programme. This is motivated by the needfor equity staff development and for added programme prestige. The costsfor this can be partially covered by building 'short courses' into the contactperiods, and advertising these to the general public and to business. Thefollowing amount creates the potential to have seven such persons enrichthe programme in the course of the two semesters, for the first and thesecond year of study, thus R5,500 per occasion, which includes airfare,but not accommodation.Estimated cosf per annum: R38, 500

4.4 Needs plus cost factor if present library and other appropriateresources (capital equipment, space, etc.) are inadequate to run theprogramme effectively

PROVISIONAL:Capital equipment:Computers:One additional computer required R7,100LAN points:One additional LAN point R2,482

Learning materials and operational expenses:Learning materials R12,000Teaching-leaming media R 5,600Printing and stationery R 7,800Travell ing expenses R10,000Accommodation R 6,100Tefephone/Telefax R 9,600

Other:Student excursions R 4,200Books R 5,000Joumals/Periodicals R 4,000

4.5 Research funds directly,or indirectly linked to the programme

. Crrrrently there are no research funds that are directly linked to thisprogramme. As the programme develops, it is likely that research fundswill be sought for programme-related research.

4.5 Rationalisation effect (equipment, staff, departments, ccur^€s, etc.),if any, that will result frorn the introduction of this programme

o The "Department of Political Studies" simultaneously modularised andprogrammised. A number of old Honours courses were scrapped, andnsr/, outcome onented modules are being introduced. Because of therange of programmes that are run from Political Studies roots, workloadson lecturing staff are set to increase.

4.7 Summarised three-year financial projection of programme, withspecification of income (fees and subsidy) and expenditure (directcosts related to cost model)

Please see the attached cost analysis.

4.8 If not presently financially viable, motivate shortly what particularmerits the programme has that may justify cross-subsidisation byUPE

3. Staffing implications

lhis programme has limited staffing implications. lt relies on the full component ofPoliticaf Studies specialists. lt will need a programme co-ordinator (possibly to beshared between programmes), a student assistant, possibly a tutoras a specificstaff development measure and more secretarial time (the iatter to be sharedbetween various projects; see Section ll). High-profile guest lecturing is anintegral part of the design of this programme. R selecl number of high profileSouth Africa specialists will be brought in forthe core modules. ft is planr,-J thatthese guest lectures will be given a status of the 'summer series" or "Winterseries" of public lectures, and will be marketed to the private sector, possibly at aspecial "series' rate. (These staffing implications are relevant to a student intakeof 2O students or fewer.) (Please see details in attached Cost Analysis; also inSection ll of this document.)

3.4 Staff development

3.4.1 The development measures to increase equity goals with regardto the staff compfement

This programme, as a first step towards reaching equity goals, proposes theretention and advancement of junior equity candidates

o The characteristics of Political Studies specialists (members of the formerDepartment of Political Studies) who carry the core of this programmealready show fair progress towards equity goals Two of the staff membersare women (white) and two of the staff members are black (men). One ofthese is in a temporary, tutor levef appointment, but is suitable to beconsidered for a more permanent position He has proven strengths inSouth Afr ican pol i t ics and community l iaison. The second black man andthe white woman wil l have advanced responsibi l i t ies in the proposedprogramme The programme wil l faci l i tate their further academicdevelopfi l€Irt The programme also proposes their "twinning up" with guestlecturers of stature for some of the contact sessions.

o The programme also hopes to work towards retaining good African womenwho enter the programme. Such persons wil l be identi f ied and encouragedto partrcipate in, for instance, departmental research

3.4-2 ( ln)formal measures to improve staff performance (e.g. regularteam assessment meetings, attendance of curr iculum renewalworkshops, conferences, etc.)

Fortnightly team assessment workshop sessions are to be held to assessprogress and to workshop solut ions to problems that may be encounteredI t is hoped that appropr iate UPE inst i tut ions, for instance COAD,maybecome involved in assessment and development act ivi t ies.Also see relevant detai ls from section 1.3.2

Time constraints given thenew t imeframe for implementation did not permit this form of assessment.The programme, however, does draw on the general survey undertakenby Susan Fouche on behalf of the Faculty of Arts This survey pointed tothe void in the new national programme domain when i t ccmes to specif icAfr ican Studies programmes This need could then be relateC to theequivalent need for a programme in South Afr ican pol i t ics, given thesurvey of Polrt ical Studies in South Afr ica that was undertaken by Booysen(see sect ion 1 1 l )

:!llgkereid--*--

4.2 Hcnrt the programme builds on current upE strengths

' The programme builds on specific strengths in South African politics and inpolitical economy in the political Studies circle at upE.

' In addition, the programme draws on strengths in research methodology(theoretical and applied) amongst Pol i t icat Studies special ists at UpE.' lt equally draws on various module contnbutions from other sources ofstrengths within the faculty, for instance the lDpR.

4.3 New academic or support staff requirements to deliver theprogramme; the estimated cost involved

Supplementary staff needs for this programme are modest. Some of theneeds listed here will also be shared by a number of programmes. Staff needshave to be seen against the background of the following tnree factors:(a) a senes of programmes from 1999 wil l heavi ly rely on current'departmental"

h u man resources.(b) the programme is to be in distance education mode and will probably be

driven by UPE rather than a distance education organisation, and(c) measures are to be put in place for the empowerment and thereby

retention of staff that already fit equity definitions

The sfaff needs thsefore are envrsag ed as:For relevant detaits, please see attached cosf analysis

Motivation of cost items:- The upgrading of the cunent half-day secretarial position to a full-day

position (the cost of this has to be distributed equally between allprogrammes: the current programme is to carry between one-third andone-quarter of this cost):Estimated additionalcosf per annum. R6.666(one-third of the estimated totalcosf of R20,000)

' The advancement, by equity cr i ter ia, and possible permanent appointmentinto a junior lecturer position of the current departmental tutor. Thrsappointment could be combined with that of a programme coordinator Theadvantage of upgrading the tutorship into a coordinator / junior lecturer isthat this person would also be able to assist in lecturing activi tres in boththe current programme and in the undergraduate programme in publ icPolicy and Management (thereby assist ing both the programme andpersonal career advancement) The difference between the currentencumbent's salary and that of an upgraded posit ion wil l be approximatelyR30,000 per annum. lt is advised thaf about two-thirds of the costs are tobe discounted against the cunent Magister:Estimated additionalcosf per annum: R1 g,000(two-thirds of R30, 000)Appointmerrt cf student assistant dedicated to theprogramme and the short courses that are to be generatec by theprogramme (these posit ions wil l preferably be f i l led by goodequity candidates from the new student intake)Estimated cosf per annum. RS.2g0

- The creation of an optional new tutorship that is to serve as a launchingpao for a studen' with the potential for a futu 'e career in the programme.This is the creation of a special equity position. Special funding should bemade available for this type of position. lt is not to be included as anintegral part of the current budgetEstimated cost per annum' R28,000

- Guest lecturers to assist in the concentrated contact periods and'twin up"with relatively junior staff in the programme This is motivated by the needfor equity staff development and for added programme prestige. The costsfor this can be partially covered by building 'short courses" into the contactpenods, and advert ising these to the general publ ic and to business. Thefollowing amount creates the potential to have seven such persons enrichthe programme in the course of the two semesters, for the first and thesecond year of study, thus R5,500 per occasion, which includes airfare,but not accommodationEstimated cosf per annum: R38, 50A

4.4 Needs plus cost factor if present library and other appropriateresources (capitaf equipment, space, etc.) are inadequate to run theprogramme effectively

4.5 Research funds d i rect ly ,or indi rect ly l inked to the programme

. C,rr rent ly there are no research funds that are d i rect ly l inked to thrsprograrnme As the programme develops, r t is l ike ly that research fundswtl l be sought for programme-related research

4.5 Rational isat ion effect (equipment, staff , departments, ccu'^eS, etc.),i f any, that wi l l result from the introduction of this programme

. The "Department of Pol i t ical Studies" simultaneously modularised andprogrammised. A number of old Honours courses were scrapped, andnew, outcome onented modules are being introduced. Because of therange of programmes that are run from Political Studies roots, workloadson lecturing staff are set to increase.

4.7 Summarised three-year f inancial project ion of programme, withspecif icat ion of income (fees and subsidy) and expenditure (directcosts related to cost model)

Please see the attached cost analysis.

4.8 l f not presently f inancial ly viable, motivate short ly what part icularmerits the programme has that may just i fy cross-subsidisation byUPE
