Abstract

This paper reports the results of a case study inquiry in which the latest qualitative data analyser Leximancer Version 2.25 (Grimbeek, 2007), was used in conjunction with Kivunja's New Dynamics Paradigm (Kivunja and Power, 2006) to investigate data collected from schools engaged in these partnerships, so as to gain an understanding of how the partnerships created as a result of integrating high schools with TAFE and University have impacted on teaching and learning in these schools.
