The high failure rate in the learning areas Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy is of great concern to educators. In-service training courses for educators in Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy were presented with the aim to enhance the application of didactics in the classroom. The problems concerning the application (impact) could possibly be attributed to the components, elements and presentation of the in-service training course. In an attempt to identify the relevant components and elements, quasi-experimental positivist and interpretive research was conducted. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The question arising is: Could improved impact in the classroom be achieved 1. if the in-service training facilitators received better training, and 2. by incorporating change of attitude, the treatment of the full subject content and the principles of learning structures and co-operative learning into the in-service-training? Educators are still experiencing problems with the transfer of the subject content to the learners. === Early Childhood Education and Development === M. Ed. (Kurrikulumstudies)
