      flesch: 49
     summary: Career development is profoundly complex (Cohen, 2003), and career development theories simplify career behaviours to make them easier to understand (Albien & Naidoo, 2018; Lent et al., 2002). However, psychobiographies anchored in career development theories are limited (Mayer, 2019; Ponterotto & Park-Taylor, 2021a, 2021b; Van Niekerk et al., 2019).

      flesch: 40
     summary: The Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 and the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 4 of 2000 (PEPUDA) also warrant mention as legislative frameworks that provide a safeguard against discrimination in South African workplaces (Department of Labour, 2014; Republic of South Africa, 2000). Despite legislative landmarks, day-to-day realities reveal that there is much work to be done to transform South African workplaces into spaces of true diversity and inclusivity.

     summary: It is against this background that this study examines the experiences of private higher education college lecturers with remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in Johannesburg, South Africa. While existing literature conducted on university lecturers highlights the dynamics and challenges they faced with remote teaching, there is limited research examining the experiences and perceptions of private higher education college lecturers regarding the studied phenomenon.

     summary: Method: The study used qualitative research, conducting eight interviews with early-career young cisgender women teachers from secondary schools in Tshwane, Gauteng. Results: The findings show that young cisgender women teachers are especially vulnerable to male learner violence, influenced by a small age gap and patriarchal gender ideologies. These perceptions reinforce power imbalances informed by the learners’ perceptions of the female sex as weaker and defenceless, exposing young cisgender women teachers to persistent challenges in managing the classroom.

Low scores may point to the presence of work volition derailers such as a lack of confidence in connecting socially with others to form social networks for career support.

     summary: Moreover, the socially constructed notion that ECE teaching and, subsequently, ECE teacher education is a career suited for women is based on the understanding that ECE teaching is care work, which is not approved as a male responsibility (Bhana et al., 2022; Cruickshank, 2020). Noting that lived experiences in negotiating the normative constructions of gender in ECE teacher education are context-dependent and subjective, an interpretive paradigm was adopted.
