No coherent theory about the practice of South African intermediate phase school textbook evaluation has been forthcoming since the advent of a new South African school curriculum in 1998. This deficiency has had an adverse effect on the quality of intermediate phase school textbooks, as well as on the capacity to assess their value. This research project, therefore, had two aims. The first was to articulate a theory about the practice of textbook evaluation. The second was to develop a...

The concept of distance learning by advanced educational technology is at present only emerging in Africa. This applies particularly to education and training in information and communication technology (ICT). A learner support system needs to be put in place to assist students to use relevant technologies. Learners in Africa tend to have difficulty understanding the technologies underpinning the ICT era.

My contention is that the Values in initiative has a better chance of...

This article explores conceptual links between African and Africana philosophy and its implications for university teaching in South Africa.

The Higgs-Parker debate brings into sharper...

In an essay on his life as a qur'ânic school student written in early 1940s, a young Senegalese man named Abdou Rahmane Diop voiced an educational ideal common in many Islamic cultures.

No sum should be asked of one who leaves family, money, and pleasures to come learn about God and his Prophet.1 Thus, in principle, learning Qur'ân should be free; but if it were, who would choose to teach? If...
