There is a body of education scholarship in South Africa that captures the role played by social movements in democratising education in post-apartheid South Africa. However, this scholarship says little about how power dynamics affect learning and intellectual labour in social movements or social movement organisations. In addition, the issue of learning in social movements or social movement organisations is hardly explored in the South African social movement literature. This lack of focus on how activists, especially grassroots activists in working-class communities, learn and produce knowledge in social movements and organisations obscures the complexity of learning and knowledge production in activist settings. This article explores how activists, especially grassroots activists, learn in social movements. Based on secondary literature and interviews, the article advances two main arguments: First, learning in social movements and organisations takes place in non-formal and informal ways. Both these forms of learning take place inside and outside formal educational settings. And they both contribute to the empowerment and critical consciousness of activists in social movements and organisations. In addition, informal learning takes place inside and outside popular educational spaces. However, it is not inevitable that non-formal and informal forms of learning in activist settings will generate critical knowledge and activist practices that disrupt the status quo. Second, power relations based on “race”, social class, gender, and sexuality, among other axes of social division, impact on how learning takes place in non-formal or popular contexts of education. This article seeks to understand how power relations shape the learning and knowledge production process in social movements and organisations.
南非有一个教育学术机构,捕捉到社会运动在种族隔离后的南非教育民主化中所发挥的作用。然而,这项研究很少涉及权力动态如何影响社会运动或社会运动组织中的学习和智力劳动。此外,南非社会运动文献中几乎没有探讨社会运动或社会运动组织中的学习问题。缺乏对活动家,特别是工人阶级社区的基层活动家如何在社会运动和组织中学习和生产知识的关注,掩盖了活动家环境中学习和知识生产的复杂性。这篇文章探讨了活动家,尤其是草根活动家,如何在社会运动中学习。基于二次文献和访谈,本文提出了两个主要论点:第一,社会运动和组织中的学习以非正式和非正式的方式进行。这两种学习形式都发生在正规教育环境内外。它们都有助于增强社会运动和组织中活动家的力量和批判性意识。此外,非正式学习在受欢迎的教育空间内外进行。然而,在积极分子的环境中,非正规和非正式的学习形式会产生破坏现状的批判性知识和积极分子的做法,这并非不可避免。其次,基于“种族”、社会阶级、性别和性取向的权力关系,以及社会分裂的其他轴心,影响了学习在非正规或大众教育背景下的进行方式。本文试图了解权力关系如何影响社会运动和组织中的学习和知识生产过程。

This article explores the impact of transformative theory on the learning outcomes of seven Saudi female student-teachers enrolled in a Master’s TESOL course at a Saudi university. They were actively engaged in designing learning materials for learners with special needs. In this intervention, transformative theory principles were used. They involved dialogue, authentic assessment, and structured reflection. Following the intervention, data were collected using focus group discussions and document analysis. The data were analysed using Mezirow’s transformative theory components: experience, critical reflection, reflective discourse, and action. The findings reveal the experience supported the participants’ autonomy, providing them with opportunities to reflect on their teaching practices, and improved their knowledge construction skills. Based on the results, the author makes a case for greater use of transformative theory approaches in designing and implementing teacher education.
本文探讨了变革理论对七名在沙特大学攻读TESOL硕士课程的沙特女学生教师学习成绩的影响。他们积极参与为有特殊需求的学习者设计学习材料。在这次干预中,使用了变革理论原则。它们涉及对话、真实评估和结构化反思。干预后,通过焦点小组讨论和文件分析收集数据。这些数据是使用梅齐罗的变革理论组成部分进行分析的:经验、批判性反思、反思性话语和行动。研究结果表明,这些经验支持了参与者的自主性,为他们提供了反思教学实践的机会,并提高了他们的知识构建技能。基于这些结果,作者提出了在设计和实施教师教育时更多地使用变革理论方法的理由。

In the reconceptualisation era of curriculum studies, scholars drew on a range of theories such as existentialism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, feminism, poststructuralism, and especially critical theory. They used critical theory as a lens to examine the influence of social and political forces on curriculum, in particular the role of dominant ideologies on schooling and higher education in capitalist societies. In this article we explore some of the limitations this has, especially with regard to the current posthuman condition, without repudiating all the benefits that it has offered. Then we re/think curriculum studies in the posthuman condition, drawing on insights from a particular strand of posthumanism, critical posthumanism. We experiment with the real, as well as with what a reconceptualised subject (one that is ecological) might mean for curriculum inquiry in South Africa. In our exploration, we re/think the curriculum concepts: curriculum-as-lived, curriculum as complicated conversation, and currere.
在课程研究的重新概念化时代,学者们借鉴了存在主义、现象学、精神分析、女权主义、后结构主义等一系列理论,尤其是批判理论。他们以批判理论为视角,考察了社会和政治力量对课程的影响,特别是资本主义社会中占主导地位的意识形态对学校教育和高等教育的作用。在这篇文章中,我们探讨了它的一些局限性,特别是在当前的后人类条件下,而没有否定它所提供的所有好处。然后,我们重新思考后人类条件下的课程研究,从一种特殊的后人类主义,批判性后人类主义中汲取见解。我们实验了真实的,以及一个重新概念化的学科(一个生态学科)对南非课程探究可能意味着什么。在我们的探索中,我们重新思考了课程的概念:作为生活的课程、作为复杂对话的课程和课程。

Working with and through Neoliberalism: Envisioning Research Supervision as a Pedagogy of Care in a Context of “Privileged Irresponsibility” 与新自由主义合作并通过新自由主义:在“特权不负责任”的背景下,将研究监督设想为一种护理教学法

The report of the Ministerial Committee on Transformation and Social Cohesion revealed that exclusionary practices are commonplace in South African universities. They remain a compelling factor that contributes to student attrition in Master’s and doctoral programmes, and they were a trigger to the #RhodesMustFall movement. Universities, oblivious to their doublespeak, have institutionalised curriculum decolonisation and delivery, yet simultaneously enforce neoliberal performative principles (fast-tracking increased numbers despite different levels of student readiness). The extent to which traditional, hierarchical research supervision models (with their genesis in an asymmetrical master-apprentice power dynamic) have responded to the needs of the euphemistically coined “non-traditional” student is moot. In a context of unprecedented increase in research supervision workloads and pressure to decolonise, there is limited research-informed knowledge as to how research supervisors navigate these contradictory conditions. This article reports on a study informed by a Freirean “pedagogy of care” as it attempts to address this lacuna by exploring the research supervision experiences and practice of a sample of 18 research-active professors in a College of Humanities at a research-led university in South Africa. Data was generated through in-depth interviews and subjected to reflexive thematic analysis. The findings indicate that a deep sense of care exists among the sampled supervisors and it manifests in various ways as supervisors actively work with and through neoliberal protocols. 
转型和社会凝聚力部长级委员会的报告显示,排斥性做法在南非大学中很常见。它们仍然是导致硕士和博士课程学生流失的一个引人注目的因素,也是#RhodesMustWall运动的导火索。大学无视他们的双关语,将课程非殖民化和交付制度化,但同时执行新自由主义的表演原则(尽管学生准备程度不同,但人数仍在快速增加)。传统的、分级的研究监督模式(其起源于不对称的师徒权力动态)在多大程度上回应了委婉地创造的“非传统”学生的需求,这是没有意义的。在研究监督工作量空前增加和非殖民化压力的背景下,关于研究监督如何应对这些矛盾的条件,研究知情的知识有限。本文报道了Freirean“护理教育学”的一项研究,该研究试图通过探索南非一所研究型大学人文学院18名活跃于研究的教授的研究监督经验和实践来解决这一空白。数据是通过深入访谈生成的,并经过反射性主题分析。研究结果表明,被抽样的监管人员中存在着深刻的谨慎感,这种谨慎感以各种方式表现出来,因为监管人员积极与新自由主义协议合作。

A central aim of this article is to reflect on the design and implementation of a bi/multilingual Bachelor of Education foundation phase programme offered at the University of Fort Hare from 2018. It reviews three major perspectives on bi/multilingualism: mother tongue-based bi/multilingual education, language and decoloniality, and translanguaging perspectives. It then proceeds to use these perspectives to discuss and illuminate various aspects of implementation, including the genesis of the programme, challenges of implementation, and decisions about curriculum, language use and assessment. It concludes with a brief discussion of lessons learnt for design of bi/multilingual education programmes in higher education.
本文的中心目的是反思2018年起在Fort Hare大学开设的双语/多语言教育学士基础阶段课程的设计和实施。它回顾了关于双语/多语言的三个主要观点:基于母语的双语/多语种教育、语言和非殖民化以及跨语言视角。然后,它利用这些观点来讨论和阐明实施的各个方面,包括计划的起源、实施的挑战以及关于课程、语言使用和评估的决定。最后简要讨论了在高等教育中设计双语/多语言教育方案的经验教训。

Epistemic Journeying across Abyssal Lines of Thinking: Towards Reclaiming Southern Voices 跨越深渊思维的认识之旅:走向南方之声的复兴

Cognitive injustice, which nourishes and sustains current political, social and economic injustice, has been at the centre of the knowledge production enterprise since the colonisers embarked on their project of dispossession and plunder. In order to achieve global justice, the quest for epistemic justice needs to be brought to the centre of curriculum discourses. The postcolonial critique of the canonical corpus of Euro-Western knowledge demands a change in our locus of enunciation. We seized this zeitgeist to repaint the education curriculum canvass in science professional teacher development. We leveraged theoretical constructs from Southern theory, by adopting a decolonial epistemic perspective and privileging a dialogic dynamic. Six purposefully selected, practising science teachers, who were registered to study an Honours in Education module, were engaged to generate qualitative data to respond to the following question: How do science teachers leverage indigenous knowledge to address sustainable development goals? Teachers engaged in intercultural dialogue with indigenous knowledge holders to tap into a plurality of different knowledges. The indigenous knowledge holders who participated were interested in sustainable production/cultivation of items they had used in their practice. Teachers developed portfolios of evidence and participated in focus group interviews. They experienced moments of mourning, dreaming, rediscovery and recovery. This resonated with the same categories that were previously identified by Chilisa, as teachers deconstructed and reconstructed curriculum materials collaboratively with indigenous knowledge holders. The findings reveal that the teachers viewed an indigenous understanding of the world as crucial in the achievement of sustainable development goals. The monolithic, hegemonic Euro-Western thinking was decentred but not abandoned. Instead, teachers rendered it one part of the intercultural dialogue. The study demonstrated the potential for transforming the curriculum to become inclusive of Southern voices in the production of valuable, truthful, reliable knowledge about living together sustainably. 
自殖民者开始他们的剥夺和掠夺项目以来,助长和维持当前政治、社会和经济不公正的认知不公正一直是知识生产企业的核心。为了实现全球正义,对认识正义的追求需要成为课程话语的中心。对欧洲-西方知识规范语料库的后殖民批判要求我们改变表达的位置。我们抓住这一时代精神,重新审视了科学专业教师发展中的教育课程游说。我们利用了南方理论的理论建构,采用了非殖民化的认识视角,并赋予了对话的动力。有目的地挑选了六名注册学习教育荣誉模块的实习科学教师,他们参与生成定性数据,以回答以下问题:科学教师如何利用土著知识来实现可持续发展目标?教师与土著知识持有者进行文化间对话,以挖掘多种不同的知识。参与的土著知识持有者对他们在实践中使用的物品的可持续生产/种植感兴趣。教师们编制了证据档案,并参加了焦点小组访谈。他们经历了哀悼、做梦、重新发现和恢复的时刻。这与Chilisa之前确定的相同类别产生了共鸣,因为教师与土著知识持有者合作解构和重建课程材料。研究结果表明,教师们认为土著人对世界的理解对实现可持续发展目标至关重要。铁板一块的、霸权主义的欧洲-西方思想被削弱了,但并没有被抛弃。相反,老师们把它作为跨文化对话的一部分。这项研究表明,在产生关于可持续生活的有价值、真实、可靠的知识方面,有可能改变课程,使其融入南方的声音。

Marx’s Ghost in the Shell: Troubling Techno-Solutionism in Post-Secondary Education and Training Policy Imaginaries 马克思的壳中幽灵:中学后教育和培训政策想象中的技术解决主义

Post-secondary South African education policy is pinning its hopes of increased access to education on technological changes, especially in light of increased demand for education while persisting with fiscal austerity. This article examines one policy text—the Open Learning Policy Framework—that exemplifies this techno-solutionist policy logic in the post-secondary education and training sector. Structured around the triad of “context-text-consequences”, the article conducts a critical discourse analysis of the Open Learning Policy Framework, positing that techno-solutionism performs an under-labouring role for other more commonly critiqued logics such as new managerialism, social justice as equality and/or equity, and human capital theory. It further troubles the Open Learning Policy Framework’s definition of “open learning”, examining it as a truth/power regimen that constructs the object it espouses to describe. Finally the article considers some of the consequences of such a pivot in education, including the invisible transformation of relations in pedagogic labour, and the subjectivity of students engaged in “open learning” as individualistic neoliberal “lifelong (l)earners”. The article attempts to “raise awareness” of such relations and their constraints on imagination, with the aim of provoking alternative imaginings about how technology and education might produce humanising and emancipatory education.
南非的高等教育政策将增加受教育机会的希望寄托在技术变革上,特别是考虑到对教育的需求增加,同时又坚持财政紧缩。本文考察了一个政策文本——开放学习政策框架——它在中学后教育和培训部门体现了这种技术解决方案主义的政策逻辑。本文围绕“语境-文本-后果”三元结构,对开放学习政策框架进行了批判性话语分析,假设技术解决方案主义对其他更常见的批评逻辑(如新管理主义、作为平等和/或公平的社会正义以及人力资本理论)发挥了不足的作用。它进一步质疑了开放学习政策框架对“开放学习”的定义,将其视为构建其支持描述的对象的真理/权力方案。最后,本文考虑了这种教育支点的一些后果,包括教师劳动关系的无形转变,以及作为个人主义新自由主义“终身收入者”参与“开放学习”的学生的主体性。本文试图“提高人们对这种关系及其对想象力的限制的认识”,目的是激发人们对技术和教育如何产生人性化和解放性教育的另类想象。

Finally the article considers some of the consequences of such a pivot in education, including the invisible transformation of relations in pedagogic labour, and the subjectivity of students engaged in “open learning” as individualistic neoliberal “lifelong (l)earners”. The article attempts to “raise awareness” of such relations and their constraints on imagination, with the aim of provoking alternative imaginings about how technology and education might produce humanising and emancipatory education.","PeriodicalId":44983,"journal":{"name":"Education As Change","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42825334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

State policies regarding workers’ education and the education and training of adults and communities have been hugely influenced by the political and ideological perspectives and approaches that have informed such policies from the onset of the post-apartheid period. These approaches have had pervasively negative effects on especially workers’ education. Yet, there is a powerful and instructive legacy of theorisation and practice that suggests other possibilities towards the development of a progressive, even radical, agenda for workers’ education and its associated forms. These possibilities have been abandoned by the prevailing regime of policy and practice, which could have drawn on the work of trade unions, progressive social movements and organisations, including some of their negative practices. We consider these historical possibilities briefly with a view to opening up a discussion about the possibilities they represent for educational theory and practice.
关于工人教育以及成人和社区的教育和培训的国家政策受到从种族隔离后时期开始就为这些政策提供信息的政治和意识形态观点和方法的巨大影响。这些方法对工人的教育产生了普遍的负面影响。然而,有一个强大的和有益的理论和实践遗产,表明了其他的可能性,以发展一个进步的,甚至是激进的,工人教育议程及其相关形式。这些可能性已经被现行的政策和实践制度所抛弃,这些制度本可以借鉴工会、进步社会运动和组织的工作,包括他们的一些负面做法。我们简要地考虑这些历史可能性,以期开启一场关于它们代表教育理论和实践的可能性的讨论。
