https://doi.org/10.15270/40-4-319Abstract
This is the second part of a two-part series on “Emancipatory citizenship education in action”, with a focus on the use of creative teaching and learning options with a group of students taking a course on Human Behaviour and the Social Environment. The student-centred teaching/learning strategies described in this paper allow students to actively engage in discourses of difference of various types, to develop an understanding of, and respect for diversities, to develop self-awareness, and awareness of self in relation to the broader socio-political and cultural world. The premise is that the development of such awareness and reflexivity, serves as a precursor to the recognition of the need to work toward change in structural conditions that maintian people in disadvantaged, marginalised and excluded positions.Downloads
