, SECTION A: AN AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION [10]
Introduction
The following definitions are important when doing observation to contribute to your
theoretical knowledge of learning and teaching in South Africa. These definitions are
constructed around the interpretation of specific aspects related to Africanisation.
Make use of these definitions together with your theoretical knowledge of current
research gained in each module. When observing, reporting and reflecting on the
portfolio activities, these concepts and principles will enable you to reflect critically on
learning and teaching in the unique context in which you are teaching.
To improve education in South Africa, teachers need to be aware of the contextual
factors that affect life and education. The lived realities as experienced by our society
or communities provide a background to understand challenges from their unique
contexts. An African philosophy of education based on these realities that articulate
the lived reality is needed. This philosophy could become a useful tool that provides
a perspective to define and address problems. This approach can improve education
and life on different levels (Higgs, 2003).
The reality experienced by a diverse African community suggests a spirit of
communality as expressed in an indigenous African knowledge system. General
unifying themes describe concepts in African philosophy that relate to education. To
complete this portfolio, it is important that you understand these concepts.
Read the information in the following table. The concept is explained first and the

To complete this portfolio, it is important that you understand the concepts described
