On the Unattentiveness of South African Higher Education Research to Teaching and Learning
Waghid, Y.
South African Journal of Higher Education, v23 n6 p1126-1132 2009
The contributions in this special issue have one thing in common: they all highlight the unattentiveness of higher education research to inquiry into and about teaching and learning in South Africa over the past decade. In this article I explore this claim in relation to the first four essays in this volume. Then, in relation to my own narrative(s) about teaching and learning, I argue for a reconceptualised notion of teaching and learning which involves cultivating forms of deliberative engagement.
