Title: | Mainstreaming African Indigenous Knowledge Systems in higher and tertiary education: the case of Zimbabwe | Contributor(s): | Ndhlovu, Finex (author) ; Masuku, Jesta (author) | Publication Date: | 2004 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/13091 | Abstract: | Higher and tertiary education institutions have come to be recognised as centers of academic excellence charged with the social responsibility of generating knowledge that can be used to circumvent the challenges confronting society. The western oriented education system characterising higher and tertiary institutions in modern Zimbabwe has failed to meet this premium because it lacks an appreciation of locally produced philosophies and thought systems. This article exposes those methodological and pragmatic tenets of African indigenous knowledge systems (AIKSs), which are worth mainstreaming in higher and tertiary education curricula. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | South African Journal of Higher Education, 18(3), p. 281-288 | Publisher: | UniSA Press | Place of Publication: | South Africa | ISSN: | 1011-3487 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130213 Vocational Education and Training Curriculum and Pedagogy 139999 Education not elsewhere classified 130202 Curriculum and Pedagogy Theory and Development |
