In a democratic society, teachers face challenges with regard to
teaching culturally diverse and responsive learners in varied
socioeconomic contexts. Many teachers in South African schools feel
they have not been adequately trained to work in multicultural
school environments, and therefore lack the skill and expertise
required for dealing with social justice and sensitive, moral or
hegemonic social issues in the curriculum. Societal issues in the
curriculum explores problems and trends in the South African
context that have the potential to influence the implementation,
planning and design of the curriculum at micro level, and examines
how they emerge from everyday experiences. Societal issues in the
curriculum offers a detailed view of a few carefully selected
community concerns. It aims to equip students with skills that will
help them navigate the complex South African reality and consider
how this reality impacts the curriculum. Based on critical
thinking, problem solving, self-directed learning and reflective
practice, the text aims to make students question their own
assumptions, bring in other perspectives and show the implications
for the curriculum. A wide range of activities are included.
Societal issues in the curriculum is aimed at student teachers and
teachers in practice.
