As South Africa transitioned from apartheid to democracy, changes
in the political landscape, as well as educational agendas and
discourse on both a national and international level, shaped
successive waves of curriculum reform over a relatively short
period of time. Using South Africa as a germane example of how
curriculum and pedagogy can interact and affect educational
outcomes, Pedagogy in Poverty explores the potential of curricula
to improve education in developing and emerging economies
worldwide, and, ultimately, to reduce inequality. Incorporating
detailed, empirical accounts of life inside South African
classrooms, this book is a much-needed contribution to
international debate surrounding optimal curriculum and pedagogic
forms for children in poor schools. Classroom-level responses to
curriculum policy reforms reveal some implications of the shifts
between a radical, progressive approach and traditional curriculum
forms. Hoadley focuses on the crucial role of teachers as mediators
between curriculum and pedagogy, and explores key issues related to
teacher knowledge by examining the teaching of reading and numeracy
at the foundational levels of schooling. Offering a data-rich
historical sociology of curriculum and pedagogic change, this book
will appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in
the fields of education, sociology of education, curriculum
studies, educational equality and school reform, and the policy and
politics of education.
