This book helps meet an urgent need for theorized, accessible and
discipline-sensitive publications to assist science, technology,
engineering and mathematics educators. The book introduces
Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) and demonstrates how it can be used
to improve teaching and learning in tertiary courses across the
sciences. LCT provides a suite of tools which science educators can
employ in order to help their students grasp difficult and dense
concepts. The chapters cover a broad range of subjects, including
biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics, as well as different
curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practices. This is a crucial
resource for any science educator who wants to better understand
and improve their teaching.
Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers contributes to the current
struggles for decolonising education in the global South, focusing
on the highly illuminating case of South African higher education.
Galvanised by #FeesMustFall and #RhodesMustFall student protests,
South Africa has seen particularly intense and broad social
engagement with debates over decolonising universities. However,
much of this debate has been consumed with definitions and
meanings. In contrast, Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers shows how
conceptual tools, specifically from Legitimation Code Theory, can
be enacted in research and teaching to meaningfully work towards
productive decolonisation. Each chapter addresses a key issue in
contemporary debates in South African higher education and show how
practices concerning knowledge and knowers are playing a role,
drawing on quantitative and qualitative research, praxis, and
interdisciplinary research.
