Science education and curriculum in South Africa
Koopman, Oscar.

Science education and curriculum in South Africa[electronic resource] /by Oscar Koopman. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xix, 187 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Curriculum studies worldwide. - Curriculum studies worldwide..

Chapter 1 Phenomenology as a method in education research -- Chapter 2 Physical science: A science for government or a science for life? -- Chapter 3 My becoming and un-becoming: Life as a child, learner and university science student -- Chapter 4 I am ready for this new curriculum: The lived experiences of a Physical Science teacher -- Chapter 5 Do teachers also see what chemists see when they teach chemistry? -- Chapter 6 What can science teachers learn from the wine expert? -- Chapter 7 Harnessing the full use of the senses in the science classroom -- Chapter 8 Can a phenomenological approach enhance learning in science in South Africa?

This book explores the impact of the socio-historical, political, and economic environment in South Africa, both during and after Apartheid. During this time, the South African education system demonstrated an interest in a specific type of knowledge, which Koopman refers to as 'a science of government'. This 'science of government' leaves the learners with a blurred understanding of science that is disconnected from external nature and human nature, and is presented as a series of abstract concepts and definitions. The book also investigates the dialectical tensions between the science curriculum and the role of the teacher as an active implementer of the curriculum. The book draws on the work of various phenomenological scholars, namely Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Max van Manen to discuss these tensions.
