spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/12063 A theoretical re-assessment of the use of the distinction between everyday and acadamic knowledges in Basil Bernstein's theory of educational transmissions Mwiinga, Donald Muunze Davis, Zain Education Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. This project assesses a popular position at present in the Bernsteinian subfield of the Sociology of Education, that Basil Bernstein’s main ideas are sufficiently represented by frameworks constructed around the distinction between everyday knowledge/thought and academic knowledge/thought. A survey of some contemporary literature within the Bernsteinian subfield was undertaken to generate a question for the project, i.e., whether it is indeed the case that the everyday/academic knowledges distinction is a productive condensation of the major ideas of Bernstein’s theory. A historical study of Bernstein’s papers from 1958 to 2000 is undertaken with the view of unearthing what it is that gives the theory its impetus over time. 2015-01-11T05:01:16Z 2015-01-11T05:01:16Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12063 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
