The dissertation is concerned with the production of a systematic analysis of HSRC research reports into mathematics education in South Africa between 1970 and 1980. Drawing on the theoretical language of Dowling (1995), the analysis focuses on the (re)production of voice and message in the reports. This entails an analysis of positioning strategies that il1ark out voices in the texts and distributing strategies that distribute message across voices. Voices include bureaucratic, academic, teacher and learner voices and knowledge and practices that constitute message distributed to voices relate to mathematical knowledge, pedagogic knowledge and curriculum innovation practices. Positioning and distributing textual strategies with respect to learner and teacher sub-voices are related to the (re)production of theories of instruction that constitute models of acquirers, transmitters and pedagogic contexts and define pedagogic competence in particular ways. The (re)production of theories of instruction in turn are related to the reproduction of social relations in the broader society. It is hoped that the analysis illustrates the generality of Dowling's language for analysing texts. The substantive focus of the study is the analysis of the reports and the language developed in the analysis is used to make some suggestive comments about current mathematics curriculum development in South Africa. It is hoped, in particular, that the focus in this study on discourses in mathematics education in South Africa in the 1970s will contribute to the documenting of the history of mathematics curriculum development in South Africa. 2016-03-07T06:55:30Z 2016-03-07T06:55:30Z 1997 Master Thesis Masters MEd http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17548 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
