Reciprocal Learning among educators in two communities in KwaZulu- Natal
(University of the Western Cape, 2007) Mennigke, Stuart Michael; Groener, Zelda; Faculty of Education
This research sets out to analyze the adult learning practices between two groups of secondary school teachers from historically differently resourced schools in the context of partnership. It seeks to test the nature of the partnership which exists between these schools, and exploe the nature of the learning which takes place between the teachers as adult learners. Reflections on the literature illustrate the issues surrounding the nature of learning among adult learners in shared community relationships. Methodologically this research is qualitative in nature , and has used the wider Social Responsibility Programme of St Agnes College as a field for interaction. Within that wider programme specifically, the mathematics partnership between Umdodo High School (UHS) and St Agnes was used for data colllection.
