Om prosjektet
The project will explore how history teaching in South Africa can be used to incorporate the concept of transloyalties in citizenship education post-apartheid. The study is part of a larger project called TranCit (Trans Citizenship) that seeks to explore loyalties and transloyalties in contexts with colonial backgrounds, and through comparisons, see how the case countries (Norway, Mauritius, Madagascar, and South Africa) can learn from each other. The concept of transloyalties is about one having multiple and often shifting loyalties, for example, related of citizenship, religion, cultural and social belonging. The overarching question of this project is “How can history curricula and pedagogy in South Africa be used to help grade 9 learners develop citizenship skills for a globalised world?”
Data will be collected through archival document search, history lesson observation, interviews with history teachers, focus group discussions with learners, and action research collaboration with history teachers in two schools. The data are relevant to inter- and intra-country comparisons within the TranCit project. Also, the action research with history teachers will contribute toward producing a teacher’s manual for teaching history in South Africa.
