In view of the northern hemispheric hegemony in education and in view of contemporary
curriculum theory which prescribes an input by students as clients, the authors of two
Southern countries, Tanzania and South Africa, surveyed their students’ expectations of a
comparative education course, in an attempt to contribute to the establishment of a more
meaningful comparative education for the South. The survey revealed startling
divergences regarding South African and Tanzanian students’ expectations of
comparative education. South African students looked onto comparative education to
enlighten the domestic education reform project, and to improve their (students’) teaching
strategies. In contrast, the Tanzanian students had a more detached (from their day-today
education needs) and purely intellectual view of comparative education, expecting
the subjects to contribute to their intellectual moulding and development. The authors
relate these differences to contextual differences between South Africa and Tanzania, and
conclude that contextual factors should be taken into account when designing
comparative education courses. |
