QUESTION 1:
READING TECHNIQUES [20]
1.1 Scan through the text in Question 3 and identify what the chapter seeks to
explore. (2)
The chapter seeks to explore the issue of the dominance of Western epistemologies
and knowledge systems in African university curricula and the need to Africanize
or indigenize these curricula to better serve the predominantly black African
student population.
1.2 Scan through the text in Question 3 and list the women leaders cited as
examples. (3)
1.3 Skim-read the text in Question 3 and in five lines, discuss what the main
argument of the text is. (5)
The main argument of the text is that African universities, despite having
predominantly black African student populations, still heavily rely on Western
epistemologies and knowledge systems in their curricula. The author argues that
there is a need for these universities to incorporate indigenous knowledge systems
alongside Western systems to make the curriculum more relevant and beneficial
for the students.
1.4 Using topical mapping skills, summarise the text in Question 3. (8)
African universities have predominantly black African student populations.
However, their curricula are dominated by Western epistemologies and knowledge
systems.
This dominance overlooks indigenous knowledge systems and their relevance.
The challenge for African universities is to Africanize or indigenize their curricula.
By incorporating indigenous knowledge systems, the universities can better serve
their students.
