, RSE4801 ASSIGNMENT 02Question 1
How, according to Chilisa (2012), should we understand ‘postcolonial
indigenous research methodologies and philosophies’? What do you
think is the value of such approaches to research in education in an
African context you are familiar with?
Chilisa (2012) argues that 'postcolonial indigenous research
methodologies and philosophies' should be understood as a way of
conducting research that is rooted in the rights, knowledge, and
perspectives of indigenous peoples and aims to challenge the
colonial legacy that has marginalized and oppressed these
communities. This approach recognizes the unique cultural and
historical experiences of indigenous people and seeks to decolonize
knowledge production by centering their voices, knowledge systems,
and ways of knowing.
In an African context, the value of such approaches to research in
education is immense. Africa has a rich diversity of indigenous
cultures and knowledge systems that have often been suppressed or
ignored in favour of Eurocentric perspectives. By adopting
postcolonial indigenous research methodologies and philosophies,
researchers can provide a platform for African indigenous
communities to reclaim their identities, knowledge, and agency.
These approaches have the potential to break down the power
dynamics that have historically existed between Western researchers
and African communities. Research becomes a collaborative and
participatory process, where indigenous people are active partners in
defining research questions, methodologies, and outcomes. This not
only empowers indigenous communities but also ensures that
research findings are more contextually relevant, accurate, and
meaningful.
