, HED4804 ASSIGMENT 1Assignment Task 1
Develop a glossary of any 5 key terms in philosophy of education in which you critically
engage with and give an in-depth analysis of these terms. Your glossary compilation will have
to also engage in a thoughtful exploration of the nuanced meanings and implications
associated with each term you have identified, and it also must relate the relevance of the
concepts/key ideas to education in (South) Africa.
Structure/Guidelines:
• Select at least five terms for analysis. For each term, explore its historical context,
philosophical origins, and primary proponents.
Decolonialisation neoliberalism
Equality Africanisation social justice
Decolonialisation is a term of analysis that has gained prominence in the field of philosophy
of education, especially in the context of (South) Africa. The concept of decolonialisation
seeks to address the legacy of colonialism and its ongoing impact on education and society. It
encompasses a range of philosophical and political ideas aimed at challenging and
dismantling the dominant Western-centric epistemologies and systems of knowledge
production that continue to shape education in post-colonial societies.
The historical context of decolonialisation can be traced back to the period of European
colonial expansion in the 16th century onwards, when European powers established control
over vast territories in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The colonial project was underpinned
by an ideology of racial superiority and cultural hegemony, which justified the subjugation
and exploitation of indigenous peoples. In the context of education, colonial powers imposed
their own languages, curricula, and forms of knowledge, seeking to erase or marginalize
indigenous epistemologies and ways of knowing.
