Resumen

MURRIS, Karin  y  VERBEEK, Clare. A foundation for foundation phase teacher education: Making wise educational judgements. SAJCE [online]. 2014, vol.4, n.2, pp.1-17. ISSN 2223-7682.

We start our paper with a critical exploration of the current 'back to basics' approach in South African foundation phase teacher education with its emphasis on strengthening the teaching of subject knowledge. We claim that such a proposal first demands an answer to the question 'what is foundational in foundation phase teaching?' We propose an answer in three stages. First we argue that teacher education should be concerned not only with schooling or qualification (knowledge, skills and dispositions) and socialisation, but, drawing on Gert Biesta's work, also with subjectification (educating the person towards the ability to make wise educational judgements). Secondly, these three aims of education lead to five core principles, and we finish by showing how these principles inform our storied, thinking and multimodal/semiotic curriculum. Our answer to our leading question is that pedagogical 'know-how' and views of 'child' and 'childhood' constitute the subject knowledge that is foundational in the foundation phase curriculum.

Palabras clave : Teacher education; childhood studies; foundation phase teaching; aims of education; child and childhood; making wise educational judgements.
