QUESTION 1
(20)
Define the following concepts and explain how they apply to the
Foundation Phase.
1.1 Africanisation
Africanisation refers to the process of defining or interpreting African
identity and culture. It involves embracing African heritage and promoting
African culture in education (Learning Unit 2, p. 19).
In the Foundation Phase, Africanisation applies when teachers incorporate
African languages, indigenous stories, African values such as Ubuntu, and
culturally relevant examples into teaching. For example, a Grade 2 teacher
may use African folktales during literacy lessons or include African counting
systems in Mathematics activities. This promotes cultural identity and
relevance in early learning. (MFP2601 Study Guide, Learning Unit 2, p. 19;
p. 51)
