The main aim of this study is to review critically the changing nature, role and status of the history of education as a field of study in teacher education courses in South Africa, Britain and the USA. While the British and American situations have had direct influence on the theory and practice of the history of education in English language universities in South Africa, this influence has been shaped and modified by local circumstances, significantly so since the education crisis of 1976. The study seeks to clarify several fundamental questions about the history of education, including its relationship with other fields of educational study and its place in the intellectual preparation of teachers. Such questions are examined in the general contexts of the British, American and South African historiographies of education as well as in the context of the teacher education curriculum as it is shaped by the acid-political context. In the three countries being studied, teacher education has become a matter of urgent concern. One result has been a rethinking of the place of educational theory, which inevitably involves a reconsideration of the place of history of education.

In this dissertation, the researcher has given a historical analysis of the Gazankulu teacher training between 1969 and 1990. Gazankulu teacher training is for the Shangana-Tsonga ( Machangana-Vatsonga) people. The training of Shangana-Tsonga people as teachers started in 1893. Gazankulu came into existence in 1969. Reference was made to the Swiss Missionaries who started such a training at Rikatla in 1893. From Rikatla, the training was transferred to Shiluvane area to be started as a Bible school in 1903. The Bible School was split into two sections, one of which became Lemana Training Institution in 1906. The other section was transferred back to Rikatla. Lemana served as a training institution for the MachanganaVatsonga or Tsonga-speaking people from 1906 up to 1968. When Gazankul u was established in 196 9, its teacher training commenced in the same year at Ti vumbeni Training School. Tivumbeni replaced Lemana. Both Lemana and Tivumbeni trained primary school teachers. The latter school however later changed to the training of secondary school teachers. After Tivumbeni, other teacher training institutions like Orhovelani, Hoxani, Giyani, Shingwedzi and Lemana were established in this order owing to the need to train teachers as determined by the Gazankulu Education Department. Gazankulu teacher training first paid attention to the training of primary school teachers between 1969 and 1972. As from 1973 a beginning was made for the training of secondary school teachers. Various teachers' certificates were offered in the Gazankulu teachers' colleges between 1969 and 1984. Teachers' diplomas replaced those certificates as from 1982. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.
