A history of the Dutch Reformed Church in Zimbabwe : with special reference to the Chinhoyi CongregationPretorius, Shirley Frances January 1999 (has links)
This history which spans the period 1836 -1995, gives a picture of the Dutch Reformed Church in Zimbabwe which evolved from the missionary endeavour of the mother church in South Africa into an independent autonomous church. It is a story of Dutch (Afrikaner) piety in which the most important components are
evangelisation, education and language, the whole of which was, and is still, influenced by the evangelical piety of Andrew Murray. With regard to the education of their children, the Dutch Reformed members believed that Christian education in the mother tongue was the ideal. This world view, together with the Protestant principle, that people should read and interpret Scripture for themselves, resulted in the establishment of three churches in Zimbabwe. Firstly, the Dutch Reformed Church (Synod of Central Africa), that ministers to the Afrikaans and English members of all races. Secondly, the Reformed Church
of Zimbabwe that ministers to the Shona people, and thirdly the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (Synod Malawi) that ministers to the migrant workers from Malawi.
Of the three components in Dutch piety, evangelisation is regarded by the members
as the most important in their missionary endeavour. This is the search for a contextual identity and illustrates how the Afrikaners in Zimbabwe experienced the reality of God in their lives. It is also a description of the interaction of the Dutch Reformed Church in Zimbabwe with the society in which it found itself. This interaction is observed to be of four types, namely, public witness, social upliftment and empowerment, the increase of social strength and the establishment of the community. / Church History

A historical review of the assessment of English Home Language at senior secondary school level in KwaZulu-NatalBlumfield, Brian Alfred 30 June 2008 (has links)
The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) heralds the beginning of a new curriculum for Grades 10 to
12 in South Africa. Underpinned by the South African Constitution, and based on the tenets of
Outcomes-based Education, the NCS seeks to provide contextually-relevant education for all South
African learners, so that they are able to embrace inevitable change. Although the NCS highlights the
importance of assessment, an analysis of the English Home Language (EHL) NCS reveals tensions
between policy and practice. This study attempts to contextualise the role of relevant assessment for the
21st century. It then proceeds to engage in a historical evaluation of assessment within the NSC in terms
of how assessment was conducted in the former Natal Education Department, a liberal education
department within former apartheid South Africa. The conclusions drawn from the evaluation are used
to provide recommendations to relieve the tensions identified within the EHL NSC. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

Criteria for sound Christian education, with reference to Christian Education South Africa (CESA) 1984-1993 : a historical-educational investigation and evaluationNel, Monika Barbara Elisabeth 11 1900 (has links)
Christian Education South Africa (CESA), formerly known as Accelerated Christian
Education (South Africa) or ACE(SA), represents a significant number of evangelical
Christian schools in South Africa. Most CESA schools are multiracial· and part of
charismatic fellowships.
The purpose of this study was to investigate CESA {its roots, philosophy of education
and methodology) and to evaluate the quality of Christian education offered at CESA
schools.
Firstly, 'sound Christian education' was defined. Secondly, a model for assessing
Christian education was developed. The SAPPAB model with its six criteria (spiritual,
academic, physical, practical, administrative and balance) assess both the biblical and t
educational 'soundness' of an education programme .
. Information was gathered over six years by way of interviews, surveys, ethnographic
and in-depth case studies. Evaluations included individual CESA schools, CESA as an
organization and the ACE programme. The major finding was that individual CESA
schools do contribute meaningfully to sound Christian education, but that the
organization as such lost its vision and its influence. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
