Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation explores the notion of (higher) education transformation in relation to
logically necessary conditions which guide the concept. These logically necessary
conditions (constitutive meanings) include: equity and redress, critical inquiry,
communicative praxis, and citizenship. I explore how instances of these logically
necessary conditions manifest in institutional plans at the universities of Cape Town,
Stellenbosch, and the Western Cape. My contention is that these institutional plans seem
to be tilted towards the exclusive implementation of performance indicator measures
which might undermine deep educational transformation. In turn, deep educational
transformation requires that logically necessary conditions be framed according to an
African philosophy of educational transformation.
KEYWORDS: Higher education, education policy, transformation, conceptual analysis,
logically necessary conditions. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie proefskrif word die konsep (hoër) onderwystransformasie ondersoek soos dit
logies in verhouding staan tot die voorwaardes wat die konsep rig. Hierdie logiesnoodsaaklike
voorwaardes (konstitusionele betekenisse) sluit in: gelykheid en regstelling;
kritiese ondersoek; kommunikatiewe praksis en burgerskap. Ek stelondersoek in oorlhoe
voorbeelde van hierdie logiese-noodsaaklike voorwaardes in die institusionele planne van
die universiteite Kaapstad, Stellenbosch en Wes-Kaapland manifesteer. Volgens my lyk
dit asof hierdie institusionele planne neig na die eksklusiewe implementering van
maatreëls wat optrede aandui wat in-diepte opvoedkundige transformasie mag ondermyn.
Aan die ander kant vereis in-diepte opvoedkundige transformasie dat logies-noodsaaklike
voorwaardes binne 'n Afrika filosofie van opvoedkundige transformasie vertolk moet
word.
SLEUTELBEGRIPPE: Hoër onderwys, opvoedkundige beleid, transformasie,
konseptuele analise, logies-noodsaaklike voorwaardes.
