South African teacher education is confronted by educational problems of a
vast magnitude and complexity. In view of students' needs, society's
expectations and improvement of teaching, problems need to be critically
investigated.
In order for the subject didactics curriculum to meet these needs and demands,
a critical analysis was done of the current music syllabus (1991) for teacher
training colleges in Venda. Against the background of the structure and
components of didactics, subject didactics in general and of music in
particular, criteria were formulated for the analysis. As a result of the
analysis deficiencies such as the lack of suitable aims and objectives,
content with a Eurocentric emphasis disregarding African music, a lack of
teaching methods which could be applied in the classroom, etc., were
discovered. In conclusion, recommendations and guidelines were formulated in
order to address these problems. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Didactics)
