Re-thinking our pedagogical approaches in teacher education to subvert the neoliberal stronghold on higher education

- Description: The focus of this lecture is on an interrogation of neoliberalism, what it entails, the pedagogies it espouses, and some pedagogies that we could consider implementing in our classes, with reference to teacher education, or broader, to subvert its influence. While the initial conceptualisation of the university was to prepare students to be critical and creative thinkers for democratic citizenry, this notion of the university has been severely impacted with the onset of neoliberalism, which uses market-based logic to dictate the kind of knowledge that students should receive at university, as its focus is specifically on preparing them for the workplace, and nothing else. This implies that, according to neoliberalism, the role of universities is not to prepare students to become critically engaged citizens for a democratic society, but to specifically prepare them for the market economy. It is with this background in mind that the lecture commences by firstly providing an overview of the key features of neoliberalism, as it manifests in society, with reference to how it aims to disrupt democracy by infiltrating principles, synonymous with the market economy, into all aspects of society. Thereafter, the lecture will proceed to examine some of the key features that drive its agenda, such as competition, individualism, narrow minded self-interests, and its focus on preparing students for the market economy to serve a capitalist society. Using this premise as a base, the lecture will examine the impact of neoliberalism on higher education, especially in terms of how the relationship between lecturers and students becomes increasingly commodified, with a strong focus on measurable performativity. Hence universities are perceived as institutions where knowledge is bought and sold to students who are the obedient consumers of knowledge, being prepared for the workplace. By critically engaging with the pedagogies that inform neoliberalism, such as its focus on a measurement-based, positivistic, banking approach to education, the lecture aims to shed light on the teaching strategies and approaches that underpin its philosophy, and to examine how its influence could be subverted. Hence, to curtail its impact on teaching and learning in higher education contexts, the lecture sheds light on alternative pedagogies that we could embrace that could lead to transformative learning spaces for enhanced critical reflection and meaning making. This then leads to an examination of the pedagogies that I believe could counter its harmful impacts on pedagogy in higher education, especially in terms of our focus on preparing young people to become critically engaged citizens, who will become agents of change. Based on many years of teaching and lecturing experience I believe that the following three pedagogies namely transformative pedagogy, culturally responsive pedagogy and arts-based pedagogies could make a constructive contribution to impeding its influence. The lecture will examine these pedagogies by providing an overview of what they entail and the ways in which they could subvert neoliberal principles, especially in terms of their transformative nature. Since the key features of these pedagogies are that they lead to collaborative meaning-making through dialogical engagement, develop students’ critical and creative thinking skills, promote critical consciousness, and stimulate reflective practice, they offer the potential to contribute to the development of a critically reflective citizenry, thereby subverting the influence of neoliberal pedagogy in higher education teaching and learning contexts.

Rehabilitation of children with severe acute malnutrition with ready-to-use therapeutic food compared to F100 at Clairwood Hospital, KwaZulu-Natal

- Description: Background: The World Health Organisation (WHO) initially recommended F100 formula in the treatment of severe malnutrition. F100 is made with full cream milk powder, sugar, oil and water with added minerals and vitamins. Ready to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) is a highly nutrient dense food enriched with minerals and vitamins, with a similar nutrient profile but greater energy and nutrient density than F100. RUTF has shown to be effective in the treatment of severe and moderate wasting and is associated with an increased recovery rate. In South Africa no studies are available on the recovery rate of children with severe acute malnutrition treated with RUTFs. Aim: To compare the recovery of clinically stable severe acute malnourished children, between the age of 12 and 60 months, treated with either F100 or RUTF as nutrition supplement. Methods: A randomised clinically controlled trial was performed. All children referred to Clairwood hospital with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), defined as a weight for height measurement of <70 percent of the median and/or < -3 SD below the mean WHO reference values or the presence of bilateral oedema were included in this study. Children were stratified according to age and gender and subsequently randomly assigned with randomisation tables to either the RUTF or F100 group. A total of 35 children were included in this study and data from 34 were analysed with 17 in each group. Results: Most children included in this study were between 12 and 18 months with boys in the majority. Both groups had a large percentage of HIV-infected children (70 percent in the RUTF group and 76 percent in the F100 group), with Tuberculosis (TB) co-infection in some of the children. One child died due to HIV related complications. The rate of weight gain was 7.77g/kg/day in the RUTF group and 6.11g/kg/day in the F100 group. There was no statistical significant difference established between groups (p = 0.46). The majority of children recovered within 21 days on the RUTF while the majority of children in the F100 group recovered after 6 weeks. There were no changes in height during the rehabilitation of these children. MUAC changes were observed with 92 percent having a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of > 11.5cm after a 6 week intervention with RUTF and F100. Conclusion: RUTF resulted in better rates of recovery and can be used efficiently in rehabilitating children with SAM in a supervised facility setting. These preliminary results also point towards significant potential savings regarding hospitalisation costs since faster recovery has been demonstrated by children in the RUTF group.

One child died due to HIV related complications. The rate of weight gain was 7.77g/kg/day in the RUTF group and 6.11g/kg/day in the F100 group. There was no statistical significant difference established between groups (p = 0.46). The majority of children recovered within 21 days on the RUTF while the majority of children in the F100 group recovered after 6 weeks. There were no changes in height during the rehabilitation of these children. MUAC changes were observed with 92 percent having a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of > 11.5cm after a 6 week intervention with RUTF and F100. Conclusion: RUTF resulted in better rates of recovery and can be used efficiently in rehabilitating children with SAM in a supervised facility setting. These preliminary results also point towards significant potential savings regarding hospitalisation costs since faster recovery has been demonstrated by children in the RUTF group.

- Description: All business is based on relationships. The firm only has to make them meaningful for its customers – provided that the customers want this (Grönroos 1994). Relationship marketing concerns the facilitation and managing of the relationships between the business and its customers and was developed as a response to the realisation that businesses were spending vast resources in time and money to attract new customers but very little on retaining existing ones. Relationship marketing is particularly relevant when a customer has alternative service providers to choose from, when the customer makes the selection decision and when there is an ongoing desire or need for a product or service, such as in the banking industry (Morgan & Hunt 1999).

- Description: For a number of years the Cape Town branch of the LACOM project has conducted workshops on report-writing, notetaking and minute-taking. Through this manual we hope to share our experience in these areas with a wider group of people. We know that a number of manuals already exist on these topics, so why have we decided to write yet another one? This manual is different. It is especially helpful for facilitators who are organising and conducting report-writing and note-taking workshops. This is because this manual gives practical details on how to help people write reports and what methods to use in workshops. But this manual can also be used as a reference and follow-up for people who have attended these workshops.
