Seminar 1: Prof Cuthbert & Prof Eunice Nyamupangedengu

In this seminar, we spotlight pressing social justice issues within South African STEM education and explore how the Topic-Specific Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TSPCK) framework can be leveraged to advance inclusive teaching. Drawing on research and experiences from Prof Nyamupangedengu work, we examine how STEM teacher educators

can prepare pre-service teachers for socially just practices that respond meaningfully to diversity in classrooms. The seminar will critically reflect on the implications of these insights for STEM teacher education globally, with a particular focus on building inclusive pedagogies in complex and unequal contexts like South Africa.

The duration will be 1h30m, in person in B108 Bohlaleng Block, Wits School of Education or online through Microsoft Teams here. A flyer with more information has been attached to this email.
