Abstract

From text: A number of articles in this edition of Perspectives of Education investigate critical issues in Higher Education. Whereas some of these articles examine complex social issues in racially and culturally mixed educational environments, others probe ways to enhance student learning and scholarship among academics. This issue also highlights articles that interrogate ethical issues on vivisection in education and research, teachers’ competence to teach the physics part of the FET physical sciences curriculum, and teachers’ levels of engagement with mathematics tools and resources. Discussions in this volume incorporate both theory and practice, and draw on a wide range of research designs and methodologies.
