This paper explores the notion of "productive risk" as a way of understanding how diverse students can become re-makers of landscape architectural design practices and education. We trace the design trajectories of two first-year students at a South African tertiary institution and examine how the students negotiate the risk of drawing…

In this conceptual paper, borne from the experiences of two academic literacy lecturers at the NWU, we ask, regarding elements of assessment, how we can sensibly adapt an intervention-style writing course in a post-COVID higher education context.

We investigated how a mathematical modelling task could mediate varied levels of mathematical…

Drawing on two cases from a course on financial mathematics for secondary school teachers, I illustrate opportunities for exploring compound and exponential growth.…

Mudaly, Vimolan – Perspectives in Education, 2009
There are many arguments that reflect on inductive versus deductive methods in mathematics. Claims are often made that teaching from the general to the specific does make understanding better for learners or vice versa. I discuss an intervention conducted with Grade 10 (15-year-old) learners in a small suburb in South Africa. I reflect on the…
