Eenstemmigheid oor die toepaslikheid van die konsep \u201cpedagogie\u201d om al die aktiwiteite van die universiteit (nl kennisontdekking, kennisoordrag en kennistoepassing) te beskryf, was daar verseker nie. Oor die verstaan van wat \u201choop\u201d beteken (een omskrywing sou wees om die moontlike bo die werklike te stel) was daar groter sinergie van denke. (Ek maak hierdie afleidings uit al die terugvoere wat ons ontvang het van die verskillende fakulteite, steundiensafdelings en studentegroeperings wat die konsepdokument oor die \u201cPedagogie van Hoop\u201d bespreek het.) Die colloquium eerskomende Vrydag is die eerste kampuswye gesprek oor wat \u201cPedagogie van Hoop\u201d in die onderrig-en-leer-omgewing sou kon beteken. Ek dink dit is \u2018n belangrike stap in ons proses van vordering na \u2018n gedeelde verstaan van \u2018hoop\u2019 en hoe dit in alles wat ons doen neerslag kan\/behoort te vind.<br \/>\nReversing the term \u201cPedagogy of Hope\u201d into \u201cHopeful Pedagogies\u201d as the theme of the colloquium may, I think, open up new ways of thinking about it, particularly in terms of the focus on the contribution of the university to the public good. Inasmuch as the contribution of higher education or universities to economic and technological development of society, and to democracy and citizenship, is important, I believe we should not lose sight of the fact that higher education as a private good is a source of immense hope to so many young people who are first generation students, and to their families and communities. Maybe another challenge we have is to equip those young people, in addition to the knowledge and skills required of them in the workplace, also with the moral inclination to employ their education\/training (private good) to the benefit of broader society (public good), and make a substantive difference in our country in that way as well?<br \/>\nMagda Fourie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ons het die afgelope jaar op kampus heelwat gesprek gevoer oor die konsep \u201cPedagogie van Hoop\u201d en wat dit binne die konteks van Universiteit Stellenbosch sou kon beteken.
