Introduction
We want to welcome you to this module in Theoretical frameworks in Education. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy working through the prescribed book with its interactive text, with the additional assistance of this wrap-around guide. We hope you will find the content interesting and informative. Above all we hope that this module will inspire you to think about yourself, your teaching, your own context and the wider world around you. We use a pluralistic (more than one), problem-centred approach to expose you to several life views and the practical application of these frameworks in your specific situation. We want to emphasise that there is not one single solution to life's problems and questions; and there certainly is not one person with all the answers.

If you want to contact your lecturers, use the web page (myUnisa), email or telephone to continue with the conversations started in the prescribed book and the study guide. In this study guide we literally guide you through the
