“…When undertaken in “undeveloped” Africa, for example, research tends to focus on rural areas and characterize children’s music as “indigenous,” associated with past traditions assumed to be untouched by outside influences (Addo, 1997; Akuno, 1997; Kreutzer, 2001; Mapana, 2011). Allied to this is a propensity to adopt a hermetic view of culture, where children learn “the essential characteristics of the music of their culture” (Campbell, 2006, p. 427) and ethnic groups are assumed to be distinct (Makina, 2009; Nyota & Mapara, 2008; Roux, 2006). Such studies may display a set of assumptions about the nature of cultures that limits the researcher’s interest in expressing what is contextually specific.…”

“…Music education research in Africa considers the relationship between children’s music and the classroom, emphasizing the cultural relevance and socially educative content of indigenous games and songs (Abarry, 1989; Addo, 1997; Akuno, 1997; Dzansi, 2002; Makina, 2009; Mapana, 2011; Marfo & Biersteker, 2011; Nyota & Mapara, 2008). The tendency is to interpret the implications of children’s play for classroom practice on the level of “cultural relevance” as ways of teaching indigenous content (Dzansi, 2004), for “social education” (Nyota & Mapara, 2008), or to teach curricula learning outcomes (Roux, Burnett, & Hollander, 2008). This research suggests a reiteration of the games rather than considering the forms of musical learning implied in their practice.…”

“…In the C2005 curriculum, Physical Education , which had previously been an independent subject in the school curriculum, became an integrated theme of a freshly drafted subject entitled Life Orientation . Due to academic criticism and poor scholastic performance, C2005 was, in turn, rewritten, becoming the National Curriculum Statement in 2002 (Rajput & Van Deventer, 2010; Roux et al, 2008). In this updated curriculum, Physical Education continued to be structured as a theme of study within the greater subject of Life Orientation , but its nomenclature was changed to Physical Development and Movement .…”

“…These studies also agree that active participation in playful physical activities could develop a positive conception of society (Gould & Carson 2008;Katilmiş 2017). Roux et al 2008;Spacey 2017). In this study, PE teachers stated that 'teachers must physically display these values in themselves, they must model them'.…”

“…This therefore could contribute to juvenile delinquency (Aneja 2014). Although the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes is uniquely structured in different societies through informal and formal learning practices (Roux, Burnett & Hollander 2008), schools have an important role to play because most values are gained and shared at educational institutions.…”
