Bringing orality into African higher education

Elizabeth W. Mburu and S. Trevor Yoakum examine how African teaching methods might be integrated into institutional higher education, with particular attention to theological education. The book frames this integration as a “fusion” grounded in orality and communication theory, setting the approach against learning theories developed in Western contexts. Alongside its discussion of educational philosophies, it includes practical lesson-planning exercises for classroom use. The combination of conceptual framing and teaching activities gives the book both a theoretical and applied focus on contextual approaches to education in Africa.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Theological educators considering context-specific approaches to teaching
  • Students of theological education and African higher education
  • Readers interested in orality, communication theory, and educational practice

Book overview

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Elizabeth W. Mburu and Dr. S. Trevor Yoakum present a new pedagogy for African higher education. Traditionally, theological education has followed learning theories developed in the West, which have failed to address the specific challenges faced by African learners. Exploring philosophies of education and developing a new pedagogical approach, Mburu and Yoakum engage with the concept of fusion, which is the creative combination of African teaching methods within institutional education. This fusion is built upon the principles of orality in communication theory. Deeply practical and insightful, the book also provides exercises in lesson planning for African pedagogy in the classroom. This is a must-read for theological educators and students in search of truly contextual African teaching methods.
