The Role of Indigenous Games in Education: A Technology and Environmental Education Perspective
Tsebo Kgoto Matsekoleng; Tomé Awshar Mapotse; Mishack Thiza Gumbo
Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, v18 n1 p68-82 2024
This conceptual study explores the role that indigenous games can play in teaching Technology Education (TE) while integrating Environmental Education (EE). Relevant literature is reviewed to achieve this aim. Indigenous games can assist TE teachers in their teaching while also shaping learners' attitudes toward the environment. Waste, among other things, presents an opportunity for TE teachers to teach the subject meaningfully to indigenous learners. Indigenous learners will be able to use what they have learned through indigenous games to address the problem of environmental degradation. Waste reduction, recycling, and reuse enable learners and teachers to apply their imagination and creativity to care for the environment within each of the four TE themes. The integration of indigenous games into learners' learning activities makes learning relevant to learners' cultural knowledge and worldviews. It also helps TE teachers overcome school resource limitations and learn while modifying the TE content and teaching techniques.
