# 1.2 SOCIALISATION MODELS: learner profile reflects community & wider society education serves
i) assimilation: acceptance of a minor group by major pop in which minor group takes over values &
norms of de dominant culture completely. A+B+C=A
ii) amalgamation / melting-pot model: creation & development of entirely, unique, distinctive culture into
new homogenous society by eradicating cultural differences through education. A+B+C=D
iii) open society ideology: individual interests given priority by rejecting any basis upon which group are
formed, eg. ethnicity, faith, language etc. A+B+C=O
1.2.1Culturally Pluralistic Models: relate to cultural, religious, ethnically diverse society where several
ethnic groupings co-exist, each living in communities separate from each other.
i) structural pluralism / classic cultural / external / isolated / vertical pluralism: process where no inter-
group contact is promoted, by accepting cultural pluralism as part of a modern city, but advocating
separate development of structural& institutional systems like education, language, legal systems
etc. A+B+C = A+B+C
ii) modified cultural pluralism: acknowledges cultural diversity but favours greater interaction between
different groups. A+B+C = A1+B1+C1 ( 1s represent same group after change due to reciprocal
influencing takes place)
iii) dynamic cultural pluralism is an expanded form of MCP, acknowledging importance of individual
ethnic identity of groups, but considers emphasis on this too narrow / restrictive for free group
formation. Cultural diversity is recognised with an outlook to free association /interaction between
groups on basis of politics, race, ethnicity, language, socio-economics etc. so as to gear towards
social concerns & solving community problems.
#1.3.1.3 ATTEMPTS TO PROMOTE INTEGRATION: plans to desegregate schools
i) “Pairing & Clustering” : “pairing”= white & black schools were joined through cooperative agreement,
where white & black learners were taught together up to a certain grade in a white school &
thereafter at the black school or vice versa.
“clustering” = same thing but more than one school collaborated in this way.
ii) “Busing”: (system of bus transport) = learners conveyed from one neighborhood to others so as to
ensure a specific race ratio. New school board boundaries established where they were allowed to
accommodate only certain grades, & sites for new schools chosen so parents were obliged to send
to specific schools so that race ratio is in proportion.
iii) “ magnet schools/ educatuional parks: attempt to promote voluntary integration by offering education
of outstanding quality in a bid to convince parents to enroll their kids at the school.
iv) Supplementary education: by arranging smaller classes & making available English revision
textbooks, psychologists & social workers in a bid to aid black learners to adjust & fully integrate
into new desegregated educational dispensation.
