“…The introduction of democracy in 1994 led the reform of SA higher education institutions (HEIs) with "national political juncture and the macroeconomic policy" of the state that set out priori-ties for transformation of higher education (HE) (Lange, 2012). Two of the four priorities will be discussed in this article for context.…”

“…Firstly, the priority focused on effectiveness and efficiency of HEIs. The HE White Paper clarified that "…effec-tiveness was the achievement of the desired outcomes, and efficiency referred to the lack of duplication and waste" (Lange, 2012). These two indicators led to the restructuring of the HE system via mergers and incorporations.…”

Globalization has influenced the identity of universities worldwide to such an extent that they have become servants for economic growth by producing scientific knowledge and highly educated graduates. In a South African (SA) dispensation, the transformation of higher education (HE) focused on restructuring the system to meet the needs of a technology-orientated economy. The latter resulted in more specialized and complex university work that was reliant on technological devices for its completion.

“…Combining the periodisations of South African Higher Education policy developments proposed by Muller, Maassen & Cloete (2006), Badat (2009) and Lange (2012), Lange & Luescher-Mamashela (2016:112) propose the following three periods, with brief description of the defining characteristics of each in terms of policy development at system and institutional levels. …”

“…The Browne report -commissioned by the New Labour government -moves decisively away from the principle that governments should support universities to provide access at the highest level to the full range of human knowledge, understanding and creativity and to ensure that young people have the opportunity to develop their full intellectual and creative potential, regardless of family wealth. In its place comes a much cruder principle that the only university functions government supports are those that meet the immediate needs of the economy ... Lange (2012) se oorsig van die hervormingsinisiatiewe in hoër onderwys ná 1994 is besonder insiggewend vir die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Sy sonder vier hoofprioriteite van hierdie proses uit, en drie hiervan, naamlik "doeltreffendheid en effektiwiteit", "kwaliteitsbeheer" en "ontwikkeling", hou verband met groter aandrang van die regering op ekonomiese bydraes deur universiteite, hoewel, soos Lange aandui, dit nie altyd onmiddellik duidelik is uit die benoemings van die hervormingsprioriteite as sodanig nie.…”

Die taak van akademiese geletterdheid/hede binne die konteks van ’n markgedrewe universiteit

OpsommingDie vestiging van Akademiese Geletterdheid by tersiêre instansies in Suid-Afrika het gegroei uit die besef dat 'n goedontwikkelde akademiese taalvermoë essensieel is vir akademiese prestasie. Gepubliseerde literatuur getuig van die belangrike verskuiwings wat oor die afgelope aantal dekades plaasgevind het in sowel die konsepsie as praktiese toepassing van intervensies vir die vestiging en/of ontwikkeling van hierdie essensiële vermoëns by ons studente. Hierdie tipe verskuiwings getuig van 'n gesonde dinamiek en is noodsaaklike groeipyne by 'n ontluikende akademiese dissipline. Hierdie referaat handel oor een van die veranderlikes wat verreken moet word in die vraag na die taak van Akademiese Geletterdheid, naamlik dié van kontemporêre verskuiwings in die aard van die universiteit as instansie. Daar word aangevoer dat die mees grondliggende van hierdie verskuiwings saamhang met 'n globale tendens wat neerkom op die algemene uitbreiding van 'n besigheids-of markgerigtheid as vertrekpunt en maatstaf vir alle areas van die sosiale lewe, insluitende openbare instansies soos universiteite. So 'n markgerigtheid gaan in die hedendaagse korporatiewe universiteit ook hand aan hand met toenemende burokratisering met 'n aandrang op die monitering, optekening, evaluering en verrekening van akademiese aktiwiteite as "uitsette". Ten einde ons eie ervaring van die institusionele karakter van die hedendaagse universiteit in perspektief te stel, word daar gekyk na aspekte van die geskiedkundige ontwikkeling van die universiteit as instansie en na ouer sowel as meer onlangse sienings van kritici in die breër internasionale arena. Die ontwikkeling van 'n kritiese bewussyn van hierdie tipe verskuiwings en die sosiale kragte wat dit onderlê en van die vermoë om 'n eie standpunt hieroor te verwoord word gesien as deel van die taak van Akademiese Geletterdheid, of eerder "Akademiese Geletterdhede" soos gekonsipieer in die werk van teoretici soos Brian Street en die New London Group. Ek wil 'n saak daarvoor uitmaak dat hierdie vakgebied die potensiaal én verantwoordelikheid het om 'n sentrale rol te speel binne die "nuwe" universiteit om ons studente voor te berei vir die "nuwe" wêreld waarheen ons hulle op weg moet help.
