Learning Styles and Development – A Legal Analysis in South Africa

Abstract

Outcomes Based Education (OBE) forms part of Curriculum 2005 and is aimed at activating the minds of young people in a way that these young people are better able to participate in the economic and social spheres of life. South Africa’s OBE system is intended to ensure that everyone is able to achieve his or her maximum ability and is equipped for lifelong learning. Attempts have been made in this paper to show the shift from traditional outcomes-based education (hereafter OBE), transitional OBE and transformational OBE. The deductive and inductive strategies are noted in this paper and the different learning styles that can be applied in the field of law.
