| dc.description.abstract | One of the objectives of education is to promote ethical behaviour among learners. The African
educational system inculcated ethics among members of society and produced ethically and morally
upright individuals for generations. With the introduction of formal education, the responsibility of
inculcating ethics to children was taken up by schools. Despite the enormous investment in
education over the years and the high academic qualification of graduates leaving the school, the
level of impunity, corruption, negative ethnicity and intolerance has remained a major concern
among educationists and stakeholders. There is need to investigate the influence of deconstruction
and reconstruction of Kenyan education curriculum on ethics among learners. The study established
that, deconstruction and reconstruction of curriculum with inclusion of practical-oriented activities
in classroom, community based approaches and co-curricular activities would help influence ethics.
It is hoped that the findings of this study will provide useful information to curriculum developers,
implementers, planners, policy makers and other stakeholders on ways of integrating African
indigenous education into contemporary education to influence ethical values. | en_US |
