Research Fellow (Education; Curriculum and pedagogy; Curriculum and pedagogy not elsewhere classified)

Welkom, Free State, South Africa

Zettie Venter is a Research Fellow at the Office for International Affairs, University of the Free State (UFS). For decades, prior to pursuing research in education, as a secondary educator, she was involved in teaching Agricultural Sciences, Natural Sciences as well as Physical Sciences, as Physics and Chemistry. Zettie was drawn into higher education as a facilitator of Chemistry to pre-graduate students and in turn was appointed as curriculum developer and designer at the UFS South Campus, later Centre of Teaching and Learning (CTL). Zettie relates to being a science educator who is continuously learning what it might mean to engage with a direct perception of complexity. Such neurodiversity, for her, encompasses a life-long vulnerability in trying to share embodied knowledge. During her doctoral study, she turned to the use of art materials which helped her to reveal an assumed power to represent a world detached from living in a world.
