This article explores the unwritten textbook of the folktale in the case of “Morongwa le Morongwanyana” [The Messenger and the Small messenger], a South African folktale recorded and published by A.T. Malepe. Against the background of current problems with the folktale tradition, it is argued that the unwritten textbook can help improve three educational practices, namely the practice of educating children at home, the practice of teaching and learning at school, and the practice of educational mass media. The nature and content of the unwritten textbook of the Batswana culture as defined by Ong (1982) and other scholars on orality are examined in a case study of the selected folktale. Lastly, the implications of the case study and of the unwritten textbook for the three practices are spelled out.

Teaching is changing and it is being forced to change by many forces of social change. Today’s theory and practice of teaching in adult and higher education are not only shaped by technology, but also by prevalent teaching and learning theories such as constructivism, progressive principles of education, humanism and even behaviorism. While behaviorism, a major component of pedagogical teaching, successfully dominated adult and higher education in the past, the purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate that we are experiencing a paradigm shift from being pedagogical in our instruction to an andragogical mode of education in the 21st century due to the fact that we do know, to some extent, how students learn. Therefore, the way knowledge is delivered in the new century must be changed in order to serve the needs of this learning society.

The reflections developed in this paper took place from a sentence that architect Botta pronounced during the conference ‘The Practice of Teaching’ held at the Biennale Architettura 2018 – 16th International Architecture Exhibition. In that context Botta stated “It is not possible to teach architecture, but it is possible to learn arc hitecture”1. This statement unveils the paradox inherent in architectural education on two different levels of reflection: first , reveals a truth about the different facets of architectural education that can be taught such as history, theory, technology etc., whereas the practice of architecture itself cannot be actually taught. The second stage of the reflection reveals an even more interesting feature of architectural education: design and the design practice are in fact taught but we do not have a clear understanding of how the process happens. Such anomaly suggests the existence of a nebulous space between teaching and learning in architecture and multiple questions arise from such reflections: how can one teach the matter of design? How is operational knowledge transferred from teachers to learners? Can one be trained on how to transfer knowledge or can one rely solely on their innate hunch?
