| Abstract | Reciprocal learning among educators in two communities in KwaZulu -Natal This research sets out to analyze the adult learning practices between two groups of secondary school teachers from historically differently resourced schools in the context of a partnership. It seeks to test the nature of the partnership which exists between these schools, and explore the nature of the learning which takes place between the teachers as adult learners. It presents the growth in the learning path between these schools as partners, and points to what will contribute to true reciprocity in this and other community development partnerships where knowledge is a shared resource. It points to personal and community growth in a project which reflects historical apartheid differences between these partners, and suggests how they can move toward disentanglement from potential negative patterns of relating and learning. Reflections on the literature illustrate the issues surrounding the nature of learning among adult learners in shared community relationships. It looks at views on the nature of power relations in community partnerships among adult learners, and contributes to the development of a social learning theory perspective on learning within Communities of Practice. Methodologically this research is qualitative in nature, and has used interaction within the wider Social Responsibility Programme of St Agnes College as a field for interaction. Within that wider programme specifically, the mathematics partnership between Umdodo High School (UHS) and St Agnes was used for data collection. STUART MICHAEL MENNIGKE M.
