dc.description.abstract	Adult education in South Africa is at a developmental stage as it has moved from the national Department of Basic Education to the Department of Higher Education and Training in April 2015. Hence adult learners are still taught using the western approach to Pedagogy (child teaching approach) since the introduction of adult education early in the1970s. The objective of this study was to find out if African Social Constructivism as an adult teaching approach in Gauteng District 6, guides adult teaching? This study was qualitative and a questionnaire plus interviews were employed. The study made a distinct comparison between African Traditional view of education and the western form of education. The findings of this study shows that African Social Constructivism as an approach seems not to be guiding adult teaching in Gauteng District 6. Consequently, African Social Constructivism is defended and justified because it recognises immanent adult respect and human dignity of all adult learners in South African adult centres.	en
