As traditional lecture styles have become nowadays less desirable and profitable, more and more demands are made on the part of both teachers and learners. One way of helping teachers fulfil their students' `growing' needs in the age of globalisation is through the introduction of technology in the classroom. The present paper, therefore, intends to exploit the notion of cultural responsiveness in an international online course called `Global Virtual Class' henceforth GVC. The project, which...

The contribution of quality religion education to development education in Africa is of great value in such a way that those who gain access to it should be able to make a constructive connection between religion education and development education.The main motivating reason for this study is that there is a general perception from some global regions where religious affiliation has promoted religious intolerance which in turn has promoted conflict, instead of reducing it.In this light the...

Recently acquired high-resolution aeromagnetic data over the Cretaceous middle Benue Trough of Nigeria have been analysed employing various edge-enhancement (magnetic derivative) methods: vertical derivatives, total horizontal derivative, analytic signal, and total horizontal derivative of tilt derivative. The study was aimed at mapping intra-sedimentary volcanic rocks and their areal extents/distribution as well as delineating geological structures, their structural trends and tectonic...

The impact of climate change on South African agriculture can depend on the location and type of crop. Investigating how climate change will affect maize, wheat, soya and fruits (grapes, citrus and mangoes) helps to identify viable adaptive techniques that can be used to mitigate potentially negative effects of the future climate.

This study aims to highlight the existing issues of e-learning in the developing country such as Nigeria. As e-learning becomes important in the delivery of education with less consideration for distance, time and cost, however, it is still a dream in some part of the world as some issues are presently unavoidable and rendered this important aspect of knowledge gain a less resourceful in Nigeria as a developing country. Issues such as computer ownership, internet access, epileptic...

Economic integration is a way of increasing World output of oil and gas production based on the economies of scale property and exchange of technology, ideas and information.Two major channels through which integration contributes to growth in the literature have been identified as trade and foreign direct investment.Recently, various integration proposals have been advanced for Africa, but the efficacy of integration on growth in Africa is far from being established.Again, since economic...

Physical activity levels among adolescents decline during their teenage years and into early adulthood. Socio-economic background plays an important role in adolescents’ physical activity, as children from rural communities participate less regularly in physical activities due to a lack of access to facilities, the cost of programmes and in general due to limited facilities. The focus of public health researchers has shifted from individual motivational theories on the participation in...

One of the more frequently cited cultural dimensions within the field of cultural research is that of cultural strength (Cameron & Ettington, 1998).Early published works on organisational culture argue that there is an absolute need for a "strong" culture for organisations to be effective.This study has examined the contradiction between the strong school culture and academic performance in Mpumalanga Province under the Bantu Education (DET) school system.The aim of the research was to...

Climate change and its projected impact on the environment and socio economic systems now constitute the most important environmental problem that faces the North-eastern Nigeria which has been classified as a draught prone zone of the country. As such, it becomes imperative to assess the trend of the climatic variability, as well as its effects on crop production and farmers’ adaptation strategies in coping with the changing climate. Data applied in this study were collected from the...

This article analyses a case study on Moroccan mothers’ involvement in the Dialogic Literary Gathering (DLG) in an urban primary school in Catalonia (Spain). DLG is a dialogic learning environment that improves reading skills and communicative abilities and promotes school–community links. This activity has been identified in previous European Union (EU)–funded large scale research, the INCLUD-ED project, as a successful educational action. Children’s results in standardised tests reported a...

This paper reports on an exploration into in-service teachers' pedagogical content knowledge required for the delivery of lessons in probability. The section on probability is taught in Mathematical Literacy to the middle school learners in South Africa. As a theoretical framework the work initiated in the nineteen eighties was sought. This paper adopted a refined framework into domains of pedagogical knowledge. The four domains are: Common Content Knowledge; Specialised Content Knowledge;...
