Education-abroad programs have been available to the adventurous student in U.S. colleges and universities for many decades. Traditionally, European destinations were sought. Over time, opportunities expanded to include less overtly Western countries and cultures. What all of these diverse programs had in common, however, is that they led to so-called developed countries. Opportunities to study in Third World countries were not rigorously exploited, and the African continent was all but ignored.

During the mid-1920s, Francis Cecil Sumner, the first African American to earn a PhD in psychology, published 2 articles concerning strategies for the higher education of African American youths. These articles called for a system of segregated education emphasizing an "industrial" style advocated by Booker T. Washington, as well as suggesting a measure of character development. The justification cited by Sumner for such unequal education for African Americans was the cultural inferiority of...

Abstract The Department of Informatics at the University of Pretoria in South Africa has been involved in a research project funded by the Foundation for Research and Development (FRD) since 1996. The main focus of this project is to establish computer‐supported co‐operative learning centres in various rural communities. The case study described in this paper discusses a part of this project that was undertaken during 1998. The paper outlines the computer literacy course where co‐operative...

To simultaneously determine the effect of propofol on myocardial oxygenation, mitochondrial function, and whole organ function in an isolated heart model, using optical reflectance spectroscopy.Controlled laboratory investigation.Research laboratory.Twenty adult guinea pigs.Isolated hearts were perfused alternately with a modified oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer and with buffer containing varied concentrations of propofol. Ninety seconds of ischemia were produced during perfusion with each...

Research was conducted in the Northern Province Primary Mathematics Projects schools. In view of the high failure rate among matriculation students, the researcher believed that it was necessary that ways to improve mathematics understanding should be devised from the foundation level of schooling. He further believed that children learn better in a cooperative non-threatening classroom environment where they are free to participate. Research was conducted to evaluate the use of...

An analysis of the major sources of influence on management accounting education in South Africa reveals that management accounting education in South Africa is largely based on neo-classical economic theory. Regarding the sources, Faul et al. (1997), Redelinghuis et al. (1996), as well as the SIACA (1997) and CIS (1999) syllabi implicitly accept neo-classical economics as basis. Drury (1996) does so explicitly but also addresses alternative approaches to the subject. In the CIMA syllabus...

This study examines the extent of the gap between education and practice, in respect of management accounting in South Africa. The investigation is carried out by means of two surveys; the first among universities and technikons to determine what is taught by tertiary institutions and the second among consultants to ascertain what is being practised.It finds a significant overemphasis by education of simplistic mathematical models and quantitative techniques at the expense of strategic...
