One of the core functions of universities the world over is the generation of new knowledge through research and innovations. African universities have been facing mammoth challenges, especially on their role in research. This is partly due to their weak internal capacities for research and low numbers of staff with PhDs, which is also crucial for their growth and self-renewal. This article analyses the state of doctoral training in Africa with some insights into its implications for...

Since 1994, the South African government has promulgated large-scale policy overhauls to redress the segregated and unequal apartheid era education system. Despite some progress, the system continues to exhibit inequality. Through a textual analysis, this chapter analyses and critically reflects on 20 pieces of education policy and legislation promulgated from 1994 to 2019. Using the conceptual lens of social justice and focusing on vulnerable groups of learners who come from poor...

A model for funding and ranking of universities was constructed by a group of practising teachers during an introductory immersion course on mathematical modelling and the applications of mathematics. The group presented their model to other members of the participating cohort of teachers. Interactions between the group who constructed the model and their peers during this presentation were analysed. The overall analysis was anchored around the notions of internal and external reflections...

Goal: To determine the impact of deafness on the schooling of children in Casamance and the factors that characterize these repercussions.Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional and multicenter study carried out in the ENT departments of the peace and regional hospitals of Ziguinchor over a period of 7 years from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2019.It included hearing impaired children aged 1 to 18. Results: 178 hearing impaired children were collected during the...

The teaching of mathematics in primary schools in Uganda is often by telling. This often leads to learners disliking the subject and even dodging lessons. In this chapter, we report on a research project called the Rutindo Maths + Culture that was funded by The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia. The project investigated why primary mathematics lessons in Uganda are deprived of teaching aids that are of cultural artefacts. The study was conducted in five primary schools in...

About 1 billion stunted school-aged children are growing up with impaired mental development which can lead to low cognitive performance, reduced school achievement, and low productivity. But there is scarce evidence on cognitive function, school performance and their associated factors among school aged children. The main aim of this study was to assess cognitive function, school performance and determine their association with nutritional status among school children aged 7 to 10 years at...

The study interrogated the reasons that underlie student entrepreneurship, the nature of student entrepreneurship, and the outcomes of student entrepreneurship, the challenges encountered and how the students cope with the challenges. Theoretically, the study is informed by the human agency theory that views entrepreneurship as an intentional goal by students to satisfy their varied goals. The study was qualitative since the study sought to capture the voices of student entrepreneurs....

The chapter concerns prescriptive mathematical modelling and the development of critical competence. The potential of such modelling examples to promote critical discussions about the role of mathematical models in society is argued. A study is presented in which Norwegian and South African prospective teachers critically discuss a task dealing with a mathematical model, the Body Mass Index. The question posed in this chapter focuses on critical issues that come to the fore during the...

Writing is an important language skill, and learning to write is not an easy endeavour, especially for English as a foreign language (EFL) students. An effective EFL writing instruction, therefore, plays a significant role in helping EFL students deal with writing problems efficiently and approach writing tasks effectively. Based on this premise, the present study aims at investigating the effect of two alternative writing approaches, process and product, on Moroccan EFL students’ writing...

This article discusses a detailed overview of the paradigm shift as a result of contemporary socio-economic and environmental changes, and their implications to the continuity in intergenerational transfer of traditional ecological knowledge. The continuity of intergenerational transfer of TEK faces challenges due to a number of factors, but most importantly being the erosion of traditional platforms for common sharing about the environment or environmental changes. The information presented...
