The low demonstrable effect of education research done in South Africa in particular – and Africa in general – continues to be a problem in scientific records in the educational sciences. This scholarly collected work addresses this obstacle and focuses on recommendations from scholars in different sectorial categories in the field of education. Scholars from a variety of sub-fields within the educational sciences reflect on this particular matter, revisiting the history of research and...

The study was conducted in North Gonder Zone to identify the climate change variables and farmer’s indigenous climate change adaption strategies. The study took a sample of 130 farmers by using appropriate sampling techniques. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze farmer’s indigenous climate change adaption strategies quantitative. Besides, qualitative data were analyzed through narration. Different...

This study was aimed at investigating the integration of cultural elements into upper primary school social science curriculum materials in Oromia regional state, Ethiopa. To attain this objective, two social science curriculum materials were selected randomly to enhance the generalizability of the findings to the whole population. Thereafter, 364 (50%) different paragraphs were selected by using simple random sampling technique. Quantitative research method, more specifically, content...

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Target 4.2 identifies ‘pre-primary education’ as a strategy to strengthen school readiness and contribute to the quality and outcomes of education, which is supported by the powerful evidence from evaluation research. This chapter explores the opportunities and challenges of delivering quality early learning for all, through a case study of Ethiopia’s plans to scale-up Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). Ethiopia is one of four...

Vegetation phenology is an integrative environmental indicator of climate change and long-term observations of the changes in plant phenology using remote sensing technologies help us to understand climate change trends over space and time. However, such trends and their implications for ecosystem health have been poorly explored in Ethiopia. In this paper we examine the temporal changes in the phenology of vegetation in relation to climatic drivers across Ecoregions in Ethiopia using...

Climate change is approximately positively the preponderance difficult and tricky environmental problem opposite the earth today.Outstanding to El Nino Southern Oscillation effect on climates especially mounting stage of temperature, heat intensity, changed level of precipitation, seasonal droughts and cyclones, floods and forest fires become clear evidence that the climate change Africa (UNFCCC, 2007).The review was aimed the impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate changes...

Student – centered physical education is a modern teaching strategy which students learn basic knowledge, skills, techniques and tactics of physical education through active involvement of the whole students by using different types of teaching strategy rather than dominated by teachers though lecture method. The main purpose of this study was to investigate major problems in the implementation of active learning methods in physical education classes in Kotebe College of teacher education...

Combination of poor soil fertility and climate change and variability is the biggest obstacle to agricultural productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa. While each of these factors requires different promising adaptive and climate-resilient options, it is important to be able to disaggregate their effects. This can be accomplished with ordinary agronomic trials for soil fertility and climate year-to-year variability, but not for long-term climate change effects. In turn, by using climate historical...

Water utilities face the difficult challenge of balancing affordable water service provision and covering the costs of operation and maintenance (O&M) and sustainability reserves through water sales revenue - approximately 70% of all utilities globally do not fully cover costs with revenue. In April 2016, Safe Water Network (SWN) increased prices at 29 of its 35 Safe Water Stations in Ghana to adjust for increasing variable costs and high inflation. SWN analysed sales and consumer data...

College students are prone to stress, making them vulnerable to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Harmful health behaviors, such as tobacco or alcohol use, further predispose students to hypertension (HTN). African-Americans (AA) experience increased blood pressure reactivity, and weathering, due to race-related stressors. This interplay makes AA college students good targets for strategies to prevent stress and HTN disease risk. This project examined the relationship between mindfulness,...

This study tries to identify practical challenges of teaching democracy in secondary schools in Addis Ababa using qualitative research method. The data was collected by interviews, document analysis and classroom observations. The most important finding shows that there is a discrepancy between the theoretical part of teaching democracy in the classroom and the actual practice in the society. Moreover, instead of working for democracy, there seems to be expecting from others. Creating...

The Role of Local Government in the Adaptation and Mitigation of Climate Change in the Agricultural Sector in the Northern Region of Ghana Richard Nalarb Yakubu Abstract Responding to the challenge of climate change through adaptation and mitigation require the participation of different stakeholders including individuals, civil society organisations and government. This study examined the role of local government in the adaptation and mitigation of climate change in one of the rain-fed...
