Hearing in primary school children in an iodine-deficient population in Chinamhora, Zimbabwe. - Ch, Todd; Sanders, Diane; Chimanyiwa, T (PubMed, 1988)
Chinamhora, Zimbabwe is an area of known endemic goiter and iodine deficiency. Out of 211 primary school children living in the area who had been recruited for a study of the effects of iodine administration, 121 were randomly selected for audiometric testing. All had normal hearing. One further child already noted to have hearing difficulties was tested and found to have fairly severe bilateral nerve deafness, although this was unlikely to have been due to endemic cretinism. Urine iodine/creatinine ratios in 61 out of the 211 children were mostly in the range 50-100 micrograms/g. There is no general impairment of hearing associated with mild to moderate iodine deficiency in this population.

Physical training at low temperature promotes metabolic adaptation to cold in the guinea-pig - Huttunen, Pirkko; Kruk, Barbara; Kortelainen, Marja-Leena; Kinnula, Vuokko L.; Hirvonen, J. (Journal of thermal biology, 1988)
Abstract 1. 1.|Guinea-pigs were housed at +4°C for four weeks; two groups were studied, one sedentary and a trained group undergoing running for one hour a day 7 days/week. 2. 2.| V O 2 was measured after two and four weeks' adaptation at + 4°C before and after the administration of noradrenalin (NA). After four weeks the oxidative capacity of interscapular adipose tissue (IAT) was determined. 3. 3.|NA increased V O 2 in the trained animals more than in the controls after two and four weeks' adaptation. Training induced BAT-like characteristic in the IAT. The total protein content was greater and the activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) was increased in the trained animals compared with the controls. 4. 4.|In conclusion, results suggest that long-term physical training during prolonged cold exposure promotes metabolic adaptation to cold in the adult guine-pig.

Prevalence of blindness and visual impairment in the Luapula Valley, Zambia. - Ty, Sukwa; Dh, Mwandu; Tc, Ngalande; Siziya, S; Mukunyandela, M (PubMed, 1988)
A community based cross-sectional study on the prevalence and causes of blindness and visual impairment was carried out between August and December 1985 in the Luapula Valley. The study population consisted of 2503 villagers aged 6 years and above. Visual acuity was done on every participant whereas slit-lamp examination and ophthalmoscopy were done on selected individuals when indicated. The overall prevalence of monocular and bilateral blindness was 6.9% and 3.6% respectively. Cataracts and corneal opacities were the most common causes of visual loss in those aged 50 years and above. We conclude that blindness is an important public health problem in this valley and that this data provides a background that can be used to evaluate blindness prevention programmes that will be implemented in the future.

Contextualization of Teaching Methodology in Theological Education in Africa. - Bowen, Dorothy N.; Bowen, Earle Andrew (1988)
Differences between the learning styles of Western and African students are highlighted in this discussion of theological education in African schools. Since many of the teachers in theological institutions are either westerners, or have been educated in the West, Western learning style is the one most rewarded in the classroom, and those students who do best in the schools are those who have a Western learning style. The traditional American learning style is field independent while the African student has a field dependent learning style. Eighteen teaching strategies, specifically designed to address the field dependent learning style are described, with the suggestion that these strategies will be most successful in theological instruction in African countries.

Developing health education for oral rehydration therapy at a rural Nigerian Clinic: Part I - Brieger, William R.; Ramakrishna, Jayashree; Chirwa, Ben; Arday-Kotei, Mary (Patient Education and Counseling, 1988)
Diarrhoea and resulting dehydration are major causes of morbidity and mortality among young children in developing countries. Child survival initiatives are focusing on oral replacement of lost fluids and electrolytes as a feasible intervention. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) rests heavily on health education since its ultimate aim is to encourage mothers to prepare and use sugar-salt solution (SSS) and other fluids at home during bouts of diarrhoea. Educational efforts to date have relied on mass media, home visits and clinic health talks, singly or in combination. The educational potentials for the ORT Unit based in a clinic and using a patient education model are now being explored. The unit provides a setting where new skills can be practiced and traditional beliefs synthesized with modern scientific ideas. The experience at an ORT Unit in rural Igbo-Ora, Nigeria, demonstrates the potential for developing an interactive, culturally relevant clinic-based diarrhoea education programme that could form the base for community outreach and awareness.

The changing policy on the basic nursing education system in South Africa and in its independent and self-governing states - Dlamini, DM; Mashaba, T.G. (Nurse Education Today, 1988)
General developments have brought about the need to effect changes and innovations in nursing education in South Africa and in its states with the view to improving the quality of patient care. A more recent development is the new nursing education policy and the restructuring of the basic preparation of nurses in line with the comprehensive health service and the goal of health for all by the year 2000. The historical development and the current nursing education system is basically the same in South Africa and in those states falling within South Africa's borders, but in order to provide a clearer picture these states are here being presented in respective groupings.

Secondary school education for girls in Kenya : the need for a more science-based curriculum to enhance women's greater participation in development - Kinyanjui, Kabiru (1988)
The paper outlines the important role women have and continue to play in agriculture, health, co-operatives and informal sector activiti It then looks at the educational opportunities available to them and particularly in the field of sciencc and technology. Data is provided which indicates shortcomings in this field. The paper then argues for concerted efforts to improve the access of girls to quality science education especially at the secondary school level and thereby uplift the scientific literacy and skills of women. lihile the paper argues for continued attention to factors which initially hinder access of girls to formal education, it recommends increased focus on what goes on within the education system. The quality, diversity and effectiveness of curriculum offered at all levels.o the schooling systeri should therefore be a matter of critical concern. Stress should be given to quality sciencc curriculum not only to improve the competitiveness of women in formal sector opportunities but much mere so to enhance their masterly of scientific and technological knowledge and skills necessary for participation in various spheres of development.

Juvenile Periodontitis (Periodontosis) in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital - Kulasekara, B (The journal of the Royal Society of Health, 1988)
A STUDY OF the pattern of juvenile periodontitis (periodontosis) as observed in the University College Hospital, Ibadan was carried out, through a period of one year. The age group was only confined from 14-25 years, and the patients selected for the study were only those patients in the above age group reporting to the Hospi tal's Dental Centre, immaterial of what the patients' main complaint was. It was revealed that there was a high rate of patients attending this Institution with juvenile periodontitis. Further it is quite alarming to note that all the patients examined on their first visits had a clinically observable and detactable chronic gingivitis, some even transitioned to a chronic periodontitis. Routine investigations further revealed a few cases of undetected diabetes and one case of Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (hyperkeratosis palmoplantaris).

Role of hydrological forecasts and river flow modelling in rational agricultural water management in the perspective of a climate change — A case study of the Rivers Upper Nile and Niger - Němec, Jaromír (Agricultural Water Management, 1988)
Abstract An international scientific conference under the auspices of WMO, UNEP and ICSU on the role of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases in climate variation made a statement that, if the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere doubles in the near future as present trends indicate, the global mean surface temperature would increase by 1.5–4.5°C. The paper discusses the impact such a climate change may have on water resources and on their management in agriculture. It stresses the importance of the possible increase in variance and frequency of extreme climatic events and subsequent water yield. It further outlines the ways of exploring the consequences of such development by using hydrological and water management models. It also proposes that real-time hydrological forecasting systems, able to produce forecasts with long, medium and short lead times, are one of the most effective measures to offset possible negative effects of the climate change, by increasing the effectiveness of storage management. These propositions are documented by means of case studies from developing countries using models on the River Nile, in particular in the basin of Lake Victoria, and of a hydrological forecasting system on the River Niger. It is proposed that it is important to develop a simulation model of the whole River Nile, together with a real-time forecasting system on the river in order to operate efficiently existing and future storages. Modelling of climate change impact on the water yields of River Niger is also discussed.

Transfer of Cognitive Academic Competence and L2 Reading in a Rural Zimbabwean Primary School - Roller, Cathy M. (TESOL Quarterly, 1988)
Evidence for transfer of academic competence between Shona and English was examined to determine when instruction in L2 reading should begin for native Shona speakers. Third-, fourth-, and fifthgrade children attending a rural Zimbabwean primary school participated in the study. The children, who were receiving reading instruction both in Shona and in English, were randomly assigned to take one of four vocabulary tests. The tests, designed to examine the transfer of academic competence, measured the effects of language (Shona or English), translation (original or translation), and grade level. Analysis of the data indicated that with the exception of the fifth graders, there was little evidence of transfer of language skills between languages. The results suggest that these children might benefit from a delay in the introduction of L2 reading. The data are consistent with Cummins's (1985) transfer threshold hypothesis and may explain the inefficiency of L2 reading instruction. However, since the data reported in this study are drawn from a single case of a single rural primary school, the conclusions must be regarded as tentative and subject to replication.

Gas Bursts from Cameroon Crater Lakes: A New Natural Hazard - Sigurdsson, Haraldur (Disasters, 1988)
Gas bursts from tropical crater lakes constitute a hitherto unrecognized natural hazard, which claimed 37 lives around Lake Monoun in 1984 and 1,746 lives in 1986 around Lake Nyos in Cameroon, west Africa. Studies of these events indicate that the lethal gas clouds were dominantly CO 2 which exsolved catastrophically from deep waters of the lakes, producing in the case of Lake Nyos a gas cloud of 1.94 times 10 6 tons CO 2 . Carbon‐isotope data indicate a magmatic source of the carbon dioxide, but the geochemistry of deep water and gases does not support a sudden injection of volcanic gas from a deep source into the lakes. Rather, it is proposed that the gas bursts were preceded by gradual build‐up of dissolved bicarbonate in deep waters, where anoxic conditions in enclosed and stagnant basins led to low pH and pCO 2 close to saturation. Steady input from the Earth's mantle to submerged mofettes or CO 2 ‐rich soda springs within the lakes is most likely the primary source of carbon dioxide. Lethal effects of the gas bursts are almost entirely due to CO 2 ‐induced asphyxia. A small percentage of victims awoke from coma one or two days after the event, but most died. Unusual skin lesions on about 5% of victims arose from the comatose state. It is shown that the mass of gas required to account for the lethal effects and observed gas clouds is an order of magnitude less than the potential gas yield from the lakes. In view of the lethal gas bursts from the small Cameroon lakes, the potential hazard of future gas bursts from other much larger density‐stratified equatorial lakes must be seriously considered, particularly in Lake Kivu in east Africa, where methane and carbon dioxide gas content is higher by two to four orders of magnitude than that of the Cameroon lakes. A gas burst from Lake Kivu would form a carbon dioxide cloud up to 340 km 3 in volume and expansion of the exsolving gas from deep water to atmospheric pressure would correspond to an energy release equivalent to 8 megatons of explosive.

Pediculosis among urban and rural school children in Kumba, Meme division, south-west Cameroon. - Ds, Awahmukalah; Js, Dinga; J, Nchako Njikam (PubMed, 1988)
Pediculosis is an important and common health problem in both urban and rural areas of Kumba. Out of a total of 2,312 children examined (1,462 urban and 850 rural), there was a rather disquieting overall infestation rate of 31.6% in the urban and 32.6% in the rural schools, respectively, and there was a much higher incidence of infestation among girls (36.3% urban, 35.1% rural) than boys (26.9% urban, 30.0% rural). Pubic infestation was more rampant among girls aged 13-15 years (0.3%) than boys (0.1%) of the same age-group, an age which coincides with the characteristic pubertal development of pubic hair. There was a higher incidence of lice infestation in the 9-12 year age-group (33.6% urban, 33.3% rural) than in both the 5-8 year age-group (29.3% urban, 31.6% rural) and the 13-18 year age-group (31.1% urban, and 31.7% rural). Given the nature of Cameroonian society with its African extended family system and its peculiar hospitality traits, it was not possible to correlate socioeconomic status of the children with their infestation rates. Additionally, the schools studied were not class-oriented thus social mixing occurred. Body hygiene has become a mere theoretical exercise in today's schools. Children are neither closely monitored for body cleanliness nor expelled for scandalously poor and unkempt hair and clothing. Inspection of children must be stepped up in order to improve these declining health standards.

Storm rainfall on the Njemps flats, baringo district, Kenya - Rowntree, Kate (Journal of climatology, 1988)
Abstract Annual, seasonal and storm rainfall characteristics are analysed for the Njemps Flats, a semi‐arid area near Lake Baringo in the Kenya Rift Valley. Storm rainfall is analysed in terms of intensity, timing, duration and total storm depth. Storms characteristically occur in the early evening, with one storm of around 2 h making up the daily rainfall totals. High intensity rainfall seldom persists longer than 30 min. The maximum 30 min intensity recorded was 80 mm/h, the maximum 60 min intensity was 75 mm/h. An analysis of annual and monthly recurrence intervals of storm depth indicate that for a 1 in 10 year recurrence interval, June, July and April suffer the heaviest falls, whereas for a 1 in 2 year recurrence interval the months with the heaviest storms become August, July and April. The significance of this to erosion potential and runoff harvesting are discussed.

In this, the third of a three-part series of articles in which we emphasise the urgent need for and propose steps towards a comprehensive strategy for the control of HIV infection, we highlight the fundamental importance of an education campaign and the three critical essentials for a successful campaign. The first concerns the responsibility of the State in administering the programme, in providing adequate funds on an on-going basis and in delegating responsibility for the day-to-day activities to the appropriate local authorities and non-governmental organisations. The second relates to the need to establish a multidisciplinary AIDS group representative of groups at risk and of relevant scientific expertise to ensure that appropriate policies are developed and that changes to policy are made in response to changing circumstances, based on sound epidemiological, managerial and educational principles. These must take particular account of circumstances peculiar to South Africa, such as the migrant labour system, which may promote both promiscuity and homosexuality. Thirdly, the need to ensure open, appropriate communication with the groups at risk and the public at large in the development, implementation and evaluation of the education campaign is emphasised. In this context we plead for more psychosocial research. These recommendations were reached largely by consensus, although there were occasions when individual authors condoned recommendations with which they did not personally agree.

Condoms to be distributed to police, army and students, Tanzania. (PubMed, 1988)
The government-run Daily News says the Tanzanian government will distribute condoms to students, soldiers, and policemen as part of its 5-year program to control AIDS. The program also includes improved screening of donated blood and promotion of the use of sterile instruments in hospitals. The newspaper quotes Dr. Justin Nguma of the national AIDS control committee as saying the condoms are being donated by the World Health Organization. Students, soldiers, and police officers were chosen to receive the condoms because they are seen as sexually active sectors of the population, and because they are generally young. However, he said these groups did not represent sources of AIDS infection. He says Tanzania has recorded over 3,000 AIDS cases. The country's AIDS program also includes a publicity campaign about AIDS and counseling for those with the disease.

AIDS education for a low literate audience in Zambia. - Ak, Msimuko (PubMed, 1988)
A workshop funded by the USA Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) was an effort by Zambia toward prevention and control of AIDS. The lack of educational materials about AIDS for a low-literate audience was the major problem addressed by the workshop. Other problems include the lack of collaborative effort in the development of materials on AIDS, and the lack of skills needed in the development of such materials in Zambia. 1 of the objectives of the workshop was to launch the Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia's (PPAZ) materials development project. The scope of this project includes the production of educational materials on AIDS for low-literate audiences and a counseling handbook for family planning workers. Print materials should be simply written, using words, idioms, and graphics that are familiar to the target audience. Other workshop objectives included the establishment of collaborative relationships between organizations involved in existing AIDS educational activities in Zambia, and the development of practical skills needed to produce print materials. Education was identified as the most important strategy for the prevention and control of AIDS, and PPAZ should be the executing agency of the print materials project. Audience research, using focus group techniques, focus group discussions, behavioral messages, and pretesting of messages, should be the most effective means of reaching targeted audiences. PPAZ is contracted by PATH to begin development of educational materials, and 2 committees have formed to implement the project and to establish interagency collaboration. Audience research was begun between January and March of 1988, focusing on people's beliefs, practices, and ideas about AIDS. The final phase of the project will be the printing, distribution, and use of the AIDS materials and the training of family planning field workers in the proper use of these materials.

Comment on “Ra-Th disequilibria systematics: Timescale of carbonatite magma formation at Oldoinyo Lengai volcano, Tanzania” - Gittins, J. (Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1988)
This paper discusses potential flaws in study by Williams, Gill, and bruland (1986) dealing with the extreme disequilibria between uranium and thorium series nuclides in alkalic carbonatite lava specimens. It discusses the apparent discrepencies between chemical compositions of lava which were reported from the same eruption. Clarification is made on the actual timing of eruptions in this volcanic region and the effects this would have on the petrogenesis interpretation of these rocks.

State education policy and the social reproduction of the Urban African working class: the case of the Southern Transvaal 1955–1976 - Hyslop, Jonathan (Journal of Southern African Studies, 1988)
Between its establishment in 1955, and the beginnings of its collapse in the student rebellion of 1976, the Bantu Education system significantly restructured the patterns of social reproduction of South Africa's urban African working class. This paper seeks to examine this restructuring process. It argues, firstly, that Bantu Education has to be understood as a system which helped reproduce differentiated forms of labour power. The system underpinned the gap that opened up between urbanised and migrant labour forces, and in its later years increasingly generated varying types of labour power within the urban work force. Secondly, Bantu Education is not viewed as a static entity, but as a policy which underwent significant changes as the outcome of social conflicts over education. In our chosen period these conflicts predominantly occurred within and between various capitalist interests and various arms of the state. But the dominated classes' expression of their interests in various forms also affected education policy. In recent years, radical analysis of Bantu Education has been deeply influenced by the Cheap Labour Power Thesis (CLPT) developed in the work of Harold Wolpe' and Martin Legassick. 2 To summarise crudely a complex and subtle argument,3 the thesis asserted that the maintenance of pre-capitalist agriculture in rural South Africa enabled urban employers to pay below-subsistence wages to migrant workers, thus providing the basis for a cheap labour system. In this view, the reproduction of migrant workers' families, and of migrant workers themselves, was displaced to the 'reserves' thus freeing capitalists from bearing the social costs of urbanisation. With the collapse of agriculture in the reserves and burgeoning industrialisation in the

Self-help training for planning urban development: An innovation in on-the-job learning in Nigeria - Mattingly, Michael (Public Administration and Development, 1988)
Abstract Forced to be innovative, a short course conducted in Nigeria for urban planners produced good results, although the bulk of the direction and teaching was provided by government town planners with no previous teaching experience. A crucial factor appears to have been the course structure, which was not only based upon learning while performing a project, but also required repetition of the project tasks in two cycles. The learning was enhanced because the project was a piece of work from the current programme of the planning agency which operated the course. This effect, and the utility of the conclusions of the project work, are likely to contribute significantly to the institutional development of the planning agency. There are important implications for further training of this kind in Nigeria, implying that experienced trainers are less in need, that a group capable of conducting future short courses can be built of government planning officers, and that training should be conducted within operating institutions of government.

A Community Health Education Program on Malaria in Nigeria - Ogbudimkpa, Jerry Emeka; Creswell, William H.; Lambert, Barbara; Kingston, Rodney E. (The International Quarterly of Community Health Education, 1988)
This study determined the effect of a health education program on malaria disease control among the citizens of Nkanu-local government area, a community in Nigeria. Participants consisted of subjects that used the Nkanu community hospital for their health care. Initially, 300 subjects were randomly selected for the study (150 experimental and 150 control) from Ama-nkanu village, but only 202 subjects completed the study. Results of the pre- and posttest on field tests and that of posttest on knowledge acquisition demonstrated significant differences between the two groups on knowledge and environmental improvements. The treatment group performed better than the control group on the knowledge test. On the environmental tests, the experimental group also demonstrated noticeable changes (improvements) when compared to the control group.

Manpower Aspects of Secondary School Libraries in The 6–3–3–4 Education System in Nigeria: The Case of Ondo State - Ogunleye, Gabriel Olubunmi (Library Review, 1988)
The aspect of the Nigerian national educational policy which touches on the training of librarians and library assistants within the context of the secondary school is examined. The recommendations of Ogunleye and others of one teacher‐librarian and one library assistant as the minimum standard for secondary school library personnel in Nigeria were employed to carry out a survey of the manpower available in secondary schools in Ondo State. Eight‐four secondary schools participated in the study. Results show that most teacher‐librarians had no exposure to librarianship before appointment and that training has not been organised on the job to change the situation, in most cases years after appointment. Recommendations include arrangements whereby university libraries are involved in the training of teacher‐librarians and library assistants.

Scientific literacy in Nigeria: The role of science education programmes - Olorundare, Solomon A. (International Journal of Science Education, 1988)
Abstract The term ‘scientific literacy’ (SL) has become a way to present a balanced formulation of several legitimate or competing purposes for science teaching in our schools. It has now become increasingly clear that no citizen can be literate in the modern sense until he has an understanding and appreciation of science and its work. If the populace is to appreciate the general nature of scientific endeavours or its potential contributions to a better way of life, then the public must possess some degree of SL. If Nigeria is to have reasonable science policies, a public understanding of science is a necessity. This is because public misunderstanding will work its way through the political, social and economic processes and emerge into detrimental policies, such as wide fluctuations in science funding and political rather than scientific criteria for setting up research priorities in institutes and programmes. These, and issues relating to scientific literacy and the relevance of the science education programmes in Nigeria to SL development, are addressed in the present article.

Staffing Secondary School Libraries in Kenya - Otike, Japhet (Information Development, 1988)
The school library situation in Kenya is on the whole gloomy. Only a handful of schools can afford to employ professional librarians. Out of a total of three thousand secondary schools in Kenya, less than forty have positions for trained para-professionals. Teacher-librarians do not receive any allowance for their additional responsibilities and the majority have never had any training in librarianship. Clerical staff and pupil assistants are employed in many school libraries. Lack of recognition of the importance of school libraries on the part of the authorities adds to the staffing problem. Despite these problems, attempts are being made to improve the situation. The Ministry of Education is gradually realizing the value of school libraries and new library education and training programmes are being developed. In the long run, however, the main solution will be to produce teacher-librarians with dual qualifications.

Polydrug abuse among Ethiopian university students with particular reference to khat (Catha edulis). - Zein, Zein Ahmed (PubMed, 1988)
The pattern of use of khat (Catha edulis Forsk), alcohol, cigarettes and tranquillizers among 479 medical and paramedical students in a boarding college in northwestern Ethiopia was studied by an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The survey coverage rate was 98.8%. The majority of students were males (82.6%) and their average age was 21.2 years. The prevalence rate of current use of alcohol, cigarettes, khat and tranquillizers was 31.1%, 26.3%, 22.3% and 7.7%, respectively. These substances were also used in combinations, the most frequent involved khat, alcohol and cigarettes. Use of khat varied by the type of training (medical/paramedical) and by phase of medical education (preclinical/clinical). These variations were also apparent when data were analysed by sex and frequency of khat use. It appears that the pattern of khat use among university students is similar to that reported for substance abuse in other countries. Because of the economic importance of khat in the Ethiopian economy, its control may be difficult at present.

Selection of medical students at a medical faculty in South Africa. - Aj, Brink; Mm, Benadé; Cj, Lombard; Barnes, Jm; Fe, van der Walt (PubMed, 1988)
The selection procedure at one medical faculty in the RSA was investigated. Students were admitted to the M.B. Ch.B. course on the basis of school results. Four groups were studied: matriculants; those selected after completing the 1st year of a B.Sc. course; those who had completed a full B.Sc. course; and those who had experience and other qualifications after leaving school. The matriculants were by far the largest group and the analysis of their marks received emphasis. Students who registered for their 1st year in 1980-1983 were followed up until the middle of their 3rd year. In total 635 students were assessed. The students' school results were compared with their preclinical marks. Chi-square tests for independence, multiple regression analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients and canonical correlation analysis were carried out. Although the results reflected a significant relationship between good selection marks and preclinical achievement, the strength of the association was too small for selection marks to have any reliable predictive value for an individual student. There was a low drop-out rate (5.4%) during the 1st year of study, but this rate increased threefold to 17.2% during the remaining preclinical period. This may indicate that the selection criteria were not specific enough to avoid this relatively large loss of students.

Sex education in the Cameroon. Reaching schoolchildren. (PubMed, 1988)
Four methods were used to learn about the sexual behavior, knowledge and use of contraception, and sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among 230 students aged 11-16 years in two bilingual schools in Yaounde. First, students discussed letters to an aunt explaining a teen's sexually-related problem. Premarital sex and the fear of STDs were at issue. Second, students filled in missing information on a line drawing relating to pregnancy. Most participants knew that a baby depends upon its mother for development and growth, but some were unclear on the nature of the biological connection to the uterus. Third, students completed a questionnaire upon which they indicated their agreement or lack thereof with statements on aspects of sex behavior. While both sexes indicated that love is more important than sex, they also find it necessary to have sex before marriage in order to gain experience and to know the other person better. Finally, students completed an anonymous questionnaire which produced the following results: 24% had experienced sexual intercourse; the most common age for initiating sexual activity was 15 and 13 years for boys and girls, respectively; 48% had heard about contraceptives; and 27% believed that contraceptives were dangerous and could permanently end one's fertility. Despite these students' limited amount of accurate knowledge about sexual matters, they are ready to confront real-life sexual situations. 130 parents, 110 teachers, and 26 health workers involved in clinics for family planning and STDs were also interviewed in the study. Contrary to the view of adults that adolescents should not discuss sexual matters, the youths initiated important discussions about their sexuality. 90% were interested in knowing about safer sex and STDs. Most parents believe that their children become sexually active later in life than they really do, with both parents and teachers supporting the withholding of information on birth control from adolescents out of fear that such knowledge will encourage them to experiment with sex. Young people instead need free and open access to family planning information and services to help them avoid unwanted pregnancy and infections with STDs. Moreover, the government campaign against HIV must start emphasizing condom use.

Towards democratic mathematics education in South Africa - Adler, Jill (1988)
More than a year has passed since the second national meeting of the National Education Crisis Committee (NECC) and its articulation of the slogan ’People’s Education for People’s Power’ (1). Much has changed in this short time-span. The heady euphoria and fervour of last year, effectively nipped by severe state repression, has sobered into the realisation that not only is liberation not around the corner, but also that the NECCs proposed strategy of transformation from within state schools itself would need careful reconsideration. Students’ return to school after prolonged boycotts was motivated by a vision of the schools being transformed into sites for education for liberation. Predictably, the state responded by passing and enforcing stringent legislation prohibiting the offering on any school or hostel premises of any syllabus, work programme, class or course which has not been approved in terms of the Education Act’ (2).

The impact of recent drought on the economies and environments of Sahelian nations has been substantial, however, and the recovery capabilities off severely damaged lands are not well known. Study of the geomorphology and surface processes across a portion of Mali provides some constraints on the responses of desert fringe fluvial systems to changing environmental conditions. Multi-temporal orbital image data were used in combination with field investigation to map drought-affected soils, and to document changes to both fluvial and aeolian processes across the region of study. A combination of statistical methods yields consistent evidence of net albedo increases associated with particular landforms and surface processes over a nine-year interval. Although aeolian processes are a significant transport mechanism for removal and redistribution of soil materials, both orbital data and field study indicate that fluvial erosion is responsible for much of the primary topsoil loss and landform modification in this portion of the Sahel.

The teaching of ecology in Nigerian secondary schools - Uma, Apolinaris (Journal of Biological Education, 1988)
Abstract A survey of ecology teaching in randomly selected secondary schools in five States of Nigeria was undertaken. The survey led to identification and categorization of the major difficulties perceived by teachers in their teaching of ecology. The difficulties had to do with provision of appropriate training for teachers, syllabus difficulties, and problems of approach by the teachers themselves. The perceived difficulties served as a guide for making suggestions on how these difficulties might be overcome.

Perspectives in Primary Care: Learning from Doing: Progression to Primary Health Care within a National Health Programme. A Case Study from Tanzania - Ebrahim, G. J.; Kaingo, A; Twaha, A. (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1988)
The processes in the evolution of a rural integrated health development project are described. The collaboration of a voluntary aid agency in the Netherlands with the national authorities in Tanzania resulted in the formulation of a field training area in Primary Health Care. The financial contribution from the aid agency was kept to a minimum and there was no involvement of expatriate staff in the dayto-day running of the project The aim was to avoid dependency and encourage replication nationally. Even though the financial contribution was small, it was crucial because of its pump-priming effect. The lessons learned from the experience will help in formulating relevant national strategies of primary health care.

Alcohol and drug taking among medical students at a Nigerian university campus: Part 2. Sociodemographic factors of etiologic significance. - Ihezue, U. H. (PubMed, 1988)
In a survey of Nigerian undergraduate medical students, alcohol and drug users were classified as frequent users, casual users, and nonusers. Place of residence during session and family structure recorded no significant contribution to the development of substance abuse. Male sex, poor performance on examinations, drug taking among close friends and peers, and a family background of lower socioeconomic status emerged as sociodemographic factors correlating positively with the presence of substance abuse. Health education, controlled distribution of drugs and alcohol, stringent regulatory provisions against their use, and a permanent Commission on Substance Abuse with full judicial powers are suggested as measures that may help control the abuse of psychoactive substances and the hazard they pose to public health.

The Prevalence and Distribution of Xerophthalmia in Pre-school Age Children of the Luapula Valley, Zambia - Sukwa, T.; Mwandu, D.; Kapui, A.; Siziya, Seter; Vamoer, A.; Mukunyandela, M; Chelemu, V. (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1988)
Four thousand two hundred and seventy-five children aged less than 6 years were examined for signs of xerophthalmia in a population based cross-sectional study in the Luapula Valley of Zambia. The overall prevalence of xerophthalmia was 1.89 per cent. The prevalence of nightblindness (XN), Bitot's spots (X1B), severe corneal lesions (X3A, X3B), and corneal scars (XS) were 1.26, 0.44, 0.02, and 0.68 per cent, respectively. One child was totally blind and four children had unilateral blindness. Comparison is made with data from other parts of Africa. It is concluded that xerophthalmia is a public health problem in this valley and a major cause of blindness in childhood.

Use of personal computers in a teaching hospital in Zambia - Wilson, Iain; Watters, D A K (The BMJ, 1988)
This article reports on doctors who imported microcomputers to Zambia to use in a teaching hospital. The types of programs utilized and the cost of the programs is provided. Computers are used in both hospital and general practice and are often large, powerful, and expensive models that would be inappropriate in the developing countries. This is particulary true where there is a lack of trained technicians locally to maintain both hardware and software. Recent reductions in the costs of buying and running microcomputers meant that it became possible to consider using them more in medical practice, and user friendly software made them particularly suitable for use in hospitals in developing countries. Personal computers are useful because they enable doctors to teach and write in countries in which medical and administrative manpower is limited. The effectiveness of many doctors in developing could be increased if they had access to microcomputers. The authors promote the use of microcomputers as cost effective and urge any doctors planning to work in a developing country where research or administration will be part of their job to take a computer with them.

Disablement, Disability and the Nigerian Society - Abang, Theresa B. (Disability, handicap & society, 1988)
ABSTRACT This paper seeks to examine the question of disability in developing countries, particularly Nigeria. Most of the diseases causing disabilities are preventable. Many of these are infections which could be prevented with medical care. The perception of handicapping conditions by most Nigerians it is argued, are greatly influenced by myth and superstition, which in turn influences the negative attitude of people towards disabled people. The lack of medical facilities has contributed to the spread of common diseases which otherwise would have been controlled or eradicated, as is the case in developed countries like Britain and America. Rights of disabled people are emphasized. This includes the right to an education and the right of access into buildings. Fortunately, there are moves towards the attainment of these basic rights in various sectors, particularly the University of Jos which has the largest concentration of blind students in one single institution of higher learning.

Towards the National Theatre Concept: A Model for the Development of Dance Education Within the Ghanian University System. - Adinku, W. Ofotsu (1988)
During the period under colonial rule Ghanaian traditional life styles were largely destroyed and foreign value systems imposed. Following independence in 1957 the concept of National Consciousness, which seeks to encourage models of traditional forms in all new developments, was proposed. This thesis addresses the need to introduce traditional dance into the Ghanaian University system in response to the concept of National Consciousness. The thesis is divided into two parts. Part One is a survey of traditional dance models and their significance for new developments, while Part Two examines these models as applied activities in dance eduction and theatre work. In Part One traditional dances and related arts are treated in Chapters 1 and 2 while the developments of concepts for national integration through the dances are treated in Chapters 3 and 4. In Part Two concepts of dance in education are examined in Chapter 5; the roles of dance in education as well as models in subject programming in Chapter 6 and curriculum development for first degree courses in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 looks at the contributions of the various Chapters to the development of an African orientated dance programme for education and theatre practice in emergent African societies. The study is limited to the Country of Ghana though the findings may have implication for other African countries.

Educational Plans and Aspirations of University Female Students in Nigeria - Afemikhe, Omaze Anthony (Journal of Negro Education, 1988)
Education in Nigeria is seen as an effective agent in determining the economic and social status of the individual. It provides an opportunity for one to join the respectably employed. The higher the educational attainment, the greater the chances for advancement in places of work. This has led to great demand for education. With the current thinking that the woman's place is not necessarily in the kitchen, and the observation that little substantial information on female students exists in Nigeria,I there is need to consider the educational plans and aspirations of female university students. Results of such studies can be helpful in identifying reasons why females still lag behind males in the pursuit of higher education.2 Intervention programs can then be mounted to bridge the wide gulf between the social status of men and women and to enable women to take more active parts in the affairs of the nation as well as the world at large. Educational goals and aspiration-related studies have yielded varying results. Local circumstances and tradition have been observed to be important in determining aspiration. Studies at the secondary (high) school level have yielded fairly consistent results. Significant

Language Education Opportunities in Nigerian Schools - Akinnaso, F. Niyi (Educational review, 1988)
A case study of language education opportunities in Nigerian schools highlights the tension between educational policy and practice and reveals certain major trends which are replicated in other Third World countries. Apart from being motivated by several common experiences, language education opportunities in the Third World are shown to reflect a functional typology based on a tripartite layering of languages; to emphasise the medium of education issue; and to use the educational system to promote the adoption of national and official languages. The practical, financial, pedagogical, cognitive and sociocultural implications of the findings are assessed with particular reference to the Nigerian data. It is revealed that the nature, extent and availability of language education opportunities are determined largely by historical, social, political and economic factors rather than by purely educational or pedagogical considerations.

Using Consumer Evaluation to Improve College Curricula in Nigerian Teacher Training - Akpe, C.S. (Journal of Education for Teaching, 1988)
Abstract A first step consumer evaluation of a Nigerian College BEd degree programme was carried out to determine students' impressions of the programme. Subjects were 114 in number, made up of 54 male and 60 female students currently enrolled for the BEd degree programme. A 21 item semantic differential evaluation of the BEd course on a five point scale, and free comments from the respondents, were the instruments used to collect data, which were analysed utilising frequencies and percentages. The study revealed areas of students' dissatisfaction with the programme as well as its areas of strength. The implications of this finding for the development and improvement of the BEd degree programme are discussed in this paper.

Stratigraphy, geochronology and volcano-tectonic evolution of the Kedong–Naivasha–Kinangop region, Gregory Rift Valley, Kenya - Baker, B. H.; Mitchell, J. G.; Williams, L. A. J. (Journal of the Geological Society, 1988)
Twenty-two new K-Ar dates allow reorganization of the volcano-stratigraphy of the Kedong–Kinangop region on the east side of the central Kenya rift for the most recent 4 Ma, during which time most of the structural features evolved. Four principal phases of volcanic eruption were: widespread Kinangop tuff ash flows (3.7–3.4 Ma), Limuru flood trachytes (2.0–1.8 Ma), basalts and flood trachytes of the rift floor (1.65–0.9 Ma), Quaternary salic caldera volcanoes (0.4–0 Ma). K-Ar dating allows recognition of the Cobb Mountain normal polarity event at about 1.18 Ma, and dating of the Kedong flood at about 0.1 Ma. Major faulting occurred at 4–3 Ma, converting an early half-graben to a graben. Fault zones then migrated inwards progressively forming step-fault platforms at 3–2 Ma and 1.7 Ma, such that the graben narrowed with time. Extensive minor faulting of the rift floor occurred during the most recent 0.8 Ma. The average extension rate across the central rift was 3 mm a −1 for the last 7 Ma, and is close to plate tectonic estimates. Individual fault strain rates are estimated at 0.1–0.4 mm a −1 . Faulting was episodic rather than continuous, and some episodes affected both sides of the rift. Volumes of magma erupted during 4–0 Ma require generation of at least 1.2 × 10 5 km 3 of primary magma in the 200 km length of the south–central rift if fractional crystallization is the dominant differentiation mechanism. This volume implies mantle upflow either as an asthenosphere ‘plume’, or as the result of lithosphere extension. The tectonic and magmatic sequence of events is proposed to result from lithosphere thinning, emplacement of large magma bodies in or near the lower crust, regional uplifts and superimposed limited lateral separation of the lithosphere as a result of plate motions.

Volcanics from the Guinea Continental margin: geodynamic implications - Bertrand, Hervé; Mascle, J.; Marinho, Martha; Villeneuve, M. (Journal Of African Earth Sciences, 1988)
We present and discuss petrological investigations carried out on basalt dredged on one of the magnetic seamounts from the southern Guinean continental slope, within the Equatorial Atlantic. Microprobe analyses of clinopyroxenes suggest the alkalic magmatic affinity of the basalts. We suggest that the volcanic seamounts have been emplaced along a complex transform margin boundary during the progressive oblique opening of the Equatorial Atlantic in lower Cretaceous time.

Community Management and Financing of Schools in Papua New Guinea - Bray, Mark (1988)
This chapter discusses community management and financing of schools in Papua New Guinea. The organizational structure of education in Papua New Guinea does not give wide powers to the communities at the school level. Major decisions on the school calendar, curriculum, qualifications, and conditions of service of teachers, and even the target populations for whom schools cater are taken by national and provincial governments. Boards of Management are responsible for buildings, enrolment of pupils, student discipline, and ancillary aspects of the curriculum such as craft work and religion. The fact that these decisions are taken locally helps spread the financial burden of education, and it achieves some purposes that could not be achieved by the school inspectors, teachers, and other government officers. Boards of Management that operate well may improve teachers' morale by providing facilities and by taking an interest in what their children do each day. Through their ability to report to provincial and church authorities, Boards may also provide a check on the behavior of teachers.

Microcomputer as medium in teaching African languages - Britz, R. M.J. (South African Journal of African Languages, 1988)
For both the lecturer and the student the operating of the microcomputer should not offer any problems. Seeing that programming takes a long time, authoring packages can be used. Authoring packages are not implemented in this study because of the expense involved and the problem of monotony. In order to develop software that fulfils the aims and requirements of a specific language course, the following aspects should be taken into account: The computer has to be handled as a teaching aid. An individualized computer program should include the following basic elements: The pace should be flexible; the student has to be exempted from previously obtained skills; there has to be opportunity for evaluation; the computer has to be removed from the lecture situation.

"Outthinking and Outflanking the Owners of the World": A Historiography of the African American Struggle for Education - Butchart, Ronald E. (History of Education Quarterly, 1988)
W. E. B. DuBois once argued that the proper education for oppressed groups such as African Americans had a special, critical purpose. He knew, as have all serious educators since Socrates accepted his cup, that education was always and everywhere political. For the oppressed, the political role of schooling had to be aimed precisely at finding the means to end the oppression. In 1930, speaking before the graduating students at Howard University, he put the issue this way: “Let there be no misunderstanding about this, no easy going optimism. We are not going to share modern civilization just by deserving recognition. We are going to force ourselves in by organized far-seeing effort—by outthinking and outflanking the owners of the world today who are too drunk with their own arrogance and power successfully to oppose us, if we think and learn and do.” It is clear from his own life's work that to “think and learn and do”—the “outthinking and outflanking”—required schooling.

Village mothers on the West Bank learn about health. - Carr, D (PubMed, 1988)
Over a period of more than 10 years a health education program for mothers and pregnant women has been developed in many villages of the West Bank. The involvement of Catholic Relief Services in meeting the health needs of West Bank communities began in 1975 with a nutrition education project. A determined effort has been made to use local resources, both human and material, and to reach out to the women in a sympathetic manner. The goal was to improve the health standards of poor village mothers and their young children through better nutrition. Instructors from this nongovernmental organization trained village teachers, who then held classes for mothers with children under 5 years of age. The children were weighed monthly and food commodities were distributed in accordance with class attendance and the numbers of children weighed. A considerable effort was required in order to convince the local charitable societies and health personnel of the value of preventive measures. Doctors were especially resistant to the idea of prevention. Despite these obstacles, 323 courses were attended by 6739 mothers and 15,112 children were weighed during a 4 year period. The success of the program is evident from the decline in infant deaths in the participating villages.

The geology, petrology, and geochemistry of the Kanye volcanics and Nnywane Formation, Ramotswa area, southeast Botswana - Chaoka, T.R. (1988)
Two major felsic volcanic sequences of late Archean to early Proterozoic age are distinguished in southeast Botswana: the Kanye Volcanics and the Nnywane Formation. The Kanye Volcanics are red, purple and grey, dense, porphyritic rocks with pink and white feldspar phenocrysts in a felsitic to aphanitic groundmass. Presently, these rocks are regarded as part of the Gaborone Granite Complex. In addition to the volcanic rocks, the complex contains rapakivi and alaskitic granites, leucocratic microgranites, porphyritic granophyres, and variable amounts of mafic and ultramafic rocks. – The Nnywane Formation is an interbeded sequence of felsic flows, porphyries, tuffs and agglomerates. It is part of the Lobatse Volcanic Group which is correlated with the early Proterozoic Ventersdorp Supergroup of South Africa. – Despite the current correlation of the Kanye Volcanics and the Nnywane Formation with different stratigraphic units and the suggestion that these rocks are products of two distinct magmatic events, the evidence is not irrefutable. In addition, previous explanations for the origin of these volcanic rocks are inconsistent with available petrological, geochemical and geochronological data. – This study examines the relationship between the Kanye Volcanics and the Nnywane Formation in the Ramotswa area. The geology of the Ramotswa area is described. Major, minor and rare-earth element analyses of numerous samples from the Kanye Volcanics, porphyritic granophyres, leucocratic microgranites and the Nnywane Formation are discussed. Chemically, the Kanye Volcanics, porhyritic granophyres and Nnywane Formation have alkaline affinities, while the intrusive microgranites have major and trace element characteristics of within-plate type granites. Further, comparison of whole-rock major, trace and rare-earth element abundances shows that the Kanye Volcanics and porphyritic granophyres are virtually identical. In contrast, the microgranites have higher TiO₂, Al₂O₃, total iron, CaO, Sr, Zr and Ba and lower SiO₂, average K₂O, Rb, Y and Nb relative to the Kanye Volcanics and porphyritic granophyres. The Nnywane Formation has anomalously high SiO₂ and K₂O and low Na₂O and CaO and more variable Rb, Sr and Ba values relative to the Kanye Volcanics, but relatively the same range TiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO, total iron as Fe₂O₃, Y, Nb, Ga and Zr. Rare-earth element abundances of these four units are very similar, but the microgranite has a more pronounced negative Eu anomaly. – Contrary to previous interpretations, these results suggest that the granophyres, Kanye Volcanics and Nnywane Formation (excluding mafic units) crystallized from essentially the same magma. The anomalous SiO₂, K₂O, Na₂O, CaO, Rb, Sr and Ba concentrations of the Nnywane Formation are probably due to subsequent hydrothermal and groundwater alteration. – However, the results of this study are inconclusive regarding the relationship of the leucocratic microgranites to the other units.

Maternal mortality at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu: a 10-year survey. - Chukudebelu, W. O.; Ozumba, Benjamin C. (PubMed, 1988)
A review of maternal mortality at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Enugu between January 1976 and December 1985 has been made. Deaths up to 6 weeks of puerperium from direct, indirect, and incidental causes were included but abortions were excluded. There were 47,361 deliveries and 127 maternal deaths giving a maternal mortality rate of 2.7/1000. There has been a downward trend in the mortality rate from 5.46 in 1976 to 1.99 in 1985. Comparing mortality rates according to booking status, it was observed that mortality rates were 48 times higher in unbooked patients. It was observed that overall that deaths increased with increasing maternal age except in the 26-30 age group. Whereas only 0.16% of women aged 26-30 died, 2% of women 40 died. The highest mortality rates are in primigravida and grand multipara. The main causes of death were obstructed labor plus ruptured uterus (35%), obstetric hemorrhage (25.98%), eclampsial severe/preeclampsia (11%), and sepsis (10.24%). Other causes of death include anesthetic, amniotic fluid embolism, jaundice in pregnancy, congestive cardiac failure, pulmonary embolism, and severe anemia. Factors influencing this high mortality include antenatal care, maternal age, and parity. The majority of these deaths are avoidable through adequate blood transfusions, attention to details and better case management, improved medical services, recognition of severe problems by patients and family, and immediate medical care. Futhermore, faults may lie either with the patient, the hospital, the medical team, the government or the system or a combination of these factors. The ways to reduce the high maternal mortality are improved standard of living, raising the literacy level, improved structural facilities and social amenities, better communication and transportation, increased number of hospitals, blood transfusion services, better case management, and a high level of utilization of available facilities.

Effects of aging on normal hearing loss and noise-induced threshold shift in albino and pigmented guinea pigs - Conlee, John W.; Abdul‐Baqi, Khader J.; McCandless, Geary A.; Creel, Donnell J. (Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1988)
In a previous investigation into noise-induced hearing loss by comparing 2-month-old albino with pigmented guinea pigs, albinos displayed significantly greater shifts in cochlear microphonic (CM) threshold and less recovery than the pigmented animals 7 days after noise exposure. The present study compared the responses of 14-month-old albino and pigmented guinea pigs to the same noise parameters used previously. Thresholds for the first detectable elicitation of CM for three pure tones were recorded prior to, at 90 min and at 7 days after a 45-min exposure to 126 dB broadband noise. Before exposure to noise, thresholds for pigmented guinea pigs were 24 dB higher than those in the albinos. Following noise exposure, the pigmented animals showed less than half the amount of threshold shift displayed by the albinos. This change was attributed to the higher pre-exposure thresholds in the pigmented guinea pigs. Converging lines of evidence suggest that cochlear pigmentation may have both protective and toxic influences on the inner ear.

Contradictions of control: Lessons from exploring teachers' work in Botswana - Davies, Lynn (International Journal of Educational Development, 1988)
Using the concept of teaching as a labour process, this paper explores the relationship between the work of teaching and the control of education by the state. Ethnographic data from Botswana is used to discuss emergent themes of teachers' certainties and uncertainties; staff divisions and cultures; accommodations and resistances to control; teachers as storekeepers of knowledge; and occupational rewards and addictions. The meaning and forms of ‘centralisation’ appear as important issues, and contradictions emerge in the exercise of control, with teachers able to recreate significant areas of professional and personal autonomy.

Qualitative Consequences of School Expansion in Kenya - Eisemon, Thomas Owen (1988)
Newly independent African governments asserted control over primary and secondary education in response to the demands that the state provide greater access to education to raise the skill level of the labor force, to foster national integration and loyalty to a new political culture, and to correct the disparities in educational opportunity that is inherited from the colonial period. The result was the establishment of highly centralized systems in which government control over education at the local level is exercised through financing or co-financing of school construction and maintenance, the introduction of national standards for instruction, teacher recruitment, and the provision of instructional resources, development of syllabi and texts for adoption by all schools, and use of national examinations to assess student learning. Because schooling was regarded as a public good in most African countries and a wise investment of scarce public funds, few researchers have concerned themselves with the transformations, which enrolment increases have brought about at the school level.

Schooling for self-employment in Kenya: The acquisition of craft skills in and outside schools - Eisemon, Thomas Owen; Ong'esa, Elkana; Hart, Lynn C. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1988)
Primary schooling will continue to be the terminal stage of education for most Kenyan children, and it will have to prepare them for employment that they will create for themselves. What this might imply for the teaching of craft skills is examined. Soapstone carving was selected as the subject of study because it is an important form of self-employment in western Kenya. The acquisition of craft skills in and outside schools was compared using observational and experimental methods. It is argued that school instruction provides little opportunity to develop competence in carrying out cognitive and psychomotor tasks important to expert performance in this and perhaps many other craft occupations.

IMPROVING HEALTH EDUCATION IN KENYA - Eisemon, Thomas Owen; Patel, Vimla L. (McGill Journal of Education / Revue des sciences de l'éducation de McGill, 1988)
Adopting new health practices is not simply a matter of being told what to do and doing what one is told. The primary health care interventions that are currently being introduced in Kenya and developing countries to reduce infant mortality require parents to perform complex cognitive tasks. These involve making inferences from knowledge of human biology and disease processes that may not be acquired from health instruction provided in schools or through public health campaigns. What is needed to design more effective health education programs is a better understanding of the knowledge structures and cognitive strategies that are involved in comprehending procedures associated with modern health care practices. RESUME L'adoption de nouvelles pratiques sanitaires n'est pas seulement le fait d'ordres recus que l'on applique avec ardeur. Les pratiques sanitaires introduites au Kenya et dans certains pays en voie de developpement pour reduire le taux de mortalite infantile exigent des parents qu'ils accomplissent des tâches cognitives complexes. Cela implique des deductions a partir des connaissances de la biologie humaine et des processus pathologiques qu'on n'acquiert pas dans le cadre de l'instruction donnee a l'ecole ou des campagnes de sante publique. Ce qu'il faut pour concevoir des programmes d'education sanitaire plus efficaces, c'est de mieux comprendre les structures et les strategies cognitives qui contribuent a la comprehension des procedures liees aux pratiques sanitaires modernes.

Examinations strongly influence how students are taught and what they learn, especially in countries like Kenya which use national examinations to select a small proportion of primary school students for further education. This paper reports findings from a demonstration study of the impact of examination question construction on health instruction and learning in a Nairobi primary school. Health test items for the mock Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination were revised in accordance with cognitive theories of the measurement of achievement emphasizing that the knowledge elicited should be pertinent to structures needed for integrating existing and new knowledge as well as explicitly related to the competent performance of some target behaviour. Teachers of two Standard VIII classes were asked to prepare students to answer KCPE questions or to prepare them for questions the researchers had revised on similar topics. The study indicated that changes in question construction increased lesson preparation and use of texts, encouraged teacher explanations of diseases and fostered understanding of disease processes central to the adoption of practices leading to better health.

Problems of education and training in gastroenterology in the Middle East and Africa. - El-Zayadi, Abdel-Rahman (PubMed, 1988)
Gastrointestinal diseases are prevalent throughout the Middle East and Africa, causing high morbidity and mortality. The available data point to a morbidity of 20% in Zimbabwe and 18% in Egypt, and to a mortality of 26.6%, 17.9%, and 7.9% in Egypt, Mauretania, and Syria, respectively. However, most if not all the countries in our area of interest lack valid medical statistics. Gastroenterology is a neglected speciality in our region. Community-based curricula have only been tried in Egypt and Sudan universities. In Egypt, which tops the list, the number of gastroenterologists serving the community is 1/500,000, compared with 1/400,000 in Turkey and 1/100,000 in Denmark. Lack of funding is of considerable importance, as are low salaries, shortage of and insufficient service of equipment, and inability to attend international meetings. Gastroenterology is not represented at departmental levels in hospitals. There is a lack of team spirit among the medical profession, at the expense of much duplication of equipment. In most African countries training programs and gastrointestinal societies are lacking. The needs for the future: establishment of national programs for education and training in gastroenterology; creation of departments of gastroenterology and of membership/fellowship/university degrees; establishment of community-based curricula and promotionally based training; creation and reviving of societies of gastroenterology; and organization of activities, team work, and economic support of training programs.
