Towards an outcomes-based teaching and learning module for teacher preparation programmes of FET institutions' engineering and technology educators in South Africa - Makgato, Moses; Mbanguta, Zola (2002)
Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) was adopted as a national policy for teaching and learning in South Africa to replace the traditional rote learning in the national education system. This has placed a high level of demand on the new teacher preparation programmes for Further Education and Training (FET) institutions' engineering and technology education programmes, which have historically separated knowledge and its application or theory and practice. This article gives a brief background of the existing teacher preparation programmes for engineering education that are currently offered by South African technikons, critically reviews related literature, explores the research methodology that was used to test the views of educators and learners at FET institutions on the traditional rote learning versus OBE as a new teaching and learning method, and presents the results and findings. The article concludes by making recommendations for a new teaching and learning module or subject that is underpinned by relevant educational epistemologies and that will support Outcomes-Based Education for teacher preparation for FET institutions' engineering and technology education programmes.

Marketing university education: the Southern African experience - Maringe, Felix; Foskett, Nick (Higher Education Review, 2002)
The study sought to identify the perceptions of university marketers of the challenges their institutions were facing, the philosophies underpinning marketing thought and practice, and the general marketing strategies employed by the institutions. Seven institutions in the Southern African region participated in the study which was based on a self completion questionnaire and an analysis of institutional marketing documents. That there is a varying awareness in the institutions of the significance of marketing, with the more mature universities exhibiting more developed marketing orientations. Patterns of strategies ranged from marketing as public relations to marketing as sales, with universities in South Africa being the only ones reflecting customer focused approaches. On the whole, marketing in the region's universities remains buried under mainstream institutional activities. The study provides three broad principles which could be used to inform the development of marketing practice across institutions.

Social and behavioral correlates of oral quality of life studied among university students in Tanzania - Masalu, Joyce R.; Åstrøm, Anne Nordrehaug (Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2002)
This study applies an abbreviated version of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) and the Life Satisfaction scale to oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) and quality of life (QOL) among Tanzanian university students. The following questions were addressed: Are social and behavioral status associated with overall OIDP frequency scores? Do social and behavioral variables contribute to the explainable variance of the OIDP frequency scores beyond the effect of clinical indicators of oral disorders? Do OIDP frequency scores influence general QOL as measured by the Life Satisfaction scale? A two-wave cross-sectional study was conducted during the summer of 1999, involving 19-45-year-old students at the University of Dar es Salaam. One-thousand-one-hundred-and-twenty-three students completed self-administered questionnaires and 228 respondents were re-examined clinically after 4 weeks. The rates of tooth decay and tooth loss were 34% and 37%, respectively. Medical-non-medical status (OR = 2.7) self-perceived health status (OR = 2.7), and sugar avoidance (OR = 2.2) varied systematically with OIDP scores in multivariate analyses. Tooth decay and tooth loss alone contributed 10% to the explainable variance in the OIDP scores. Entering social and behavioral variables increased the explainable variance to 19%. Finally, life-satisfaction scores varied systematically and positively with the OIDP frequency scores in bi- and multivariate analyses. This study gives some indications that the social and behavioral contexts of Tanzanian university students are important in shaping their responses to oral disorders.

How to design education on mental disorders for general practitioners in South Africa - Mash, Bob (South African Family Practice, 2002)
Objective: This study looks at how the WHO programme Mental Disorders in Primary Care should be adapted for GPs in the South African context in order to positively impact the recognition and management of mental disorders. Design: Participatory action research was used to adapt the WHO programme. There were 3 phases to the study. Firstly a co-operative inquiry group of 10 GPs adapted the WHO materials. Secondly the findings of the inquiry were incorporated into the design of a web-based distance education programme. Thirdly the web-based programme was evaluated by means of an action inquiry with the 21 registered GPs. Setting: South African general practitioners working in both public and private practice. Results: The findings of the study are presented as a model of the primary care consultation with a specific focus on the recognition and management of mental disorders. The approach includes the use of one hypothesis for ‘mental problems' and assessment in the ‘lobby' of general practice. Sixgoverning variables for this approach are described: cues, communication skills, continuity of care, confidence, course tools and community resources. Conclusion: This study presents a practical model of the primary care consultation, which focuses on an approach to the recognition and management of mental disorders. This model has been used to adapt the WHO programme for the South African context. The model may be of use to general practitioners, educational designers, teachers of family medicine /primary care as well as district managers who wish to enhance the quality of care for patients with mental disorders.

The Role of Ethnomathematics in Mathematics Education in Papua New Guinea: Implications for mathematics curriculum - Matang, Rex (2002)
The mathematics learning difficulties experienced by many school students in Papua New Guinea (PNG) under the current mathematics curriculum, which draws heavily on western, mainly Australian models, is well known. Based on a literature review of research on ethnomathematics and mathematics education, this paper proposes an integration of ethnomathematics into the formal mathematics curriculum as one way to address these learning difficulties. This proposal assumes that learning mathematics is more effective and meaningful if the teaching of mathematics begins with familiar learning situations, i.e. teaching from the known to the unknown, utilising the familiar mathematical practices found in the learner’s own socio-cultural environment.

Towards a new engineering education policy for South African Further Education and Training (FET) colleges: easy articulation to universities and technikons and recognition by the Engineering Professional Council of South Africa - Mbanguta, Zola (2002)
South African Further Education and Training (FET) colleges have historically been offering Trimester N-Stream knowledge-only trade-based programmes, which are very narrow in content as they have been designed to meet the needs of manual low-skills-low-wages industries. This situation has required urgent attention as these programmes have not changed over time in alignment with the current industrial technological and economic trends. This article gives a brief background of such programm es offered by FET colleges, critically reviews related literature, explores the action research methodologically-based functions o f the National Engineering Education Task Team and the effects of its recommendations to the National Minister of Education towards a n engineering education policy for South African FET colleges. The paper concludes by emphasising the commitment of taking FET college engineering education programmes towards a new level to make them acceptable to universities, technikons and the engineering profession for the improved recognition of an engineering artisan status within the engineering profession in South Africa for easy articulation to the engineering technician status or category.

Multicultural Professional Development for African American Teachers - McAllister, Gretcen (2002)
It was the eighth day of the CULTURES professional development course, and I was driving four of the African American teachers to a cultural immersion experience in the Vietnamese community. As I turned into the driveway of the apartment complex, I felt excited for the teachers who had never met a Vietnamese family. We walked to the small first floor apartment where we met our interpreter, Lyn, a Vietnamese language specialist for the school district. Lyn knocked and a Vietnamese woman came to the door and invited us in. As the teachers attempted to enter the home, I noticed that the door was not completely opened because some of the family’s furniture was behind the door, limiting access to the entrance. Lucinda, one of the African American teachers, was reluctant to enter and said, ‘I’ll wait out here.” It was obvious that Lucinda thought that she was too big to fit through the tiny entryway. Our Vietnamese host looked at Lucinda, pointed to the sliding glass door at the rear of the apartment, and said, “You too fat. Go around the back.” Lucinda was dumbfounded, embarrassed, and appeared ready to leave the Vietnamese home; however, I encouraged her to enter through the sliding glass door. After about 25 minutes of eating Vietnamese snacks and learning about the culture, we left.

Tools and training: a practical approach towards improving healthcare equipment maintenance in The Gambia - McDowell, Amy; Radford, Martha J. (2002)
A pilot project is described which consisted of two core components: a course, which would be of three weeks duration, with the possibility of a one-week supplementary 'advanced' course if considered appropriate, and the provision of toolkits, test equipment and spare parts. The project would also include follow-up visits to evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of the course. The findings outlined here would seem to confirm not only that there is a vast need for this kind of programme, but also that even a short-duration 'basic' course can have a significant impact. The provision of training in combination with tools, spares and on-going support has been seen to be an essential combination; one without the other would be not nearly as beneficial. (5 pages)

Seeking hybrid identities through ambivalence : a postcolonial interpretation of the experiences of an international (Australian and Papua New Guinean) secondary education project - McLaughlin, Julie (2002)
This paper explores, from a postcolonial perspective, research which investigated the ambivalent positions of Papua New Guinea (PNG) students who received their secondary education in Australian senior secondary schools under the Australian / Papua New Guinean Secondary School Students’ Project (SSSP). On returning to PNG after three years, students found that the cultural discourses that they acquired in Australia left them in a problematic position in their own culture. This paper relates their reflections to redevelop identities which were more congruent with PNG society. The aims of SSSP as designed by the governments of Australia and PNG were to assist the education of the recipients personally and PNG to expand its educational capacity. However, these intended goals were not always met. Most graduates struggled with difficult issues of cultural identity and often encountered considerable ambivalence to their re-location to PNG. This paper argues that issues of cultural identities and forms of resistance to manifestations of colonial culture may influence the outcomes of foreign educational assistance. It concludes that postcolonial societies are characterised by ambivalence which influences and constrains educational developments. For PNG, ambivalence is not necessarily informed by difference between PNG (Melanesian) cultures and foreign cultural practices, but by diverse ethnic cultures within PNG itself, as well as modern social structures created by the formal education.

Methods for identifying and monitoring river flow drought in southern Africa. - Meigh, Jeremy; Tate, E. L.; McCartney, Matthew (IAHS-AISH publication, 2002)
The importance of the water resources aspects of drought is being increasingly recognized. In this paper, improved methods for the identification of river flow droughts in southern Africa are investigated, and tools to assist in the realistic determination of the severity of droughts and to provide effective means of monitoring droughts as they develop, are considered. Because of the complexities of drought behaviour over large regions, a combination of different approaches is useful. The techniques have been combined in a software package to provide rapid assessments. Such operational tools will be increasingly useful for managing hydrological risk as greater volumes of near real-time flow data become available in the future.

The place of Arts in Papua New Guinea in relation to Education in the new Millennium - Mel, Michael A. (2002)
Classrooms in Papua New Guinea (PNG) have supported this view that since all human beings have a head (intelligence) each person should be able to with precision (logically) acquire knowledge. Logic has been equated with intelligence. Areas of knowledge that were built on logic have been given significance in the curriculum while those that seemingly have little to do with logic have been pushed aside in the curriculum. The enterprise of education - processes of knowledg e acquisition and creation - needs to move beyond the confines of logic as being equivalent to intelligence. To claim that all logic is intelligence is at best illogical and at it’s worst irrational. There is a need to recognise that the human condition does not learn and live on logic alone. Emotions, or matters of the heart, have long been seen as the enemy of logics or good effective thinking. The two – logic and emotions - have been separated as entities. In my paper I propose that there is a need for a major shift away and beyond this mind set. If education in PNG and around the world is about Integral Human Development and is based on knowledge from within our own cultures as much as from without then the move to go beyond logics and sensibilities as separate entities or domains of knowledge is paramount.

Simulation Analysis by a Mathematical Model on Heavy Metal Pollution in the Rivers in the Barada Basin, Syria - Melhem, Rimah; Higano, Yoshiro (Studies in Regional Science, 2002)
Manufacturing industries are blooming rabidly in Barada Basin carrying high risk to environment and human health due to emitting huge amounts of heavy metals to environmental media, particularly rivers. Few studies show that concentrations of chromium, cadmium, and lead exceed the standards in down streams of rivers.In this paper, by developing a mathematical model that describes the interrelation between the ecological and economic systems, we run simulation to estimate amount of Cr, Cd, Pb generate from manufacturing industries annually under current economic condition. The results show that highly concentrated of these contaminants are discharged to rivers annually, which should be regarded urging us to engaging in risk assessment of these metals on environment and human health in further studies.

Sensitivity to status-based rejection: Implications for African American students' college experience. - Mendoza‐Denton, Rodolfo; Downey, Geraldine; Purdie, Valerie J.; Davis, Angelina; Pietrzak, Janina (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2002)
The authors proposed a process model whereby experiences of rejection based on membership in a devalued group can lead people to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to status-based rejection. To test the model, the authors focused on race-based rejection sensitivity (RS-race) among African Americans. Following the development and validation of the RS-Race Questionnaire (Studies 1 and 2), the authors tested the utility of the model for understanding African American students' experiences at a predominantly White university (Study 3). Students high in RS-race experienced greater discomfort during the college transition, less trust in the university, and relative declines in grades over a 2- to 3-year period. Positive race-related experiences, however, increased feelings of belonging at the institution among students high in RS-race.

[Sexual abuse at schools in Cameroon: results of a survey-action program in Yaounde]. - Menick, Daniel Mbassa (PubMed, 2002)
The purpose of this questionnaire-based study was to determine the incidence of sexual abuse in schools in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to assess the extent of teacher involvement in such acts and to provide children an opportunity to come forward with their experiences. The author hypothesized that the number of sexual abuse victims was increasing and that the most frequent abusers were teachers, school staff, and classmates. To check this hypothesis, a total of 1710 questionnaires were sent to 10 public and private secondary schools between January 4 and April 30, 1999. The response rate was 98.7%. A total of 269 students reported being sexual abused before the age of 16 for an overall incidence of 15.9%. There were 74 boys (27.5%) and 195 girls (72.5%) with a mean age 11.6 years (range 4 to 15 years) at the time of abuse. Sexual abuse involved rape in 38.7% of cases, fondling in 54.6% and pornographic scenes in 6.7%. Of the 274 sexual abusers identified, 86.5% were men and 13.5% were women. Sexual abuse took place within the family in 31.4% of cases and outside the family setting 68.6%. Sexual abuse occurred in a school setting in approximately 15% of cases and involved classmates in approximately 30%. The alleged extrafamilial abusers were teachers in 7.9% of cases and tutors in 7.6%. Survey data supports the working hypothesis of this study and warrants implementation of a program to prevent sexual abuse in schools.

Teacher Job Satisfaction, Student Achievement, and the Cost of Primary Education in Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa - Michaelowa, Katharina (RePEc: Research Papers in Economics, 2002)
Low teacher motivation and its detrimental effect on student achievement are central problems of many education systems in Africa. Using standardized data for student achievement in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d`Ivoire, Madagascar and Senegal, this paper analyzes the empirical links between various policy measures, teacher job satisfaction and primary education outcomes. It appears that there is only very limited evidence for the effectiveness of intensively debated and costly measures such as increasing teachers salaries, reducing class size, and increasing academic qualification requirements. Other, more simple measures such as improved equipment with textbooks are both more effective and less costly. It also appears that teacher job satisfaction and education quality are not necessarily complementary objectives. Especially those measures ensuring control and incentive related working conditions for teachers, significantly increase student achievement while reducing teacher job satisfaction. In addition, teachers` academic qualification beyond the baccalaureat, while beneficial for students` learning, tends to lead to a mismatch between teachers` expectations and professional realities, and thereby reduces teachers` job satisfaction.

DEVELOPMENT OF FARM FIELD SCHOOL METHODOLOGY FOR SMALL- HOLDER DAIRY FARMERS IN KENYA - Minjauw, B.; Muriuki, H.G.; Romney, D.L. (2002)
Currently, over 500 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) on integrated pest management (IPM) and/or integrated soil management are being successfully implemented in Kenya and many more in Africa as a whole. The FFS methodology needs to be developed for similarly complex situations like animal health and production where responses to interventions may not be as fast. In a recent study in Central and Rift Valley Provinces of Kenya, approximately 90% of rural households were agricultural and of these 73% had dairy cattle. In the DFID bilaterally funded Smallholder Dairy Project (SDP) characterisation and longitudinal monitoring of smallholder dairy farms has confirmed that in Rift Valley Province, smallholder farmers consider endemic diseases, particularly tick-borne diseases (TBD), and inadequate supplies of feed resources the major constraints to increased dairy production. The livestock FFS project started in April 2001 and funded by the DFID Animal Health Programme and FAO, is adapting and testing the FFS methodology for animal health and production, focussing upon smallholder dairy farmers. Ten pilot FFS have been established in five different agro-ecological zones in Central, Rift Valley and Coastal Provinces of Kenya. Implementation of these FFS is allowing adaptation of agro-ecological system analysis (AESA) with the animal as a focal point and development of participatory technology development (PTD) to address livestock related issues. Approaches and methods to test and introduce integrated methods to control tick-borne diseases and helminth infections and to improve animal husbandry practices and the efficiency of utilization of available feed resources within the crop-dairy system are being developed.

The impact of inclusion policy on school psychology practices in Zimbabwe - Mnkandla, Maureen; Mataruse, Kurauone (Educational and Child Psychology, 2002)
Abstract This paper provides an overview of policy related to school psychology and special education practices. Aims and principles are outlined and used to interrogate existing practice. Small case vignettes and models of good practice are offered and barriers, opportunities and ways forward identified. It is concluded that inclusion policy needs must be underpinned by specific legal requirements for policy implementation and monitoring mechanisms. The material and manpower resource implications are emphasised and the training needs of both psychologists and regular teachers are highlighted.

The effect of intervention strategies used by teachers on learners who display emotional and behavioral disorders in some schools in the Qwaqwa region of the eastern Free State province of South Africa - Mofutsanyana, Makgoarayi Emelina (2002)
This study sought to investigate the extent to which teachers witness any kind of emotional and/or behavioural disorders displayed by learners at the three levels of schooling in QwaQwa, namely junior and senior primary and secondary schools. The focus was on whether the intervention strategies teachers use are effective or not, particularly since corporal punishment was curtailed by law as stated in the South African Schools Act of 1996. The effectiveness of each strategy was investigated at these three levels in 12 schools, where 98 questionnaires were distributed to teachers, and principals were interviewed with the hope of uncovering information that people might more easily provide in conversations than in written form. The findings revealed that learners do display emotional and emotional behavioural disorders (EBDs), which are sometimes stressful for teachers. Although there were no significant differences in the extent of the occurrences, neverthless it was alarming to discover that senior primary learners were the most problematic of the three levels.

Islamic education in South Africa - Mohamed, Yasien (ISIM Newsletter, 2002)
Muslims make up about 2% of the 42 million people in South Africa. They were classified under the Apartheid as 'Malays' and 'Indians' and settled in such major cities as Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg and Pretoria. As the longest surviving religious minority in a predominantly Christian and secular country, the Muslims of South Africa have preserved their cultural and religious identity. This is due, in no small measure, to their Islamic educational institutions.

Theatre in Education in Cape Schools: Reflections on South African Theatre Making practices - Morris, Gay (South African Theatre Journal, 2002)
Abstract In this article, I shall explain why we began teaching Educational Drama and Theatre to undergraduates at the University of Cape Town, why I investigated the processes involved, and what questions this research has raised for me. The task of Theatre in Education performers is teased out in relation to what I have witnessed in TIE programmes, found in reports written by students and ideas proposed by theatre theorists. The four contextual frames through which John OToole considers Theatre in Education; namely neighbourhood ethos, venue, audience availability and the fictional world of the play; provides a workable means with which to examine the effects of these different factors on performance. The interaction between the performers, the performance site and the audience in Theatre in Education suggests possibilities for a more flexible approach to theatre making by South African theatre practitioners.

Teacher training in early childhood education: The case of Ghana, West Africa - Morrison, Johnetta Wade (Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2002)
Abstract Teacher training in early childhood education in Ghana, West Africa is more of a grassroots effort rather than a formal system that is fully supported financially by the Ministry of Education. Formal teacher‐training college or university‐based early childhood teacher training has yet to be realized for the thousands of teachers of children 3–5 years old in government or government‐supported primary schools. This work chronicles the past and present teacher‐training programs available in this country that reports approximately 4.3 million children in its population under the age of 6 years.

AN EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH FOR TEACHING STATISTICS IN THE EGYPTIAN SCHOOLS - Mosad, Reda; Asar, El-Said (2002)
Teachers of mathematics in Egyptian schools almost depend on traditional lectures and discussions in teaching the statistics units which concentrate often on either mere computational aspects or theoretical concepts and distributions. To change this situation, an experimental approach is suggested to be used in Egyptian schools as a useful base for teaching and learning the subject in these schools. Questions interspersed throughout the experiments intend to promote statistical thinking among students, to help them to discuss the results obtained and to formulate final conclusions. One of the basic features of the approach is to give students the chance to use some of the methods used by real statisticians, then to find out relationships, new meanings and findings for themselves. By using such an approach, students can collect, analyze data and discover things by themselves. A field study conducted for preparatory stage students in Egypt (11 - 14 years old) has revealed the effectiveness of the suggested approach in achieving its goals.

Labor, Liquidity, Learning, Conformity and Smallholder Technology Adoption: The Case of SRI in Madagascar - Moser, Christine; Barrett, Christopher B. (Social Science Research Network, 2002)
This paper explores the roles of seasonal labor and liquidity constraints, learning, and social conformity factors in explaining the adoption of a high-yielding, low-external input rice production method in Madagascar, called the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). We present a simple, multi-period model of technology adoption, and then use a dynamic sample selection model to analyze the decisions to adopt, expand and disadopt this method. We find that seasonal liquidity constraints discourage adoption by poorer farmers despite the minimal cash outlays required, while household labor constraints limit the extent of adoption conditional on initial experimentation. Learning effects - both from one's own experience and from exposure to others with experience with the technology - exert significant influence over whether to try the method, the proportion of area planted in it, and whether to continue with it. Finally, we find strong evidence that social conformity considerations affect farmers' discrete decision over whether or not to experiment with the new technology.

LABOR, LIQUIDITY, LEARNING, CONFORMITY AND SMALLHOLDER TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION: THE CASE OF SRI IN MADAGASCAR - Moser, Christine; Barrett, Christopher B. (RePEc: Research Papers in Economics, 2002)
Although rice accounts for approximately forty-four percent of land under cultivation and forty-six percent of caloric intake in Madagascar, most farmers cannot produce enough rice to feed their families. Total rice production increased little in the country during the 1990s, and yields were stagnant and well below world average yields. Because of the importance of rice for both family income and nutrition and because of the significant role upland rice cultivation plays in deforestation in Madagascar, intensification of lowland rice production has been a major focus of many development interventions. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a method that has been promoted and closely followed in Madagascar for more than ten years. SRI is remarkable for its dramatic increases in yields achieved without external inputs. While the method is more labor intensive, the doubling or even tripling of yields would appear to make the method extremely profitable. Despite its apparent potential and intensive extension efforts in some areas, adoption rates have generally been low, and the average rate of disadoption (the percentage of households who have tried the method and who no longer practice it) for study area was 40 percent. Using survey data from five communities in Madagascar, a sample selection model and a probit model were used to study three related choices farmers must make concerning the SRI. The first is whether to try the method, and then, conditional on having tried the method a farmer must decide how much of his lowland rice area to put in the SRI. Finally, for all subsequent years, a farmer must decide whether to continue using the method. While many adoption studies have looked at the role of liquidity and labor, few have done so in a dynamic setting. We take advantage of reliable recall data and NGO records on technology use to construct a panel data set, which was used to analyze the effects of learning, labor, liquidity, and social benefits over a five-year period. Learning has been the focus of several recent adoption studies, but this study tries to separate the learning effects from the effects of compliance with authority figures and with social and cultural norms. The results show that planting-season labor and liquidity constraints are extremely important factors in the adoption decisions of Malagasy farmers. Although the method is low-external input, the poorest farmers are not able to take advantage of the technology. This result is very important for development policy-makers in Madagascar who have often seen rice intensification as the most important means by which to alleviate rural poverty in Madagascar.

The Provision of Library and Information Services to Distance Learners: The Open University of Tanzania (OUT) - Msuya, Jangawe; Maro, Farijala (Libri, 2002)
This paper presents the findings of research conducted on the provision of information services to distance learners by the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). The objective of the research was to discover how the Open University of Tanzania provides library and information services to its distance learners and the extent to which these services meet the needs of the learners. The study was done with a view to suggesting ways in which information provision at OUT could be improved. Data collection was done in the Dar es Salaam and Mwanza regions where a total number of 190 respondents were involved in the survey. Findings of the study reveal that the Open University of Tanzania has problems in meeting the information needs of its staff and students. The Main library does not have adequate resources while OUT Information Units at Regional Centres and Tanzania Library Services are poorly stocked. In addition, the few materials that are available do not reflect the curriculum. As a way of alleviating the problem, OUT students use the library services of other nearby institutions. Recommendations to improve the situation are given at the conclusion.

Patterns of road traffic injuries and associated factors among school-aged children in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania - Museru, Lawrence; Leshabari, MT; Mbembati, Naa (African Safety Promotion, 2002)
A study was conducted to describe the pattern of road traffic injuries and associated factors among schoolaged children attending public hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, between May and October 1999. The study included all children younger than 18 years, and data were collected using a structured interview guide. This article is based on an analysis of 286 children who sustained road traffic injuries out of a total of 1886 children presenting with various injuries during the study period. Almost 52% of these children were in primary school, with the most common age group between 5 and 9 years. A large majority of the children came from the poorer socio-economic residential areas of the city. Almost one-third of the victims and 36% of guardians were unaware of safer ways of walking on the road. Parents or guardians perceived the risk of road traffic injuries as low, with one-third thinking that they were not a major problem in their community. Similarly, two-thirds of guardians thought that collisions to children could not be prevented. This study demonstrates that road traffic injuries are a major problem among school-aged children in Dar es Salaam. Furthermore, the study reveals that there is significant ignorance about safe road usage among the parents or guardians of injured children, and that the majority of them think that collisions are not preventable.

Building an inclusive education and training system. What is next for educational psychologists in South Africa? - Muthukrishna, Nithi; Baez, Maria D. (Educational and Child Psychology, 2002)
Abstract This paper discusses new policy and legislation in South Africa with regard to inclusive education, and the emerging new role for educational psychologists as opposed to the traditional ‘within-child’ deficit approach. The first part of this paper centres on the historical context in which policy emerged, and why the need for change was so critical. The second part examines a recent policy initiative, White Paper 6 (Department of Education, July 2001) that signifies a shift to a more systemic approach to education support services, educational psychology and a focus on barriers to learning and participation experienced by learners. Finally, the paper presents a discussion of the challenges and implications of policy for the changing role of educational psychologists in South Africa.

Gender Inequality in Industrial and Technical Education in Nigeria: Parents' Perspectives in the 21st Century - Ndahi, Hassan B. (Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, 2002)
This article examines the attitudes of parents in Nigeria towards the participation of their daughters in industrial and technical education programs. Participation by young Nigerian women in technical fields continues to lag behind that of men. The author demonstrates that, although parental attitudes towards female participation in fields of study traditionally dominated by men have changed, more effort is needed to address the persistent under-representation of women in these fields. Parents in this study believed that a greater commitment by government to diversity is a key strategy in redressing the imbalance.

PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY PREGNANT STUDENT NURSES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA - Netshikweta, M.L.; Ehlers, V.J. (Health Care for Women International, 2002)
The purpose of this quantitative exploratory descriptive survey was to determine which problems pregnant student nurses experienced in the Northern Province (NP) of the Republic of South Africa (RSA). Questionnaires were completed by 93 pregnant student nurses in this province, indicating that the majority of them became pregnant because they lacked knowledge about contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, and termination of pregnancy (TOP) services (legalized in the RSA since 1996). They delayed seeking prenatal care and experienced tiredness, dizziness, and vaginal bleeding during the first trimester. Most pregnant student nurses encountered academic problems as a result of their pregnancies. These and other results indicate a dire need to educate the student nurses about contraceptives and about accessing reproductive health care services. If the students do not utilize the available services themselves, it is unlikely that they will advise their clients to utilize such services.

Gender Participation in Technical Training Institutions: An Assessment of the Kenyan Case - Ngware, Moses (Eastern Africa Social Science Research Review, 2002)
The paper focuses on skill training opportunities for females in Technical Education Programmes (TEP) in Kenya. In Africa, labour markets have become so competitive that females need to be assisted to enter such markets. Expanding skill-training opportunities for females in training institutions could meet this demand. Informal interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data that were analysed within the framework of human capital theory. Sex balance was lacking in TEP and most institutions were internally inefficient, with endogenous factors forcing trainees out of the training programmes.

Redress and empowerment for gender equity in South African education - Niemann, Rita (Acta Academica, 2002)
This study subjects gender equity in the South African education sector to scrutiny by focusing on gender domination, empowerment and redress in order to offer guidelines for effective movement towards gender equity. The education system is the single largest organisation in the country and could thus make a major contribution to the establishment of gender equity, if all forms of sexism and discrimination could be eradicated and if the necessary redress and empowerment were achieved. This study investigates sexism and discrimination, management, the school and the classroom as areas in urgent need of redress and then provides guidelines for rectifying the existing imbalances and for creating a foundation for sound gender relations. Regstelling en bemagtiging vir geslagsgelykheid in die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwys Hierdie studie neem geslagsgelykheid in die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwys onder die loep deur op geslagsdominansie, bemagtiging en die regstelling van ongelykhede te fokus sodat riglyne vir 'n doelgerigte beweging na geslagsgelykheid neergele kan word. Die onderwysstelsel is die grootste enkele organisasie in die land en kan 'n belangrike bydrae tot die vestiging van geslagsgelykheid lewer, mits die onderwysstelsel self vry is van seksisme en diskriminasie en die nodige regstelling en bemagtiging sou plaasvind. Hierdie studie ondersoek seksisme en diskriminasie in die onderwysbestuur, die skool en die klaskamer, terreine waar 'n dringende behoefte aan regstelling bestaan en le dan riglyne neer om die bestaande ongelykhede uit die weg te ruim en 'n grondslag vir gesonde geslagsverhoudinge daar te stel.

IMPLICATIONS OF COST SHARING POLICY ON ACCESS AND PERSISTENCE IN SECONDARY EDUCATION SYSTEM: A CASE OF CHIRADZULU DISTRICT IN MALAWI DECEMBER 2002 DYCE KAPUMULA NKHOMA, DIP. ED. UNIVERSITY OF MALA WI, CHANCELLOR COLLEGE. B. ED. UNIVERSITY OF MALA WI, CHANCELLOR COLLEGE ADVISOR: PROFESSOR DAVID EV ANS This study investigated the impact of cost sharing policy on access and persistence of students in secondary school system in Chiradzulu district in Malawi. The policy was implemented in 2001. The impact of the policy on families' financial budgets was investigated. The study also explored the views of secondary school head teachers and parents regarding the new secondary school fees that resulted from the implementation of the policy. Two questionnaires were used to collect data. Secondary school head teacher questionnaire was administered in 15 secondary schools, 14 questionnaires were collected, representing a return rate of 93.3%. Household survey questionnaire was administered in all the 84 households that were sampled, representing a 100% return rate. Literature records that raising school fees reduces the degree of equality of educational opportunities favoring the rich and increases dropout rate especially among the poor. High cost of secondary education affects particularly girls more than boys The poor disinvest in physical assets in order to pay school fees.

Feasibility of Reducing the Caesarean Section Rate at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria - Nkwo, Peter O; Onah, HE (Tropical journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2002)
Context: Caesarean section carries a significantly higher mortality and morbidity than vaginal delivery. There has been a growing concern over the increasing rate of caesarean operations worldwide and the need to reduce this. This is particularly important in Nigeria where women dislike the operation and the risks are significantly increased due to fragile health facilities. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of reducing the caesarean section rate in a Nigerian tertiary obstetric centre. Study Design, Setting and Subjects: A critical analysis of caesarean sections performed at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria from 1st January 2000 to 30th June 2002. Results: There were a total of 906 caesarean sections (CS) out of 3626 deliveries giving an overall caesarean section rate (CSR) of 25.0%. Seven out of the 27 indications for the operation accounted for 91% of the cases. These were: 2 or more previous caesarean sections (22.0%), dystocia/cephalopelvic disproportion (20.6%), 1 previous caesarean section (17.4%), hypertensive disorders (9.4%), antepartum haemorrhage (8.3%), fetal distress (7.3%) and breech presentation (6.1%). In the assessment of the authors, the hospital CSR of 25% can be reduced by nearly 25% if some basic facilities are provided in the hospital, if the decision-intervention interval is minimised in emergency situations and if the physicians change their practice styles Conclusion: It is feasible to reduce the caesarean section rate in Nigerian tertiary care practice if hospital administrators provide the necessary monitoring tools and minimise institutional delays, and if physicians stop practising along planes of least resistance. Key Words: Caesarean Section, Delivery, Rate, Obstetric Practice. [Trop J Obstet Gynaecol, 2002, 19: 86-89]

A review of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae At The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nige - Nnoruka, EN; Ozoh, G. (International Journal of Medicine and Health Development, 2002)
Aim: To determine the profile of acne keloidilis nuchae among Nigerians and to document the various treatment modalities undertaken by these patients prior to presentation at our dermatology clinic. Patient and Methods: A retrospective study of patients with acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu, from 1993 to 1998 was undertaken. This was supplemented by a further prospective study on 23 patients to clarify issues not documented or highlighted by patients folders. Results: 203 out of 7.861 new patients with skin disorders seen within the study period had AKN. The prevalence was 2.6%. The rash was discovered accidentally in 43% of cases. 89.9% discovered the rashes between 15-40 years. 3(1.5%) affected females had in addition irregular menstrual cycles and infertility. Acneiform eruptions occurred in 63.2% whilst the lesions were already fibotic with keloid-like papules/plaques in 76.3%. The eruptions were distributed commonly in a band-like pattern along the posterior hairline in 97.3% and 19.7% had keloids elsewhere whilst seborrhea was a common finding in 63.5%. The treatment with the use of native concoctions, caustic chemicals and traumatic physical modalities was a common observation. Conclusion: The pattern of acne keloidalis nuchae in Nigerians is similar to that reported in the western literature, except for significant proportion of males presenting at the fibrotic phase with massive keloids initially. Crude local treatment is to be discouraged to reduce secondary infection and keloid formation. Key words: Acne Keloidalis Nuchae, Complications and Management.

STATISTICS AT FOUNDATION SCHOOL LEVEL IN SOUTH AFRICA THE WAY FORWARD - North, Delia; Ottaviani, Maria Gabriella (2002)
Historically, little or no statistics has been taught at schools in South Africa. This is about to change dramatically with the introduction of a new curriculum. The dilemma however, is that statistics will have to be taught by teachers who have had little or no training in statistics! The authors propose a plan, aimed at the foundation phase, to assist teachers to cope with the challenges of teaching statistics successfully. They emphasize that it is of cardinal importance that statistical training is developed according to the age of the learners, bearing in mind the mathematical tools that they have at their disposal at that time.

Effect of staffing, supplies and facilities on primary school performance in Uganda was estimated using OLS on district level data. Parameter estimates and significance tests show that textbooks have an important influence on performance under prevailing levels of staffing and facilities. In addition, performance in schools in the northern region was lower than in the central region. This study suggests that considerable improvements in performance can be attained by additional expenditure on school textbooks.

This paper assessed the library collection, staffing, building space, furniture and the profile of eight secondary schools in Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The evaluation was based on the ;Lagos Library Board for Schools Libraries Standards;. The findings showed that school libraries were yet to achieve any meaningful growth in the educational system of Lagos State. The school libraries were completely undeveloped, under-staffed, under-used and improperly organised. Also the facilities were inadequate and the collections were obsolete. Suggestions on the revenue generation strategies in order to reduce over dependency on the state Ministry of Education for fund were made in the paper.

Bridging the gap between forestry education and sustainable forestry development in Nigeria - Ogar, David Abua; Angba, Augustine O. (Journal of Environmental Extension, 2002)
Forestry education is one of the vital factors that can contribute to the sustainable development of forestry sub-sector in any country. In Nigeria, there is a big gap between forestry education and sustainable forestry development. The paper examines the development of forestry education and deforestation in the country. Also, it examines how non- availability of land, political factor, inadequate funding, poverty etc. hinders sustainable forestry development in the country. The paper concluded by suggesting that forestry education should evolve from the colonial forestry curricula to enable forestry institutions in Nigeria handle contemporary forestry issues in the country.

Portrayal of Disability Through Personal Names and Proverbs in Kenya; Evidence From Ekegusii and Nandi - Ogechi, Nathan Oyori; Ruto, Sara Jerop (Journal of African Studies, 2002)
This paper discusses perceptions of disability as portrayed in the Abagusii and Nandi communities of Kenya. It is motivated by the need to show that many existing studies uphold blanket generalisations on disability and subsequently do not cater for different cultural views. For instance, existing literature is replete with cases describing the social stigma attached to disability which compounds the social handicap of the disabled person. However, inquiries on disabili ty among the Abagusii and Nandi communities imply that the social stigma is not always attached to one on the basis of her/his disability; rather, on one’s potential to function as a member of the society. From the analysed data, it is clear that an understanding of the concept, causes and treatment of disability entails a holistic mastery of the cultural beliefs concerning relationships of man, nature and the universe.

'Tales by moonlight' and the televisual education of the Nigerian child - Oha, Obododimma; Andah, Louisa (2002)
Comme dans d’autres pays africains, l’ecole dans le Nigeria postcolonial souffre de l’anxiete qui resulte de l’ambivalence et du gout d’inacheve que generent les nombreuses quetes postcoloniales de reconstruction et de definition de soi. De nombreux aspects de l’education et de la culture locales ne sont pas pris en compte par la pedagogie formelle heritee de l’ecole occidentaled’une maniere qui permette de valoriser les savoirs indigenes. Cet article analyse la maniere dont la direction de la television nigeriane, par le biais de son programme intitule « Legendes de clair de lune » s’est inspire des modes indigenes de narration aux fins d’education morale et culturelle. Les auteurs etudient le rapport entre les strategies visuelles, orales et musicales adoptees dans la presentation du programme et le contexte social, l’audience visee par le programme et les conditions psychologiques dans lesquelles la television est regardee au Nigeria. Les auteurs etudient egalement la mentalite d’un segment de l’audience constitue de jeunes qui regardent le programme a domicile. Selon les auteurs, outre qu’elle constitue un moyen de reconstruire l’authenticite culturelle dans le contexte postcolonial, la maniere de presenter le programme prouve que la television est devenue un moyen utile de mobilisation des modeles culturels indigenes et de decentrage de la production intellectuelle dans le milieu postcolonial.

Causes and management of intestinal obstruction at The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu - Ojukwu, Joseph; Aghaji, AE (DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals), 2002)
Aim: To review the incidence, aetiology and management of intestinal obstruction at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Enugu. Patient and Methods: A retrospective review of all patients admitted into UNTH, diagnosed and treated as intestinal obstruction, over a 5 years period (January1989 to December1993). Results: Ninety five (95) cases were recorded during the study period, made up of 62 males and 33 females. The main causes of obstruction were adhesions(58), volvulus(11), intussusception(10), and hernias(9). Seventy seven patients were managed for acute obstruction while 18 were managed as subacute obstruction. Large bowel obstruction occurred in 15 patients(15.8%) and small bowel obstruction was recorded in 80 patients(84.2%). Surgical intervention was carried out in 79 patients (83.2%) while 26 patients(16.9%) responded to conservative management. There was no morality. Conclusion: The pattern of small bowel obstruction at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu is similar to that in the west though that of large bowel obstruction maintains the African pattern. This is probably due to the tertiary nature of the institution since only very intractable cases are referred.

Gender and Education as Determinants of Household Poverty in Nigeria - Okojie, Christiana E.E. (RePEc: Research Papers in Economics, 2002)
The paper examines the linkages between gender of household heads, education and household poverty in Nigeria between 1980 and 1996. Data analyzed were obtained from four national consumer expenditure surveys conducted in Nigeria in 1980, 1985, 1992 and 1996 by the Federal Office of Statistics. Adjustments were made for price differentials over time and across regions of the country. However, only aggregated data for households were available. Per capita expenditure was used as the indicator of poverty, while the unit of analysis was the household. Two poverty lines were set: a moderate poverty line equal to two-thirds of mean per capita household expenditure, and a core poverty line equal to one-third of mean per capita expenditure. The Pα index proposed by Foster, Greer and Thorbecke was used to generate the headcount ratio as well as the depth and severity of poverty. Trends in inequality were analyzed using Gini coefficients and the Theil’s index. Multivariate analysis was used to examine the relationships between gender, poverty and other household variables, including education, for all households as well as for subgroups of male-headed and female-headed households respectively.

The use and abuse of psychoactive substances by students of a Rural secondary school in Enugu Nigeria - Okonkwo, Kob; Ezeani, PO (DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals), 2002)
Aim: To delineate the problem of the use of psychoactive substances in a rural secondary school. Method: Using a self report questionnaire a random sample of students of a rural secondary school in Enugu State in Nigeria was studies to find the prevalence and the pattern of use of psychoactive substances. Results: A life time prevalence of the use of substances of 76.3 percent was obtained. Eighty one percent of the boys as against 67.8% of girls have ever used drugs and this was statistically significant (P Conclusion: It is pertinent to mention the observation of the absence of the use of Amphetamine, Cocaine, Opiodis and Hallucinogens in our study population. However, the need for immediate action to check this level of drug is highlighted and the need for health education in all schools is stressed. Key words: Drug abuse, rural school, prevention.

The provision of library support service in colleges of education in Botswana - Oladokun, Olugbade; Fidzani, B.T. (African Journal of Library, Archives and Information Science, 2002)
As a result of the affiliation of the colleges of education (COE) in Botswana to the University of Botswana, the libraries attached to the colleges were assessed with a view to finding out if they met the standards recommended for college libraries. Thus, the guidelines recommended in ;College Library Standards, 1995 edition; were used in assessing the six colleges surveyed. The main factors used in assessing the libraries were: mission statement, collection, staffing, budget, technical services/materials organisation, library services, library administration and facilities. The findings revealed that most of the factors enumerated above were found to be inadequate in the six college libraries surveyed. Recommendations were made to all stakeholders to ensure that the libraries were considerably improved to enable them to perform the functions for which they were established.

Experience with Unoperated Cleft Lip and Palate Patients in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital - Olasoji, Oladapo; Arotiba, Toyin; Dogo, D (Tropical Doctor, 2002)
A review of 31 cases of unoperated cleft lip and palate patients aged 10 years and above managed over a 6 years period at a suburban Nigeria teaching hospital is presented. There was an overall preponderance of the female gender and isolated cleft lip (58%) was the most predominant. Although clefts were very wide on presentation, there was adequate well-developed soft tissue in adults to achieve a cosmetically and functionally acceptable repair. This study also confirms the views that late primary repair of facial cleft is less likely to produce impaired growth of the maxillaas is commonly observed in early repair. However, the advantages of early repair cannot be over-emphasized.

The prevalence of enterhaemorrhagic escherichia coli in children presenting with diarrhoea at University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin, Nigeria - Omoigberale, AI; Okolie, M.; Ajieh, M. (DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals), 2002)
Objective: To determine the prevalence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), the pathogenicity of other strains of Escherichia coli and other organisms in children presenting with and without diarrhoea in the hospital. Subjects and Methods: A total of 247 stool samples collected from children aged 1 month to 7 years, made up of children with diarrlhoea (90) and children without diarrhoea (157), were screened for the presence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Microscopy, culture and biochemical tests were done on all stool samples for the presence of EHEC and other enteric pathogens and for the presence of parasites. Results: Out of the 247 stools tested, 103 (41.7%) were infected with pathogenic organisms. No protozoan parasite was isolated. Out of the 90 children with diarrhoea and the 157 children without diarrhoea, 64 (71.1%) and 39 (24.8%) (X2 = 2.462; P 0.05) and also between the sources of water supply and E. coil infection (X2 = 0.502; P>0.05) Conclusion: This study which was specifically carried out to determine the prevalence of EHEC in diarrhoea children recorded a zero prevalence. However in the course of the study other strains of E. coli and other organisms were isolated as reported in the study. This suggests therefore that EHEC is not a common cause of watery diarrhoea in children. We suggest that further work be done using bloody stool samples and stool samples from children with renal failure. Perhaps its prevalence may be higher as EHEC is thought to be strongly associated with bloody diarrhoea and children with haemolytic uraemia syndrome.

The practice of lifelong learning in Indigenous Africa - Omolewa, Michael (2002)
In this paper the author suggests that Africa had a systematic, coordinated system of the theory and practice of lifelong learning that was afflicted by colonial rule and subjugation and suffered a severe setback with the introduction of Western education and modernisation. However the remnants that have survived seem to be lasting and self-sustaining. Lifelong learning in Indigenous Africa is described and recommendations for a more relevant and responsive lifelong learning program in Africa are given.

Malocculusion pattern among Handicapped children in Ibadan, Nigeria - Onyeaso, Chukwudi Ochi (Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2002)
Objective: There is paucity of information in Nigeria concerning the occlusal characteristics of handicapped children, yet they need functional and aesthetic consideration comparable to that of ‘normal' persons. The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of malocclusion among the handicapped children in Ibadan, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: An epidemiological survey of 412 handicapped children aged 6 – 18 years, 210 males (51%) and 202 females (49%) was carried out. All the children were examined in their classrooms under natural illumination with the assistance of the class teachers and the information obtained such as Angle's classification 12,13,14, overjet based on jackson's method15, overbite and tooth – bone ratio were entered in a pre-structured data form. Result: From the results, normal occlusion was seen in 13.8% children, Angle's class 1 malocclusion in 55.3%, 21.4% had Angle's class II while Angle's class III was seen in 9.5%. One case of Angle's class II div. 2 was seen. Females had statistically significant higher number of class III malocclusion cases (P Spacing of the upper labial segment was observed to occur in 51.2% of children examined while spacing of the lower labial segment was noted in 39.6%. Crowding of these segments occurred in 9.2% and 17.7% respectively of the sample population. Overbite I was observed in 54.6% of the children examined. Deep bite (overbite 3) occurred in 2.9% of those examined. Overjet values of less than 2 mm were the most prevalent occurring in 82.3% while 6.3% of the children examined had increased overjet. Conclusion: The pattern of malocclusion among those handicapped children did not vary widely from their ‘normal' counterparts. KEY WORDS: Malocclusion pattern; Handicapped children; Ibadan – Nigeria.

Susceptibility Pattern of Nasopharyngeal Isolates of Streptococcus Pneumoniae among Nursery School Children in Enugu, Nigeria - Onyemelukwe, N.F.; Ohanu, Martin E.; Nwokocha, Ada R.C. (International Journal of Medicine and Health Development, 2002)
Aims: To determine the rate of nasopharyngeal colonization of Streptococcus pneumoniae among nursery school children in Enugu urban and to determine their antibiotic susceptibility pattern particularly the penicillin resistant strains. Methods: Specimens were collected from the nasopharynx of 385 apparently healthy children aged between 12 to 36months with cotton tipped flexible metal applicator. The swabs were immediately inoculated on to blood agar plates. The plates were incubated at 37oC for 24-48 hours under 5% carbon dioxide. Organisms were identified and confirmed as S. pneumoniae according to Facklam and Washington technique. Antibiogram was carried out with penicillin by the oxacillin disc diffusion method and also to erythromycin chloramphenicol and cephalosporin using Muellur Hinton agar. Results: S. Pneumoniae was isolated from 64 (16.6%) children; 29% colonization rate observed in 141 malnourished children was significantly greater (p Conclusion: A good proportion of apparently healthy children in Enugu are nasopharyngeal carriers of beta lactam drug resistant strains of S. Pneumoniae especially in the malnourished group and mainly in the age group 12-24 months. This observation calls for a careful re-evaluation of the management of infections due to this organism that hitherto was well managed with penicillin and related drugs. There is need for constant monitoring of the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of S. Pneumoniae strains from patients in this community.
