The study was designed to engage prospective mathematics teachers in creating web learning modules. The aim was to examine the mathematical task and perceived pedagogical usability of the modules for mathematics instructions in Ghana. The study took place at University of Education, Winneba. Classes of 172 prospective mathematics teachers working in design groups were involved in the study. Data were collected using Mathematical Task Usability Scale and Pedagogical Usability Rubrics. The...

The implementation of technical education curriculum has been besieged with dearth of qualified teaching personnel over the years in Nigeria and some other African countries. Similarly, the available higher institutions where vocational and technical education experts are prepared have not been able to meet this demand of the manpower. This calls for possible intervention strategies which could perhaps address this lingering problem. It is on this observation that this study examines the...

© 2015 African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development. This paper sought to investigate the characteristics of MSMEs and to suggest ways of improving performance, particularly tackling constraints faced by women and youth entrepreneurs in Ghana. A total of 4 433 MSME operators were interviewed in all the ten regions of Ghana using a structured questionnaire. The study revealed that apprenticeship was the most common form of training received by the MSME operators...

The Republic of South Sudan, recently emerging from the longest civil war in contemporary African history, has set goals towards post-conflict reconstruction in many areas of social services. However, the educational infrastructure continues to struggle, and many stakeholders in government and international and local organisations are not sufficiently aware of the needs, challenges and opportunities that face the implementation of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the...

This paper investigates the effects of a remedial education program -- the Roma Teaching Assistant Program -- targeting the socially excluded Roma minority in Serbia. By using first-hand collected data, we find evidence that children exposed to the program went more to school. We do not find an effect on dropouts or marks for all grades. An examination of heterogeneous effects suggests that children in the first grade benefited more from the program as compared to their older peers through...

Recent controversy has led to calls for increased standardization and transparency in the methods used to synthesize climate change research. Though these debates have focused largely on the biophysical dimensions of climate change, human dimensions research is equally in need of improved methodological approaches for research synthesis. Systematic review approaches, and more recently realist review methods, have been used within the health sciences for decades to guide research synthesis....

Wurde Migration früher meist als zusätzliche Bürde für Entwicklungsländer aufgefasst, rücken jetzt stärker ihre Potenziale für Entwicklung in den Blick. Dieser Paradigmenwechsel kann nur erfolgreich sein, wenn er auf allen politischen Handlungsebenen vollzogen und dabei die Perspektive erweitert wird: von den Interessen der Einwanderungsländer auf die der Migranten und der Auswanderungsländer.

This paper presents results from a randomized controlled trial whereby approximately 1,000 OLPC XO laptops were provided for home use to children attending primary schools in Lima, Peru. The intervention increased access and use of home computers, with some substitution away from computer use outside the home. Children randomized to receive laptops scored about 0.8 standard deviations higher in a test of XO proficiency but showed lower academic effort as reported by teachers. There were no...

Quest is a whole-year group approach to teaching English in Key Stage 3. Pupils are grouped according to their current level of reading comprehension, typically with smaller classes for the lowest attaining groups. Key components of the programme include: an emphasis on collaborative (or 'co-operative') learning; a requirement that participating teachers follow a consistent 'cycle of instruction'; and the use of formative assessment in every lesson. Pupil progress is reviewed every eight...
