Second Chances: A Study of Rural Malawian Youth in a Complementary Basic Education ProgrammeMalcolm, Alison 14 December 2009 (has links)
In Malawi, an estimated 202 000 children are out of school and of those in school, less than 50 percent reach grade five. Increasingly, alternatives to the formal school system are gaining traction as a means to reach these excluded children. Recognizing the necessity, the Malawian government recently stipulated a non-formal provision in its education plan.
As demand increases, it is important to consider what makes these programmes appealing and sustainable. Using qualitative interview methods, this study explores the lives of ten rural Malawian youth who are participating in an alternative initiative and investigates factors that have influenced the students to initially join and remain in the programme.
The study sheds light on experience with alternative education initiatives as seen from the student perspective and provides insight into influences, motivation and successful non-formal programming by linking the theoretical framework to the findings.

Assessing the Impacts of Higher Education Institutions on Sustainable Development - An Analysis of Tools and IndicatorsFindler, Florian, Schönherr, Norma, Lozano, Rodrigo, Stacherl, Barbara January 2019 (has links) (PDF)
Many higher education institutions (HEIs) have started to incorporate sustainable
development (SD) into their system. A variety of sustainability assessment tools (SATs) have been
developed to support HEIs to systematically measure, audit, benchmark, and communicate SD efforts.
In recent years, stakeholders have increasingly asked HEIs to demonstrate their impacts on SD. These
impacts are the direct and indirect effects an HEI has outside of its organizational boundaries on
society, the natural environment, and the economy. This study analyzes to what extent SATs are
capable of measuring the impacts that HEIs have on SD. A mixed-method approach, using descriptive
statistics and an inductive content analysis, was used to examine 1134 indicators for sustainability
assessment derived from 19 SATs explicitly designed for application by HEIs. The findings reveal that
SATs largely neglect the impacts HEIs have outside their organizational boundaries. SATs primarily
use proxy indicators based on internally available data to assess impacts and thus tend to focus on
themes concerning the natural environment and the contribution to the local economy. Updating
existing SATs and developing new ones may enable HEIs to fully realize their potential to contribute
to SD.

Where leaders learn: constructions of leadership and leadership development at Rhodes UniversityAndrews, Rushda Ruth January 2011 (has links)
This thesis explores the Where Leaders Learn slogan of Rhodes University. It does this by means of an analysis of discourses constructing leadership and leadership development within the institutional context. The discourse analysis was made possible as a result of interviews with a range of people involved in leadership and leadership development at the University. The analysis revealed that leadership development is constructed as taking place within a highly structured system that enables instructional and managerial leadership but constrains transformational leadership. The discourses that give meaning and understanding to the construct of leadership draw heavily on position within a hierarchy. The discourse of functional efficiency is enabled through practices related to reward, recognition, succession planning and mentorship which all serve to replicate the existing leadership structures creating more of the same and in essence stifling the potential for emancipatory leadership. The analysis also shows that a discourse of collegiality serves to create a false sense of a common understanding of leadership in the light of evidence of uncertainty and contestation around the meaning of the slogan Where Leaders Learn and, by association, the very construct of leadership. The discursive process of understanding leadership and developing an institutional theory for the purposes of infusing this into a curriculum poses many challenges. Barriers to new ways of thinking reside within the researchers' ontological and epistemological commitments. This amplifies the need for a more reflective ontology towards leadership and its consequences, especially so in a multidisciplinary environment such as Rhodes University.

Aprendizagem em ações educacionais a distância: fatores influentes no desempenho acadêmico de universitários / Learning in distance education: factors that influence students academic performance.Lara Barros Martins 13 August 2012 (has links)
Os atuais contextos educacionais a distância ou híbridos, assentados na internet, introduzem novas formas de estudar e aprender, suscitando questões que precisam ser discutidas acerca da qualidade e efetividade da Educação a Distância (EAD). A presente pesquisa objetivou propor e testar um modelo de avaliação de ações educacionais a distância, visando identificar variáveis preditoras de aprendizagem relacionadas às características da clientela (estratégias de aprendizagem e frequência nos recursos da web) e às reações aos procedimentos instrucionais e ao tutor. A universidade parceira oferece desde 2008 cursos superiores em EAD, sendo as disciplinas semipresenciais Metodologia Científica e Economia, ofertadas a todos os graduandos da instituição. Foram aplicados virtual e presencialmente os questionários de Estratégias de aprendizagem, Reação aos procedimentos instrucionais e Reação ao desempenho do tutor, os quais, anteriormente à coleta de dados, sofreram modificações para se adequarem às especificidades dos contextos de ensino superior (validação semântica e/ou por juízes). Para constatar as evidências de validade dos instrumentos, foram realizadas análises exploratórias fatoriais (Principal Components e Principal Axis Factoring) e de consistência interna (Alfa de Cronbach). Todas as escalas são estatisticamente válidas e confiáveis. A análise de regressão múltipla padrão foi realizada para cumprir o objetivo de testagem do modelo, visando verificar a influência do uso dos recursos da web e das estratégias de aprendizagem, bem como a satisfação dos alunos com os procedimentos instrucionais e tutor, nos resultados de aprendizagem. A frequência de uso das ferramentas da web, as estratégias de aprendizagem autorregulatórias e as reações favoráveis aos procedimentos instrucionais explicaram a ocorrência de aprendizagem. Tais achados apontam para a importância do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, das trocas de mensagens entre alunos e tutores, e do uso de estratégias que promovem o autogerenciamento da aprendizagem e autorregulação da motivação, ansiedade e atenção, na produção de bons resultados, melhorando o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos que estudam a distância. Mais estudos são necessários para sistematizar conhecimentos sobre a avaliação de aprendizagem no ensino superior mediado por tecnologias e ampliar as discussões acerca da eficácia e aplicabilidade da modalidade EAD. / The current distance or blended educational contexts, supported by Internet, introduce new ways of studying and learning, and raise questions that need to be discussed about the quality and effectiveness of distance learning. This study aimed to propose and test a distance educational assessment model to identify learning predictors related to individual characteristics (learning strategies and frequency of use of web tools) and student satisfaction with the instructional procedures and tutor. The university that participated of it offers higher education distance courses since 2008, and the blended disciplines Scientific Methodology and Economics, are offered to all the institutions undergraduates. The questionnaires of Learning Strategies, Reaction to Instructional Procedures and Reaction to Tutors Performance were applied in person and online; previously to data collection, they were modified (semantic validation and/or by judges) to suit specific higher education contexts. To check the instruments validity evidences, exploratory factor analyzes were performed (Principal Components and Principal Axis Factoring) and internal consistency (Cronbach\'s Alpha). All scales are statistically valid and reliable. Multiple regression analysis was performed to fulfill the purpose of testing the model in order to verify the influence of web resources and learning strategies as well as student satisfaction with the tutor and instructional procedures, in learning outcomes. The frequency of use of web tools, self-regulatory learning strategies and the favorable reactions to the instructional procedures explained the occurrence of learning. These findings point to the importance of the virtual learning environment, the messages sent by students, and the use of strategies that promote self-management learning and self-regulation of motivation, anxiety and attention, in producing good learning results, which improve students academic performance. Further research is needed to systematize knowledge about learning assessment in higher education mediated by technologies and expand the discussions about the e-learning effectiveness and applicability.
