An investigation into teachers' experiences of in-service training and professional development in Rwanda

Rutaisire, John January 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to investigate teachers' experiences of in-service training and professional development in Rwanda. It focuses on a programme for untrained secondary school teachers which aimed to equip them with the knowledge, skills and values in line with current government policy. It was concerned with whether the teaching and learning approaches used in the training programme were learner-centred, and the impact on teachers' professional identity. This is viewed against the backdrop of the assumptions that professional development improves the teaching and learning process and that teaching and learning improves with increased professional development provision. These dynamics are analysed from the perspective of the teachers' views and some observed practices, the theoretical principles of teacher professional development, and the policy guidelines of the Ministry of Education. As such, the research employs a qualitative methodology. The study has revealed that the training programme was presented, whether deliberately or by default as a course for upgrading teachers' status, and as a way of providing the superficial characteristics of a successful professional training. It has highlighted the challenges of the technical application of a model rather than identifying the needs and conditions for teacher engagement with their students in order to improve their own classroom performance. This is reflected through the overestimation of the trainers' capacity and the underestimation of the teachers' experiences, the lack of mastery of content, and the non-recognition of teachers as teaching and learning resources. There are also issues related to communication and interaction between the actors in the training programme which was a crucial factor that reflected the power relations between the trainers and the teachers. The teachers were being regulated by the terms of engagement set by the trainers instead of a collaborative effort. It highlights the restrictive nature of the assessment system, and interrogates the differences in the understanding of what teaching and learning is or should be, and what actually took place in the training of the teachers and of the students in the secondary school classrooms. The research has highlighted some issues which are not necessarily of a professional nature, but which nevertheless are of significance to the understanding of teacher professional identity. The teachers associate identity formation with the social developmental issues of qualification, status, recognition, and self-esteem. This has implications for the policies of the Ministry of Education viewed against the needs and conditions of the training of the secondary school teachers who are drawn mainly from rural schools. There are concerns about whether the programme appreciated the conditions in the schools, or whether the primary mission was to upgrade the qualifications of the teachers and not necessarily the upgrading of knowledge and skills. Finally, the research contributes to the illumination of both literature and methodology for future studies on the subject of teacher professional development, and to the current debate on its benefits and impact on professional practice in Rwanda.

The best place to be young and a female : a study about gender equality in Rwanda

Beaulier, Aniella January 2018 (has links)
Fältstudiens syfte har varit att analysera och beskriva jämställdhets effekter på den unga generationen i dagens Rwanda. Min uppsats utfördes med en kvalitativ ansats där intervjuer har varit centrala som metod för att samla in mitt material och data. Jag har intervjuat unga vuxna kvinnor som är entreprenör eller i ledare position. Mitt resultat erhålls genom deras berättelser och upplevelser om jämställdheten i Rwanda.  Rwanda har haft en stor representation av kvinnor i parlamentet vilket har i sin tur påverkat dessa unga kvinnor. Genom mina intervjuer har jag kommit fram till att Kvinnor i Rwanda tar mer plats som aldrig förr. Sammanfattningsvis har Rwanda gjort en stor skillnad för deras kvinnor. Den stora representationen av kvinnor i höga positioner har haft en bra inverkan på nästa generation och har inspirerat dem att drömma stort. Även om Rwanda har kommit långt när det gäller jämställdhet, utmaningar finns fortfarande och hela arbetet är inte gjort.

Politique de réduction de la pauvreté en situation post-conflit

Maburuki Bahati, Tembo Rachid 20 November 2006 (has links) (PDF)
L objectif de cette thèse c est de contribuer tant sur le plan théorique qu empirique à la recherche des liens qui existent entre les politiques macroéconomiques et les indicateurs sociaux et cela dans un contexte des pays sortant des guerres.La question principale qui attire notre attention est la suivante : quelles sont les politiques économiques à mettre en place dans un pays post-conflit afin de réduire sensiblement la pauvreté au sein des ménages ?Notre thèse s appuie sur deux hypothèses : D une part, nous pouvons souligné que toutes les réformes économiques devraient converger vers la croissance économique et la réduction de la pauvreté à la seule condition que cette croissance soit équitablement répartie. D autre part, nous considérons la volonté politique et l environnement macroéconomique stable.Il est clair que c est difficile pour qu un pays pauvre comme le Rwanda qui a subi pendant quatre ans des conflits ethniques aboutissant à un génocide s attende à un rythme de croissance rapide de son PIB par tête sans mettre en place un programme parallèle de discipline du planning familial afin de réduire le taux de croissance de sa population estimé actuellement à 2,9% et un programme solide des secteurs sociaux à travers l éducation et la santé de sa population.Pour tenter de répondre à cette question, nous utilisons le Modèle développé par la Banque mondiale appelé Simulateur Macroéconomique pour l Analyse de la Pauvreté . PAMS est un modèle qui lie les enquêtes sur les conditions de vies des ménages à des cadres macro-économiques. Il permet d'évaluer l'impact de politiques macro-économiques - en particulier celles associées aux stratégies de réduction de la pauvreté - sur l'emploi au sein des différents groupes socio-économiques, les revenus des ménages, l'incidence de la pauvreté et la distribution du revenu.Cette thèse s articule sur quatre chapitres ; le premier chapitre qui s'inscrit dans le débat actuel de la définition de la pauvreté sous toutes ses dimensions, il tisse la différence entre les seuils de la pauvreté selon différents auteurs ; il analyse ensuite et mesure les indicateurs relatifs à la pauvreté. Cette première partie de la thèse fait également le tour de la littérature en rapport avec le concept de la pauvreté, etc ; enfin, il défini et s interroge sur les Objectifs du Développement du Millénaire, en analysant le niveau que le Rwanda a atteint et le défis qu il doit lever afin d atteindre l horizon 2015.Le second chapitre essaye de tisser des liens entre la croissance et les dimensions monétaires et non monétaires de la pauvreté ; il examine les inégalités issues de cette croissance une fois réalisée dans un sens global.Il présente et analyse brièvement l évolution des certains agrégats 2 macroéconomiques et les principales mesures de politiques économiques qui ont été mises en place pendant la période post-conflit.Le troisième chapitre en revanche fait le bilan de la décennie 1990-2000, il fait d abord le diagnostic de l année 1990, il analyse les différents déséquilibres macro-économiques dont souffrait l économie Rwandaise pendant cette période, l impact des cours internationaux sur les principaux produits d exportations du Rwanda (café et thé), il fait ensuite un aperçu sur les tendances politiques et l origine du génocide de 1994 au Rwanda et les effets de celui-ci sur la situation socio-économique ; ce chapitre dégage le rôle de la communauté internationale dans le génocide et enfin compare les résultats des réformes économiques en fin période 1990- 1995-2000.Le quatrième chapitre finalement apporte des informations supplémentaires sur les liens entre la croissance et la réduction de la pauvreté au moyen du SMAP. Ce chapitre fait des simulations des politiques économiques permettant de juger l effet sur la pauvreté de différentes voies de croissance et des chocs exogènes, le but étant non pas de réduire la pauvreté de moitié en 2020, une pauvreté situé à 60% en 2003 mais un scénario beaucoup plus réaliste de réduire la pauvreté à 45,6% en 2020.A partir du scénario de référence, d autres simulations de politique économique ont été faites en analysant leurs effets sur la pauvreté et les inégalités. Nous en avons sélectionné cinq :(i) la modification du volume des exportations ; (ii) l augmentation de la production agricole ; (iii) la hausse des traitements des fonctionnaires et ; (iv) la modification de la composition de la croissance du PIB et enfin, prendre un groupe socio économique comme cible de politique économique. Pour conclure ce travail, sur base des simulations faites, les recommandations ont été formulées dans le cadre de la politique économique.

Rhetorical Weapons: The Social and Psychological Influences of Language and Labeling in Instances of Genocide

Jones, Emma C. 01 January 2011 (has links)
It is difficult to understand why genocide continues to occur, even when the international community pledges never to let it happen in the future. Techniques such as moral disengagement and dehumanization have consistently resulted in genocide. These techniques can be greatly amplified through the careful use of language and labeling. The purpose of this paper is to examine the roles that language and labeling play in genocide. Social and psychological influences that use language will be investigated through the examination of the Holocaust, the Cambodian genocide and the Rwandan genocide. These influences are many times unintentionally or unknowingly exercised and can have negative results for everyone involved. The use of language in the media is also examined, along with ways in which ordinary people can avoid susceptibility to language that could influence them to commit evil acts such as genocide.

Are Children Seeds or Are They Soil? : A Comparison between Martha Nussbaum’s Capability Approach and Utilitarian Philosophy applied to Critical Thinking in the Rwandan Education System

Mollvik, Lia January 2015 (has links)
Much research has been done within the field of Education on how to integrate Human Rights in education, both as a class subject and as a value system. Similarly, the research field of Education also contains many discussions of how “critical thinking” is taught and what its role in education is and should be. This thesis instead approaches the topic from “the other way round” so to speak, by using a “human rights lens” to explore ethical and political views on the goals of education generally and the role of critical thinking in education particularly, as they appear within a particular educational context – Rwanda’s education system. The philosophy of education of utilitarianism and that of Martha Nussbaum’s Capability Approach are here compared and contrasted with each other and act as a theoretical framework for understanding the Rwandan education system as it appears through the reading of policy documents and through the experience of a selected group of Rwandan primary and secondary school students. The thesis argues that an ethically acceptable and stable philosophy of education should spring from a conception of human beings as ends and not means. Starting with such a conception of human beings, the goal of education becomes that of developing each individual’s capabilities to their fullest potential. Additionally, the thesis argues that the role of critical thinking in education should be regarded as central, as the capability for critical thinking enhances the flourishing of other human capabilities.

Essays in Development Economics

Bjorkegren, Daniel Ingvar January 2014 (has links)
Economic development is often associated with the adoption of new technologies. The three chapters in this dissertation ask how societies can achieve efficient adoption of these technologies. The first two chapters analyze the dramatic spread of a new communication technology---the mobile phone---in the East African country of Rwanda, using transaction data. Many technologies important for the modern economy are network goods; these goods tend to diffuse inefficiently in the absence of careful policy design. The first chapter introduces a new method to estimate the value of a network good, and to simulate the effects of policies. Economic actors also must decide whether a given technology is worth adopting. The second chapter analyzes how individuals learn about a new technology, by tracing the adoption of a new, cheaper mobile phone plan. The third chapter considers the side effects of new technologies, specifically, how innovation affects dimensions of quality that are not observed by consumers. / Economics

BETWEEN RHETORIC AND REALITY: A PSYCHOSOCIAL EXAMINATION OF RWANDA'S NATIONAL UNITY AND RECONCILIATION POLICY

Vergos, Catherine 09 December 2011 (has links)
The policy of National Unity and Reconciliation in Rwanda has been the subject of much heated debate in recent years, prompted by the uncovering of repressive techniques of the current government. As the policy is designed to enhance the legitimacy of this government, the national rhetoric must be compared to its actions where reconciliation is concerned. Instead of promoting national unity and reconciliation, this thesis will show that the government actively obstructs Rwandan interpersonal reconciliation through the denial of acceptance and empowerment. The analysis is informed by the psychological needs-based model of reconciliation, bringing in aspects of psychological theory into a field largely dominated by law and political science.
