The current trend in demography in most countries is one of increasing heterogeneity which gives rise to racial tensions and cultural conflicts. People need to come to terms with the fact that we need to co-exist in harmony, and this can only happen if there is genuine respect and acceptance of differences. Attitudinal and value systems can change only with knowledge and understanding. Education therefore plays a key role in bringing about these changes, and the best time to start this process of education is right from early childhood. This article explores the issues and challenges of doing just that. As crucial as it is that we embark on this path, we must be aware of the obstacles and diffi culties that lie in front of us in order to circumvent hurdles and strategise our efforts in the most optimum manner.","PeriodicalId":356133,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international cooperation in education","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124101836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is grounded on a model of the teaching-learning encounter and a framework for summarising the characteristics of a “good” teacher and an ideal classroom that underline the central place of classroom processes in a definition of quality education. The findings from the questionnaires and interviews summarize the views expressed by the various key actors of the educational system about the definition of quality education, some indicators that can be used to measure it, what one can expect to observe in an ideal classroom and the characteristics of a good teacher. The classroom observations revealed many of these “good” features of classroom practices. Some of the most important ones relate to a lively anxiety-free atmosphere and warm teacher-learner relations, and the special attention and initiative given to the pupils. These results as well as the feedback from the participants show that despite a certain number of methodological issues and practical diffi culties raised by this type of research, it can be further refi ned and used for monitoring quality and designing tools for school-based teacher development schemes.","PeriodicalId":356133,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international cooperation in education","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121225981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wawire","doi":"10.15027/34322","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15027/34322","url":null,"abstract":"This paper results from a study conducted in 2005-2006 on “the 2004 HIV/AIDS Education Sector Policy”. It investigates the practical implications of the policy document in addressing provisions related to orphaned and vulnerable children and the teaching and learning of HIV/AIDS education. The paper further assesses practitioners’ understanding of the policy. Data was collected from three districts in Kenya, Bondo, Nairobi and Garissa, which were selected to represent high, middle and low HIV prevalence, respectively. A total of 12 institutions were sampled. A cross cutting population of learners, teachers and teacher trainees, parents/ guardians, and education offi cers were reached primarily via qualitative methods of interviews, group discussions and observations. The data was analysed using MAX qda, a computer package for analysing qualitative data. The study fi ndings show that the basic needs of vulnerable children remain unmet, curtailing their full participation in the schooling process. This notwithstanding, most children had detailed factual knowledge of HIV and AIDS even though it was not apparent how such knowledge was translated into skills of life. Although some head teachers were aware of the HIV/AIDS education sector policy, relatively few teachers were conversant with its contents. The study concludes that national educational targets would be diffi cult to attain unless capacity development for teachers and school administrators was improved in the area of HIV/AIDS education and policy. There is a need to locate the OVC at the centre of child well-being strategies that are sensitive and responsive to their special circumstances.","PeriodicalId":356133,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international cooperation in education","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126834609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to introduce this notion and practice, a study that passes through five phases was conducted in three regions of Ethiopia: Addis Ababa, Amhara and Oromia involving eight primary schools. Phase one dealt with introducing the concept of peer and self-reflections in relation to enhancing active learning in primary schools. Thirty two professionals drawn from the three regions’ education bureaus, UNESCO, UNICEF and selected NGOs participated in the one day kickoff workshop organized to introduce peer assessment and selfreflections as a method for enhancing active learning in primary schools. The second phase covers developing a training manual on peer assessment and selfrefl ection for primary school teachers. The manual was prepared in English and translated into two local languages-Amharic and Afan Oromo. In the third phase a one day training of trainers was organized for four key teacher trainers from two teacher education institutes who organize and conduct the classroom observations in Adama, Bahir Dar and Gondar. The fourth phase of the project was organizing a training workshop for school teachers.The fi fth phase dealt with peer assessment and refl ections by observing the classes of teachers who participated in the training workshop while they are teaching. The result showed that peer assessment and self–refl ections were positively perceived by the teachers and school principals. The results further showed that peer assessment and self-reflections are useful strategies in enhancing active learning among students.","PeriodicalId":356133,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international cooperation in education","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123749580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tests in the three subjects were administered to 6,000 pupils in 100 primary schools. The results indicate the follows: low achievement in English and mathematics; greater achievement in urban schools, especially in English; better pupil performance in schools with teacher pupil ratios below 50 in standard 7; better pupil performance in classes with trained teachers; and better pupil performance in classes with textbooks in any ratio than those without textbooks. At the upper level, pupils at an appropriate age performed better than overage or underage pupils; boys consistently performed better than girls, although the differences were small; a pupil’s family socioeconomic status had a positive infl uence on achievement; and the mother’s education was also positively related to performance. The study concludes that basic education with rudimentary structures requires appropriate trained teacher pupil ratios to promote cognitive growth.","PeriodicalId":356133,"journal":{"name":"Journal of international cooperation in education","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125194533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
