Book excerpt: Scholarly Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: B, course: Seminar Presenation of Education Trends in Kenya, language: English, comment: This is a presentation made during a seminar held at Nakuru Elite Educational Center and presented during a primary school teachers two day seminar in may 2013, abstract: Who is a teacher in Kenya? What is it like being a teacher in Kenya and what about the history of Teacher Education in Kenya? Teacher and Teacher Education in Kenya forms a very important an essential component of the Kenyan education system. It clearly accounts for the current and future face of the Kenyan child and to sum it all, it influences all aspects of Kenya education, Kenyan developments in morality and even beyond. Just like many countries in Africa, Kenya is a country with diverse ethnicity and ethnic setups with many tribes living with different social cultural upbringing and beliefs and indoctrinations. In Kenya, the teacher and Teacher Education is more often than not influenced by many social, ethnical, political, economic and level technological developments depending on the level of exposure of a particular ethnic group or tribe to the western ideologies and as per what the Kenyan society has undergone. In this paper, I examine and report the emerging issues of Teacher Education in Kenya as influenced by ethnic diversity in relation to the western technological developments. A report on its implications is therefore made here on emerging issues to education, teacher and teacher related developments in this Kenya.

Download or read book With the Best of Intentions written by Kari Kragh Blume Dahl and published by Samfundslitteratur. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher training institutions are not just places with buildings, classrooms, tutors, textbooks, lesson plans, and exams. They are also spaces for growing up to become somebody and someone-a space where future teachers are shaped in complex local moral worlds. Author Kari Dahl provides a unique and rare look inside the reality of teacher education and schooling in Kenya today. Relying on the author's extensive immersion into the world of teacher training institutions, readers will become familiar with the complex array of concerns that condition the spaces for teachers in training, and thus shape what professional identity means in a stratified and diverse culture. Drawing on a rich conceptual and theoretical vocabulary, readers will begin to understand how students in these teacher training colleges constantly negotiate and confront the complex constructions of ethnicity, gender, and class, as well as moral, religious, academic, and resource deprivation issues in different institutional cultures. The stories of five young men and women on their way through college reveal their personal hopes, ambitions, and struggles in becoming teachers. Readers are given a look inside the authoritarian and bureaucratic Lexington teacher training college, the poor but accountable Wummit teacher training college, and the run-down private teacher college called Global where students are kings in poor surroundings. This story of the process of growing up and becoming an education professional in an African setting will appeal to readers interested in education, schooling, and international development. It will interest researchers, educational planners, teachers, and students in the fields of teacher education, professional studies and international educational studies within social psychology, social anthropology, ethnography, and microsociology.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essential for already practicing teachers, teachers on training and educational policy planners.The content was thoroughly researched and the findings corroborates that of other studies.Teacher in service training must be given a priority by any government if they are to achieve their educational goals.Teachers require constant support especially during curriculum implementation to enable them cope and manage the changes. Kenyan education system has been undergoing changes, from the 7-6-3 system after independence to 8-4-4 and now the proposed system to start in year 2012 of 2-6-6-3. All this drastic changes when the country is only 48 years old after Independence requires that educational policy makers and planners take in service education for teachers more seriously if the country is to achieve its educational goals.This book gives an insight on the challenges facing teachers during curriculum implementations and possible solutions as well as recommendations for policy makers in the education sector.

Download or read book Africa s Future Africa s Challenge written by Marito H. Garcia and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-01-18 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early childhood, from birth through school entry, was largely invisible worldwide as a policy concern for much of the twentieth century. Children, in the eyes of most countries, were 'appendages' of their parents or simply embedded in the larger family structure. The child did not emerge as a separate social entity until school age (typically six or seven). 'Africa's Future, Africa's Challenge: Early Childhood Care and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa' focuses on the 130 million children south of the Sahel in this 0-6 age group. This book, the first of its kind, presents a balanced collection of articles written by African and non-African authors ranging from field practitioners to academicians and from members of government organizations to those of nongovernmental and local organizations. 'Africa's Future, Africa's Challenge' compiles the latest data and viewpoints on the state of Sub-Saharan Africa's children. Topics covered include the rationale for investing in young children, policy trends in early childhood development (ECD), historical perspectives of ECD in Sub-Saharan Africa including indigenous approaches, new threats from HIV/AIDS, and the importance of fathers in children's lives. The book also addresses policy development and ECD implementation issues; presents the ECD programming experience in several countries, highlighting best practices and challenges; and evaluates the impact of ECD programs in a number of countries.

Download or read book High Speed Semiconductor Physics Theoretical Approaches and Device Physics written by Cliff Orori Mosiori and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid state physics is a fascinating sub-genre of condensed matter physics - though some graduate students consider it a very boring and tedious subject area in Physics and others even call it a “squalid state”. Topics covered in this book are built on standard solid state physics references available in most online libraries or in other books on solid state physics. The complexity of high speed semiconductor physics and related devices arose from condensed solid state matter. The content covered in this book gives a deep coverage on some topics or sections that may be covered only superficially in other literature. Therefore, these topics are likely to differ a great deal from what is deemed important elsewhere in other books or available literature. There are many extremely good books on solid-state physics and condensed matter physics but very few of these books are restricted to high speed semiconductor physic though. Chapter one covers the general semiconductor qualities that make high speed semiconductor devices effect and includes the theory of crystals, diffusion and ist mechanisms, while chapter two covers solid state materials, material processing for high speed semiconductor devices and an introduction to quantum theory for materials in relation to density of states of the radiation for a black body and ist radiation properties. Chapter three discuss high speed semiconductor energy band theory, energy bands in general solid semiconductor materials, the Debye model, the Einstein model the Debye model and semiconductor transport carriers in 3D semiconductors while chapter four discuss effect of external force on current flow based on the concept of holes valence band, and lattice scattering in high speed devices. Chapter five briefly describes solid state thermoelectric fundamentals, thermoelectric material and thermoelectric theory of solids in lattice and phonons while chapter six scattering in high field effect in semiconductors in inter-valley electron scattering and the associated Fermi Dirac statistics and Maxwell-Boltzmann approximation on their carrier concentration variation with energy in extrinsic doping chapter seven covers p-n junction diodes, varactor diode, pin diode Schottky diode and their transient response of diode in multi-valley semiconductors. Chapter eight discusses high speed metal semiconductor field effect transistors.
Download or read book Popular Education Power and Democracy written by Ann-Marie Laginder and published by Niace. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular education, a distinctive Swedish tradition of lifelong learning, has always concerned itself with the relationship between learning, power, and democracy in society, rather than having a purely individualistic and instrumental approach to learning for employability, which has dominated policy and practice. Through the themes of power and democracy, this book examines popular education's contribution to enhancing people's lives in communities. It reflects on the wider significance and explores the impact on the political culture of the state and the cultural politics of society within and outside Sweden, including the US, Japan, Canada, and Tanzania. As a comprehensive and unique collection, the book balances historical reflection, contemporary issues, and the international impact of popular education, combining theoretical analysis and empirical data. *** ...this book provides a wonderful introduction to the historical development and some of the current aspects and examples of Swedish popular education, both in Sweden and beyond....Its various chapters show the continued relevance of popular education approaches to addressing major educational and social issues and their diversity and rich theoretical grounding provide enough stimuli to engage educators and practitioners alike....a key resource in the worldwide struggles for social justice by demonstrating how education can be both (a) a tool for social change as well as for personal transformation and (b) how insights gained from others' actions and struggles can be used by people the world over. -- Tom Nesbit, Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education, in the European Journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults, 2013
