Download or read book Effectiveness of School Leadership and Management Development in Cameroon written by Frederick Ebot Ashu and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers a number of key epistemological, ontological and methodological questions exploring the effectiveness of school leadership and management development training programmes for school leaders in a range of settings and for a range of people. Consideration is also given to practical concerns associated with this topic, such as the importance of management and Leadership Development programmes supporting school leaders to become effective leaders supporting school effectiveness. Effectiveness of School Leadership and Management Development in Cameroon addresses key methodological issues including the rationale for adopting a qualitative mixed-methodology research approach with elements of literature and documental analysis; surveys; ethical considerations and challenges with sampling techniques in considering the impact that school leaders in Cameroon have on researchers’ findings; and the production of knowledge. In addressing such topics, it answers important questions about how reliability can be ensured, how rigour can be safeguarded and what impact documental analysis and school leaders’ views have on the validity and interpretation of research findings. This book is the first of its kind to combine practical leadership theories in developing leadership development frameworks reflections with clearly presented recommendations about how the approach can be used. It will be invaluable to academics, practitioners and other agencies wishing to adopt participatory research methods which place school leaders and their schools at the centre of this research. This book is also an essential read for academics and students with an interest in qualitative mixed methodologies on leadership development of school leaders, and will become a key text for school leadership research methods courses, given its concern with practical leadership models as well as more complex leadership development theories.
Download or read book History of Education written by Yongho Nchih Nichodemus and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, however, the main purpose of education, whether formal or informal, has been to produce people who will be useful members of society. The type and level of education keep changing continuously with the needs of society. Hence, in the olden days when communities were small and largely rural and self-sufficient, the system of education, with few exceptions, was informal and non-illiterate. It is clear, therefore, that when we talk about the history of education we usually mean the evolution of the philosophies and institutions involved in the formal transmission of culture in various societies of the world from the earliest times to the present. In other words, a comprehensive study of the history of education would generally include a narrative of educational philosophies, aims, contents and purposes; curricula, public attitude and support; the teaching-learning process and methods applied; the preparation of professional personnel - teachers, administration specialists in various fields, and a full description of changes in educational organization and structure through time. The study of the history of education and of educational ideas enables students of education to know the origins of important educational developments and what is behind a national's educational principles and practices. In other words, it makes it possible for the student to understand the variant philosophies of education based on the actual practices which prevail, but in which theories are modified and adapted to suit national characteristics. The study of the history of education unquestionably throws some light on a nation's contemporary educational problems since there is hardly any new problems in education all problems being the outcome of past mistakes. History of education is a window on the soul of every nation. It stimulates the intellectual development of students exposed to it. It is important in the education of the African because it opens his eyes to the dangers and challenges of the African educational system. In particular, it exposes the colonial and post-independence African education for its hollowness and poorly articulated programmes which have failed to respond to the needs of contemporary Africa. The reasons for this failure, he gets to realize, are not far-fetched. The obvious omissions in the colonial curriculum of the past and the neo-colonial curriculum of the present, their de facto exclusions; the compromises for power, the normative void, the unreasonableness in rationality, all point to the need to reconsider African educational influences and to re-educate the old legitimacies. For, from the earliest colonial times to the present, African education has not demonstrated by ideas or acts, its commitment to Africa and the African environment.

This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the historical development of educational administration in Cameroon from the Traditional (indigenous) Education in the sixteen century, through the post-colonial eras (1960- Present) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to current concerns about the Cameroon educational system in the twenty-first century. It aims to showcase a chronological list of educational orders, education acts, policy acts, reports and other key educational development events in Cameroon. Similarly, while it deals with the educational administration and planning activities in Cameroon are presented according to the following thirteen major eras: indigenous traditional education; Indigenous Philosophies of African Education; the pre-colonial (1844-1884); the colonial (1884-1960/61); the German protectorate (1884-1914); The years of the first world war and peace settlement (1914-1922); French and British mandates (1922-191946); Education in French Cameroon Mandate (1916-1960); Education in British Cameroon Mandate (1914-1961); French and British Trusteeship (1946-1960/1961); the trusteeship in French Cameroon; the Trusteeship period in British Southern Cameroon; education in the federation period (1960-1972); education in the United Republic of Cameroon (1972-1984); education in the Republic of Cameroon (1984-2004); and the current state of education in Cameroon is given where it is relevant to the development of education administration generally. In addition to the thirteen main eras there's also useful information about the Cameroon Educational Context; a glossary of commonly used terminology to describe the Ideological Phenomena Influencing Structural Reforms in Cameroon Educational System. I hope will be especially useful for non-Cameroon readers; and a bibliography (which is a compilation of all the quoted sources listed at the end of this publication).
Download or read book State Building and Multilingual Education in Africa written by Ericka A. Albaugh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do governments in Africa make decisions about language? What does language have to do with state-building, and what impact might it have on democracy? This manuscript provides a longue durée explanation for policies toward language in Africa, taking the reader through colonial, independence, and contemporary periods. It explains the growing trend toward the use of multiple languages in education as a result of new opportunities and incentives. The opportunities incorporate ideational relationships with former colonizers as well as the work of language NGOs on the ground. The incentives relate to the current requirements of democratic institutions, and the strategies leaders devise to win elections within these constraints. By contrasting the environment faced by African leaders with that faced by European state-builders, it explains the weakness of education and limited spread of standard languages on the continent. The work combines constructivist understanding about changing preferences with realist insights about the strategies leaders employ to maintain power.

Download or read book A Brief History of Schooling in the United States written by Edward Janak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a sweeping overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of schooling in the United States. Beginning with education among the indigenous peoples of the Americas and going on to explore European models of schooling brought into the United States by European colonists, the author carefully traces the arc of educational reform through major episodes of the nation’s history. In doing so, Janak establishes links between schools, politics, and society to help readers understand the forces impacting educational policy from its earliest conception to the modern day. Chapters focus on the philosophical, political, and social concepts that shaped schooling of dominant and subcultures in the United States in each period. Far from being merely concerned with theoretical foundations, each chapter also presents a snapshot of the “nuts and bolts” of schooling during each period, examining issues such as pedagogical devices, physical plants, curricular decisions, and funding patterns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the relationships between the German colonial administration, the Basel Mission, the British Baptist Missionary Society and other missionary societies that characterized the setting up of Basel Mission education in Cameroon against the backdrop of intense rivalry. Spanning a period of 82 years, the book meticulously documents the kick off, expansion and elaboration of the Basel Mission’s efforts to institutionalise education as well as its objectives and operational modalities. Basel Mission Education in Cameroon deepens our understanding of European imperialism and its legacy in postcolonial societies. Policy makers and educationists in Cameroon and Africa at large will find this volume very instructive as they forge educational systems that serve the needs of current and future generations of Africans.
