Spriggs, J. Wayne. "Evaluating a spiritual formation curriculum for Ethiopian evangelical church leaders." Thesis, Nyack College, Alliance Theological Seminary, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3629075.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose for writing Evaluating a Spiritual Formation Curriculum for Ethiopian Evangelical Church Leaders is to explore the impact of the Sendafa spiritual formation seminar on the spiritual health of Ethiopian evangelical church leaders and assess the reproducibility of the principles.
This research is based on the theological framework that disciples of Jesus Christ are spiritually formed through knowing and abiding in Him, which was supported by the literature.
The research employed a mixed methodology that utilized a quantitative/qualitative instrument and follow-up interviews to verify the hypotheses of the study.
Results from the Spiritual Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) and the Spiritual Development Interviews (SDI) verified the study's two hypotheses. The results demonstrated improvement in the spiritual health of the participants in the sample pool of Ethiopian evangelical church leaders and evidence of either implementing the Sendafa formation principles in others or reproducing the Sendafa formation curriculum for others.
Further study should include equipping for life change, the practice of mentoring, and leadership development. It is recommended that future efforts be developed by nationals with only assistance from outsiders. Additionally, the production of a booklet covering the Sendafa formation principles is recommended for distribution among the churches of Ethiopia.

The general hypotheses is that the Institute for European Defence and Strategic Studies (IEDSS) was not an impartial independent think tank, but that it was part of large scale US public diplomacy and propaganda strategies to influence UK domestic politics, funded by the Central Intelligence Agency and a small group of foundations. This is identified through a focus on think tanks and organisations that aimed to extend the Cold War and, at its close, to further the interests of US capital with the expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe aided by organisations such as the National Endowment for Democracy. The IEDSS' 'Atlanticist' dimension, including its connections to the Heritage Foundation, reveal it as integrated with other US, UK and European covert networks as part of a 'cultural apparatus which stemmed from post-war projections of US power into Europe, and included organisation such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom or Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. In the late 1970s this extended into a network of UK think tanks modelled on and shaped by the Heritage Foundation, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and state intelligence agencies and their proxies. The thesis also identifies the IEDSS as a gathering of actors involved in an ideologically driven sub-culture that influenced the Reagan and Thatcher governments that gathered together other quasi-official anti-left groups such as the Information Research Department and parapolitical organisations typified by the Institute for the Study of Conflict and other organisations run by Brian Crozier, a key actor in this story.

Full textAbstract:
In the past decade, Ethiopia has seen unprecedented economic growth as a result of its efforts to eradicate poverty through sustainable development. Ethiopia's recent construction of the 6,000 MW Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam along the Blue Nile, a major tributary to the transboundary Nile River, supports these efforts. Despite objections from Ethiopia's downstream riparian, Egypt, construction has continued, indicating that as Ethiopia establishes itself as a rising power in the Horn of Africa, Egyptian hegemony will be increasingly challenged. Ethiopia's quest for energy sufficiency to support its development is disrupting the region's historic balance of power as well as relations among the Nile Basin countries. In particular, relations between Ethiopia and Egypt have become increasingly complex. This thesis will argue that the shifting balance of power has provided for the development of a gesellschaft society that will continue to support regional stability.

Bibliography: leaves 84-88.Africa was not a white man's grave just because it killed people, it was a white man's grave because it threatened to destroy the crops and animals that were the basis of the settlers' survival. Thus in 1891 the first research institute of its kind in Southern Africa if not in Africa was established in South Africa to deal with this threat. Its life span of fourteen years was accompanied by both personal and institutional achievement. Although still within the original aim of research, there was pursuit of 'breakthrough glory' that led to blunders and, in part, to the downfall of the man and the closure of the institute. The Colonial Bacteriological Institute (CBI) sometimes known as the Colonial Institute was the first bacteriological research laboratory set up in the Cape Colony to investigate human and stock diseases. This dissertation seeks to examine the history of that institute, from its beginning in 1891 to its closure in 1905.

Full textAbstract:
Diaspora communities are becoming an essential part of socioeconomic and political developments of their homeland countries. The problem addressed by this study is that after ethnic federalism was implemented in Ethiopia, the Ethiopian diaspora in the US is divided along ethnic lines, causing human resource management and law enforcement challenges within the communities in the host country. The purpose of this study was to describe the impacts of Ethiopia's ethnic-based federalism on its diaspora residing in a US metropolitan area. The theoretical framework was based on Teshome and ZáhoÅ?Ãk's theory of ethnic federalism and Safran's theory of diaspora. The key research question examined how ethnic-based federalism in Ethiopia affects perceptions of members of the Ethiopian diaspora in the US. This qualitative ethnographic study included interviews with 15 members of the Ethiopian diaspora community residing in the Washington, DC metro area. The data were thematically coded and analyzed with the help of qualitative data analysis software. Findings revealed that the Ethiopian diaspora in the US is constantly involving in its homeland affairs, although in a fragmented and dis-unified manner. Ethnic-based federalism is not only divisive but also serving as the main source for ethnic bias among the Ethiopian diaspora. Ethnic resentment has surfaced and created a we versus them mentality in every aspect of diaspora's life activities. Recommendations include the Ethiopian government establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and identifying a better form of federalism for the country. The implications for positive social change include integrating voices of the Ethiopian diaspora community in the policy making processes of the home and host governments.

Full textAbstract:
This project is the first to investigate the way in which Ethiopians view the Rastafari, a post-colonial religious faith. Since originating in Jamaica in the 1930s, Rastafari have moved to the East African country to settle, viewing the country as the Promised Land. Given this centrality of Ethiopia to Rastafari, my dissertation documents the perception of Rastafari and Rastafarians within Ethiopia and the role these immigrants play within Ethiopian society. The methodology used is that of thick description—making an attempt to engage with as many different narratives about the Rastafari as possible. Thick description allows for an understanding of what is happening as regards the interaction between Rastafari and Ethiopians, but also provides a sense of context and meaning. After extensive interviewing in the Ethiopian cities of Shashemene and Addis Ababa, a comprehensive review of Ethiopian media coverage as well as analyses of academic, religious and government documents, the multiplicity of perspectives found demonstrated a view of a unique immigrant community, as well as a multifaceted view of Ethiopia and Ethiopianness. I draw from the many narratives about the Rastafari a sense of what these narratives can inform relative to Ethiopian identity itself. Unlike traditional development workers who stay on average two years, Rastafari wish to settle in Ethiopia. The challenge, therefore, to Ethiopians is to find a way to legally recognize these immigrants within the already complex historical and social spectrum of Ethiopian identity. The Rastafarian desire for citizenship and involvement in Ethiopian society challenges the idea of what it means to be Ethiopian and simultaneously demands that Ethiopian and Rastafarian identity re-evaluate its sense of self. As the Rastafari involve themselves more fully in Ethiopia, through the establishment of both humanitarian and business initiatives, and engage wCe projet est le premier à explorer la manière dont les Éthiopiens voient le Rastafari, une croyance religieuse post-coloniale. Depuis leur début en Jamaïque au courant des années 1930, les Rastafaris ont déménagé pour s'établir dans le pays d'Afrique de l'Est, le voyant comme la terre promise. Due en partie au rôle central que détient l'Éthiopie au sein de la religion Rastafari, ma dissertation documente la perception du Rastafari et des Rastafariens à l'intérieur de l'Éthiopie et le rôle que joue ces immigrants dans la société éthiopienne. La méthodolie utilisée est celle de « description dense »—tentant d'engager avec autant de récits sur le Rastafari que possible. La méthode de description épaisse permet à la fois une compréhension de l'interaction entre les Rastafariens et les Éthiopiens, tout en fournissant un contexte et un sens. À travers de nombreuses entrevues dans les villes éthiopiennes de Shashamene et d'Addis Abeba, une critique compréhensive de la couverture médiatique de l'Éthiopie, ainsi qu'une analyse de documents académiques, religieux et politiques, la multiplicité des perspectives retrouvées présentent un regard unique sur la communauté immigrante, ainsi qu'un point de vue varié sur l'Éthiopie et l'éthiopicité. De plusieurs récits sur les Rastafariens, je retire un sens de ce que ces récits peuvent dire sur l'identité éthiopienne comme telle. Les Rastafariens diffèrent des traveilleurs en développement international puisque ceux-ci ne restent qu'en moyenne deux ans, alors que les Rastafariens eux, désirent s'établir de façon permanent en Éthiopie. Par conséquent, le défi qui se présente pour les Éthiopiens est de trouver une manière de reconnaître légalement ces immigrants à l'intérieur de la complexité historique et sociale de l'identité éthiopienne.

Meres, Sereke-Berhan. "Ethiopian and Eritrean Businesses Growth Barriers in the Washington, DC Area." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2613.
Full textAbstract:
Prior studies have revealed that recent Asian and Hispanic immigrant entrepreneurs have made significant contributions to social change in the United States. Although African immigrant entrepreneurs have made such contributions, few studies exist about them, and there is limited knowledge about this business community. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to identify the barriers of growth in Ethiopian and Eritrean immigrant-owned firms in the Washington, DC area who were in business for a minimum of 3 years and represented various trade lines and geographical locations. The enhanced integrated model of ethnic business development, which proposes growth strategies by analyzing the interaction of opportunity structures, ethnic resources, and entrepreneurial and management skills, was used as the conceptual framework to guide this study. Semistructured interview data were gathered from the business owners and then analyzed by employing a pattern matching technique. The data analysis revealed the themes of management deficiencies and the lack of organizational support system as the main growth barriers of the firms studied. These findings suggested the improvement of management skills and the creation of an organizational support system. This effort demands a collaboration of public, private, and community organizations. The results of this study may have positive social change implications to local economies by facilitating the growth of immigrant-owned businesses and enhancing their job and income-creating potential.

For my PhD thesis, I conducted behavioral science research and wrote three first- author journal format papers, of which one paper has been published and the other two will be submitted to healthcare management journals after completion of my degree. All three papers introduce new information about either the cost or the behaviors of patients in local clinics, filling a gap in the healthcare system's management and policy literature. The first paper studies patients with diabetes who are non-adherent to scheduled appointments with physicians in a specialized diabetes clinic setting in Boston. I developed and introduced new and interesting ''technology comfort" measures and a "Smartphone usage" scale, to evaluate if patients would be able to use smart technologies for their disease self-management. This paper not only suggests that patients with diabetes could potentially benefit from using existing advanced technologies, but that new policies can be introduced to reduce the rate of diabetes patients' appointment-related non-adherence. The second paper examines the system of adherence or self-management in five areas ( diet, exercise, medications, doctor's appointments and regular glucose monitoring), revealing how it is correlated to emergency visits and patient lifestyle satisfaction. I analyze predictors of emergency room visits and propose potential policies to reduce these ER visits through the use of advanced smart technologies. The third paper identifies the incidence and consequences of not practicing non- pharmaceutical interventions, during the time of a pandemic, in a student population at a local university clinic.

Full textAbstract:
Digital media are moldable spaces where an image is simultaneously a thought. This instance and flexibility enables digital existences to be malleable, transformative, situational, and unstable. They are plastic images. Video games generate digital bodies that are a fusion of subjectivities and cybernetic simulations, in a perceivable and ambiguous process. Such bodies are extensions of ourselves, being girlish, imperfect, unfinished and happening—digesting and emitting clusters of feelings, regardless of our biological gender and age. The performative experience of play is progressively departing from spectacle, gambling and competition, and increasingly shifting towards an emotional journey of alternate realities, spreading subjectivities into the visible and invisible areas of screens. Such experience, and our plastic identities that reside within, marks a collaborative attempt between designers and audience to establish a new protocol of liquid perspectives functioning within and beyond digital space. Digital plasticity itself is a practice, as well as an inextricable process of understanding and deploying identities in the contemporary media-saturated pluralistic environment.

China's rapid economic growth -- largely industrial, energy-intensive, and reliant on coal -- has generated environmental, public health, and governance challenges. While China now leads the world in renewable energy deployment, curtailment (waste) of wind and solar is high and increasing, generating much discussion on the relative contributions of technical inflexibilities and incomplete institutional reforms on integration outcomes. These integration challenges directly affect China's ability to meet long-term environmental and economic objectives. A second, related challenge emerges from how wind integration interacts with China's reinvigoration in 2015 of a three-decade-old process to establish competitive electricity markets. A "standard liberalization prescription" for electricity markets exists internationally, though Chinese policy-makers ignore or under-emphasize many of its elements in current reforms, and some scholars question its general viability in emerging economies. This dissertation examines these interrelated phenomena by analyzing the contributions of diverse causes of wind curtailment, assessing whether current experiments will lead to efficient and politically viable electricity markets, and offering prescriptions on when and how to use markets to address renewable energy integration challenges. To examine fundamentals of the technical system and the impacts of institutional incentives on system outcomes, this dissertation develops a multi-method approach that iterates between engineering models and qualitative case studies of the system operation decision-making process (Chapter 2). These are necessary to capture, respectively, production functions inclusive of physical constraints and costs, and incentive structures of formally specified as well as de facto institutions. Interviews conducted over 2013-2016 with key stakeholders in four case provinces/regions with significant wind development inform tracing of the processes of grid and market operations (Chapter 3). A mixed-integer unit commitment and economic dispatch optimization is formulated and, based on the case studies, further tailored by adding several institutions of China's partially-liberalized system (Chapter 4). The model generates a reference picture of three of the systems as well as quantitative contributions of relevant institutions (Chapter 5). Insights from qualitative and quantitative approaches are combined iteratively for more parsimonious findings (Chapter 6). This dissertation disentangles the causes of curtailment, focusing on the directional and relative contributions of institutions, technical issues, and potential interactive effects. Wind curtailment is found to be closely tied to engineering constraints, such as must-run combined heat and power (CHP) in northern winters. However, institutional causes -- inflexibilities in both scheduling and inter-provincial trading -- have a larger impact on curtailment rates. Technical parameters that are currently set administratively at the provincial level (e.g., coal generator minimum outputs) are a third and important leading cause under certain conditions. To assess the impact of China's broader reform of the electricity system on wind curtailment, this dissertation examines in detail "marketizing" experiments. In principle, spot markets for electricity naturally prioritize wind, with near zero marginal cost, thereby contributing to low curtailment. However, China has not yet created a spot market and this dissertation finds that its implementation of other electricity markets in practice operates far from ideal. Market designs follow a similar pattern of relying on dual-track prices and out-of-market parameters, which, in the case of electricity, leave several key institutional causes of inefficiency and curtailment untouched. Compared to other sectors with successful marketization occurring when markets "grow out of the plan," all of the major electricity experiments examined show deficiencies in their ability to transition to an efficient market and to cost-effectively integrate wind energy. Although China's setting is institutionally very different, results support implementation of many elements of standard electricity market prescriptions: prioritize regional (inter-provincial) markets, eliminate conflicts of interest in dispatch, and create a consistent central policy on "transition costs" of reducing central planning. Important for China, though overlooked in standard prescriptions: markets are enhanced by clarifying the connection between dispatch and exchange settlement. As is well established, power system efficiency is expected to achieve greatest gains with a short-term merit order dispatch and primarily financial market instruments, though some workable near-term deviations for the Chinese context are proposed. Ambiguous property rights related to generation plans have helped accelerate reforms, but also delay more effective markets from evolving. China shares similarities with the large class of emerging economies undergoing electricity market restructuring, for which this suggests research efforts should disaggregate planning from scheduling institutions, analyze the range of legacy sub-national trade barriers, and prioritize finding "second-best" liberalization options fit to country context in the form and order of institutional reforms.

Full textAbstract:
Focussing on the 'long 1970s' (1968-1980), this thesis offers a new account of the emergence of performance forms, including Happenings, participatory art, performance art, and performances for the camera, in visual art and related contexts at the ICA. The research is driven by two central aims: firstly, to create space for discourse about women artists and feminist concerns in art in the UK, and secondly, to build a feminist methodology and historiography that allows for a re-thinking of performance events and approaches to interpreting them. My research involves methods drawn from performance studies, history of art and visual studies, cultural history, and feminist theory. Chapters are organised around works by important UK-based artists including Carlyle Reedy, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Cosey Fanni Tutti, and David Medalla, as well as international visitors Carolee Schneemann and Charlotte Moorman. Initially focussing on historical 'recovery' of performances by women artists in order to challenge received or dominant histories of performance, I then shift over the course of the thesis towards reflecting on feminist implications and effects of my historiographical approach. Here the ICA functions as an organising principle rather than a central subject, and so while research begins with the ICA Collection held at Tate Archive, the scope of the study is also broadened to include other sites and archival repositories. As a methodological counterpoint to this, I also question and critique the limits of institutional and archival representation, and conduct interviews with artists and arts professionals. Considered through the lens of each case study, I argue that the 1970s, as a period which saw new performance forms emerge dialogically alongside feminist practice, is a rich area of research for thinking about pre-histories of live art in the UK, as well as questions of identity, identification, and diversity which resonate into the present.

Cultural policy could be regarded as how the government treats culture and the arts; most of totalitarian or authoritarian states treat it as a tool to serve politics, but modern democratic states do as fundamental right to the people under steady political and economic development. Nevertheless, the cultural affairs usually aren’t the priorities to the governments. With the changes of society and politics how a state deals and makes its characteristic cultural policy is worth paying close attention. From laissez-faire, passive administration, commodification to centralization, the shaping British cultural policy reflects the process of shift in administration and policy because of the times and circumstances. It could sets a good example or mirror to our cultural policy by the view of policy learning that may provide some aspects for the further plans and schemes. By the major approach of historical analysis, it helps to explore what were the issues and the background of British cultural policy and how it is now. The auxiliary approach of comparative study makes this thesis describes and research how other governments dealing with relative affairs and helps discover projects or learn their experiences. This thesis presents how the contemporary British cultural policy develops: Chapter 1 introduces the research motives and topic; Chapter 2 generally describes the cultural policies and their administration of the main western countries for the climate of reorganizing or setting cultural department, in the macroscopic point of view to sketch their models and characters; Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 deeply explore and discuss the development of British cultural policy and the key points of different periods, especially the transferring institutes of cultural administration that presents not only the shifts of the state involved in cultural affairs are obvious but the altering process of power, and the 1979 is the time point; Chapter 5 discusses how the Taiwan’s cultural policy was made and changed, and evaluates the character of Britain and Taiwan; Chapter 6 is the conclusion. The finding of the thesis focuses on the British experience in the shifts of arm’s-length principle, the membership, resource and power of policy area, the organization, function, finance, ideology, policy-making and the suggestions to Taiwan.

The aim of this study was to investigate the inclusion of visually-impaired learners in Ethiopian secondary schools. To conduct the study a mixed methods research multiple case study research design was used.
The study was conducted in two secondary schools of the capital city of Tigray Regional State of Ethiopia. In the selection of the schools and research participants, a purposive sampling method was employed. The data were collected from 2 school principals, 35 teachers and 24 learners of grade 9 and 10. To collect the data, interviews (for principals and teachers), focus group discussions (for learners), observation, and questionnaires (for teachers), were used. The primary data for this research were the data gathered from interviews, focus group discussion and observation whereas the data gathered from the questionnaire were used to compare, triangulate and supplement. Data by the instruments were analysed under different themes using a constructivist/interpretive approach.
The findings of the study revealed that the nature of school inclusivity regarding visually-impaired learners in Tigray Secondary Schools of Ethiopia is poor and visually-impaired learners are excluded. As a result, the exclusive nature of the schools is affecting the implementation and actualisation of inclusive education.
Based on the findings, the study calls schools, communities, governmental and non-governmental organisations to take action for the implementation and realisation of inclusive education and the inclusion of all learners, such as visually-impaired learners.Inclusive Education

The aim of this research was to examine determinants of service learning in Ethiopian
Universities with a view to suggesting remedial solutions. Qualitative case study was
employed to understand management of service learning in the purposively selected
three case Universities. Data were collected from interns, mentors, department heads,
Academic Vice Presidents, service learning office heads and agency supervisors
through semi-structured interviews. Besides, focus group discussion with interns and
document review were conducted. Collected data were analysed through narration.
Service learning is used for pedagogical necessities, personal and civic development,
career development and social responsibility in the Ethiopian Universities. However, its
application is challenged by several factors. Product curricular model, low time ration for
community service, limited teachers' involvement and discipline-based curriculum
framework were identified as major hindrances to service learning implementation. As a
result, most students and teachers were not committed to service learning. For
instance, in government Universities, service learning offices were not well-organised.
Partnership agreements were either weak or not in place, as a result, the majority of
interns were placed based on their preferences. Resistance not to host was also found
to be a common factor. An interesting finding of this study is that privileging interns for
self-identification of hosting organisations resulted in dispersed and individualised
placement that caused interns to develop feeling of strangeness and insecurity.
Moreover, this placement hindered collaborative learning with their peers. Assessment
error, absence of service learning programme evaluation and shortage of budget were
common problems. Hence, the following suggestions along with a proposed strategy
are recommended.
Considering these challenges, the following recommendations are made. Service
learning should be applied in a wider scale from junior through senior courses in the
Universities. The curriculum should be designed to include extensive context-based and
interdisciplinary-learning approaches. Government Universities should strengthen
service learning offices. Placement of interns should mainly be based on partnership
agreement. Time ration for community services and research functions should be
increased to at least 50%. And lastly, Universities should closely support agency
supervisors and arrange evaluation forums and celebrity events.Educational Management and Leadership

The ethnic group of Hakka has remained its uniqueness in the aspects of their language, house, costume, folk customs, religious belief and habitual behaviors. The development process of these aspects is dynamic and continuous. In fact, the reclamation of Nanlong Tribe was guided by the Japanese, who led the Hakkas of Northern Taiwan, the Fukienese living in Gangshan, Tianliao and Cishan, as well as the local Hakkas of Meinong to take part in the reclamation. The interaction among different ethnic groups in the process of reclamation is worthy of making in-depth investigation. The research approaches of the paper include participant observation, interview and ethnographic studies. The paper further uses the spirit of constructivism to avoid any misunderstanding caused by different cultural backgrounds, hoping to employ an objective spirit to investigate the development process of Nanlong Tribe. The conclusions of the study are: 1. Nanlong Tribe is situated at a piece of gravel land, and flooding always occurs along Loanong River. Hence, the Japanese paid a lot of time and energy in the reclamation work, including the cadastral survey, forestry survey, construction of Jhuzimen Power Plant, and the flood prevention and control projects. 2. From the Japanese colonial period, the ruling period of Kuomintang to the present, the economic crops, including the sugar cane, rice, cigarette, banana, miscellaneous crops, etc. need more concerns and assistance from the government all through the period from their prosperity, decline to the existing transition. 3. The essence of the Hakka culture presented in the actual Hakka life, including the ways that the Hakkas respect the earth and heaven, worship their ancestors and previous generations, and defend the natural landscape of their hometowns, should be developed extensively. 4. The intermarriage among ethnic groups, the serious failure of handing down the mother language to the next generation and the remedial solutions, as well as the education and fostering of the next generation are the main problems to be solved urgently. The research results of this study can generally meet the objectives of the study, but there are still some unsatisfactory places. Thus, the study makes some suggestions: 1. The Hakkas should strengthen the proficiency of their dialect to help understand the quintessence of their tribe. 2. The time of actual participation in local life should be lengthened. 3. The researchers of this area should cultivate their reading ability of Japanese language to achieve further breakthrough in the acquisition of historical materials.

Ethics is a spontaneous behavior that maintains the social order. Today, there is fierce competition in the technical research and development. Ethics is an invisible line that defends benign and right cultures besides the social order in the competitive environment. Professional ethics thus plays an important role to eliminate blind competition, do good to the R&D activities, and benefits the humanity. It can prevent the R&D activities from harming humanity. An industrial-academic stage begins after a school obtains preliminary results in a technology R&D project. At this stage, the school entrusts a manufacturer to manufacture the equipment or device of the project. Filing patent applications to protect the invention as soon as the R&D bears fruit not only contributes to the progress in relevant science and technology, but also inspires and encourages the school and the R&D team. The technical laws provide protection for patented inventions. For example, the Patent Law provides patent rights which exclude others from unauthorized use of the patents. Pursuit of self-interest is a very common behavior in the school, R&D team members and manufacturers that participate in the project. When such behavior violates laws and does not comply with professional ethics, disputes arise. The thesis aims to thoroughly discuss the professional ethics that should be complied with by the people who attends the R&D project from the views of technical laws, industrial-academic cooperation and relevant regulations. The thesis further aims to provide analysis as to whether the patent filing policies of the schools meet the needs of the industry from an observation of the amounts of invention and utility patent applications. The thesis further aims to know about experts’ thoughts of the school’s policies in patent filing. With the results of analysis and experts’ opinions, the thesis provides comments to the patent filing policies of the schools.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate and improve reflective teaching in the Ethiopian Secondary School Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs). This study used a mixed methods research approach that employed a concurrent triangulation design. For data collection, the study utilized a structured questionnaire, a semi-structured individual and group interviews. The data collection instruments were utilized to solicit pre-service teachers’, teacher educators’, and cooperating teachers’ (mentors’) views on reflections and how reflective teaching in the pre-service teacher secondary school teacher education framework is being implemented. The study particularly aimed to investigate how the pre-service teachers view reflective teaching, identify the hindrances for effective reflective teaching practice, and discover strategies that could be used to improve the practice. Prominent reflective scholars’ theories and outlooks on reflective practice were reviewed and used to guide the study.
The responses of the stakeholders on the nature and implementation of reflective practices were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. For the quantitative data analyses, both the descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were employed. On the other hand, narration was used to analyze the qualitative data. Triangulation of the study was observed by presenting and interpreting the qualitative data with reference of the quantitative data. The research questions were answered as the researcher analyzed the responses that the pre-service teachers hold to the reflective teaching, as well as the method, situation and issues of the reflective teaching practice in the pre- service teacher education curriculum framework.
The study uncovered that secondary schools’ pre-service teachers in the existing teacher education programme were practicing few reflective teaching tools. The findings indicated that the pre-service teachers hold fair insights of reflective teaching, yet they felt less capable of doing reflective teaching critically. The findings indicated that the pre-service teacher education programme faced a number of barriers to effective reflective teaching practice. The findings also raised concerns over writing journals, instructional technology, teaching portfolios, and action research projects for reflective teaching in the pre-service teacher education programme. The study has identified key strategies that may be useful for the Ministry of Education, teacher educators, cooperating teachers, and teacher education institutions who are responsive for reflective teachers in Ethiopia.Maikemišetšo a thuto ye e be e le go nyakišiša le go hlabolla thuto ya taetšo go Dihlongwa tša Thuto ya Borutiši Dikolong tša Ethiopia (TEI).

Die doel van hierdie studie was om besinnende onderrig aan Ethiopiese opleidingsinstellings vir hoërskoolonderwysers te ondersoek en te verbeter. Verskeie metodes en ‘n triangulasieontwerp is in hierdie studie gevolg. Data is deur middel van ‘n gestruktureerde vraelys en halfgestruktureerde individuele en groeponderhoude ingesamel. Studenteonderwysers, onderwyseropvoeders en medewerker-onderwysers (mentors) se siening van hoe besinnende onderrig in die raamwerk van hoërskoolonderwysers se opleiding neerslag vind, is verkry. Daar is in die besonder op studenteonderwysers se opvattings oor besinnende onderrig gekonsentreer. Struikelblokke in die weg van doeltreffende besinnende onderrigpraktyk en strategieë om dit uit die weg te ruim, is aangetoon. Die teorieë en gesigspunte van vooraanstaande kenners van besinnende onderrigpraktyk is bestudeer, en het rigting aan hierdie studie verleen. Belanghebbers se reaksie op die aard en inwerkingstelling van besinnende praktyke is kwantitatief en kwalitatief ontleed. Sowel die beskrywende as die afgeleide statistiek is in die ontleding van die kwantitatiewe data gebruik. Die kwalitatiewe data, daarteenoor, is met behulp van vertellings ontleed. Die kwalitatiewe data is met verwysing na die kwantitatiewe data vertolk te einde reg te laat geskied aan die triangulasie van die studie. Die navorsingsvrae is beantwoord namate die navorser die reaksie van studenteonderwysers op besinnende onderwys ontleed het asook die metode en situasie daarvan, en die probleme daarmee in die kurrikulum van studenteonderwysers. Daar is bevind dat weinig studente wat as hoërskoolonderwysers opgelei word, die tegnieke van besinnende onderwys toepas. Volgens die bevindings weet studente wel van besinnende onderwys, maar voel dat hulle nie tot kritiese besinnende onderwys in staat is nie. Daar was ʼn hele paar struikelblokke in die onderwysersopleidingprogram vir besinnende onderwyspraktyk. Die bevindings is kommerwekkend wat betref die skryf van joernale, onderrigtegnologie, onderwysportefeuljes en aksienavorsingsprojekte vir doeltreffende onderwys in die onderwysersopleidingsprogram. Verskeie strategieë is aangetoon wat van nut kan wees vir die ministerie van Onderwys, die opleiers van onderwysers, medewerker-onderwysers en instellings wat onderwysers oplei om sensitiewe, besinnende onderwysers in Ethiopië te word.

Master Sheng Yen (1930-2009) was a well-known contemporary leader of Buddhist education. Founding Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies in1985(formerly Institute of the Chinese Buddhist Academy, affiliated with Chinese Culture Institute (today's Chinese Culture University), he vigorously guided the institute beyond the traditional rigid style of education, helping it achieve academic quality exceeding general departments of universities. However, with the success of the model of Buddhist education, we need to explore three aspects of Master Sheng Yen to see how he created Taiwan's first institution of higher Buddhist education based on Chinese culture and extended it to the world: 1. In a difficult educational environment, he introduced from foreign lands new education systems, teaching methods, academic achievement and "modernity" of the research culture of learning, gradually forming an unique educational philosophy. We look at three points in order to examine the formation of his educational philosophy. Furthermore, we will discuss the three stages of the foundation of the institute and its characteristics. 2. We will discuss how Master Sheng Yen realized and implemented his educational philosophy into the school in order to go beyond the general religious studies institute; we will also compare the school’s characteristics with The Chinese Inner Studies Institute in the early Republican period. 3. The institute is the core of the development of education of Dharma Drum Mountain, which after the transformation also affected the subsequent development of the entire education system, so it is necessary to further explore this. Based on the above three points, Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies created by Master Sheng Yen with a few years of thorough efforts has already made some achievements and still serves as an original academic research institution to keep promoting Chinese Buddhism. Key words: Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies, Master Sheng-yen, Dharma Drum Buddhist College, Dharma Drum Mountain, The Chinese Inner Studies Institute
