Abstract:

Doctor Educationis<br>Without neglecting the broader scope of the phenomenon of student access, this study focuses mainly on student academic access. An Access Programme, initiated by the University of Namibia, is used as a case study in order to gain a contextual understanding of such programmes, and to identify and critically analyse both those factors which contribute to its success and those which hinder it. Theoretical perspectives on student access are provided in chapter 1. These shed some light on different notions of access, on the multiplicity of entry paths, on the various for

Abstract:

This is a study about teacher education for diversity at the University of Namibia (UNAM), the only government university in the country that trains teachers. It is a response to changing classroom demographics in Namibia, as classroom composition has become more diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic class. These changes require teachers with knowledge on teaching for diversity. Namibia’s post-apartheid policy on diversity reflects international practices aimed at achieving Education for All. It advocates teacher education that is responsive to the country’s needs. Howe

Abstract:

A number of tertiary institutions offer bridging courses and intervention programmes in order to increase the number of students performing well in first year mathematics. At the university of Namibia, the science faculty provides educational opportunities to students who have not met the requirements to proceed with MAT 3511 (Basic Math). Unfortunately, the majority of students are not able to cope with the first year modules in Mathematics and the pass rates are unacceptably low. In the interest of supporting students, the University was prompted to introduce a two mode intervention programm

Education is one of the deciding factors for poverty alleviation and economic growth. Governments of developing countries is struggling to meet the demand for qualitative education and the nation of Namibia is no exception. Namibia is struggling with the lack of a skilled workforce and the lack of access to qualitative higher education has been identified as one of the prime causes. ICTs have been identified as a potential enabler for an increased access and quality of education in Namibia.

Abstract:

Distance education and open and flexible learning policies have done much to extend accessibility to higher education throughout the world. However, distance education is not just a move away from learning in the classroom. It is a complete paradigm shift and when delivering learning materials outside the classroom across any distance, it is important that technologies and techniques support students. Against this background, the case has been made that the provision of student support services, according to the diverse needs and expectations of adult distance education students, should

The need to integrate both content and language instruction in the contexts of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is widely advocated for.

In addition, they have the underlying assumption that the needs of the target audience are considered in all aspects of course development. This would do away with what Hutchinson and Waters (1987, 2009) term ad hoc course development designs. Furthermore, it is generally agreed that reading is a f
