Title A name given to the resource THE ROLE OF TURNITIN POLICY IN ACADEMIC WRITING: A CASE OF ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JUDITH TAFANGOMBE Description An account of the resource Academics strive to produce quality academic writing. There is need to ensure that issues of plagiarism are addressed to promote quality academic writing. Plagiarism means using some one’s ideas without even acknowledging the source (en.writecheck.com/resources). In academic writing plagiarism is a serious offence. It results in one loosing academic or professional standing or failing assignments or courses (http:// www.examiner.com/ adult –education-in- pittsburg/plagiarism-higher education. It is therefore imperative that academics make use of anti- plagiarism software such as turnitin as it would assist them to avoid plagiarism. The study sought to findout the role of turnitin in academic writing. A qualitative approach was adopted and a case study design was employed. The case study allowed the researcher to focus on a particular instance to get an in-depth understanding of the situation (Creswell, 2009).A purposive sampling of 5 lecturers and 5 students was drawn. The lecturers revealed that they have been trained to use the anti-plagiarism but were yearning for a clear policy since it would determine universal acceptable percentage. The students on the other hand revealed that they have not been trained to use it and would appreciate such training to promote production of quality assignments. It is recommended that there be a turnitin policy used in faculties to promote quality academic writing. Students on the other hand should be trained to use turn it in soft-ware in order to produce quality assignments. Thus generally both students and lecturers should be encouraged to use the anti-plagiarism software in all their academic writing Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IJESR Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 academic writing plagiarism turnitin https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/854f16d293086983c8cfb841242519c3.pdf 5b1513ff3fc45523b0630e690cf6b639 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The population comprised of all the 300 teachers in Nkayi South Circuit. Random sampling was used to arrive at a sample of 30 teachers from ten schools. The study adopted the descriptive survey design and the questionnaire was used for collecting data. The main findings of the study revealed that the most common forms of bullying were physical (that is, fighting, punching, hitting), verbal (that is, threatening, swearing, teasing) social (that is, deliberately leaving out of a game or group, ignoring). The study also revealed that boys were the main contributors of bullying. The findings also revealed that the bullying behaviours were influenced by home based factors, peers and school based factors. The study recommends that schools should encourage teachers to engage all children in productive work all the time and also liaise with parents on best ways of guiding the behaviour of pupils who exhibit characteristics of bullies Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available British Journal of Education, Society & Behavioural Science Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Bullying circuit nature; primary school; circuit prevalence primary school https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/b2ec3de55b358fa0975a86c9b6b7bfa1.pdf bd11d26b32a6962ed369983ba25a3489 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource THE WIDER VISION OF SOCIAL POLICY: EXPLORING THE WAYS OF CURBING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN FOUR WARDS OF SHAMVA NORTH CONSTITUENCY (ZIMBABWE) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TOM TOM MAPURANGA BARBRA Description An account of the resource The researchers sought to discover the forms and depths of violence against women, and to analyse the current responses to the violence in Shamva North constituency in Zimbabwe. Prevent violence against women through in-depth understanding of such violence and the analysis of the current responses in the 4 wards was the overall aim of the study. This aim emanated from the view that violence against women is enduring despite the existence of national policies, regional and international frameworks and platforms for action against violence on women. Four wards of the constituency were selected for the study. These are Wards 7, 10, 18 and 29. A mixed methods research design was applied because the problem has both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The results of the study indicate that women are the main victims of various forms of violence in the four wards. Violence against women is rooted in the social structures and relations of the wards. The results of the study show that the current responses to violence against women are inadequate in both scope and rigour. There is need therefore to widen the scope and depth of the responses to enhance effectiveness.

Title A name given to the resource THE USAGE OF ELECTRONIC RESOURCES AT ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY MIDLANDS LIBRARY, GWERU, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MTHOKOZISI MASUMBIKA NCUBE Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource WILLARD TARUMBIRA Description An account of the resource he advent of electronic resources in academic circles towards the end of the 20th I. INTRODUCTION century presaged a fresh landmark for research and scholarship as the innovation offered academics and scholars in universities with extensive, timely and contemporary sources of information. Therefore, this research grew out of the realization that regardless of numerous exertions that have been made by the Zimbabwe Open University Midlands library to enhance access to these resources, their usage among scholars remained very limited. This pragmatic study, conducted in this library in Gweru, endeavoured to find out why the utilization of electronic resources within the library was limited, and also institute what could be done to correct this problem. The study used questionnaires, interviews, and observations to gather information. The study established that the major cause of low usage of electronic resources in the library was due to the inadequate ICT resources within the library, which in turn caused slow Internet connectivity. The study also established that some of the students were not aware of the electronic resources offered by the library. Therefore, the study recommends that the library acquires adequate ICT resources that facilitate electronic resources access; this would also include increasing the bandwidth of the network to expedite the Internet connectivity. The study also recommends that the library undertakes diverse strategies to market the electronic resources that the library offers. In essence, the library should take a pro-active approach in ensuring that electronic resources are utilized by students in order for them to produce up to standard academic work, and also such that they can enrich themselves through these resources.

Title A name given to the resource THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTRE IN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WITHIN SELECTED SCHOOLS IN MIDLANDS AND MASHONALAND CENTRAL, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MTHOKOZISI MASUMBIKA NCUBE STEPHEN TSEKEA Description An account of the resource The role played by school libraries in ensuring academic excellence has been vividly overlooked in most literature, and within Zimbabwe in particular. Therefore, this article looked at the contribution of the school library media centre towards the performance of pupils in selected schools within Midlands and Mashonaland Central provinces between year 2009 and 2014 at a Zimbabwean school setup. The essence of a school library media centre is to provide access to diverse educational and recreational resources to enhance the performance of pupils. However, as schools were ranked every year, schools that had always topped the rankings continued to do so year in and year out. The rankings showed that schools with good grades at Ordinary Level examinations continued to perform well at Advanced Level examinations. Therefore, this qualitative study endeavored to explore the role that was played by libraries in the success of such schools. The study selected schools from Mashonaland Central and Midlands provinces in Zimbabwe that had performed well and those that did not perform well. Data was gathered using from the Zimbabwe Library Association (ZIMLA) members in the two provinces, school librarians, teacher librarians, general teachers and pupils within the selected schools. Questerviews, interviews and observations. Results of the study indicated that schools that had effective school library media centers performed better than their counterparts. The study further found out that the major hindrance that affected the effectiveness of some school libraries in information provision was lack of resources, that is human, financial and material resources. The study hence concluded that school libraries media centers played a significant role in the performance of pupils and thus it was therefore imperative for the libraries to be equipped with adequate resources that would enable their effectiveness. In addition, the study further recommends that various players in the library profession come into play in ensuring that school libraries within the two provinces are manned by individuals that have the necessary competencies and skills in library management.

Title A name given to the resource THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL IN TRANSITIONING YOUNG PEOPLE INTO VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN GWANDA DISTRICT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ITAYI SAMANYANGA VICTOR MADZINGA DINGINDAWO NCUBE Description An account of the resource This paper sought to assess the role of the school in transitioning young people into vocational training in selected secondary schools in Gwanda district. Many young people are completing secondary school education without skills needed to live independently or contribute meaningfully to society‟s daily demands. With the ever increasing job demands on technical skills young people need to be prepared for specialised technical jobs. The research sought to assess the role of the school system in preparing youths who can effectively compete in the labour market. The major challenge youths face is unemployment due to their unemployability. It is therefore imperative, to prepare them for vocational training and ultimately for lifelong employment. The teaching of technical and vocational subjects prepares youths for the labour market as well as increasing their chances of becoming professionals. Through the learning of technical and vocational subjects, youths are empowered to make choices for their future careers and realise the benefits of possessing knowledge of technical and vocational skills. The study evaluated the role played by the education system in preparing youths for working life. A descriptive survey was used to obtain respondents‟ views. The study used questionnaire, structured interview schedule and observation guide in the data collection process to promote triangulation. The study recommends the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to come up with a clear policy guiding the implementation of technical and vocational curricula in secondary schools. The study findings reveal that secondary schools had no suitably qualified technical and vocational teachers, thus inadequate time was allocated to technical and vocational subjects.

Title A name given to the resource THE RELEVANCE OF COUNSELLING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CLIENTS WHO ARE PHYSICALLY DISABLED AT HOUSEHOLD LEVEL: IMPLICATIONS TO PRACTICING COUNSELLORS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ITAYI SAMANYANGA RACHEAL MAFUMBATE Description An account of the resource Society attaches a stigma to many forms of disability and this leads to prejudicial treatment. The birth of a child with a disability or chronic illness, or the discovery that a child has a disability, has a profound effect on a family. People with disabilities are often labelled by the non disabled people as blind, wheelchair users and called names rather than as complex human beings with specific challenges. Siblings need to adjust to a brother or sister who is disabled since the disabling condition may require a large portion of family time, attention, money and psychological support. The experiences of parents and siblings of a child who is disabled could be stressfulness, overprotection of the child from associating with peers, keeping the child secluded or even going to the extent of murdering the child to get rid of the disability considering it an abomination. Counselling is very crucial once a disability has been detected as that helps parents and siblings of a child who is disabled to cope with the disability challenges by encouraging the household members to offer support, manage stress and enhance coping abilities. The counsellor assists the family members accepting objectively their child who is disabled. The research study is helpful to the community as it provides knowledge on disability issues and management of physical disabling conditions.

Title A name given to the resource HE LOW LIBRARY USAGE BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A CASE ON ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY MIDLANDS REGIONAL LIBRARY, GWERU, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MTHOKOZISI MASUMBIKA NCUBE Description An account of the resource The Zimbabwe Open University Midlands regional library acts as a back bone for the Zimbabwe Open University Midlands Region, as it has in place resources and services meant to cater for the diverse library needs of its stakeholders, at the same time encouraging extensive study habits and life-long learning. However, there is a very low usage of library resources and services by the university students. Therefore this pragmatic research intended to establish the reasons behind this low usage and recommend measures that can be taken to increase the student’s use of the library, through the use of a case study research design. The study used semi-structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observations and document analysis to collect data. The study identified that some of the resources within the library did not meet the needs of the students, and also that the library was inconveniently located, thus making it difficult for most students to visit and use the library. Therefore, for the library to be deemed relevant, the research recommends that relevant resources be acquired in the library. Also the research recommends that the library be relocated to a more strategic position, to enable maximum utilization by students Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IJRSS Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 information needs library usage Midlands library Zimbabwe Open University https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/5879756198b99af1c20629639a4f2cec.pdf 9cff0d5c8455acf82f73b510d2e6c6c9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICTS) IN ZIMBABWE: A CASE STUDY OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY SECTOR. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ANOS MACHINJIKE FARAI CHOGA Description An account of the resource The Postal and Telecommunications Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) statistics point to the rise in the use of social media in Zimbabwe. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation(UNWTO) also allude to the important role played by the tourism industry in the economic development and growth around the world. This study sought to find a nexus between the exponential rise in usage of social media and its impact on the tourism and hospitality in Zimbabwe which ultimately could contribute to the economic growth of the country. The research set out to focus on establishing from tourists, the influence of social media in the choice of tourist destinations as well as to determine the role of social media as a marketing tool from players in the tourism and hospitality sector. Other objectives were to identify popular social media platforms as well as the benefits and challenges arising out of the use of social media in the industry. The qualitative research methodology was used for the study where face to face and telephonic interviews as well as in-depth emailed questionnaires were used to as data collection instruments using a purposive sampling method. The findings of the study show that social media plays a significant role in influencing people’s decisions on choice of tourist destinations and is also an important, cost effective, efficient and convenient marketing tool. Popularity of social media is also driven by its affordability and interactive nature. Findings also point out some challenges arising out of use of social media. The study concluded that social media plays a significant role in the tourism and hospitality sector. The study therefore recommended the adoption of social media for the purposes of creating positive perceptions on destinations to improve the pull power of destinations. The study also recommended the need to uplift the profile of social media in organisations through employment of appropriate staff to advance digital marketing on social media platforms. Another recommendation was to call for the enactment of policies to penalise detractors and culprits who peddle falsehoods and fake news on social media for ulterior motives Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Research in Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 information and communication technologies (ICTs) social media tourism and hospitality sector https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/f2f50bef76889e6102af24aab7117502.pdf 4de2a01862f10bec314cf56ae2166db6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource THE IMPACT OF URBAN WETLAND FARMING ON FOOD SECURITY IN ZIMBABWE’S URBAN AREAS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DELIWE TEMBACHAKO ANYWAY KATANHA RUMBIDZAI DEBRA KATSARUWARE Description An account of the resource This study explores the urban wetlands contribution to household food security in Zimbabwe. This is under the backdrop of hazy information which exists under the environmental importance of wetland resource discourse. The study was an ethnographic in nature which used a qualitative research approach. The study used a number of livelihood tools in food security assessment which included, direct observations, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and a household questionnaire survey, to solicit the data. A satellite town (Chitungwiza) close to Zimbabwe’s capital city (Harare) was used for this study. A sum of 300 subjects from the three main residential areas namely Seke, St Mary’s and Zengeza suburbs were selected for the study. Systematic sampling was used to select wetland urban farmers in each surbub, followed by random sampling which resulted in a sample size of 100 from each suburb. The results revealed that 92% of the urban farmers practice agriculture in wetlands. Sixty two percent acknowledge that they are food secure because of wetland agriculture. The main crops which are planted in these wetlands include maize, sweet potatoes, and vegetables in order of their importance. Hundred percent respondents were of the opinion that soils from wetlands are richer than those from other landscapes and therefore reducing expenses on input costs like fertilizers. About 80% of those that are food secure are women headed households. Eighty seven percent of the respondents confirmed that wetlands provide products and services that significantly contribute to their household food security. Despite the wetland’s contribution, these urban farmers face some challenges which include low inputs, unreliable and erratic rainfall, unfavorable urban agricultural policies and diseases. Urban population increase around the wetlands, embedded with other anthropogenic activities, economic crisis, land shortage and climate change presents households with limited options. The study recommends urban agricultural policies that take into account the importance of wetlands as reliable agricultural landscape and reduce the construction of buildings in the wetlands. Adoptions of relevant technologies that ensure sustainable use of wetland resources for food security for example zero tillage.

Title A name given to the resource THE EFFECTS OF STATUTORY INSTRUMENT 64 OF 2016 ON CLEARING AGENTS BASED AT BEITBRIDGE BORDER POST IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource STANLEY IDANAI MURANGWA TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The current study sought to explore the effects of Statutory Instrument Number 64 of 2016 on the business of clearing agents based at Beitbridge Border Post. The study used qualitative research and an exploratory research design. Data were collected through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, document reviews and observations. Four basic categories of clearing agents were identified at the Beitbridge Border Post, namely, agents who worked for large firms such as multinationals and stock exchange listed firms; agents who worked for small enterprises; self-employed individuals; and the ―briefcase‖ agent. The study revealed that the major challenges faced by clearing agents due to the introduction of Statutory Instrument Number 64 of 2016 included delays in customs formalities, loss of reputation due to unethical behavior, lack of training and skills and limited infrastructure. The researchers discovered that the effects of Statutory Instrument Number 64 of 2016 on clearing agents were loss of business due to reduced importation of goods by traders, the threat of salary cuts and job losses, worse standards of living due to increased prices of the few imported goods that found their way into the economy coupled with increases in prices of locally produced goods from nascent firms and poor quality goods. The researchers recommended that government should educate, train and equip clearing agents with knowledge and information on the requirements of Statutory Instrument Number 64 of 2016 and ensure that the customs clearing system is always functional to avoid delays.

Title A name given to the resource THE EFFECT OF STAGE OF GROWTH AND METHOD OF DRYING FRESH HERBAGE ON CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THREE TROPICAL HERBACEOUS FORAGE LEGUMES [EFECTO DE LA ETAPA DE CRECIMIENTO Y EL MÉTODO DE SECADO SOBRE LA COMPOSICIÓN QUÍMICA DE TRES ESPECIES HERBACEAS DE LEGUMINOSAS FORRAJERAS TROPICALES] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J. F. MUPANGWA N. T. NGONGONI H. HAMUDIKUWANDA Description An account of the resource The objective of this study was to assess the effect of stage of growth and method of drying fresh herbage on the chemical composition of herbaceous forage legumes namely Cassia rotundifolia (Cassia), Lablab purpureus (Lablab) and Macroptilium atropurpureum (Siratro). The interactions of legume species, drying method and stage of growth influenced the crude protein content and nitrogen degradation of the legumes. Siratro maintained a greater protein content ranging from 191 to 282 g/kg DM, at all stages of growth and drying methods than either cassia or lablab which had values ranging from, respectively, 173 to 246 and 162 to 254 g/kg DM, but were also different. Drying the forages at 60 0C caused an increase in the acid detergent insoluble nitrogen content of the legumes. The neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and lignin content of cassia and siratro harvested at 8 or 14 weeks of growth were greater than in lablab. While the protein content declines with fibre increasing with advancing plant maturity, the legumes tend to maintain a high CP content, which makes them acceptable protein supplementary feeds to low quality roughages. Among the three legumes, siratro showed a higher sustained CP content followed by cassia, and lablab was the least. To ensure high quality forage more emphasis should be placed on drying methods and harvest management as this affects the extent of leaf loss from the forage legumes and hence the quality of the final feed given to animals Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 chemical composition Forage Legumes stage of growth https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/58e91103d5976d5d4db36a25a6b41877.pdf 1ef2fb18ce6a95d02a80ce4011021f56 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource THE EFFECT OF HERBICIDES ON RESIDUAL EFFECTS OF ATRAZINE UNDER CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MUTSVANDIANI CHIKUTUMA LOVEJOY TEMBO WISDOM KURANGWA Description An account of the resource An experiment was set up to evaluate the residual effect of atrazine in cowpea production under conservation agriculture. The trial was superimposed on a previous herbicide trial of a maize crop in 2012/2013 season. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replicates and four treatments as follows; 1. control (manual weeding), 2. Atrazine (3.6 litres/ha), 3. Atrazine (3.6 litres/ha) + glyphosate (2.5 litres/ha) and 4. Atrazine (3.6 litres/ha) + glyphosate (2.5 litres/ha) + metolachlor (1 litre/ha). Herbicide treatment was carried out at planting time and manual weeding at 10 cm weed height. Data collected include: germination percentage, weed counts and weed biomass, cowpea biomass, pod length and cowpea yield. The herbicidal treatments showed a significant effect (p<0.05) on pod length and cowpea yield. The control plot had the highest pod length of 17.03cm and atrazine alone had the least of 15.77cm. A combination of three herbicides had the highest yield of 1.2t/ha and atrazine alone had the lowest yield of 0.9t/ha. No significant (p>0.05) effects were recorded on percentage germination, weed counts and weed biomass as well as on cowpea biomass. Tank mixing of two or more herbicides is recommended when using atrazine to reduce residual effect and further research is recommended under different soil types with different climatic conditions Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Greener Journal of Agricultural Sciences Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 atrazine Conservation agriculture cowpea residual effect
