Title A name given to the resource THE EFFECT FEEDING FORAGE LEGUMES AS NITROGEN SUPPLEMENT ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF SHEEP Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J. J. BALOYI N. T. NGONGONI H. HAMUDIKUWANDA Description An account of the resource The effect of feeding forage legumes, Cowpea, Silverleaf desmodium and Oxley fine stem stylo, as protein supplements to natural pasture (veld) hay on intake, growth rate and nitrogen metabolism in growing lambs was evaluated. Thirty growing lambs were stratified according to body weight and randomly assigned, within a stratum, to five diets in a completely randomised design. The diets were veld hay alone (V), veld hay supplemented with either 10 g/kg of urea (VU), veld hay supplemented with 250 g/kg Cowpea (VC), 250 g/kg Silverleaf desmodium (VS) or 250 g/kg Oxley fine stem stylo (VF) forage legume hays. The V and the VU groups were used as control diets. Animals supplemented with either urea or the forage legume had higher (P<0.01) total dry matter intake compared with the animals on V. The animals supplemented with the forage legumes had higher (P<0.01) nitrogen intake and faecal nitrogen output than the non- supplemented group. All animals, across the treat-ments, lost body weight; lambs on V had higher (P< 0.01) body weight losses than those in the other treatments. The forage legume supplemented groups lost less (P<0.01) body weight than those on the V and VU diets.

Title A name given to the resource THE ECONOMICS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MARKETING BY SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN MUREHWA AND MUTOKO DISTRICTS IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The study assessed the nature of marketing chain of fruits and vegetables in Murehwa and Mutoko Districts in Mashonaland East Province in Zimbabwe. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques were used. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, direct observations and document reviews. A structured household questionnaire was used as the basic tool to collect socio-economic and production data pertaining to fruit and vegetable smallholder producers. The study revealed that poor infrastructure for storage, processing and marketing of fruits and vegetables contributed to losses to the farmers. Smallholder farmers generally focused on production activities and showed relatively little interest in postharvest and marketing activities. The major markets included traditional wet markets such as Mbare and Machipisa Vegetable Markets in Harare and spot selling. The presence of informal middlemen at Mbare and Machipisa Vegetable Markets had led to considerable reduction of the farmers’ profit margins. The study recommended strong partnerships through commodity clusters among farmers in order to be able to supply organised markets such as food processors, institutions (hospitals, tertiary colleges and boarding schools), supermarkets and fast food shops with produce of standardised quality, meet volume requirements and assure consistency of supplies and to enhance efficiency in marketing. Buyer-supplier partnerships such as contract farming sponsored by agro-food processors also facilitated fruit and vegetable marketing while providing farmers access to skills, technologies and infrastructure. Further research should focus on value addition of fruits and vegetables produced by smallholder farmers Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Sciences Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 commodity clusters fruits infrastructure market access smallholder farmers supply chain vegetables https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/ee4817a90059ad2583a53bab0579278a.pdf 0d37d4b469a948302f4d5cc2081b11d0 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 TUTOR EFFECTIVENESS: CONCEPTIONS OF STUDENT TEACHERS AT ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY IN MASVINGO Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ROSEMARY NGARA RICHARD NGARA Description An account of the resource Tutoring is an age - old practice .There are some requisites for tutors to be effective. Content knowledge is an essential ingredient for effective tutoring and many other personal attributes. If a tutor is received as genuine and having a genuine desire to listen, students will be willing to open up and discuss their problems. Good mastery of subject matter by the tutor contributes to tutor effectiveness as students turn up for tutorials if they feel they benefit from tutors` contributions. Much of the quality of tutoring depends on the attitude of the instructor and their capabilities in using technology. Research suggests that the effectiveness of distance learning is based on preparation, excellent communication skills and the instructors’ understanding. A survey was conducted at Zimbabwe Open University in Masvingo region to establish tutees’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the tutors’ teaching courses in the Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Development Programme (BECDECD) using questionnaires. Respondents were of the opinion that most tutors had impressive subject mastery and were usually thoroughly prepared for tutorials and methodology used was viewed by most participants as suitable. However, there were sentiments that tutors hardly communicated with students outside tutorial sessions. Tutors’ marking was viewed as communicative, but feedback was not timely and tutors did not use any modern teaching media. Some of the personal attributes such as openness, humility and accessibility were viewed as wanting on the part of some tutors. The study recommended that more tutor workshops be run to emphasize and reemphasize essential ingredients of effective tutoring and that the tutors make use of technology available at the regional campus, among other things Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available European Social Sciences Research Journal Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Early Childhood Development tutor effectiveness https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/b15c4785565083e52ce3e3d575ab961b.pdf c55d9399b336b35156bb94f94655745e 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 TEACHING PRACTICE SUPERVISION AND ASSESSMENT AS A QUALITY ASSURANCE TOOL IN TEACHER TRAINING: PERCEPTIONS OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS AT MASVINGO TEACHER TRAINING COLLEGES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ROSEMARY NGARA RICHARD NGWARAI RODGERS NGARA Description An account of the resource eaching practice (T.P.) is a critical stage in the training of prospective teachers as it is a process of producing a master teacher. There are many mechanisms that are put in place to make T.P. a beneficial experience to trainee teachers and student supervision is a part of one of such mechanisms. Supervision and assessment of the trainee teachers is done by the college and mentors and members of the administration at the schools where students conduct their teaching practice. There are, however, some problems associated with supervision. For instance, supervisors give conflicting suggestions and sometimes supervision is ill-timed or delayed. A survey was conducted in Masvingo urban schools to determine views of prospective teachers and student teacher supervisors on the effectiveness of T.P supervision as a tool in quality assurance. By and large, participants regarded supervision and assessment as an indispensable tool in assuring quality in teacher training. Nevertheless, some variables were viewed as affecting the effectiveness of supervision. Among them were delays in supervision, supervision being far- spaced from each other, little or no dialogue and lack of consensus on the part of supervisors in dealing with similar issues.

Title A name given to the resource MOVING THE CENTRE WITHOUT CONFLICT; GENDER AND VIRTUAL EMPOWERMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE VIRTUAL EMPOWERMENT MODEL IN HIGHER EDUCATION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ESTHER GANDARI JUDITH TAFANGOMBE Description An account of the resource There is a wide gap between women’s access to education and women’s empowerment in a patriarchal society. In addressing marginalization, women in Southern Africa have made significant achievements and have excelled in a variety of fields, including the male domain. This has been possible due to emergent technologies which present new opportunities for women by empowering them in obtaining higher education, playing an active process of construction of knowledge, attitudes and values as well as developing skills using a variety of resources such as printed material and electronic media. This article investigates how four African housewives successfully moved the centre without conflict in their families especially with their husbands by getting educated using web-based technologies across face-to-face, online, and virtual world classes with communication tools that are synchronous, asynchronous, and automated pre-scripted. The study is qualitative and captures the narratives of the women using the ODL mode in successfully changing their circumstances while attending to their roles as mothers and wives in their kitchens. The integration of E-learning, which is the application of information and communication technologies in a wide array of solutions, improves knowledge and performance.

Title A name given to the resource SYSTEMATIC CROSSBREEDING AND ITS IMPACT ON CARCASS PARAMETERS AND ASSOCIATED MEAT QUALITY PROPERTIES IN GOATS AND SHEEP Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEVER ASSAN Description An account of the resource The major focus of any commercial goat and sheep enterprise is to maximize on carcass and meat production and obviously realizing substantial gain in profits. In modern goat and sheep meat production, crossbreeding has become an admissible and accelerated strategy to produce carcasses that ensure the point of departure for leaner meat, in addition to consumer acceptable carcass properties. It has become a norm that genetic manipulation for desired carcass and meat quality in small ruminants can be achieved through crossbreeding. There is considerable individual, maternal and paternal heteroses for carcass and meat quality properties in goat/ sheep crosses. In this regard, crossing of genetic distant goat/sheep breeds fortifies the degree of manifestation of carcass and meat quality performance results. In practice noticeable commercial gains have been achieved in improving carcass and meat quality properties through crossing indigenous and exotic goats’/sheep breeds, especially in low input production systems. It should be noted that the inconsistency on end results on the impact of crossbreeding on carcass and meat quality parameters is due to various non-genetic factors that are experienced in different production systems. Carcass and meat value is influenced by a significant number of different factors where the uttermost importance are genotype, nutrition, sex, age and weight at slaughter and management. In this case, comparability of results of crossbreeding on carcass and meat quality performance in different production systems have been debatable and complicated, due to the fact that in certain cases crossbred animals are slaughtered at the same age and varied sex, and/or different age and same sex, possibly differing in weight at slaughter. The differentiated nutritional management in extensive versus intensive production systems is critical in determining the quality carcass and/or meat in crossbred goat and sheep. Consumers have been the major prescribers of the intended form of carcass and meat quality proponents’ world over, especially in developed countries. In this regard crossbreeding has been strategically used to customise meat production to the needs of various production systems, in terms of carcass and meat attributes seem acceptable by different host markets and consumers’ expectations. However, it has been acknowledged that not necessarily every crossing is adapted for breeding to guarantee comparable desired carcass and meat quality parameters, hence different combination of two-breed and to a lesser extent three-breed crossing of selected populations of goats and sheep have been used to carter for the needs of different production systems and markets. Against this background, the application of any systematic crossbreeding strategy should take into account the appropriate breed combination by selecting right population to fulfill efficient goat/sheep meat production. Crossbreeding capitalize on genetic distance through utilizing superior specialized maternal and paternal breeds/lines for the purpose of maximizing their superiority, diluting their flaws for improved performance in carcass and meat quality parameters. Basically, crossbreeding is not one size fits all, in conformity with expanded genetic diversity of goat and sheep breeds and differential production systems, no one combination of specific breeds will work for multiple production systems.

This study sought to investigate support for the roll-out of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) and men’s willingness to get circumcised for HIV prevention. Data and Methods: Data for this study was collected from a randomly selected sample of 681 men and women in the age group 18-49 years in Harare, Zimbabwe. The obtained data was analysed using descriptive statistics, bivariate and regression analysis. Results and Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that knowledge and acceptability of VMMC is high. However, despite the relatively high knowledge and acceptability of VMMC, less than half of the male participants were willing to undergo circumcision for HIV prevention. The study concluded that there is an apparent gap between knowledge and acceptability of VMMC and men’s willingness to undergo circumcision for HIV prevention.

Title A name given to the resource INFLUENCE OF SUCKLING AND/OR MILKING METHOD ON YIELD AND MILK COMPOSITION IN DAIRY ANIMALS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource N. ASSAN Description An account of the resource Achieving the maximum marketable milk yield with a high fat and protein content is desirable to producers to increase farm profitability. The present discussion points to the fact that rearing systems and milking method used affect either milk yield or milk composition during the entire lactation. Increased milk production elicited by suckling is probably due to the additional stimulus of the mammary gland, and is associated with improved mammary development through regulation of secretion of hormone during this period with markedly increase in milk. Dairy farmers can take advantage of suckling stimulus as a management tool combined with stipulated frequency of machine milking to increase milk production.

Title A name given to the resource STUDENT RETENTION AS A FUNCTION OF THE QUALITY OF LEARNER SUPPORT IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AT THE ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DAVID CHAKUCHICHI Description An account of the resource Student retention is critically linked to the quality of service in open and distance learning (odl). Peterson (1997) points out that students will form favourable perceptions regarding the quality of their experience and decide to persist. Student retention could therefore be viewed as a function of the learners’ perception of the quality of service and support. Low student retention rates have a negative impact on the perception of the institution. It is, therefore, pertinent to enhance the student retention rate in odl. The study used tinto’s model of student retention as a theoretical base which underpins the need to satisfy students’ social and educational needs in order to retain them. The study is a descriptive survey utilising multistage purposive sampling in order to include students across faculties and regions.

Title A name given to the resource STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING OF UBIQUITOUS LEARNING AT ZIMBABWEAN SCHOOLS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GABRIEL KABANDA Description An account of the resource The study tested the application of structural equation modelling (SEM) to ubiquitous learning of selected Zimbabwean schools. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of diffusion factors toward ubiquitous learning in Zimbabwe. The main hypothesis being tested was: “ ICT facilities have a positive effect on the diffusion and adoption of ubiquitous learning in Zimbabwean schools”. Three models fundamental to SEM are confirmatory analysis, causal modes and measurement models. A good model is parsimonious, theoretically justifiable and reproduces the underlying correlation matrix based on the constraints imposed. The methodology used is quantitative where the research design is a survey method. The SEM is a comprehensive methodological approach that allows the analysis of the relationships between observed variables and unobserved/ latent factors. A questionnaire and a scale were administered to heads of computer studies to 15 selected Zimbabwean schools in May 2012. The successful Presidential E-learning programme is the national beacon, vision and national policy direction that should be pursued by all schools, colleges and universities in Zimbabwe. All the schools surveyed were aware of the Presidential e-learning programme. However, the adoption and diffusion of the national e-learning programme exhibited disintegrated efforts in implementation of computerization projects, marginally high digital divide, cyber-bullying among school pupils, inadequate cyber-security technical measures, a huge appetite for computer training, computer literacy rate for teachers ranging from 5% to 80% in some of the schools, little evidence of integration of e-learning into the school curricula, and shocking levels of inadequate networked computing facilities Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 e-learning ICTs information systems m-learning SEM Structural Equation Modelling ubiquitous learning https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/90b6d1b8047f954e5d267ae09a1259f8.pdf 87d4dcc1c84dabcef70507281000c347 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 STRATEGIES AND APPROACHES TO SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION IN SUB SAHARAN AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource N. ASSAN Description An account of the resource Livestock is a dominant agricultural activity in Sub Saharan Africa, which is generally considered a key asset for most rural population and contribute to the livelihoods and nutrition of purely subsistence households. This discussion is a synthesis of possible strategies to consider for sustaianble livestock production, focusing on issues of climate change, gender, smallholder livestock support and use of indigenous knowledge systems, and how these may influence livestock production. There are many measures which need to be explored with the aim of making the livestock systems become driving forces of sustainable agricultural development. One of the major factors responsible for the declining livestock productivity in the region is the relegation to the background of the contributions of women in the issues of livestock production. On the other hand, climate change and variability is now widely regarded as the most serious challenge facing Sub Saharan Africa, with consequences that go far beyond the effects on the environment, hence affecting most communities indiscriminately. Despite the negative impact of climate change on livestock production and biodiversity conservation, poor resources peasant famers are incentivized to engage in these activities because of the wide spectrum of benefits accrued, such as cash income, food, manure, draft power and hauling services, savings and insurance, and social status and social capital. Since time immemmorial, indigenous livestock knowledge systems have been used in smallholder livestock farming sector, while strengthening livestock productivity. These are some of the key aspects in promoting livestock development, through economically and socially empowering local communities, and consequently providing a way to enable rural communities to break the cycle of poverty. In this discussion, some of the strategic steps that can be adopted for future sustainable livestock production, include and not limited to the following: promotion of gender equality and equity in livestock production systems in terms of equal access to livestock productive resources, boosting climate change mitigation startegies, and empowering women in livestock production decision making.

Title A name given to the resource STORAGE TEMPERATURE AFFECTS FRUIT QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF BER (ZIZIPHUS MAURITIANA LAMK.) IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource LOVEJOY TEMBO Z. A. CHITEKA I RENE KADZERE FESTUS K. AKINNIFESI F. TAGWIRA Description An account of the resource Fruit utilization is affected by quality attributes and shelf life. The quality of Jujube or Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) fruits after harvest depends on storage conditions used. In this study, different storage temperatures and durations were evaluated to determine the appropriate storage conditions of fresh fruits of Z. mauritiana. Three storage temperature levels, low (5oC), intermediate (15oC) and ambient (22oC) were evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks storage durations. Fruits stored at low temperature lost only 48% of their weight during the entire 12 week storage period while the fruits stored in the ambient and intermediate temperature ranges lost 70 and 75% of weight, respectively. At three weeks of storage, more than 40% of fruits had shrivelled under the ambient and intermediate storage temperatures compared to only 3% under the low storage temperature.

The fungicidal effect of Moringa oleifera leaf chloroform and aqueous extracts (MLCE and MLAE, respectively) was investigated in vitro to determine the inhibitory effect on germination of spores (conidia) of A. solani. Mixtures of spore suspension and MLCE, as well as MLAE (1:1), were prepared and dropped on slides by micropipette with 20 μL spore suspension of A. solani and 20 μL of MLCE and MLAE. The two treatments, MLCE and MLAE, were applied at four concentrations (62.5, 125, 250 and 500 mg mL−1) and compared with negative (distilled water; no extracts) and positive (diflucan, a commercial fungicide) controls with five replicates. The two extracts showed relatively high inhibitory effects on the germination of conidia from the lowest to the highest concentration. Germination of conidia decreased with increase in the concentrations of the extracts. The study showed that 250 mg mL−1 is the optimum concentration for both MLCE and MLAE. The highest concentration inhibited germination (0.0%) in both extracts.

Title A name given to the resource SOURCES AND CAUSES OF CONFLICT THAT EXIST BETWEEN LOCALS AND REGULATORY BOARDS ON BIO-DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT: A CASE FOR BINDURA RURAL/URBAN DWELLERS AND THE FORESTRY COMMISSION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE Description An account of the resource The study sought to establish sources and causes of conflict that exist between locals and regulatory boards on bio-diversity management in Bindura rural/urban dwellers and the Forestry Commission. According to Zimbabwean laws, community is the owner of environment hence they have to control it .The society seem to be economically and socially forced by the situation to destroy their environment for example the erratic power cuts in urban set up force urban residence to depend on natural energy that is firewood for their domestic use. The community however continues to compete in the cutting of trees expediting the destruction of the environment. The forestry commission preserves the environment by stipulating measures against the destruction of forests. (Forestry Commission Act). This however is a source of conflict since the community claims it owns the forests and should depend on it whilst the forestry commission’s legislative board guards against the destruction of the environment. The significance of the study was to come up with solutions of reducing deforestation and preserving the environment without causing conflict amongst regulatory boards and the community. The study was a descriptive survey which sought to establish views and perceptions of randomly selected concerned parties in the bio-diversity management and preservation. The main questions raised in this scenario were, was the community aware of their rights pertaining to cutting of trees in the forests? How best could the Forestry Commission Act be incorporated so as to inform the community?

Title A name given to the resource INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH CONFERENCE REVISED EDITION SOCRATIC DIALECTICS AND THE BANKING CONCEPT OF EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE PARADIGM Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR. FRANCIS EKANEM DR. THERESA F. EKANEM MR. EMMANUEL I. ARCHIBONG Description An account of the resource In the domain of teacher-student interaction, via educational process, the ideal pedagogical praxis has been in dispute. For instance, while Socrates regarded his role as a mid-wife, who helps others bring to birth their innermost ideas, thus making education an extracting affair, its polar counterpart is the banking model where knowledge is deposited on the students akin to a doctor-patient relationship. The implication of these two contrasting views is that education becomes active on one hand, and passive on the other, and either overtly, or covertly, this system has formed a sublime practice, in most countries, educational objectives. This paper examines the two systems of education with a view to comparatively exposing its tenets, thus opening us further to re-assessing our hitherto held method whether it has really captured the essence of education, thereby envisaging a paradigm-shift.

Title A name given to the resource SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF COMMERCIALIZATION OF SMALLHOLDER RABBIT PRODUCTION IN MT DARWIN DISTRICT OF ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DELIWE SYLVESTER CLAYTON MASHAPA LIGHTON DUBE MAY MREMA Description An account of the resource A study was conducted to analyze the socio-economic factors influencing commercialization of rabbit production in communal areas of Mt Darwin district of Zimbabwe. A study sample of 85 smallholder rabbit farmers was randomly selected across the study area. Data were collected by means of questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that 81.2% of respondents had attained some form of education and 63.5% had more than 6 years of rabbit farming experience. It was also observed that access to agricultural extension services, rabbit producer price, agricultural education and experience in rabbit keeping significantly (P < 0.05) influenced commercialization of rabbit farming by the farmers. It was concluded that improved access to agricultural extension services by a farmer, good rabbit producer prices, level of agricultural training attained by a farmer and years of rabbit farming experience of a farmer ease farmer’s ability to adopt commercial rabbit production and hence a higher production level. It was recommended that Zimbabwe national government create an enabling environment that promotes adequate technology transfer to farmers. Also, an investment in agro-industries that deal with the value chain components of rabbitory could be embarked upon by the government in order to improve on value-addition by farmers which would in-turn lead to more favourable prices 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 2014 analysis Commercialization farmer rabbitry Smallholder Socio-Economic https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/94ea9e859b358b3b29016851d62b583f.pdf 71e7ff13cd4c17078ecf3ae2a4cce270 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The researcher sought to understand the state of social services and social services needs in the aftermath of the FTLRP at Mupfurudzi farm in Shamva district. A mixed methods approach was applied and the study shows that the land beneficiaries at the farm are experiencing problems in accessing quality education, health care, transport services and potable water. The land beneficiaries are not passively experiencing these problems; they are actively responding to these problems through social organisation and agency. However, the land beneficiaries’ efforts should be complemented by the other development actors.
