Title A name given to the resource THE IMPACT OF AI ON PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF DATA IN UNIVERSITIES IN ZIMBABWE: A LITERATURE REVIEW Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource REASON GOBVU NEVER KATSAMUDANGA GODFREY TSVUURA Description An account of the resource In this empirical paper we discussed the impact of AI on data privacy and security in universities in Zimbabwe. The integration of how artificial intelligence (AI) in universities has transformed various aspects of educational systems offering enhanced efficiencies and personalised learning experiences were discussed. This technological advancement raises significant concerns regarding data privacy and security. As universities increasingly rely on AI systems that process vast amounts of sensitive information, the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access escalates. With a focus on Zimbabwe, this research offers a systematicliterature analysis of the effects of AI on data security and privacy in higher education. The study explores topics such as application of AI in universities, data privacy and security concerns, ethical and legal gaps in the application of AI and prospects for AI adoption in a responsible manner, drawing on both worldwide and regional studies. The paper is couched in Information Security Theory which evolved in the 1970s–1980s within the field of computer security as government, military and corporate institutions began formulating formal information assurance standards (Bishop, 2003). Information Security Theory model became widely recognised through the U.S Department of Defense publication and the early academic security literature. The findings suggest that AI increases efficiency and personalisation in universities, it also puts universities at risk for algorithmic bias, data breaches and poor information governance. In Zimbabwean universities, these risks are worse due to inadequate infrastructure, poor implementation of data privacy laws and regulations and insufficient knowledge. The study ends by suggesting that strong legislative policies, cybersecurity frameworks and effective digital literacy programmes should be implemented to ensure responsible AI use.

Title A name given to the resource THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT ON LEARNERS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MTIZWA PRISCA CHIVARAIZE Description An account of the resource This study investigates the influence of school infrastructure on the academic performance of primary school learners in Zimbabwe’s Marondera District. Employing the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model, the research adopts a decision-oriented approach to identify infrastructural factors, classroom conditions, availability of learning resources, sanitation, teacher housing, and access to digital tools—that significantly affect learner outcomes. Using a mixed-methods design, data were gathered from teachers, headmasters, and school development committees through questionnaires, interviews, observation, and document review. The findings reveal a systemic relationship between physical infrastructure and learner performance: schools with adequate infrastructure consistently reported better academic outcomes, lower dropout rates, and improved learner motivation. Conversely, under-resourced schools exhibited chronic absenteeism, low pass rates, and teacher burnout. The study recommends that policymakers integrate infrastructural audits into education planning and prioritize funding for basic amenities, especially in marginalized communities. The CIPP model provided a robust framework for diagnosing challenges and suggesting actionable improvements in school infrastructure management https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/634522077bd4cd48401584ea5fbd73e5.pdf cf026e3f521576bd3bd230e8cc3c527d 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 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.

Title A name given to the resource THE INFLUENCE OF INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOURS OF SCHOOL HEADS ON TEACHERS' INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN MUZARABANI DISTRICT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource STELLAH CHIMBERA Description An account of the resource The school's effectiveness increases when the school head prioritises teaching and learning, dedicating significant time to academic programmes and inspiring teaching staff. Effective instructional leadership is known to enhance educational outcomes and yet its application in resource-constrained primary schools in rural districts in Zimbabwe remains underexplored. There is a notable gap in literature that scrutinises the influence of instructional leadership behaviours of school heads on the instructional practices of primary school teachers in rural districts of Zimbabwe. Addressing this gap is crucial for providing significant insights into the influence of instructional leadership behaviours of school heads on teachers' instructional practices in primary schools in rural districts. This study therefore explores the influence of instructional leadership behaviours of school heads on teachers' instructional practices in primary schools within Muzarabani District. The study employs a qualitative research approach through a case study to collect data using semi structured interviews. The participants were primary school heads and teachers selected by means of purposive sampling from five primary schools in Muzarabani district. The findings reveal that school heads' instructional leadership behaviours, such as setting clear instructional goals, providing support and fostering a collaborative culture, significantly influence teachers’ adoption of innovative teaching strategies and practices. Despite these positive influences, barriers including limited resources, time constraints and inadequate professional development opportunities hinder the effectiveness of instructional leadership. The study concludes that school heads who prioritise the development and demonstration of instructional leadership behaviours in their schools can enhance the instructional practices of their teachers in the primary schools.

Title A name given to the resource THE LINK BETWEEN EVALUATIONS, REMEDIAL AND EXTENSION WORK: A CASE OF ZOU PGDE SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT TEACHERS IN HARARE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource THOMAS MUSANKULENI KAPUTA TAZIVEI DONDOFEMA Description An account of the resource This qualitative study considers the importance of evaluation to teaching and learning specifically its link to remedial and extension work. It focused specifically on student teachers on the Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) at the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). This study focused on determining the link that existed between evaluations of schemes of work, lesson plans and continuous assessment versus remedial and extension work in the curriculum subjects taught in secondary schools from Form 1 to Form 4. The study was carried out in High Glen and Glenview-Mufakose education districts of Harare Province. The population consisted of members of 11 Government secondary schools, one private secondary school and one community school in Glenview/Mufakose Districts of the Harare Metropolitan Province to the northwest of the capital city of Harare. The sample consisted of one, Heads of Secondary Schools, Heads of Departments and 50 student teachers doing PGDE) with the university and a district schools inspector. Document analysis focused on purposively selected students’ remedial and extension work exercise books providing the researchers with evaluative data during. Open-ended questionnaires were used to collect primary data on how remedial and extension work in secondary schools was being managed. The major finding shows that teachers used lesson plan evaluations and test records to superficially link to remedial and extension work. The study recommended that the university develop a students’ guide on teaching practice specifically on evaluation showing how student teachers should link it to remedial and extension work to enable the effective evaluation and implementation of remedial and extension work in the classroom.

Title A name given to the resource THE MORAL AUTHORITY AND PROPHETIC ZEAL OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GIFT MASENGWE Description An account of the resource This article aims to illuminate moral authority and prophetic zeal dynamics by analysing the struggles encountered by congregations resisting state encroachments. Amidst Zimbabwe’s political turbulence, the church operates at a critical juncture, grappling with the dual threats of state capture and the dilution of prophetic integrity. The ecclesiastical prophetic voice, traditionally positioned as society’s moral compass, has suffered profound erosion, trapped within a nexus of mutually exploitative relationships among ruling elites, legal frameworks, and acquiescent ecclesiastical leaders. Those dissenting from the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) face systemic repression within the church, revealing a deep moral crisis. Referencing Martin Luther King Jr’s assertion that the church must function as the ethical justice of the state, this research underscores the potential decline into irrelevance should prophetic zeal wane. This investigation employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to bridge gaps concerning moral compromises within religious institutions, aligning practical leadership insights with broader socio-political contexts. Employing qualitative methodologies, including informal discussions and WhatsApp exchanges among church leaders and congregants from diverse denominations, the study generates nuanced insights into the lived experiences of church-state interactions and the preservation of prophetic integrity. Findings indicate a pervasive trend of ecclesiastical subservience to state interests, signifying moral decay and an imperative to restore the church’s ethical foundation. To maintain spiritual relevance, a revival of prophetic assertiveness is essential, lest the church devolves into an inconsequential social entity devoid of substantive moral engagement with the state Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available AOSIS Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 general elections horizontal immanence moral bankruptcy political exploitation prophetic zeal regime enablers regime resistors religious leaders state-church capture vertical transcendence 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.

Title A name given to the resource THE PERCEPTIONS OF EDUCATION STAKEHOLDERS TOWARDS EXTRA LESSONS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN CHEGUTU HIGH DENSITY SUBURBS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RICHARD BUKALIYA Description An account of the resource This multi-case study was undertaken in three Chegutu urban secondary schools in Mashonaland West Province. It investigated stakeholder perceptions towards extra lessons and provided suggestions on how extra lessons could be implemented to the satisfaction of stakeholders, who included, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MOPSE) and parents, teachers and learners. The study adopted the interpretivism paradigm and the qualitative research approach. The subjective epistemology was adopted because there was no one method of knowing what really the role of extra lessons was. The study used interviews, document analysis and focus group discussions to generate data. Purposive critical case sampling was used to select twenty-three participants who took part in the study. Findings show that extra lessons had both positive and negative roles. The extra lessons helped improve the academic performance of learners and helped in covering up for inadequate time in the formal school system. They assisted in improving the school image through good results and paved the way for the reduction of the teachers` workload. Economically, teachers got extra remuneration from the extra lessons but they drained the family`s meagre financial resources. However, teachers` professionalism was dented as some teachers created demand for extra lessons by teaching less in formal school. One major conclusion drawn from the findings is that extra lessons contribute to indiscipline at the school among learners but they make learners shift their attention from the social ills of the community. From the findings, it was recommended that MOPSE should set standards for service providers and invest in extra lessons because they were assisting many in meeting the shortfalls of the mainstream system. To mitigate challenges encountered during extra lessons, the ON-OFF model could be adopted as it calls for support from all the educational stakeholders. Further studies on the role of extra lessons could be undertaken in rural communities.

Title A name given to the resource THE PERFORMANCE OF MARKETING AGENTS IN CHIBUKU INCLUSIVE VALUE CHAIN IN BEIRA, MOZAMBIQUE BY FERNANDO FERREIRA ALVES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FERNANDO FERREIRA ALVES Description An account of the resource The study was aimed at building and driving actual and potential Chibuku beer marketing agents towards an inclusive value chain, for performance and income improvement and lifting them from low livelihoods. The purpose was to include the marketing agents in the market at more beneficial terms, while supplying value for the lowest cost of the beverage. This was combined with an improvement of business standards, conceived on the leadership of a formal brewer, for quality and sustainability of production instead of the low value quality from small informal home opaque beer producers. The objective was to link stakeholders to the agents and the collaboration and linking them to the market. Besides discussing the challenges that the marketing agents faced in the Chibuku value chain, the study also considered the importance of training for the performance of the agents. The research design that guided the research problem comprised of transforming qualitative arguments into variables to create quantitative data. The population for this research was made up of Chibuku marketing agents, Cervejas de Moçambique (Mozambique Brewer) management staff representatives and the Ministries of Trade, Labour and Finance officials. The sampling technique was convenient for the agents, those that were available at the business centres at the time of data collection were interviewed. The researcher used purposive sampling to access participants with relevant knowledge and experience for the Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM) and different Ministries. Findings from the study revealed that there was management support from suppliers, Ministries of Labour, Finance and Trade to enhance the performance of marketing agents’ in Chibuku inclusive value chain that was important for inclusion in the value chain, as well as collaboration between marketing agents and supplier. This collaboration was significant as it helped the agents to perform better and overcome challenges faced in the business. The challenges were also minimized through management training. The study also found that management training provided by the brewer to marketing agents helped them run the business more efficiently and perform better in the Chibuku inclusive value chain. The major recommendation was that management support should be delivered during training in the working environment as an on-the-job training during the acquisition of abilities and knowledge needed to work in the business setting Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZOU Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Chibuku Beer Inclusive Value Chain Livelihood Marketing Agents Opaque Beer value chain https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/a4d6ed9862e4bc901d64c6a181ed790f.pdf 14d77656d08166983cfea4248bb93944 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 PROMISE AND FAILURE OF CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT IN SADC Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CHIPFUNDE DAISY Description An account of the resource This study investigates the implementation of continuous assessment (CA) in higher education within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, addressing the challenges educators face and the potential benefits of this approach. Grounded in the Constructivist Learning Theory, which emphasises active engagement and knowledge construction, the research highlights how CA can enhance student learning outcomes through ongoing feedback and tailored teaching strategies. A desktop review methodology was employed, analysing 30 relevant studies, reports and policy documents published between 2020 and 2023. Key findings revealed that while teachers recognised the value of CA in promoting student engagement and improving learning, they often feel unprepared to implement it effectively due to inadequate training, infrastructural challenges and socio-economic factors affecting both educators and students. The findings from the desktop review revealed that teachers in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region have mixed experiences with the implementation of continuous assessment (CA). Many educators recognise the potential benefits of CA, such as promoting student engagement and providing ongoing feedback to enhance learning outcomes. The study underscores the need for targeted professional development, improved resource allocation and supportive school leadership to facilitate the successful adoption of continuous assessment practices. Through these efforts, the potential of CA can be realised, contributing to a more equitable educational environment in the SADC Region.

Title A name given to the resource THE RELEVANCE AND ORIENTATION OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN ZIMBABWE: ALIGNING WITH EDUCATION 5.0 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CASSIAN MAKOTA A. T. MUNZARA TICHAONA MAPOLISA Description An account of the resource This paper seeks to understand and explain the relevance and orientation of teacher education (TE) in Zimbabwe and is based on the multiple case study carried out by the author. Preliminary study identified a gap in form of a misalignment of teacher education with Higher and Tertiary Education 5.0 policy in so far as entrepreneurship, innovation and industrialisation were lacking in TE curriculum and practice. The new government policy of Education 5.0 was perceived to have revealed a misalignment between the practiced Education 3.0 and the intended Heritage Based Education 5.0 Curriculum, because of the absence of entrepreneurship and innovation for industrialisation and sustainable development in the former. The study sought to add to literature on entrepreneurship and innovation in teacher education and also promote the development of entrepreneurial and innovative teacher graduates for industrialisation through heritage-based education 5.0 pre and in-service teacher education system in the context of sustainable development. This study was guided by the constructivist philosophy and the interpretivist paradigm. The study adopted the qualitative research approach and the embedded multiple case study method because of the flexibility and diversity in data generation that they allow. The study utilised the three case sites (teachers colleges) within the broader teacher education case in Zimbabwe and that explains the embeddedness. The purposive, non-random probability sampling procedure, featuring judgemental and convenience sampling was employed in the study. Data generation process involved key and other informant interviews, focus group discussion, observations and qualitative document analysis. Data was presented and analysed using the thematic and N-vivo approaches respectively. The study found that there was misalignment between the practiced Education 3.0 teacher education curriculum and the intended Heritage based, HTE 5.0 informed curriculum and this was causing policy- practice dissonance that could be inhibiting the realisation of SDGs, and thus called for curriculum alignment and harmonisation through transformation. This study, therefore, suggested and recommended the Programmatic Framework for Entrepreneurial Teacher Education for the Zimbabwean context. The study contributes to policy alignment discourse by making multiple theoretical insights. The study, therefore, complements the extant perspectives on curriculum policy alignment and teacher education for industrialisation and sustainable economic growth Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Global Scientific Journal Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Design Thinking Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship Education Heritage Based Education 5.0 innovation sustainable development Teacherpreneur. https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/51ad809448cc093dd35636b56ebc7731.pdf 08a211df69268580b93d4b0f9e7c3b1e 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 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. The study encourages participation by people with physical disabilities in community activities and thus establishes and enhances social interaction as well as builds strong relationships with persons who are physically disabled in community development programs Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Research Journal in Organizational Psychology & Educational Studies Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Counselling Disability Physical Disability stigma https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/85d35b0234e6c972dabba1085fb4f454.pdf 3ed4fd69ea9c71e278b98ac7680f2e0f 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 RIGHT TO REASONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAPIWA GIVEMORE KASUSO GIFT MANYATERA Description An account of the resource The so-called ‘third wave’ of democratisation in Africa has witnessed a transition from a culture of impunity in the exercise of public power to more emphasis on a culture based on legality and the protection of fundamental rights of citizens. Important strides have been made in enhancing accountability by those who wield public power through judicial review mechanisms. The right to reasons for any administrative action that has an impact on citizens becomes even more paramount in light of these shifts in democratic ethos. This article focuses on the right to reasons for adverse administrative action in Zimbabwe against the backdrop of the 2013 Constitution, which ushered in the dawn of a new era in so far as the scope of the right to just administrative action is concerned. A critical examination of the nature and scope of the right to reasons is undertaken. Insightful recommendations are then proffered to further enhance the practical meaning of the right in the context of the constitutionally entrenched right to just administrative action in Zimbabwe Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available UNISA: Southern African Public Law Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 accountability administrative authority Administrative Justice Act adverse administrative action Constitution judicial review Right to reasons transparency Zimbabwe
