Title A name given to the resource ZIMBABWEAN INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS (ZIK) - IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CURRICULUM Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE ANYWAY KATANHA Description An account of the resource First part of the paper, examined conceptual issues associated with Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IK), including the nature of the intersection between Science and IK. We reflected on methodological pluralism, and knowledge production. Intellectual property rights and empowerment are examined. We then explored the multiple linkages between IK and the curriculum, in terms of needs, goals, teaching strategies and instructional resources. We reflect on anticipated outcomes and methods of evaluation. We also discussed the role of the library media center, and the library consultant, in curriculum planning with respect to IK. Our emphasis was on those components of IK which describe, explain, predict and try to negotiate nature. Firstly we explore some curriculum models and approaches relevant to our discourse, and various dimensions of teaching, learning and researching Zimbabwe Indigenous Knowledge (ZIK), through the use of 'oral traditions' and other methodologies. Secondly we provided specific instructional guidelines on African Traditional Medicine, Mathematics and Food Processing, Selected readings and multimedia resources are identified along with current instructional and research challenges. We specified whether ZIK, has specific implications for democratization, community empowerment, nation building, sustainable development, capacity building and intellectual development in Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole, in the 21st century.

Title A name given to the resource ZIMBABWE’S FAST TRACK LAND REFORM PROGRAMME (FTLRP): A TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL POLICY APPROACH TO MUPFURUDZI RESETTLEMENT (SHAMVA DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TOM TOM PHILLIPA MUTSWANGA Description An account of the resource The paper analyses Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) as a social policy instrument. Mupfurudzi Farm in Shamva district was used as a case study. Five tasks of the Transformative Social Policy Framework (TSPF) were analysed in a single study. These are production, protection, social reproduction, redistribution and social cohesion/nation building. Analysing and improving the transformative role of the land and agrarian reforms in Zimbabwe is the aim of the study. The study shows that prime land is a key social, economic and political resource whose ownership and use improves the wellbeing of the beneficiaries. However, the study also points to various hurdles to greater transformation. These could be managed through stakeholder networking and collaboration on capacity building and farm management skills, input schemes and loans, infrastructural development, security of tenure and state-facilitated markets. Key words and phrases: transformation, development, social policy, land reform and agrarian reform.

Title A name given to the resource ZIMBABWE’S E-GOVERNMENT READINESS AND ADOPTION OF CLOUD-BASED RECORDS MANAGEMENT IN THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GODFREY TSVUURA SHEPARD MUTSAU KUDZAI DORCAS MBAWUYA Description An account of the resource Zimbabwe is one of the developing countries striving to reach a middle economy status by year 2030. In its bid to achieve this vision, it has adopted an electronic government strategy (e-government strategy) where government business is done electronically. An e-government strategy is a plan for e-government systems and their supporting infrastructure, which maximises the ability of government to achieve its objective of Vision 2030. An e-government strategy must give direction where the government is going, its goals, vision, mission, and some implementation guidelines. In order to reach this objective, the government has to become more accountable and transparent on its journey to Vision 2030, and one of its key drivers is proper records and archives management. Properly managed electronic government records bring about accountability, transparency, and good governance.

A total of 150 self-administered questionnaires were distributed through Regional Centres to collect data on employment status, further study intentions, programme perceptions, and skill acquisition. Findings showed that most respondents were adult learners, with a mean age of 40.2 years, and that 91.7% expressed the intention to pursue further studies, most preferring ZOU. Employment outcomes were diverse, with graduates largely absorbed in tertiary education, government and banking sectors. Respondents rated the FCL programmes as highly contributory to organisational, leadership, problem-solving and teamwork skills, but less effective in enhancing computer literacy and technical knowledge. Overall, the programmes were perceived as relevant to current jobs and the labour market, though areas such as ICT integration and industry linkages require strengthening. The study concluded that while ZOU FACOM effectively supported human capital development, curriculum adjustments and enhanced delivery mechanisms were essential to sustain competitiveness and graduate employability Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 Curriculum Relevance Graduate Employability Open and Distance Learning Tracer Study https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/c0cebdbae87756798b1d8434f3040336.pdf d321435b544c638f1f150dae86808d68 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 YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT AND ITS PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS ON CAREER DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF GOKWE RURAL COMMUNITY, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JUDITH CHIFAMBA MBWIRIRE JOHN Description An account of the resource This study sought to evaluate the effects of unemployment on youth career development in Gokwe Rural Community, Zimbabwe. Employing a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, the research involved a population of 375 individuals, with a final sample size of 104 participants—90 for quantitative data (88 completed questionnaires) and 14 for qualitative insights. Sampling techniques included purposive, random and convenience sampling. Data were collected from youths, community members, ward councillors and Ministry of Youth officials. The findings revealed that high unemployment rates significantly contributed to psychological challenges, such as depression and anxiety, which adversely affect self-esteem and motivation. Economically, the study highlighted a concerning trend of stagnation, as educated youths often migrate to rural areas in search of better opportunities, further exacerbating local poverty. The results underscored the urgent need for targeted youth development programmes aimed at enhancing employability and providing psychological support to improve overall well-being Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 career development community development economic stagnation mental health and employment psychological effects Youth unemployment https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/58f577becb57744c3c9d3c8c951777d7.pdf d5c7924cef590e1118bfdb89831f928c 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 WORKPLACE COUNSELLING AS A REMEDY FOR BURNOUT: A CASE STUDY OF OPERATIONAL NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION SECTOR RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES IN MIDLANDS REGION OF ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SHEPHERD SHUMBA Description An account of the resource The study investigated whether workplace counselling was a remedy for burnout which operational nongovernmental organisation (NGO) employees experience. The study was prompted by the fact that in Zimbabwe there is no recommended solution to the problem of burnout. This study was premised on the qualitative research design rooted in the interpretivist paradigm and was conducted in four operational NGOs responding to humanitarian emergencies in Midlands Region of Zimbabwe. The sample was made up of 8 participants from management, 22 employees from field staff to get a total of 30 participants purposively sampled. Data were generated through open ended questionnaires, interviews, observation and document analysis. Ethical considerations were met through seeking permission and informed consent from the selected NGOs and participants. Grounded theory was used as the basis for the analysis. The results were centred on four themes which were causes of burnout, current methods being used to prevent and treat burnout and their shortfalls and counselling as a means to deal with burnout. The findings showed that participants knew what burnout is and indicated that it is characterised by exhaustion, lack of enthusiasm and motivation and feeling 'drained. Findings on causes of burnout indicated that overworking and irrational thinking were some of the major causes of burnout. The research results also indicated that burnout negatively affects employees, resulting in diminished accomplishments, reduced efficacy, absenteeism, physical illness, reduced commitment and professionalism. On current methods of treatment of burnout, results indicate that employees largely rely on generic counselling, natural approach and medication. However, participants pointed out that burnout cannot be treated by medicine since it is not an infectious illness. Moreso, drugs cannot change irrational thinking that promotes burnout and drugs whip the adrenals. Findings showed that counselling can treat burnout through behaviour modification and change in lifestyle. Hence, it can be concluded that counseling is a remedy for burnout. The first key recommendation is that workplace counselling should be provided by NGOs to employees as a remedy to burnout that employees experience and counselling should be theory driven for it to be effective and professional. I further recommend that medical treatment be used to treat symptoms of burnout.

Title A name given to the resource WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN RESOLVING CHURCH CONFLICTS. A CASE OF THE SALVATION ARMY, BINDURA CITADEL, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C MASUNUNGURE J MBWIRIRE Description An account of the resource This study investigates women’s participation in resolving church conflicts. The study used a mixed method approach combining focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and congregants survey. The findings of the study were that women in the Salvation Army Church, Bindura Citadel were actively participating in resolving church conflicts through counseling, mediation, negotiation, and facilitation and by being members of the powerful Pastoral Care Council whose main role was to hear matters referred from the lower echelons of the church. It was established that the church was organized and administered in military style with all congregants referred to as “soldiers” and leadership titles bearing military ranks. The church faced the challenge of male domination due to the patriarchal nature of African and church communities, lack of self confidence and esteem as well as the lack of support from fellow women. The study recommended that women be trained and encouraged to participate and support one another in resolving church conflicts.

Title A name given to the resource WOMEN RE-DEFINING THEMSELVES IN THE CONTEXT OF HIV AND AIDS: INSIGHTS FROM TENDAYI WESTERHOF’S UNLUCKY IN LOVE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ANNA CHITANDO Description An account of the resource 8 Women Re-defining Themselves in the Context of HIV and AIDS: Insights from Tendayi Westerhof’s Unlucky in Love Anna Chitando Introduction In a literary landscape that has been dominated by male voices, Westerhof’s auto/biographical text subverts several assumptions, principally the unstated underprivileging of female agency. She fur- ther performs a sacrilegious desecration through a triumphalist nar- rative of a taboo subject: HIV and AIDS and openly celebrating her personhood, even though mired in divorce and disease. This chapter focuses on Westerhof’s Unlucky in Love (2005), a novel about a woman who marries and divorces. Rumbidzai (Rumbi for short) is a mother of four. She is HIV positive and strives to make her life meaningful in an environment that is characterised by oppressive masculinities. This chapter attempts to resolve what has been left hanging by Tagwira with regards women’s vulnerability to HIV and AIDS, their survival strategies, as well as their attempt to reconstruct positive identi- ties. Theoretically, this chapter is informed by the critical works of African womanists and feminists such as Grace, Saadawi, Gaidzanwa and Moyana. Saadawi (2007) insists that women must refuse to suc- cumb to patriarchal dictates. In a recent chapter on Saadawi, Zucker (2010) has brought out Saadawi’s determination to empower women. Firdaus, a key personality in Saadawi’s Woman at Point Zero, murders a man and recovers control of her destiny. Zucker comments on the novel: In Woman at Point Zero, El Saadawi shows us what a human being will do in spite of cultural sufferings to feel some degree of personal power and freedom. She has woven a multi-generic tale of a woman whose life embodies an inter-gendered outlook; Firdausi has suffered as women do in her culture and has grad- ually assumed aspects of masculine power generally off-limits to Egyptian women. Indeed, her coming to power results from her re-authoring her life against the gendered constraints of her soci- ety. Firdaus earns her own money and decides how to publicly spend it. She selects the job that avails her of a better lifestyle and chooses with whom she will or will not have sex. And finally, she acts out her rage at the appropriate target. (Zucker 2010:248–249) This powerful passage demonstrates that, when cornered, women are willing to “murder” patriarchy in order to re-define themselves and recover their agency. Gaidzanwa (1985:14) questions male author- ity that only feels that “motherhood is respectable and held in high esteem as long as it goes with or is preceded by socially approved wifehood”. How men prescribe inferior roles that women have to play in society is also underscored by Moyana (2006), whose anal- ysis of the portrayal of women in some of Mungoshi’s short stories shows that women are supposed to be underlings in society. Moyana goes on to show that, against this phallocentric logic, some female characters are determined to defy patriarchy and that it is these assertive women who create the basis from which it is conceivable to imagine that women can challenge the multiple sources of their oppressions. Ngoshi and Pasi (2007) add that the agency of people affected by HIV and AIDS must be framed as subjects, not objects. These perspectives on women struggling to realise their freedoms in a context of HIV and AIDS and the male-induced stigma are used in this chapter to unravel how black women fight for their voices and to be heard in predominantly patriarchal and capitalist society Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Palgrave Macmillan Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource 2014 HIV nd AIDS Women https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/5dce336b1b72491a6892443ab2f83c71.pdf 47b15700e70e215033aadab4f757e226 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 WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The primary aim of the study was to uncover demographic and socio-economic details and reasons for opting for open and distance learning. Although the focus was on women learners, the study adopted a gender approach in assessing access to university education through open and distance learning in order to study both men and women. This helped to interrogate, articulate and analyse the gender construction of distance education learners and delivery of open and distance learning at the Zimbabwe Open University. Women constitute a substantial proportion of those marginalised by conventional systems of learning at university level. The problems of access to tertiary education are mostly restrictive socio-economic factors. Data collection techniques included interviews, focus groups and document reviews. Using the elicitation approach, forty-five learners and seven graduates were selected on the basis of representativeness in terms of academic level and discipline. Data were analysed using statistical tests and descriptive or thematic analysis. The study revealed that a significant number of respondents were working married women with children who found open and distance learning framework more compatible with their multiple tasks; household chores, education, wage work, family, relatives and community at large. The findings showed that open and distance learning helped women to circumvent constraints of time, space, resources and socio-economic barriers thereby significantly contributing to their empowerment.

Title A name given to the resource WOMEN ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: ITS PROSPECTS AND LIMITATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF HARARE METROPOLITAN PROVINCE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TANAKA MOREJOY MANGO BARBARA MBUYISA Description An account of the resource This study investigated the prospects and limitations of women's economic empowerment in Harare, Zimbabwe, focusing on the experiences within the Harare Metropolitan Province. Employing a case study design, this research utilised qualitative data gathered through semi- structured interviews and questionnaires with women engaged in various economic activities. The study examined the complex interplay of factors influencing women's economic agency, including decision-making authority, access to resources, and sociocultural barriers. The findings revealled that while women in Harare demonstrated significant entrepreneurial drive and resilience, they continued to face challenges such as limited market access, discriminatory practices, and the double burden of work and domestic responsibilities. The study underscored the need for integrated interventions that addressed both economic and socio-cultural constraints to achieve meaningful women's economic empowerment. Recommendations included policy reform, targeted support programmes, and awareness campaigns to challenge gender stereotypes. This research contributed to a deeper understanding of the local dynamics shaping women's economic participation in urban Zimbabwe and highlighted the importance of context-specific approaches to promote gender equality and sustainable development.

Title A name given to the resource WHY DO FEMALE STREET VENDORS EARN LESS THAN MALE STREET VENDORS IN HARARE? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA STANLEY IDANAI MURANGWA Description An account of the resource The study explored the factors that influenced income disparities betweenmaleand female street vendors in Harare, the capital city ofZimbabwe.Qualitative data collection techniques used in the study included in-depth personal interviews, focus group discussions, direct observations and document reviews. The study observed three categories of street vendors, namely, stationary, peripatetic and mobile vendors. Although street vending reflected the face of a woman in Harare, a majority of the female street vendors earned less than their male counterparts. The reasons for low sales and hence low daily incomes for female street vendors were varied and includeddisruptions caused by household chores including child-care; stiff competition from rising number of street vendors;men grabbed bigger vending space and more strategic vending sites; low capital investment; a majority of women traded in low volume and perishable goods such as vegetables, fruits and cooked food and less lucrative goods; female street vendors had less access to productive tools and financial capital and worked as commission agents or employees of other vendors; gender bias towards some goods like leather and electronic products which generally required a substantial investment that could only be made by male vendors and female street vendors operated in insecure and illegal spaces where they became easy targets of eviction and confiscation. The major problem faced by women vendors was that street vending was illegal in Zimbabwe.

Title A name given to the resource WHO IS DISENGAGING THE GEAR? IS SCHOOL LEADERSHIP THE IMPEDIMENT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW CURRICULUM IN ZIMBABWE? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PAUL MUPA Description An account of the resource School leadership is there to build ‘learning bridges’ between learners and the curriculum content (Everand, Morris & Wilson, 2004, p. x). This study seeks to investigate challenges that school leadership face in the implementation of the new curriculum in Zimbabwean primary schools. It particularly examines the dissonance between the current implementation level and the expected standard of implementation. The implementation of a new curriculum requires effective school leadership (Bennett, Crawford & Cartwright, 2003). The key stakeholder in the process of curriculum implementation in any education system is school leadership.

Title A name given to the resource WHO IS DISENGAGING THE GEAR? IS SCHOOL LEADERSHIP THE IMPEDIMENT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW CURRICULUM IN ZIMBABWE? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PAUL MUPA Description An account of the resource School leadership is there to build ‘learning bridges’ between learners and the curriculum content (Everand, Morris & Wilson, 2004, p. x). This study seeks to investigate challenges that school leadership face in the implementation of the new curriculum in Zimbabwean primary schools. It particularly examines the dissonance between the current implementation level and the expected standard of implementation. The implementation of a new curriculum requires effective school leadership (Bennett, Crawford & Cartwright, 2003). The key stakeholder in the process of curriculum implementation in any education system is school leadership. This article argues that school leadership should have a clear picture of what to do and how for effective implementation of any new curriculum. The curriculum introduced in Zimbabwe is not spared.

Title A name given to the resource WEANING AGE/TIME BASED MODEL INFLUENCING PERFORMANCE IN GOATS AND SHEEP MEAT PRODUCTION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEVER ASSAN Description An account of the resource Weaning is an essential animal husbandry intervention which has<br />been associated with nutritional stress that interferes with both animal’s<br />behavioral and physiological responses consequently influencing post<br />weaning growth performance in goats and sheep production. The timing<br />of weaning and/or weaning age of kids/lambs becomes critical in<br />determination of flock performance with the intention of maximizing<br />meat productivity and improving profitability. There are two possibilities<br />that exist in deciding on weaning age of kids/lambs, thus early and late<br />weaning, however, the decision on when to wean is dependent mainly<br />on the production environment and purpose, as well as the dam<br />welfare. Age at weaning differ greatly in sheep and goats, therefrom 14<br />days to natural weaning, and exceeding four months of age. In sheep<br />production effective early weaning has been practiced untimely at 14<br />days; in goats’ kids have been weaned early successfully at 28 days. Early<br />weaning is considered traditionally weaning ahead of the 90 days of age;<br />60 days is most widely used; age thereafter qualifies for late weaning.<br />The age at weaning greatly influences post weaning animal<br />performance, however if not timed properly it would impact negatively<br />also on weaner survival rates. Weaning itself is a very stressful<br />procedure and subjecting kids/lambs to further stress which directly<br />impinge on the kid/lamb’s immunity consequently increasing their<br />susceptibility to diseases and reduced weight gain. There is need for age<br />of weaning to balance the potential positive impacts on the ewes/does<br />to rebreed, with potential negative impacts on the kid/lamb growth<br />performance and survivability. Early weaning has become an effective husbandry practice especially in advanced goat and sheep production<br />systems, which focuses on shortened female breeding reproductive<br />cycle, while enhancing meat productivity through increased frequency of<br />kidding/lambing. It is important to consider weaning age in relation to<br />nutritional strategies which provide adequate time for diet transition<br />which is intended not to compromise feed utilization and feed<br />conversion efficiency in kids/lambs consequently reducing growth<br />performance. The effectiveness of weaning age and anticipated live<br />weight gains post-weaning is dependent on nutritional management<br />especially concentrate supplementation which may promote<br />performance and productivity in pastured based systems. Late weaning<br />is probably convenient for less prolific goat and sheep breeds and<br />genotypes not selected for their growth potential. It should be<br />acknowledged that there is interaction between weaning age with other<br />factors such as nutrition, sex and weight of animal. Some of the goat and<br />sheep producers worldwide have shifted to use of weight based<br />weaning model, similar age but with different weights, heavier lambs<br />have superior development efficiency during lactation.

The study also focused on discovering what information needs exist among urban ratepayers about waste disposal. A descriptive survey design was used and involved informants from Bindura Municipality. These included council officials, ratepayers and the business community. The main questions of pursuit were: • What challenges face the town in its efforts to dispose of solid wastes? • What information about waste disposal do ratepayers of the town have? • What linkages should exist between local authority and ratepayers to ensure effective waste disposal? The data collected were transcribed and themes developed in line with existing theories. Percentage frequencies were also computed for the quantitative data. It was hoped that the results of the study would help to create baseline knowledge for funding proposals in waste management.

Title A name given to the resource VINE HARVESTING FREQUENCY IMPACT ON TUBER YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF COMMONEST SWEET POTATO CULTIVAR IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C. MVUMI B. ZENDERA B. MASHAYAMOMBE Description An account of the resource Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) root tubers and vines are important for human and animal nutritional requirements, respectively; the vines being additionally used for propagation, but root tuber yield is greatly affected by vine harvesting frequency. This study aimed at assessing the potential effect of vine harvesting frequency of sweet potato German 11 cultivar on attributes of root tuber yield under sprinkler irrigation after 140 days from planting. Treatments used consisted of vine harvesting once (VHO) at 8 weeks after planting, 2 times (VH2T) at 8 and 10 weeks after planting; 3 times (VH3T) at 8, 10 and 12 weeks after planting; and 4 times (VH4T) at 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks and at 14 weeks after planting. No vine harvesting was the control. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Results revealed that vine harvesting frequency had a relative effect on all root tuber yield attributes of sweet potato. The lower the vine harvesting frequency the higher the yield obtained. Vines harvested once (VHO) at 8 weeks significantly (P<0.001) increased root tuber dry matter (DM) (29.3%) and total root tuber yield (14.5 t ha-1) as compared to VH4T, and also gave optimum results in all the root tuber yield parameters measured.

Title A name given to the resource VIABILITY OF SMALLHOLDER DAIRYING IN WEDZA, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PLAXEDIS IVY ZVINOROVA TINYIKO EDWARD HALIMANI RENNETH T. MANO NOBBERT TAKARWIRWA NGONGONI Description An account of the resource Viability differences in smallholder dairy farming are a result of differences in access to markets and services. It is hypothesized that innovations that improve productivity and market linkages also improve returns and viability. The viability of smallholder dairying in Wedza was characterised by interviewing 52 households using semi-structured ques- tionnaires. Information on demographics, production, mar- keting, livestock numbers, assets and constraints was obtained. Farmers were resource-constrained with differen- ces in access to resources. The highly resourced farmers had higher milk output and numbers of livestock. Almost 40 % of the households were female-headed, and these dominated the poor category. Household sizes ranged from 4 to 13 persons. Milk off-take was low (3.7±0.53 l/cow/day), due to various constraints. Only rich farmers had viable enter- prises in purely financial terms. Per litre cost of milk was more than selling price (US$0.96) for most farmers except the relatively rich. Operating ratios were 1.7, 0.6, 1.4 and 1.1 for the poor, rich, sub-centre and milk collection centre farmers, respectively. This means incomes from the dairy activities did not cover costs. Sensitivity analysis indicated that increases in total variable costs and labour reduced returns. Milk production and viability were influenced by access to resources and markets.

Title A name given to the resource UTILIZING INTERVENTIONIST - PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH STRATEGIES IN ESTABLISHING THE EFFICACY OF E-LEARNING TECHNOLOGY IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DAVID CHAKUCHICHI Description An account of the resource Research in open and distance learning (ODL), in an era of technological advancement, e-learning innovations, social inclusion and multiculturalism, should essentially take cognisance of the cognitive situates of the participants. The interventionist participatory approach, grounded in the critical inquiry research paradigm. was found to be most appropriate in establishing efficacy of e-learning technology since it is open, descriptive, critical, interactive and eclectic while fostering the co-construction of meanings by both researchers and participants. Most importantly, interventionist participatory approaches enable ODL practitioners and participants to be active in analyzing issues and finding solutions to their problems in the face of e-learning technology. E- learning which involves the students’ interface with a whole range of information computer technology creates a new culture in ODL. Online programmes are fast becoming the norm for a student population that lacks the requisite skills. E- learning therefore presents anxieties as students try to fit in the new ODL environment. Appropriate evidence based research strategies are therefore imperative in order to establish the efficacy of the e-learning technology in the context of the ODL practitioner and students. Traditional research strategies still ignore the complex interaction between technological interventions and learner capacities to utilize them. In ODL, both practitioners and participants need to be integral in the process of problem analysis, development of solutions and the strengthening and formation of initiatives which give the ODL students a voice to define the efficacy of the e-learning innovations at their disposal. The interventionist-participatory research strategies take into consideration the role and complexities of the social contexts of the ODL learner and the potential for influencing ODL practices, products and programmes. Thus interventionist participatory strategies are well placed as evidence based research strategies to evaluate the efficacy of e-learning technology and in the transformation of ODL theory and practice Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Distance association of Southen Africa (DEASA) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 e-learning Interventionist Open and Distance Learning https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/ca136be16e38dbd9694ca0d6a3fe2188.pdf a556b2d6c142e97cf2ac3a2cf58601d3 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 UTILIZING FORENSIC ACCOUNTING TOOLS FOR ENHANCING FRAUD PREVENTION AND DETECTION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR: AN EXAMINATION OF ZIMBABWEAN LOCAL AUTHORITIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SILIBAZISO ZHOU (P009156A) Description An account of the resource Fraud poses a significant challenge to the public sector in Zimbabwe, with severe consequences. Local authorities are tasked with developing effective strategies to combat fraud. This study aimed to investigate how the application of forensic accounting techniques can enhance fraud prevention and detection within Zimbabwe's public sector, focusing on local authorities crucial for achieving Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030. Operational objectives were outlined, and quantitative data was collected. Drawing on pragmatism as the research philosophy, information was gathered from a representative sample of 280 participants, including accountants, internal auditors, forensic specialists, administrators, and law enforcement officials within local authorities. A structured 5- point Likert questionnaire was employed, guided by the Reasoned Action theory. Through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach assessed the impact of forensic accounting's fraud prevention and detection techniques, alongside forensic accounting services, on actual fraud prevention and detection mechanisms in urban local authorities. The results indicated that the use of forensic accounting's fraud detection techniques had the most significant influence, followed by prevention techniques and then forensic accounting services. The study concluded that local authorities leveraging forensic accounting for detection and prevention are better equipped to unearth and prevent fraudulent activities. Challenges were identified, including educational, political, and legal obstacles hindering the effectiveness of forensic accounting. To address these issues, the study recommends that local authorities prioritize the adoption of forensic accounting techniques as a primary defense against fraud. It suggests enhanced training for External Auditors and internal auditors in fraud investigation over traditional auditing methods. Additionally, it calls for governmental reassessment of existing laws and regulations, emphasizing the urgent need for the Forensic Accounting Act and whistle-blowing legislation. The study also proposes a forensic accounting fraud detective tool tailored for local authority use.

Title A name given to the resource USING LIVELIHOOD PROFILES FOR ASSESSING CONTEXT IN ICT4D RESARCH: A CASE STUDY OF ZIMBABWE’S HIGHVELD PRIME COMMUNAL Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SAM TAKAVARASHA JR GILFORD HAPANYENGWI GABRIEL KABANDA Description An account of the resource The importance of context specific ICT4D innovation has been highlighted in Information Systems research by the short-comings of a-contextual innovation. This has often been accepted without due understanding of how to develop context specific interventions. There is therefore a need for a framework that elucidates ICT4D contextualisation and guides the development of context specific interventions. This should be useful to practitioners that are constantly advised to develop context specific artefacts without any clarity of how to do so. Using evidence from Zimbabwe this paper proposes the use of livelihood profiles for identifying the livelihood issues that matter in a particular locality and Sen’s Capability Approach for assessing the opportunity freedoms to exploit the local livelihoods. This is presented as a systematic way of establishing the context under which ICT4D interventions will be deployed. The study uses focus groups under an interpretivist paradigm to investigate contextual issues in Zimbabwe Highveld Prime Communal livelihood zone. The study found a politically polarised contextual setting characterised by poor agricultural finance, ineffective crop and livestock markets, unrewarding labour markets against a good agricultural climate that is affected by cyclical droughts. As a result the study posits that ICT4D innovations for the zone must be designed to operate under these realities and limitations Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available EJISDC Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/dfa34ce92a2c94532f9bbf079a322d5a.pdf 4e9b671941a014607034aa577f4a8e5a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
