Title A name given to the resource EXAMINING THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF THE EDUCATION 5.0 MODEL AMONG UNIVERSITY LECTURERS IN SELECTED STATE UNIVERSITIES IN ZIMBABWE. SIBANDA MUNYIKA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MUNYIKA SIBANDA Description An account of the resource This study explores the level of awareness and understanding of the Education 5.0 model among university lecturers in four selected state universities in Zimbabwe. Introduced as part of the National Vision 2030 agenda, Education 5.0 represents a paradigm shift in Zimbabwe’s higher and tertiary education policy by expanding the traditional triad of teaching, research and community service to include innovation and industrialisation. The model positions universities as engines of economic transformation, requiring academic staff to adopt new roles as innovators and industrialists. However, successful implementation depends on lecturers’ awareness, preparedness and institutional support. Guided by Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory, this study adopted a qualitative research design by employing a multiple case study approach. A purposive sample of 20 lecturers was drawn from four state universities based on their engagement with Education 5.0 initiatives. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically. The findings reveal that while most participants are familiar with the term “Education 5.0,” their understanding is often superficial and fragmented, primarily informed by informal channels such as circulars and occasional workshops. Barriers to effective implementation include limited professional training, inadequate infrastructure, rigid curriculum approval processes, high workloads and weak incentives for innovation. Some lecturers also expressed ideological resistance, citing top-down policy imposition and a lack of contextual adaptation. Despite these challenges, participants endorsed the core principles of Education 5.0 and proposed practical solutions including continuous professional development, enhanced infrastructure, streamlined institutional procedures, performance- mbased incentives and inclusive stakeholder engagement. The study concludes that increasing awareness and support for lecturers is essential for translating the ambitions of Education 5.0 into transformative educational outcomes. Strategic communication, capacity building and policy alignment are recommended to ensure that Zimbabwe’s higher education sector can effectively drive innovation-led industrialisation Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Education Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026 diffusion of innovations theory.

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/55555dc7a467b21c262b426e068b2344.pdf f656f0ba6c653c6f9b2504e10521130b 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 ALIGNING TEACHER EDUCATION WITH EDUCATION 5.0 POLICY IN ZIMBABWE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES 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 explore and explain the challenges and opportunities faced by implementers in aligning teacher education with Higher and Tertiary Education 5.0 policy in Zimbabwe. While this study appreciated the efforts that were being made to align the TE practice with the intended curriculum, it was concerned that possible opportunities were probably not being exploited in the face of emerging curriculum transformation challenges. There was the much publicised misalignment of teacher education with Higher and Tertiary Education 5.0 policy in Zimbabwe. This misalignment scenario culminated in initiatives like the University of Zimbabwe Vice Chancellor’s Teacher Education Curriculum Transformation Programme, meant to address the gaps. However, there seemed to be some emerging challenges that could derail such processes. This study sought to add to literature on teacher education curriculum transformation and also promote the development of entrepreneurial and innovative teacher graduates for industrialisation and sustainable development. This study was guided by the constructivist philosophy and the interpretivist paradigm. The study adopted the qualitative research approach and the multiple case study method because of the flexibility and diversity in data generation that they allow. 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 were emerging challenges and unexploited opportunities in aligning the intended Heritage based, HTE 5.0 informed curriculum with TE practice in Zimbabwe. This study, therefore, suggested and recommended the Programmatic Teacher Education Curriculum Implementation Framework (PTECIF) for the Zimbabwean context. The study contributes to curriculum transformation and policy-practice alignment discourse by making multiple theoretical insights.

Title A name given to the resource AN ASSESSMENT OF THE INNOVATIVE MEASURES EMPLOYED BY SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE HOTELS IN HARARE, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEHEMIYA NDHLOVU Description An account of the resource The study sought to explore innovative measures employed by small to medium size independent hotels. The study employed the interpretivist paradigm and used the qualitative approach with a multiple case-study design. The population of the study comprised all the managers and junior staff in five small to medium size independent hotels in Harare. The sample of the study comprised fourteen managers and thirty junior staff purposively selected from the hotels. Qualitative data were generated through focus group discussions and qualitative interviews and were analysed for content using thematic analysis. Issues of data trustworthiness were addressed. Credibility was achieved by adopting appropriate and well recognised research methods while transferability was achieved through the provision of background data to establish context of the study and to allow comparisons to be made. Dependability was achieved through the use of “overlapping methods” and confirmability was achieved through triangulation and provision of in-depth methodological description. The study found that small to medium size independent hotels in Harare did not effectively implement the innovative measures in the management of business. The study further revealed that there were quite a number of major challenges faced by small to medium size hotels in embracing innovation. The study recommends that SMEs must strategically plan for innovation and effectively implement innovative measures. The study also recommends that small to medium size independent hotels should address innovation in a more integrated and systematic way and should use strategic measures to improve their operations. Further studies need to be conducted across a number of industries and the results should be compared across different industries and in the same industry over time.
