ABSTRACTTeacher learning is a non-linear process that takes place in the context of their practice. As teachers have different roles, moments of learning are created when a deficiency on the part of the teacher or the context is experienced as inhibiting effective teaching and learning. This paper presents the processes of learning when a teacher is confronted by a challenge that affects him and the learners. In rural schools in South Africa, there is a lack of teaching and learning materials, and the impact of such on learning outcomes has been adverse. However, one teacher overcame this situation by using computer simulations. As a result of using this digital teaching and learning tool, an Aha! moment was recognised. The study revealed that computer simulations are curriculum materials that can be used as an interactive source of content and a medium to engage learners and communicate the content. CS presents an opportunity for learners to author their own descriptions of phenomena- an epistemic practice that supports English language learners. Through reflexivity, the teacher adopted a subjectivist view which questions the independent existence of reality and the researcher’s role in researching it. The insights gained in this study have implications for the practice of teachers in rural areas. Moments of learning are created in the context of the practice of teachers. Teachers need to embrace Aha! moments as opportunities for learning and developing the contextual knowledge of teaching to address local concerns.KEYWORDS: Reflectionruralteachinglearningtechnology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

ABSTRACTThe study investigated the relationship between Nigeria’s national questions and ethnic identity crises. The study employed a qualitative approach as its method of data gathering and analysis with the adoption of secondary sources. It contended that Nigeria’s political history is riddled with conflicts and instability occasioned by the crisis of identity which has jeopardised the country’s national unity and political integration. The paper concluded that ethnicity as a major sentiment causes social and political quagmires which constitutes serous national questions and further negatively influences development in Nigeria. As a result, this conundrum not only affects Nigerian national integration but also the level of harmony, patriotism and loyalty to the legitimacy of the Nigerian state. The paper recommended that, to stem the tide of ethnicity crises, there is the need to demystify and deconstruct ethnicity, regionalism and promote, through dogged political mobilisation and sensitisation, a sense of belonging among the diverse groups that constitute the Nigerian state.KEYWORDS: Conflictsethnicityethno-nationalismmarginalisationpoliticsrestructuring Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsUtibe Monday TitusUtibe Monday Titus is a lecturer at Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, Nigeria.

ABSTRACTThe spread and prevalence of COVID-19 in several countries had effected several parts of human relations, political governance and shuttered individual and corporate livelihoods. While works have being developed to provide understanding of the issues related to COVID-19 pandemic, the focus of such works has largely been on industrialised world, neglecting Africa. But undeniable is that the pandemic created new ways of social relations and affected economic well-being on the continent. Using online research survey instrument, the paper examined the effects of COVID-19 containment measures, its effects on social relations, and its effect on individual and household economy. All the 325 respondents, who were randomly selected from across the country to participate in the survey, returned the online questionnaire. Inferential and descriptive statistics were utilised for data analysis. Among others, the paper found that as a result of the COVID-19 induced social distancing and lockdown in Nigeria, economically, individual and household finances and income declined; and socially, Nigerians were separated from friends, families and colleagues, and were deprived of their social lifestyle, which were negative for their mental health. It concluded that COVID-19; and social distancing and lockdown had adverse effect on the social and economic life of Nigerians.KEYWORDS: COVID-19socio-economicsocial distancinglockdownNigeria Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Consent to publish statementThe authors of this research hereby give full consent for the research findings to be published as presented in the manuscript.Informed consent from participantsParticipants for the online survey were randomly selected, and a statement of to confirm the interest of the participant to take part in the survey, or decline to take part, was attached to the survey.

However, little is known about the nature of the designed policies and how the citizens lived with the designed policies in Ghana. This paper attempts a retrospective exploratory account of the COVID-19 policies in Ghana through an amalgamation lens of design matrix and activity theory from 15 March to 10 July 2020. The population for the study was the COVID-19 policies adopted by Ghana. Out of 16 countries in West Africa with COVID-19 cases, Ghana was selected due to the online availability of its COVID-19 policies and the fact that the policies were in English. Content analysis was used to gather data on Ghana COVID-19 policies and innovative scenarios used for living with the designed policies. The results show that the designed policies adopted a top down approach and were difficult for the citizens to live with but most were adjusted later, which triggered social and economic challenges for the citizens and were to some extent mitigated by the government and the citizens through innovations. Therefore, the government should leverage ideas from the citizens and engage social designers in policy design through the proposed hybrid-designed model.KEYWORDS: COVID-19activity theorydesignpolicyinnovation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsGinn Bonsu AssibeyGinn Bonsu Assibey holds a doctorate in Design from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.

ABSTRACTIn the midst of economic downturn about 60 million Nigerians have reportedly taken to betting for various reasons. However, despite growing literature on betting in Nigeria, scholars are yet to examine sports betting in relation to the lived experiences of bettors in Nigeria. Using qualitative method of data collection, this paper analyses the responses from bettors based on their lived experiences. Guided by the rational choice theory, findings show that bettors are guided by cost-benefit analysis in their decision processes from decision to bet to interpretation of betting outcomes (gains and loses). Betting was embraced to make extra money, for entertainment, as hobby and socialization. While winning from betting assisted in starting businesses and payment of utilities; loses was associated with negative outcomes such as depreciated health, strain in family relationships, and trust gaps.KEYWORDS: Sports bettinggamblingrational choice theoryyouthsNational Lottery Regulatory Commission Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

据报道，在经济低迷时期，大约有6000万尼日利亚人由于各种原因开始赌博。然而，尽管越来越多的文献投注在尼日利亚，学者们还没有研究体育博彩在尼日利亚的投注者的生活经验。本文采用定性的数据收集方法，结合投注者的生活经历，分析投注者的反应。在理性选择理论的指导下，研究结果表明，在从决策到下注到对下注结果(收益和损失)的解释的决策过程中，投注者受到成本效益分析的指导。赌博被用来赚取额外的钱，作为娱乐，作为爱好和社交。在投注获胜的同时，协助创业和支付水电费;损失与负面结果有关，如健康状况恶化、家庭关系紧张和信任缺口。关键词:体育博彩赌博;民族选择理论;青少年;国家彩票管理委员会披露声明;先锋报，2022年10月3日:尼日利亚的体育博彩市场有多大?www.vanguardngr.com/2022/10/how-big-is-the-sports-betting-market-in-nigeria/amp/2。所使用的汇率是1美元= 761美元。oludayo Tade在尼日利亚一流大学伊巴丹大学教授犯罪、越轨行为和社会问题。作为美国加州大学欧文分校货币、技术和金融包容性研究所(IMTFI)的研究员，Tade关于博科哈拉姆恐怖主义、网络犯罪/欺诈、犯罪受害者、电影盗版、贩卖儿童、交易性/卖淫和强奸的学术出版物出现在国际社会学和社会政策杂志(IJSSP)、国际受害者学评论(IRV)、金融犯罪杂志(JFC)、国际罪犯治疗与比较犯罪学杂志(IJOTCC)、亚非研究杂志(JAAS)、加拿大非洲研究杂志(CJAS)和侵略、虐待与创伤杂志(JAMT)。Tade是国际罪犯治疗和比较犯罪学杂志(IJOTCC)的编辑委员会成员，Sage担任副主编和非洲犯罪学部分编辑。您可以通过dotad2003@yahoo.com.Chinedu Ernest DinneChinedu与他联系。Ernest Dinne拥有尼日利亚伊巴丹大学社会学系犯罪学博士学位，目前在该校任教。他的专长是犯罪学和刑罚学。他的研究兴趣包括:警察与治安，越轨行为，和平与安全研究。他的联系方式为:dchineduernest@yahoo.comOludare Ibikunle GeorgeOludare Ibikunle George获得伊巴丹大学社会学系犯罪学博士学位。他的研究兴趣包括:社会问题、犯罪受害者和越轨行为。可以通过olugeorgeuisoc@yahoo.com联系到他

ABSTRACTBeing and becoming an Ethiopian has been one of the debating points for Ethiopian Muslims. Throughout the imperial periods of Ethiopia, Muslims were not seen as Ethiopians. They were labeled aliens in their homeland and called ‘Muslims living in Ethiopia.’ Accordingly, for centuries, Islam has not been recognized for its central role in Ethiopia’s socio-political landscape, and Muslims have been regarded as second-class citizens. However, Ethiopian Muslims are indigenous peoples like their Christian fellows. This article assesses the place of Ethiopian Muslims in Ethiopian history and how Ethiopian Muslims have been portrayed in the Ethiopian past by the elites of the country and the state from the 1850s until the 2010s. This article, therefore, focuses on modern Ethiopia’s nation-building and state-making process from the 19th century onwards. A comparison is made regarding the treatment of Ethiopians of Muslims among the imperial Ethiopia, the socialist military, the EPRDF “secular” state, and beyond.KEYWORDS: CitizensEthiopiannessimperial EthiopiaMuslimssecular statesocialist military Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
