Kenya, like other countries in Africa and across the world is in the grip of technological advances leading its agencies and parastatals to digitize their operations. A pertinent question, therefore, is whether adult and community education, in its current packaging in Kenya, is empowering the participants to engage in using e-consumer services actively, meaningfully, and in beneficial ways in their daily transactions. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the level of integration of e-Consumer elements in Adult and Community Education. The study adopted a mixed-method research study targeting adult learners in Nairobi County, adult education officers, and adult education instructors. The study collected data using interviews and questionnaires. The study established that integration of ICT services in adult centers is still facing numerous challenges which are evident by the poor use of e-consumer services by the adult learners.
与非洲和世界其他国家一样,肯尼亚正掌握着技术进步,领导其机构和半国有企业将其业务数字化。因此,一个相关的问题是,肯尼亚目前的成人和社区教育是否授权参与者在日常交易中积极、有意义和有益地使用电子消费服务。因此,本研究旨在探讨成人与社区教育中电子消费要素的整合程度。本研究采用混合研究方法,以内罗毕县成人学习者、成人教育官员和成人教育教师为研究对象。该研究通过访谈和问卷收集数据。该研究表明,成人中心的信息通信技术服务整合仍然面临许多挑战,这从成人学习者对电子消费者服务的不良使用中可以看出。

The research aims to investigate the readiness of self–directed learning, self–efficacy, and the relationship between them in students at the University of Social Science and Humanities Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. The study was administrated with the self-efficacy scale developed by Schwarzer, R., & Jerusalem, M. (1993) and the readiness for self–directed learning scale developed by Fisher et al. (2001, 2010). The total number of students at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City was 12,540 students (according to the second term of the academic year 2020–2021). This study’s sample was calculated with the formula developed by Watson (2001). With a confidence level of 95% and a variable value of 50%, in the results table of Watson's sample size for a total population of 10,000 to 15,000 people, the sample size for this study ranged from 385 to 390 people. The official sample of 395 students was suitable, which could represent the total population according to Watson (2001). Research results showed that the level of self-efficacy and readiness for self–directed learning among students at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City was at an intermediate level. In particular, the results indicated that there was a difference between different academic–year students and readiness for self–directed learning. Research results implied that there was a close correlation between self-efficacy and readiness for self–directed learning in students.
本研究旨在调查胡志明市越南国立大学社会科学与人文学院学生的自主学习准备度、自我效能感及其相互关系。本研究采用Schwarzer, R., & Jerusalem, M.(1993)开发的自我效能量表和Fisher等人(2001,2010)开发的自主学习准备量表。胡志明市越南国立大学社会科学与人文学院学生总数为12540人(根据2020-2021学年第二学期)。本研究的样本采用Watson(2001)开发的公式计算。在置信水平为95%,变量值为50%的情况下,在1万至1.5万人的Watson样本量结果表中,本研究的样本量范围为385至390人。根据Watson(2001)的说法,395名学生的官方样本是合适的,可以代表总人口。研究结果表明,胡志明市越南国立大学社会科学与人文大学学生的自我效能感和自主学习准备水平处于中等水平。特别是,结果表明,不同学年的学生在自主学习的准备程度上存在差异。研究结果表明,学生的自我效能感与自主学习意愿之间存在密切的相关关系。

While extrovert individuals tend to obtain their energy from other people, and they love talk, they interact, participate, lead, and socialize, introvert individuals direct their energy and attention inward and reflect on their own thoughts, memories, and feelings. Based on the introversion-extroversion personality characteristics, the present study sought to determine who performs better in science subjects between introverts and extroverts, and demonstrate these relationships by gender. The assumption was that while science classrooms require a great deal of interaction among the learners, these contrasting dimensions of personality trait could be reflected in classrooms and bear some implications on students’ learning and achievement. We employed a modified Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) to identify students’ personality (N=345) along introversion-extroversion scale and correlated these with their academic performance obtained from their National Form Two (Grade 9) Exam which is considered of high quality and standard. A comparison within sex revealed that introvert girls performed significantly better than extrovert girls whereas extrovert boys performed significantly better than introvert boys. When a comparison was made between sexes, it was revealed that extrovert boys had significantly higher grades compared to extrovert girls while introvert girls had significantly higher grades compared to introvert boys. Overall then, the study revealed a statistically significant correspondence of higher grades with introvert girls and extrovert boys, and lower grades with extrovert girls and introvert boys. The study implications and suggestions are made to inform instruction, guidance, and intervention.
外向的人倾向于从别人那里获得能量,他们喜欢交谈、互动、参与、领导和社交,而内向的人则把精力和注意力集中在自己身上,反思自己的想法、记忆和感受。基于内向-外向的人格特征,本研究试图确定内向者和外向者中谁在科学科目中表现更好,并通过性别来证明这些关系。假设科学课堂需要学习者之间的大量互动,这些人格特质的不同维度可以在课堂上反映出来,并对学生的学习和成就产生一定的影响。本研究采用改进的艾森克人格问卷(EPQ)对345名学生的性格进行了内倾-外倾量表的识别,并将其与高质量、高标准的全国中二(九年级)考试成绩进行了相关性分析。在性别方面的比较表明,内向女孩的表现明显好于外向女孩,而外向男孩的表现明显好于内向男孩。当进行性别比较时,发现外向的男孩的成绩明显高于外向的女孩,而内向的女孩的成绩明显高于内向的男孩。总的来说,研究揭示了统计上显著的对应关系,内向的女孩和外向的男孩成绩越高,外向的女孩和内向的男孩成绩越低。本研究的结论及建议可提供指导、指导及干预。

This paper reports on an online distance learning course that emphasizes the improvement of the self-efficacy beliefs of in-service elementary school teachers in teaching biological concepts. The course utilizes digital educational content and Open Educational Resources (OERs) and focuses on the interaction, peer support, and peer teaching into an online learning environment. In the design framework of the course, we investigated the educational needs of teachers and took into consideration the findings of other studies. A total of 251 teachers were enrolled in the online distance learning course and 142 completed it. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected in November 2020 through the bio-STEBI-A instrument and the posts in the forums of the course. The quantitative results revealed an improvement in both subscales of bio-STEBI-A, which were also confirmed by the qualitative ones, that underline the course, thus contributing to the improvement of self-efficacy beliefs of in-service elementary school teachers in teaching biological concepts. Recommendations are made for future research.

The advent of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) threw the world into pandemonium as most countries were unprepared for its sudden outbreak. Industrialised countries swung into action by applying technology to monitor COVID-19 cases while accentuating research and development (R&D) activities to develop COVID-19 vaccines and drugs. However, Nigeria has not significantly contributed to global research efforts aimed at addressing the challenges posed by the pandemic. This paper applied a case study approach and situational analysis to examine the state of R&D in Nigeria relative to other economies. The paper goes on to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on Nigeria's health sector and the economy at large while emphasising the imperativeness of R&D in effectively handling future outbreaks and, thus, achieving economic and technological catch-up. This study revealed that Nigeria remains a laggard in R&D spending as well as R&D activities, particularly in the health sector as exposed by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. This further reinforces the imperative for Nigeria to significantly and urgently increase its R&D spending not only to combat subsequent health challenges but also to facilitate rapid structural transformation and economic development.
冠状病毒疾病(新冠肺炎)的出现使世界陷入混乱,因为大多数国家对其突然爆发毫无准备。工业化国家采取行动,应用技术监测新冠肺炎病例,同时加强研发活动,开发新冠肺炎疫苗和药物。然而,尼日利亚并没有为旨在应对疫情带来的挑战的全球研究工作做出重大贡献。本文采用案例研究方法和情景分析来考察尼日利亚相对于其他经济体的研发状况。该论文继续调查新冠肺炎对尼日利亚卫生部门和整个经济的影响,同时强调研发在有效应对未来疫情方面的紧迫性,从而实现经济和技术赶超。这项研究表明,尼日利亚在研发支出和研发活动方面仍然落后,特别是在最近新冠肺炎大流行所暴露的卫生部门。这进一步强化了尼日利亚大幅紧急增加研发支出的必要性,不仅是为了应对随后的健康挑战,也是为了促进快速结构转型和经济发展。

Can open government support innovation for inclusive development A South African case study 开放的政府能否支持包容性发展的创新——以南非为例
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-12 DOI: 10.1504/ijtlid.2021.10039526
P. Plantinga, R. Adams
The opening of government in a number of countries has implications for innovation processes and the potential for inclusive development outcomes. After unpacking key thinking around openness and its attendant values, we explore the adoption of open government practices in innovation by considering four instruments: the opening of innovation and technology policy processes, co-creation and collaborative solution development by civil servants, government entities acting as innovation brokers, and public sector procurement of innovation. Through a case study of South Africa, we highlight how innovation actors prioritise particular values of openness over others, oftentimes at the expense of legality and impartiality. This oversight leads to project failures, legitimacy crises and exploitation of openness by more powerful entities. In response, we suggest that public sector innovation programs and platforms can more explicitly recognise and balance different values through appropriate institutional forms and legislation, and thereby enable sustainable application of open government practices.
一些国家的政府开放对创新进程和包容性发展成果的潜力产生了影响。在解开围绕开放及其随之而来的价值观的关键思想后,我们通过考虑四种工具,探索在创新中采用开放的政府实践:开放创新和技术政策流程、公务员共同创建和合作开发解决方案、充当创新经纪人的政府实体以及公共部门创新采购。通过对南非的案例研究,我们强调了创新行为者如何优先考虑开放的特定价值观,而不是其他价值观,通常是以牺牲合法性和公正性为代价的。这种监督导致项目失败、合法性危机以及更强大的实体利用开放性。作为回应,我们建议公共部门的创新计划和平台可以通过适当的制度形式和立法,更明确地认识和平衡不同的价值观,从而实现开放政府实践的可持续应用。

This paper aims to improve the effectiveness of analysis support services for research equipment. We designed the citation index of research equipment in order to improve the efficiency of our research support services, and to reflect the needs of the consumers and the demand agencies. In this paper, we discuss and present the results of an analysis on the citation index of research equipment. We find that according to the choice and focus of R&D, it is more efficient to expand the research equipment with the upper 20% of the demand and reduce the lower 80% of the demand. We are certain that the findings will improve the efficiency of the research equipment analysis services that reflect the needs of the demand agencies. We are also hoping that the findings will contribute greatly to the study, as well as the establishment of scientific and technical policies, regarding the support of public policies and services.
