    Open Educational Resources (OER) for Open Schooling The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) Open Schools Initiative launched an Open Educational Resources (OER) Project to provide materials under the Creative Commons license agreement to support independent study in 17 specially selected secondary school subjects. Funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation its aim is to broaden access to secondary education through the development of high quality Open Distance Learning (ODL) or self‐study materials. These specially selected OER subjects include: 1. Commerce 11 2. Coordinated Science 10 (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) 3. English 12 4. English Second Language 10 5. Entrepreneurship 10 6. Food & Nutrition 7. Geography 10 8. Geography 12 9. Human Social Biology 12 10. Life Science 10 11. Life Skills 12. Mathematics 11 13. Mathematics 12 14. Physical Science 10 15. Physical Science 12 16. Principles of Business 17. Spanish Open Educational Resources are free to use and increase accessibility to education. These materials are accessible for use in six countries: Botswana, India, Lesotho, Namibia, Seychelles and Trinidad & Tobago. Other interested parties are invited to use the materials, but some contextual adaptation might be needed to maximise their benefits in different countries. The OER for Open Schooling Teachers’ Guide has been developed to guide teachers/instructors on how to use the Open Educational Resources (OER) in five of these courses. 1. English 2. Entrepreneurship 3. Geography 4. Life Science 5. Physical Science The aim of this teachers’ guide is to help all teachers/instructors make best use of the OER materials. This guide is generic, but focuses on Namibian examples.

  • Chapter 3 Research Methods
    Chapter 3 Research Methods Chapter 3 Research Methods 3.1 Introduction This study was conducted in the North-East District of Botswana, which is the second smallest district (5993 km2) of the nine in Botswana. The district shares an international border with Zimbabwe in the north and east clearly defined by the Ramokgwebana River. The North-East District borders the Central District of Botswana in the south and west with the Shashe River clearly defining this boundary. There are two further major rivers in the district, namely the Tati River and the Ntshe River. The Tati River is central to the current study. The region has had an interesting past, which is evident from the numerous Bushman paintings found here (personal observation) and the ancient ruins known as Dombashaba within fifty kilometres of study area. Dombashaba means the “Hill of Merchants” (Maudeni unpublished, 2009). It was in this region that trading in ivory, salt, grain and other items took place. The region was rocked by instability in the 1840’s when the Ndebele, under the rule of Mzilikazi, invaded during the well documented Nfacane. During these unsettled times local tribes fled southwards. A population vacuum was created, which was filled by the now well- known Tati Company, who fenced and sold off large tracts of land, mainly for cattle farming (Maundeni unpublished, 2009). Currently the area is a mosaic of communal farming (3,391 km2) and private freehold commercial farms (2,569 km2), with cattle farming being the main land use activity in both these areas (Maundeni unpublished, 2009). It was with this background that the area was ideally selected for the current study.
