  • The State of Academic Writing in Kenyan Universities: Making a Case for Kenyan Universities to Re-Conceptualize Their Approach to Teaching Academic Writing
    Journal for Research and Practice in College Teaching 2018, Volume 3, Number 1 http://Journals.uc.edu 10 The State of Academic Writing in Kenyan Universities: Making a Case for Kenyan Universities to Re-conceptualize Their Approach to Teaching Academic Writing Mwangi Chege David Njengere University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College Curriculum Specialist, Nairobi, Kenya This study surveyed faculty and university students—both undergraduate and graduate—to find out how Kenyan universities approach teaching academic writing, the effectiveness of those approaches, issues with those approaches, and changes those institutions could make to effectively prepare students for the kind of writing they are expected to engage in at the university level. The study established that public universities and private universities in Kenya, except those with affiliation with American universities, teach writing through a Communication Skills (CS) course. The course has several limitations related to how it is structured (it is too broad) and how it is taught (the classes are too big). This study concluded that one CS course is inadequate to prepare students with the kind of skills they need to navigate academic discourse. The authors recommend that Kenyan universities retain the CS course as an orientation course focusing on study skills but introduce at least one course designated to teach academic writing. The authors also recommend Kenyan universities introduce a writing course within disciplines to familiarize students with writing conventions of their discipline.

  • Maasai Mara Research Project 270215
    Maasai Mara Science and Development Action The aim of the Maasai Mara Science and Development Action is to develop a platform that will support a large-scale interdisciplinary research programme for integrative conservation and development in the Maasai Mara. Large nature areas in Africa and their uniquely rich megafaunas are subject to complex interactions with the human societies in which they are embedded, involving both cultural, socioeconomic, organizational and political dimensions. At the same time, the ecosystems have their own inherently complex dynamics also impacted by anthropogenic climate change, with the famous wildebeest migration in Masai Mara-Serengeti providing a key example. While rich megafaunas with large annual migrations were once common across the Earth, they now form a unique African heritage and survives only in a declining, small part of the continent. Masai Mara hence constitutes a unique and irreplaceable part of Africa’s nature. Allowing it and other megafauna-rich ecosystems to persist in an increasingly human-dominated world will require the development of integrative approaches. These approaches must go across disciplines to tackle the complexity of external and internal societal and natural factors that now affects these ecosystems and concurently develop a sutainable society. All these factors together will determine the dynamics and ultimately the fate of these ecosystems. The framework built in the Maasai Mara Science and Development Action, will have broad applicability and relate to many global challenges of ecological sustainability in a world with ever increasing human population and resource use. The challenges of the Maasai Mara may thus be local, but the perspectives are global.

Mount Kenya University is therefore committed to play its part in complementing Sgovernment efforts in socio-economic transformation of our society. Indeed, the University reckons that a knowledge-driven economy and not a resource-based one will be key in this endevour, largely informed by research and innovation. The University therefore continues to invest in research and innovation activities, and in the last fiscal year, we allocated Ksh. 50 million towards the same. The funds were invested towards equipping the Research Centre, establishing and running the Enterprise Academy, the first-ever in the region for youth empowerment geared towards job and wealth creation. The funds were also used for organizing a National Water Summit in Turkana county, funding research and innovation projects, supporting dissemination activities through facilitating faculty to publish in peer-refereed journals and to participate in both local and international conferences. The University has further organized capacity building workshops and community outreach activities. The University will continue supporting STI activities as an important catalyst towards socio- economic transformation of our society.
