The University of Hull Pre-School Education In THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENGLAND AND LIBYA by Fathia Ali Ghafir, BA (University of Libya, Benghazi), MEd (El Fatah University, Tripoli) being a Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull December 1987 ABSTRACT Ole Ph.D. THESIS by Fathia All Ghafir BA, MEd PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE: SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENGLAND AND LIBYA There is a great demand for pre-school education in most countries of the world, but while pre-school education has long received only modest consideration within the educationally developed world, it has attracted even less consideration than other levels of schooling especially in the developing countries. There is still a danger that early childhood education may continue to be viewed as something of a luxury. Nonetheless, the past few decades have withessed much greater interest in pre-school education. Among the reasons for this growing interest are the new knowledge gained in the sphere of child development and the changes which have taken place in social conditions. Most countries provide some kind of educational opportunities for children below school age, their aims and objectives may differ to a greater or lesser extent from one country to another depending on resources and specific historical, social or religious influences on the way pre-school education has developed, and the way in which different cultures come to view the main aims and objectives of such education. This thesis is based on a combination of empirical and documentary research. Historically, pre-school education seems to have served similar functions despite difference in time and culture. For that reason Libya as a developing country should learn from the mistakes of a developed country as England, as well as from such of her insights as are perhaps capable of being transplanted successfully in Libya. It was thought that a comparative study of views of pre- school teachers in two countries with different political, economic, social and ideological systems, would illuminate some current concerns in the field of pre-school education. This study is designed to arrive at criteria development of pre-school education in general and its teacher training dimension in particular, as an essential background for an improvement in the quality of pre-school education in Libya. The findings of the research revealed that there are major problems in pre-school education in Libya centred around diffused aims, centralised admin- istration, a subject centred curriculum, and teacher-centred methods. Low qualifications among teachers following a mediocre calibre of intake, tutors without professional training, lack of guidance services, the overlooked curriculum, much traditional teaching methods and final examinations demanding all combined to render the task ofthe few keenly interested in developing a Libyan pre-school sector particularly difficult. The over-arching conclusion of this study is that fundamental changes should be introduced throughout Libyan education, and that this in itself requires the development of a pre-school sector. Because the relationship between pre-school education and other levels of education is organic - any change in one part will be reflected on the other parts. The study is divided into three parts. Part A is the context, and consists of three chapters: Chapter 1 gives a brief account of the significance and purpose of this particular study, the scope of the problem, the aims and the methods to be used - both documentary and empirical. Chapters 2 and 3 review the situation of pre-school education in Western Europe and Arabic countries respectively. Part B is the Libyan Dimension: it consists also of three chapters. Chapter 4 traces the development of education in Libya through the various periods of Libya's history. Chapter 5 traces the development of pre-school education in Libya, the influence of the different communities who were settled in the area before Independence on pre-school education. Chapter 6 provides a description and analysis of teacher training and its relationship with pre-school education. Part C is the English Dimension. There are two chapters. Chapter 7 reviews the development of pre-school education from the nineteenth century, including the ideas of leading European reformers and traces the development of nursery education up to the present time. Chap ter 8 is concerned with teacher training programmes for teachers and nursery nurses in Engl.and and Wales. The final section, Part D, comprises three chapters. Chap ter 9 gives a brief description of the two cities where the field studies were conducted, Hull in England and Derna in Libya. It also provides a detailed description of the research design and application in England and Libya. Chapter 11, the final chapter, concerns itself with summarising the study, and also looking towards improvements through a number of recommend- ations from the author. It is hoped that the thesis will be a valuable document in retrospect, especially to those keen to develop pre-school facilities there. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to express my deepest gratitude for the guidance and assistance I received from my supervisor, Mr. Colin Brock. My further expression of deep appreciation should go to all the staff in the School of Education as well as to the staff of Brynmor Jones Library and to the N.U.T. librarians in London for all the help I received. I am also particularly grateful to Mrs. Jean Williams, Magda Hushad and Saleh Hanish for their assistance during my field work. Without the encouragement and self-sacrifice of my family in Libya, my husband Ramadan and my children Wael and Amira, it would have been impossible to complete this work. To them all, I am most deeply grateful.

  • Towards E-Learning in Higher Education in Libya
    Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 7, 2010 Towards E-Learning in Higher Education in Libya Amal Rhema and Iwona Miliszewska Victoria University, Melbourne, Victoria [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The growing influence of technologies on all aspects of life, including the education sector, re- quires developing countries to follow the example of the developed countries and adopt technol- ogy in their education systems. Although relatively late, the Libyan government has eventually responded to this challenge and started investing heavily in the reconstruction of its education system, and initiating national programs to introduce information and communication technology (ICT) into education. In addition, there are plans to establish virtual campuses in many universi- ties and colleges to provide an advanced platform for learners and instructors. This paper presents the higher education context in Libya and outlines the applications of ICT and e-learning in Lib- yan higher education to date. It discusses the issues that need be considered and addressed in adopting ICT in the learning and teaching processes including technological infrastructure, cur- riculum development, cultural and language aspects, and management support. The paper also outlines the prospects for the integration of e-learning into Libyan higher education and con- cludes with proposing an integrated approach to advancing the introduction of e-learning in Libya. Keywords: developing country, e-learning, ICT teacher training, information and communication technology, Libyan higher education, technology transfer, technological infrastructure. Introduction Libya has the highest literacy rate in the Arab world, and the United Nation’s Human Develop- ment Index, which ranks standard of living, social security, health care and other factors for de- velopment, keeps Libya at the top of all African countries.

  • The Issues of Teaching English in Libyan Higher Education
    Changing Practices in a Developing Country: The Issues of Teaching English in Libyan Higher Education PhD Thesis Mohamed Abushafa This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Art, Design & Humanities De Montfort University April 2014 i Declaration I, Mohamed Abushafa, declare that the main text of this thesis entitled Changing Practices in a Developing Country: The Issues of Teaching English in Libyan Higher Education is entirely my own work. This work has not been previously submitted wholly or in part for any academic award or qualification other than that for which it is now submitted. i Abstract Libya is a country which is trying to find its place in the international community. It has a mainly youthful population of about 5.6 million with a median age of 24.8 years and large numbers of young people are accessing university courses. This creates a demand for university places which is increasingly difficult to meet. The recent political changes in Libya have compounded these difficulties. This study investigates the challenges of teaching English in Libyan Higher Education as the country prepares its young people for living and working in a global environment where the English language is predominant. The investigation finds that there is recognition of the importance of English, but the level of language skills of students entering university is well below an acceptable standard, and both teachers and students advocate an early start for learning English in schools. Within the universities the curriculum is not consistent and leads to graduates in English having a limited command of the language.

  • Page 1 of 7 Location the Nation of Libya Is Located in North Africa And
    Libya Location The nation of Libya is located in North Africa and covers approximately one million seven hundred fifty square kilometers, which is slightly larger than the United State’s Alaska. It is one of the largest countries in Africa. Libya lies in the geographic coordinates 25°N and 17°E. It is bordered in the north by the Mediterranean Sea and by Niger and Chad in the south. Libya’s western border connects to Algeria and Tunisia, and connects to Egypt and Sudan in the east. Geography The highest point in Libya is the Bikku Bitti, also known as Bette Peak, which stands at seven thousand four hundred and thirty eight feet at its highest point. It is located in the Tibesti Mountains in southern Libya near the Chadian border. The Sahara, an immense North African desert, covers most of Libya. Much of the country’s land consists of barren, rock-strewn plains and sand sea, with flat to underlying plains, plateaus, and depressions. Two small areas of hills ascend in the northwest and northeast, and the Tibesti mountains rise near the southern border. There are no permanent rivers or streams in Libya. The coastline is sunken near the center by the Gulf of Sidra, where barren desert reaches the Mediterranean Sea. Libya is divided into three natural regions. The first and largest, to the east of the Gulf of Sidra, is Cyrenaica, which occupies the plateau of Jabal al Akhdar. The majority of the area of Cyrenaica is covered with sand dunes, especially along the border with Egypt.
