    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.

  • Party Politics and City Governance in Nairobi

    Party Politics and City Governance in Nairobi

    PARTY POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE IN NAIROBI Samuel O. Owuor1 Paper Presented at the GDRI Governing Cities in Africa Conference Stellenbosch University, 30 November – 2 December 2009 Introduction Nairobi is probably one of the largest and best-known cosmopolitan African capital cities. Nairobi was first established in 1899 as a transportation and administrative centre, which later grew to become the capital of Kenya and a city. It is by far the smallest administrative province in Kenya, but also the most important in terms of employment, socio-economic activities and functions it performs. Apart from being the capital city of Kenya, it is the largest urban centre in the country, a regional hub in East and Central Africa, as well as the headquarters for many international and regional organizations.2 The present administrative boundary covers an area of 686 km2 expanding from 3.84 km2 in 1910. According to the 1999 Kenyan population census, Nairobi had 2,143,254 inhabitants representing about 38% of the total urban population in Kenya, with an annual growth rate of 4.8% (Bocquier et al 2009). The population of Nairobi is currently estimated to be 3.36 million inhabitants (UN- HABITAT 2008). Being a capital city, Nairobi will continue to influence the country, especially its immediate catchment areas and districts. Specifically affected are Athi River, Ongata Rongai, Ngong, Ruiru, Thika, Limuru, Kiambu, Kitengela and Kiserian, which are today functionally part of Nairobi city and add 20% more to the province’s population (Bocquier et al 2009). Given the importance of Nairobi, sustainable and inclusive city governance is a key component in its future growth and development.

  • Information Systems Education in Kenya: Students’ Specialization Choice Trends (A Case Study of Kenya Polytechnic University College)

    Information Systems Education in Kenya: Students’ Specialization Choice Trends (A Case Study of Kenya Polytechnic University College)

    International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2013, Vol. 9, Issue 3, pp. 137-161 Information systems education in Kenya: Students’ specialization choice trends (a case study of Kenya Polytechnic University College) Atieno A. Ndede-Amadi Technical University of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the time and level of Information Systems (IS) awareness among Kenyan university students and the choice of IS as a field of specialization. The study posited that the choice of a field of specialization is dependent upon a student’s awareness of its existence, its utilization in the real world, its career opportunities, and its strategic importance to the country’s economic development agenda. It posited further that early IS awareness could have a positive impact on the choice of IS as a field of specialization. The underlying assumptions were that the time of IS awareness as a field of specialization among Kenyan university business students was late and levels low, leading to possible low levels of choice of IS as a field of specialization. Using the survey method, the case study found late and low levels of IS awareness as a field of specialization among university business students. Future studies linking time and levels of IS awareness with choice of IS as a filed of specialization and with existence of requisite IS skills in the country (or lack thereof) are suggested. Keywords: Specialization, Awareness, Systems Analytical Skills, Joint Admissions Board, Public Universities, University Colleges, Parallel Programmes. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The History of Information Systems Although the history of Information Systems (IS) as a subject of study only spans six decades, it is among disciplines that have done much towards advancing development of the human race (Jorgenson and Vu, 2009).
