Vol. 1 No.1, 2016 Vice Chancellor’s Foreword Professor R.J. Zvobgo(PhD) Vice Chancellor Great Zimbabwe University It is my great pleasure to present the first issue of Dzimbahwe Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (DJMR). This is a peer-reviewed academic journal with a broad scope bridging across multiple disciplines and will be published biannually. The name of the journal has been carefully crafted, deriving from the “Dzimbadzemahwe” “House of Stone” indigenous taxonomy of the Great Zimbabwe World Heritage Site from which the University derives its identity. As it is multidisciplinary, the editors of this journal look for certain qualities in prospective manuscripts that may be less relevant to more traditional disciplinary journals but would provide an educative reading. The editors are unrelenting in their insistence on quality, hence articles submitted to the journal are put through a rigorous peer-review exercise. We are proud of our achievements and excited about more to come. We will innovate and evolve as a research journal. I am pleased to note that this inaugural issue has already attracted researchers from the region and I envisage that the journal will soon become international. This inaugural issue contains ten articles from diverse academic fields. The first article, “Applied archaeology, heritage management and food security: an appraisal of indigenous agricultural practices in Zimbabwe” is co-authored by Thomas Panganayi Thondhlana, Rachel Gwazani and Henry Chiwaura. Its purpose is to demonstrate that archaeologists can go beyond the reconstruction of indigenous agricultural practices by way of actively encouraging the rehabilitation of some ecologically sustainable traditional practices. The researchers are of the conviction that it is not justified to preserve vast tracts of land for the sake of posterity in the face of acute shortages of agricultural land. The next article, “Bachelor of Adult Education students’ perceptions of polygamy at a state university in Zimbabwe” is self-explanatory and written by Christinah Gwirayi. The results of this study indicate that polygamous families are faced by a number of challenges such as abuse, jealousy, envy, co-wife rivalry, sibling rivalry and unequal distribution of resources. The third paper “A consideration of selected Shona personal names in light of the experiences of abused Christian women in Zimbabwe” is written by Excellent Chireshe and establishes that Shona personal names, as linguistic tools, express i Vice Chancellor’s Foreword Dzimbahwe j.multidiscip.res. Vol. 1 No.1, 2016 situations of domestic violence, reflecting the victims’ feelings and those of their advisors. Martin Musengi is the fourth contributor with his article, “Teachers’ Sign Language beliefs and their influence on Zimbabwean curriculum-in-practice for deaf learners”. Musengi in his study concludes that teachers do not adequately appreciate Zimbabwe Sign Language (ZSL) as a language in curriculum-practice and recommends that teachers be taught ZSL formally by Deaf adults so that they appreciate the nuances of the language. Simon Vurayai and Chenjerai Muwaniki provide the fifth paper “Zimbabwe’s economic crises and the state of professionalism among rural secondary school teachers” which set out to investigate the impact of Zimbabwe’s economic crises on the state of teacher professionalism in rural Zimbabwean secondary schools in Zaka District. It is also noted that in economic crises teachers were motivated by maximizing their rewards rather than public service. Patience Dadzie-Bonney and Samuel K. Hayford provide the sixth article, “Teachers’ ICT knowledge, skills and usage at Oguaman School for the deaf in Ghana” which reports part of a graduate thesis which investigated the level of ICT knowledge, skills, and utilisation among teachers teaching at the Oguaman School for the Deaf in Ghana. Gamuchirai Tsitsi Ndamba, Rose M Mugweni, Lovemore Chirobe and Sharayi Chakanyuka have co-authored the seventh paper with a self-explanatory title “Perceptions of pre-service students on HIV and AIDS education at a state university in Zimbabwe”. The eighth contributor Tendai Chikutuma provides a paper, “Management and organisation of Early Childhood Development programmes in Harare primary schools in Zimbabwe” which examines the quality of the management and organisation of Early Childhood Development programmes and concludes among other issues that effective management is possible through delegation. The ninth paper “Psychosocial correlates of infertility among married women undergoing infertility treatment in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana” by Stephen Antwi-Danso purports that infertility impacts negatively on women. The last contribution for this issue “ Psychosocial effects of parental migration on rural children in Mwenezi, Zimbabwe” is provided by Herbert Zirima, and highlights the need for further research on the implications of rural to urban migration on rural children’s intellectual development. Zirima also recommends that migrating parents should maintain contact with their children so as to maintain the emotional bond with their children. The journal is multidisciplinary as can be seen from the submissions. I wish the readers a fulfilling reading and would like to take this opportunity to invite more articles for submission into the Dzimbahwe Journal of Multidisciplinary Research. I thank you __________________________ Professor R.J. Zvobgo(PhD) Vice Chancellor Vice Chancellor’s Foreword ii Dzimbahwe j.multidiscip.res.

  • Quality Assurance Challenges and Opportunities Faced by Private Universities in Zimbabwe
    Journal of Case Studies in Education Quality assurance challenges and opportunities faced by private Universities in Zimbabwe Evelyn Chiyevo Garwe Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education ABSTRACT The study sought to provide an understanding of the quality assurance challenges and opportunities faced by private universities in Zimbabwe. The study analyzed the factors determining provision of quality higher education in private universities and the resultant effects of failing to achieve the minimum acceptable standards. The author employed the case study method which falls within the qualitative research paradigm. The major techniques used were documentary analysis, direct observation and participant observation by the author. The results showed that financial constraints and poor corporate governance were the major factors leading to failure by private universities to uphold high quality standards. The study also highlighted the need for an effective national quality assurance agency in making sure that only institutions with the necessary financial, material and human resources should be allowed to operate as private universities. Key words: Quality, quality assurance, private university, corporate governance Quality assurance challenges, Page 1 Journal of Case Studies in Education INTRODUCTION Private universities in Africa should be considered a potential growth industry, which may generate revenue, employment and other spillovers to the rest of the economy (Nyarko, 2001). In Zimbabwe, private universities started in 1992 in response to the need to fill in gaps in access to higher education. The legislative measures initiated to establish private institutions of higher education also opened doors for the entry of cross-border higher education which is offered through private providers. Kariwo (2007) reported that the private higher education sector in Zimbabwe contributed a small share of enrolments and programme offerings in higher education .

  • History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years Ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 Pages This PDF History Timeline Has Been Extracted
    History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 pages This PDF History Timeline has been extracted from the History World web site's time line. The PDF is a very simplified version of the History World timeline. The PDF is stripped of all the links found on that timeline. If an entry attracts your interest and you want further detail, click on the link at the foot of each of the PDF pages and query the subject or the PDF entry on the web site, or simply do an internet search. When I saw the History World timeline I wanted a copy of it for myself and my family in a form that we could access off-line, on demand, on the device of our choice. This PDF is the result. What attracted me particularly about the History World timeline is that each event, which might be earth shattering in itself with a wealth of detail sufficient to write volumes on, and indeed many such events have had volumes written on them, is presented as a sort of pared down news head-line. Basic unadorned fact. Also, the History World timeline is multi-faceted. Most historic works focus on their own area of interest and ignore seemingly unrelated events, but this timeline offers glimpses of cross-sections of history for any given time, embracing art, politics, war, nations, religions, cultures and science, just to mention a few elements covered. The view is fascinating. Then there is always the question of what should be included and what excluded.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Media Monitoring: Extract of Press News on Higher Education in Africa
    Issue 53 Media Monitoring: Extract of Press News on Higher Education in Africa 1. University World News Training to promote thought leadership in universities (Africa) A four-year leadership training programme aimed at vice-chancellors, principals and deans of 54 African universities has proved popular among university leaders and a third phase is planned, according to its organisers. Participants of the Capacity Strengthening Programme for Leadership in African Universities, funded by the Mastercard Foundation and implemented jointly by the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) and the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), said the training had helped them to reflect more deeply on their characteristics and effectiveness as leaders. “African universities need to recognise that there is no replacement for thought leadership as innovation and advancement at universities is dependent on the quality of its leadership,” said Dr Anthony Egeru, RUFORUM’s acting deputy executive secretary for programme development and implementation. According to Egeru, for Africa to have quality universities, there must be quality leadership. “Thus a deliberate training approach and immersion programmes in African universities should be started, and those that exist need to be further strengthened at university level,” Egeru told University World News. Egeru said for a long time universities had been viewed as places for developing great ideas. “However, they have not been able to earn credibility as places for turning ideas into actionable solutions, which would help them create avenues for influencing societies, government and the global environment.” Based on the feedback from a survey received in June, university leaders believe there is also a need to train university council members as this could help improve relationships between the universities' governing councils and management.
