Sonja Loots; Francois Strydom; Hanlé Posthumus – Journal of Student Affairs in Africa, 2023
Technology is key to making education systems more resilient to disruptions.

Simpson, Zach; Inglis, Helen; Sandrock, Carl – Africa Education Review, 2020
The notion of "resources" is often framed in an economic sense: money, time, equipment and the like. The authors reconceptualise this notion, situating resources as embedded in curricular frameworks, teacher practice and student experience. This leads them to define resources as "the potential to participate in socio-cultural…

Abe, Ethel; Chikoko, Vitallis; Lubinga, Stella N. – Perspectives in Education, 2021
The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), one of the highly researched career theories, suggested that outcomes expectance and self-efficacy are crucial factors in the career selection process. The result of career outcomes expectancy (COE) and career decision-making self-efficacy (CDSE) may be pivotal in an individual's shunning or being more…

Swartz, Sharlene; Nyamnjoh, Anye; Arogundade, Emma; Breakey, Jessica; Bockarie, Abioseh; Osezua, Oghoadena C. – Journal of Moral Education, 2022
When opposing injustice, the failure to recognise wrong or translate knowledge into action are two problems with which moral education has to contend. The notion of 'social restitution' can be a helpful concept in addressing these challenges because it locates restitution at the level of interpersonal and communal moral responsibility. This is…
