EDUCATION-TRAINING-EMPLOYMENT, THE KEY TO AFRICA'S DEVELOPMENT IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION
No one argues today that our world is modern. History teaches us that this modernity is the fruit of an evolution. This evolution that is the mainstream direction of world history has not been uniform on the entire face of the earth. At certain periods, in certain parts, localities, or countries of the world, changes and transformations took revolutionary forms. These changes and transformations are the result of the combination of factors. While some are involuntary, some are desired and sought for. The impacts of these changes and transformations affect the environment, life settings, as well as the lives of the people who are at their origin. The effects of changes and evolutions have tau...
Pedagogical Appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by West African Educators
West African teachers and professors who are appropriating information and communication technologies (ICT) are making it part and parcel of education and everyday life. In Mali and beyond, they adapt ICT to their milieus and work as cultural agents, mediating between technology and society. They yearn to use ICT to make education more relevant to life, facilitate and enhance African participation in global debates and scholarly production, and evolve how Africa and Africans are projected and perceived. In sum, educators are harnessing ICT for its transformative possibilities. The changes apparent in student-teacher relations (more interactive) and classrooms (more dialogical) suggest that ICT can be a catalyst for pedagogical change, including in document-poor contexts and ones weighed down by legacies of colonialism. Learning from the perspectives and experiences of educators pioneering the use of ICT in education in Africa can inform educational theory, practice and policy and deepen understandings of the concept of appropriation as a process of cultural change.
Regional Balance and National Integration in Cameroon
This book presents a series of reflections by Cameroon scholars on a variety of topics associated with regional balance and national integration. The different reflections look for answers to some burning questions of the day such as: Where are we coming from? Where are we going? How are we going where we are going? Have the different state ideologies offered appropriate solutions to the quest for a strong, united, stable and prosperous nation-state? If not, what has gone wrong and why? What can be done to shape the future and accommodate the aspirations of the men and women of Cameroon and of their progeny? The book addresses the issue of national unity and national integration within the c...

It critically examines the development of education provision in each country, whilst exploring both local and global contexts. Including a comparative introduction to the issues facing education in the region as a whole, this handbook is an essential reference for researchers, scholars, international agencies and policy-makers at all levels.
ICT and Changing Mindsets in Education
The debate is no longer whether to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in education in Africa but how to do so, and how to ensure equitable access for teachers and learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This is a book about how Africans adopt and adapt ICT. It is also about how ICT shape African schools and classrooms. Why do we use ICT, or not? Do girls and boys use them in the same ways? How are teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in Africa using ICT in teaching and learning? How does the process transform relations among learners, educators and knowledge construction? This collection by 19 researchers from Africa, Europe, and North America, explo...
Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon
Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talent...
Violence et société
La 4e de couv. indique : "Les paradigmes de paix, de dialogue interculturel, de dignité des peuples, de sécurité des États etc., ouvrent l'expérience analytique des co-auteurs de cet ouvrage à la phénoménologie des utopies du vivre-ensemble. À partir des textes et des approches interdisciplinaires qui tranchent avec l'académisme scientifique de courte échelle, ce livre démêle les écheveaux de la violence (sensible problématique de mode en Afrique et dans le reste des continents) et questionne sa légitimité dans la vie quotidienne ou de l'État. Il permet de comprendre que la violence oscille entre un acte qui contrarie une volonté de quiétude et l'émergence de l'audace de construire une voie de vérité stratégique durable. Aussi, l'âme éditoriale présente-elle la civilisation contemporaine dans une histoire de violence (Louis) ou de guerres justes (Neyrac), tirant la sonnette d'alarme sur le danger des identités meurtrières (Maalouf), en passe, de devenir le modèle tragique. À regret !"
Appropriation de la lecture et de l'écriture du français au Cameroun
Le sujet de réflexion fascine dans son ossature. Il se distingue à la fois, scientifiquement par son ancrage sociolinguistique et le parallélisme multiculturel de ses trajectoires systémiques. Appropriation de la lecture et de l'écriture balise cette exploration. Aussi, la problématique de la lecture et de l'écriture du français au Cameroun abordée dans ce travail se donne-t-elle pour ambition majeure, de comprendre, à partir de la description et de l'analyse des situations de classe et de l'environnement social des élèves et des enseignants, comment s'effectue l'acculturation de ces compétences dans les deux sous-systèmes éducatifs du Cameroun. Les modalités culturelles, les...
Lehrerbildung in Kamerun - formale Systeme und informelle Befähigung
Lehrer haben die verantwortungsvolle Aufgabe, Generationen auszubilden. Sie können dadurch insbesondere in Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern die sozio-ökonomische Entwicklung eines ganzen Staates lenken. Im zentralafrikanischen Kamerun stehen Pädagogen jedoch vor zahlreichen Herausforderungen: Schlechte Ausstattung von Schulen, fehlende Unterrichtsmaterialien, kulturell heterogene Klassen oder niedriges Einkommen erschweren eine zeitgemäße Lehre. Eine umfassende Ausbildung von Lehrern ist essenziell, allerdings nur schwer umsetzbar. Zu kurze Ausbildungszyklen, unzureichende Weiterbildungsangebote oder mangelnde Fachausbilder sind nur einige Hindernisse für die Professionalisierung de...
