The Accreditation Challenges in Transnational Educational Ecology: The Ghana...Valdosta State University
The transnational nature of the contemporary educational ecology has placed many national accreditation boards under an enormous pressure in executing their mandate of monitoring, supervising, and granting accreditation to academic institutions and the programs they offer. In recent times, the Ghana National Accreditation Board (NAB from now on) has come under an immense public scrutiny for what the public may have rightly perceived as its failure to perform its gatekeeping role in safeguarding the credibility of educational products sold to the Ghanaian public by some unaccredited educational institutions.
Using a purposive comparative framework, we selected for interrogation cases of institutions and individuals who have come under public scrutiny for awarding and receiving academic qualifications and awards that the public considers questionable. This is to answer three pertinent questions:
I. What is the accreditation status of institutions selected for analysis?
II. Who are the individuals associated with these institutions?
III. What are the motives of these individuals for acquiring these degrees/awards?
The report indicates that some of the institutions in question are in breach of the NAB’s instrument of authority, while others have acquired NAB’s accreditation under questionable arrangements. The report further indicates that two categories of individuals are identifiable in these accreditation controversies. While one group views higher academic qualifications as career tools, the other considers these awards as status symbols for self-actualization and a seal for the legitimization of their place of honor in the public’s eye. An uncritical-propaganda-dogged media coupled with an unquestioning public continues to fuel the practice.
This file is related to Business Communication in which we study persuasive message of value,persuasive message of policy, persuasive message of speech. Types of evidence which are observation, interviews, survey data, experiments, personal experience.

Survey research is based on the simple idea that if you want to find out what people think about some topic, just ask them.
A survey is a structured set of questions or statements given to a group of people to measure their attitudes, beliefs, values, or tendencies to act.
The survey is a non-experimental, descriptive research method. Surveys can be useful when a researcher wants to collect data on phenomena that cannot be directly observed.
The purpose of the survey may be to produce statistics- that is, quantitative, (numerical descriptions of some aspects of the study population) or to generate the themes- that is, qualitative.
The main way of collecting information is by asking people questions;(in the form of questionnaire or interview) their answers constitute the data to be analyzed.
Survey researcher is primarily interested in assessing the characteristics’ of the whole population. So it is ideal to study every member of the population, but it is not feasible always to study every member of the population. So the information is collected about only a fraction of the population- that is, a sample.
Introduction to research methodology.pptxahmedmcjdu
Introduction to research methodology. Research methodology is a structured and scientific approach used to collect, analyze, and interpret quantitative or qualitative data to answer research questions or test hypotheses. A research methodology is like a plan for carrying out research and helps keep researchers on track by limiting the scope of the research. Several aspects must be considered before selecting an appropriate research methodology, such as research limitations and ethical concerns that may affect your research.
The research methodology section in a scientific paper describes the different methodological choices made, such as the data collection and analysis methods, and why these choices were selected. The reasons should explain why the methods chosen are the most appropriate to answer the research question. A good research methodology also helps ensure the reliability and validity of the research findings. There are three types of research methodology—quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method, which can be chosen based on the research objectives.
Moreover, A research methodology describes the techniques and procedures used to identify and analyze information regarding a specific research topic. It is a process by which researchers design their study so that they can achieve their objectives using the selected research instruments. It includes all the important aspects of research, including research design, data collection methods, data analysis methods, and the overall framework within which the research is conducted. While these points can help you understand what is research methodology, you also need to know why it is important to pick the right methodology.

South Africa’s witchcraft policy: An infectious retrogressive model for the g...Valdosta State University
In a recent educational policy statement, the South African Government announced the addition of the study of witchcraft for the award of Bachelor of Sciences to its educational curriculum. According to the South African Minister of Education, Dr. Emmanuel Nzimande, “Africans can learn how to fly in winnowing baskets in order to reduce traffic jams and the importation of fuel,” by receiving a degree in witchcraft. In the spirit of South-South development struggles, this paper interrogates the South African policy comparatively with narratives from other global south nations, including India and Ghana vis-à-vis developments in the developed North. For South Africa, the movie Shaka Zulu provides a historical frame from which to assess the current policy.
Based on the narratives from the aforementioned countries, this paper argues that no African country needs a Bachelor of Science study in witchcraft to educate its citizens on how to use winnowing baskets to avoid gridlock on their roads and to save from high cost of fuel. What South Africa, like other global south nations, needs is the promotion of science, technology, and education to free its population from its unfounded darkest fears, ignorance, and disease. The paper calls on South Africans and the global south to resist the regressive policy as it has the potential to further draw South Africa back, divide families, and promote superstition at the national level with the fear of other global south nations emulating the policy.

In this essay, I reflexively narrate my personal travails as a Teaching Associate (TA) in a Midwestern US university
and, later, an Assistant Professor in the Southern State of Georgia. I argue that, as a foreign-born TA and,
later, an Assistant Professor, I carry extra layers of identity markers that distinguish me from the homegrown
professor. Thus, the masked and the overt demands by the hegemonic institutional forces for conformity to
the Anglo-American speech forms and narratives suppress those unique identity markers. So as not to create
tension and friction in the classroom, it is challenging not to be seduced to veil those unique identity markers
in the cross-cultural intersections of pedagogy. However, unlike the homegrown professor on familiar terrains,
by concealing those unique identity markers about myself, my true self is veiled from students and I become a
mystery to them in the ensuing pedagogical encounter. With this understanding, I have always positioned my
true self as rhetorical act of anchoring that demystifies the strange and invites the native to the never-ending
dialogue of discovery.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Statement Cell phone use while driving is pervasive
Evidence
Evidence
As of October 2008, 266 million people in the
United States subscribed to some form of
wireless communication, including cell phones.
This is up from 4.3 in 1990 (Insurance
Information Institute, 2008).
In 2006, a study reported that at any moment
during the day, eight percent of drivers are on
their cell phones (Siegel, 2010).
Conclusion Given the number of subscribers and the
number of drivers using them, it would be
difficult to drive anywhere and not meet
someone using a cell phone.
