Research Methodology: A Handbook for ...
The society that we live in today has changed so drastically over the past twenty years because of economic, sociological and cultural shifts. Furthermore, the spread of the internet and the changing nature of education and knowledge have impacted the theory and practice of the research process because knowledge itself has changed. As such, the old ways of planning and conducting research for academic purposes have become unsuitable in the present times.
This has necessitated adjustments to the old ways to accommodate new sources of data, new forms of knowledge, and emerging ethical concerns. This is the task of this book. It seeks to equip college and university students with research skills in the humanities and the social sciences, while borrowing from and extending traditional concepts of research.
It also introduces critical elements of digital data and social media inquiry for the benefit of the 21st Century college and undergraduate student. It is a highly recommended resource for those who seek to deepen their knowledge of the theory and practice of formal academic research.
Maasai Education and Social Change by...
This important study delves into the cultural politics leading to low literacy levels in Maasai land in the colonial period and the early post-independence years. It's approach to pedagogy does not side step the politics of education– local, Regional, international and the dynamics that conspire to limit what is taught when, where , how and by whom. Chief among these is the politics of (dis) placement and land grabs leading to the systematic marginalisation.
The book allows the reader to see what was gained in the pursuit of western education, what was lost, and what has been artfully woven into modern Maasai identities from a blending of school– formal education and its socioeconomic outcomes– with home – the logic of pastoralism in old Maasai way of Knowing.
