Show moreThis study reports the findings of a research project on Zimbabwean infant teachers' perceptions of the curriculum for children in grades one, two and three. There was general consensus among infant teachers on what they believed to be the three most important subjects on their curriculum. A notable result of the study was that the subjects that children enjoy learning most are regarded as being the least important by their teachers. These subjects are allocated less teaching time than certain other subjects and teachers rarely keep records of children's progress in them. The study concludes that Zimbabwean infant teachers have been poorly socialized into the nature and purpose of children's curricula, and recommends that teacher training programmes for infant teachers be revised accordingly in this aspect.

Title: Zimbabwean families of the mentally ill : experiences and support needs
Creator: Wintersteen, Richard T.
Date: 1995
Collection: Journal of Social Development in Africa
Description: The paper presents the results of a study undertaken in Zimbabwe which set out to document the experiences, attitudes and needs of families as they face the responsibility of caring for persons with mental illness. The basic aim of the study was to paint a "broad brush" picture of the service needs of both mentally ill persons and their families and to determine under what burdens, if any, families labour as caretakers. The study involved families of patients whose illnesses were...
Show moreThe paper presents the results of a study undertaken in Zimbabwe which set out to document the experiences, attitudes and needs of families as they face the responsibility of caring for persons with mental illness. The basic aim of the study was to paint a "broad brush" picture of the service needs of both mentally ill persons and their families and to determine under what burdens, if any, families labour as caretakers. The study involved families of patients whose illnesses were distinguished as or closely resembled schizophrenia or major affective disorders. Altogether no fewer than 34 interviews were conducted in various parts of Zimbabwe. A fundamental conclusion of the study is that families continue to bear a heavy responsibility for providing assistance to persons with mental illness, and hence require a great deal more support, education and additional services from government, NGOs and the wider community to help them successfully assist in caring for their family members.

Title: Zimbabwe's environmental impact assessment policy of 1994 : can it achieve sound environmental management?
Creator: Chinamora, Webster Nicholas
Date: 1995
Collection: Zambezia
Description: Environmental impact assessment (EIA) constitutes an essential tool for integrating environmental and economic considerations in the planning process. Realising this, the Government of Zimbabwe recently adopted an EIA policy. However, the policy is not yet law and so it is unlikely to have an impact in its present form since no legal compulsion exists for developers and project proponents to follow its mandate. There is an urgent need for a statutory basis to be created for the EIA policy if...
Show moreEnvironmental impact assessment (EIA) constitutes an essential tool for integrating environmental and economic considerations in the planning process. Realising this, the Government of Zimbabwe recently adopted an EIA policy. However, the policy is not yet law and so it is unlikely to have an impact in its present form since no legal compulsion exists for developers and project proponents to follow its mandate. There is an urgent need for a statutory basis to be created for the EIA policy if it is to achieve sustainable management of resources. The article notes that while foreign methodologies are relevant in the search for an appropriate legislative model, they have to be domesticated to suit local environmental problems and priorities.

Title: Zimbabwe : pre-colonial history, demographic disaster and the university
Creator: Beach, D. N.
Date: 1999
Collection: Zambezia
Description: Zimbabwe is on the brink of a major crisis. The university can play a crucial role in averting or at least remodifying it. The very long-term perspective of precolonial history offers a view of the situation that involves every faculty and department in the university. Consequently, this lecture will take a rather different form from the usual. The first part summarizes a recent book that is itself a partial summary of my entire career's research.

Show moreZimbabwe is on the brink of a major crisis. The university can play a crucial role in averting or at least remodifying it. The very long-term perspective of precolonial history offers a view of the situation that involves every faculty and department in the university. Consequently, this lecture will take a rather different form from the usual. The first part summarizes a recent book that is itself a partial summary of my entire career's research. The second shows how the precolonial perspective highlights the coming crisis in Zimbabwe, that threatens every aspect of society. The third examines the university as an entity that ought to be able to play a major role in averting this crisis, and then goes on to show how it has itself taken a wrong course that makes such a role impossible, unless major changes occur on the campus.

Title: Zimbabwe : African working class nationalism, 1957-1963
Creator: Mothibe, Tefetso Henry
Date: 1996
Collection: Zambezia
Description: Scholars of Zimbabwean history have argued that organised African labour was subordinated to petit bourgeois nationalism. This article refutes these assessments and argues that, in the period between the formation of the first mass nationalist organisation and the adoption of the armed struggle, organised labour and nationalism were intimately connected, a fact that reflected in part the structural position of the African workers in a colonial society.

Show moreScholars of Zimbabwean history have argued that organised African labour was subordinated to petit bourgeois nationalism. This article refutes these assessments and argues that, in the period between the formation of the first mass nationalist organisation and the adoption of the armed struggle, organised labour and nationalism were intimately connected, a fact that reflected in part the structural position of the African workers in a colonial society. This relationship was, however, disrupted by the adoption of armed struggle by the nationalists in 1963.
