Education by Radio and Television: how to develop basic teaching skills in Burkina Faso

Sawadogo S. Ali,김동식,김경진 한양대학교 교육공학연구소 2010 학습과학연구 Vol.4 No.2

This paper analyses aspects of the educational system of Burkina Faso in an attempt to envisage how it will be in a nearer future. We take a retrospective look of the achievements, the opportunities, and also the constraints and risks with regard to the quality of teaching methods. The significant headways achieved by the national policy in the expansion of access to education in Burkina Faso must be coupled with an effort to maintain and improve quality because Education For All must be conceived of as quality Education for all. The fact that we adopted the competency-based approach is laudable but it may be at odds with the prevailing teaching methods that remain frontal, talk-and-talk partly because of the overcrowded classes. One positive phenomenon noticeable among pupils is the development of parallel informal ways of acquiring knowledge. Many children now exploit ICT, particularly the internet to access useful knowledge that may be more decisive in their lives than what they painfully accumulate at school. We wanted to lay emphasis on radio and television as very available means of efficient teaching. We are convinced that these media have sometimes negative effect on teaching and learning. But we can also use them as ways to improve teaching system by using them as classrooms tools. In that way, radio and television will be seen as audio-visual aids that can be frequently used in classrooms activities and even out of the classrooms. By the end of our study, we proposed a guideline to be used by teachers in their daily activities both in classrooms and out of the classrooms. To strengthen this way of doing, we thought about a relative way of gaining parents’ participation and also policy makers’ involvement. With a suggested methodology, we believe that teachers may participate actively to make radio and television more useful to education areas.

본 연구는 가까운 미래에 적용 가능한 부르키나 파소의 교육시스템을 전망한 것이다. 학습효과를 증진시키기 위하여 그간의 교수학습 방법의 업적, 기회, 규약 및 위험을 회고해본다. 부르키나파소에서 진행한 국가적 교육신장 정책은 모든 학습자를 위한 교수방법의 질을 유지, 증진시키기 위한 노력의 일환이었다. 우리가 채택한 역량 기반의 접근 방식은 의미 있는 선택이었으나, 현재 교육 현장이 과밀학급이므로 교실 내가 소란하여 실효를 거두는데 무리가 있을 수 있다. 그러나 하나의 긍정적인 현상은 학습자들 사이에서 서로 토의를 통해 지식획득이 증진된다는 점이다. 현재 많은 학습자들은 학교에서 지식을 축척하고 있다. 그러나 실제 인터넷 등 ICT를 활용한다면 좀 더 쉽게 많은 정보를 획득할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 최소의 비용으로 최대의 효과를 낼 수 있는 효율적인 교수방법의 매체로 라디오와 텔레비전에 관심을 갖는다. 물론, 이러한 매체가 교수학습에서 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수도 있지만, 학습의 보조도구로 활용함으로써 전반적인 교육시스템을 개선하여 학습증진을 이룰 수 있을 것이다. 이런 방식으로 교실학습뿐만 아니라 현장학습에서도 라디오와 텔레비전을 교수지원의 보조도구로 활용할 수 있다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서는 교실학습과 현장학습에서 교사가 활용할 수 있는 지침을 제안한다. 뿐만 아니라 정책 결정자와 학부모를 참여시킬 방법을 강구하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법에 따라, 현장 교사들이 라디오와 텔레비전을 더욱 유용하게 활용함으로써 교수학습효과를 증진시킬 수 있으리라 기대해본다.

LIFE INSURANCE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: EVIDENCE FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

RELWENDÉ SAWADOGO,SAMUEL GUERINEAU,IDRISSA M. OUEDRAOGO 중앙대학교 경제연구소 2018 Journal of Economic Development Vol.43 No.2

This article examines the relation between the development of life insurance sector and economic growth, for a sample of 86 developing countries over the period 1996-2011. We also examine the heterogeneous effect of life insurance on growth. The results show on the one hand that the development of life insurance has a positive effect on economic growth per capita and, on the other hand, that this effect varies according to the structural characteristics of countries. Thus, the marginal positive impact of the development of life insurance decreases with the levels of deposit interest rate, bank credit and stock market value traded, while the effect is greater in low and middle-income countries and in countries with high-quality institutions. Finally, life insurance effect on growth is less for SSA countries and British legal system countries. These results provide important policy implications for developing countries. Thus, countries will benefit from strengthening their regulatory framework by creating a sound environment that facilitates insurance markets’ development, which further stimulates economic growth.

Trade Policy and African Participation in Global Value Chains: Does Trade Facilitation Matter?

This study offers an empirical appraisal of the contribution of trade facilitation for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries participation in global value chains. We used new value-added data on a panel of 25 countries over the period 2004-2017. The results using pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and instrumental variable-two-stage least squares (IV-2SLS) estimators reveal that trade facilitation indicators such as physical infrastructure, information and communication technology, and border and transport efficiency support SSA countries' participation in global value chains. More interestingly, these results are robust at the sectoral level, particularly in agriculture, manufacturing, and textiles & clothing sectors for physical infrastructure and ICT, while the business environment is conducive to upstream integration of GVCs in the agriculture and textiles & clothing sectors. These results underscore the increased importance of trade facilitation in the era of global value chains and call for well-targeted sectoral policies to reap the benefits of GVCs.

Multiparity and Breast Cancer Risk Factor among Women in Burkina Faso

The relative lack of information on breast cancer etiology in Burkina Faso led us to undertake the present work to highlight risk factors. This prospective study was conducted using a questionnaire between January 2015 and February 2016 on women admitted to Yalgado OUEDRAOGO hospital, for consultation or supervision. The characteristics of multiparous breast cancer patients (n = 44) were compared with their non-multiparous counterparts (n = 36). The study found that increased risk of breast cancer among non-multiparous cases was related to body mass index (BMI) (p <0.001), age at menopause (p <0.004) and use of oral contraception (p <0.021) while abortion (p <0.002) was a risk factor among multiparous cases. These results suggest that even if multiparity is associated with a decreased risk in some women, avoidance of abortion during reproductive life should be recommended. The results provide preliminary information, which now need to be supplemented by survey of a larger sample in the national territory.

Lait caillé is a traditional fermented milk product in Burkina Faso. The objective of this study was to contribute to consumer acceptance of lait caillé . For this purpose, the production practices in rural and urban areas were identified through semi-structured interviews, while the perceived quality of lait caillé in urban area was investigated through a survey. Then, microbiological and physico-chemical parameters were analysed on samples from rural and urban sites. Finally, an attempt to improve the hygiene of the traditional processing was proposed by use of Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides stains as starter. These were previously isolated from traditional lait caillé . The results on the manufacturing processes revealed from the raw milk practices of spontaneous fermentation, backslopping and contact with bacterial biofilms attached to container. The survey on perceived quality indicated that traditional lait caillé possessed a niche market which could be enlarged by implementation of good manufacturing practices in the production sites. The microbiota of the end product was characterised by high loads of Enterococcus spp., Enterobacteria and Pichia spp. Fermented milks by starter cultures showed improved hygienic quality and a positive sensory appreciation. However, the use of selected strains might be followed by loss of some features of traditional lait caillé , which scientists should work to resolve.

Pro-Apoptotic and Immunostimulatory Tetrahydroxanthone Dimers from the Endophytic Fungus Phomopsis longicolla

Rö,nsberg, David,Debbab, Abdessamad,Má,ndi, Attila,Vasylyeva, Vera,Bö,hler, Philip,Stork, Bjö,rn,Engelke, Laura,Hamacher, Alexandra,Sawadogo, Richard,Diederich, Marc,Wray, Vict American Chemical Society 2013 Journal of organic chemistry Vol.78 No.24

<P>Four tetrahydroxanthone dimers (<B>1</B>–<B>4</B>) and four biogenetically related monomers (<B>5</B>–<B>8</B>), including the new derivatives <B>4</B>–<B>6</B>, were isolated from the endophyte Phomopsis longicolla. The absolute configurations of <B>2</B>–<B>4</B> were established for the first time by TDDFT electronic circular dichroism calculations, and that of phomoxanthone A (<B>1</B>) was revised by X-ray crystallography. Phomoxanthone A (<B>1</B>) showed the strongest pro-apoptotic activity when tested against a panel of human cancer cell lines, including cisplatin-resistant cells, whereas it was up to 100-fold less active against healthy blood cells. It was also the most potent activator of murine T lymphocytes, NK cells, and macrophages, suggesting an activation of the immune system in parallel to its pro-apoptotic activity. This dual effect in combating cancer cells could help in fighting resistance during chemotherapy. Preliminary structure–activity studies of isolated compounds and derivatives obtained by semisynthesis (<B>9a</B>–<B>11</B>) hinted at the location of the biaryl axis and the presence of acetyl groups as important structural elements for the biological activity of the studied tetrahydroxanthones.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/joceah/2013/joceah.2013.78.issue-24/jo402066b/production/images/medium/jo-2013-02066b_0011.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/jo402066b'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
