Abstract

This paper explores the embracing of e-learning in Zimbabwe's science teacher capacity development programmes, probing the opportunities and challenges. The discussion in this paper grounded in a systematic literature review to provide a holistic view through the use of the PRISMA 2020 checklist ensured transparency and consistency in selecting the 64 sources from databases (DOAJ, DHTE, IBSS, Scielo SA, Scopus and WoS). This provides a comprehensive interrogation of the issue at the centre of discussion. The paper highlights e-learning and how to embrace it in science teacher capacity development. In addition, it outlines approaches used to embrace e-learning in science teacher capacity development. This creates the need to look at how e-learning can enhance accessibility, reduce costs, and improve science teacher capacity development outcomes. However, substantial challenges such as limited access to the internet connection, scarce technological set-up and resistance to transformation from both science teachers were acknowledged. In conclusion, by embracing e-learning in Zimbabwe's science teacher capacity development programmes it creates a platform for promoting education and training. It can be recommended that the stakeholders involved in science teacher capacity development programmes need to establish a strong collaboration such that they can address the identified challenges. Therefore, the use of the right approaches to embracing e-learning in science teacher capacity development programmes can be a game changer in science learning activities.

Abstract

Southern African Development Community (SADC)’s internationalization of higher education curriculum presents substantial opportunities and challenges. This paper explores the multifaceted process of integrating global perspectives into the curriculum of higher education institutions across SADC region. The 62 journal research papers, selected through purposive sampling, were obtained from databases including Scopus, DOAJ, DHTE, and WoS. Using citation analysis and keyword co-occurrence, the paper explores key themes, trends and influential studies, articulating the discourse concerning opportunities and challenges around the internationalisation of SADC’s higher education curriculum. It identifies opportunities, which include enhanced global competitiveness, collaborative partnerships, cultural exchanges, innovation in research and supportive policy development. However, the paper also highlights policy inconsistency, resource constraints, quality assurance and cultural differences. The findings underscore the potential of internationalized curricula to enhance SADC’s higher education quality and relevance. Ultimately, this contributes to the region's socio-economic growth and global integration. In conclusion, the SADC region’s internationalization of higher education curriculum presents mutually significant opportunities and distinguished challenges. To maximize the benefits of internationalization, a concerted effort is required from member states to work together to create an enabling environment for international cooperation and exchange such that higher education institutions can unlock their full potential.
