An Examination of the Influence of Globalisation on Science Education in Anglophone Sub-Saharan Africa
Koosimile, Anthony T.; Suping, Shanah M.
International Journal of Science Education, v37 n14 p2358-2385 2015
This paper takes the view that the emergence of some trends and practices in science education mirrors the influence of the process of globalisation in Anglophone Sub-Saharan Africa. Through a literature review, an attempt is made to link science education and globalisation by answering the question: "What influence does globalisation have on science education in countries in Anglophone Sub-Saharan Africa?" The findings of the study show some significant convergence of what is valued in science education in Sub-Saharan Africa in areas such as pedagogy; English language as a medium of instruction; assessment of learning; mobility of students in the region; and in the frameworks for collaborative engagements among stakeholders in Sub-Saharan Africa. The paper concludes with a reflective end-piece calling for more case studies to help scrutinise further the influence of globalisation on science education in Sub-Saharan Africa.
