Kivunja, Charles – International Journal of Higher Education, 2015
Efficacy of a teaching strategy technically refers to the ability of that strategy to produce a desired or intended learning outcomes.

Kivunja, Charles – International Journal of Higher Education, 2014
As today's graduates engage with the demands of the current Knowledge Age, the skills that they need to succeed in their lives after college, or any other institution of higher learning, are 21st century skills rather than 20th century skills. Kivunja (2014) calls this "the new learning paradigm" (p.85). Unfortunately, those skills are…
