Wikipedia As A Pedagogical Tool: Complicating Writing In The Technical Writing Classroom, Andrew David Virtue Aug 2017

Wikipedia As A Pedagogical Tool: Complicating Writing In The Technical Writing Classroom, Andrew David Virtue

WikiStudies

This paper describes a series of pedagogical activities that instructors can use with Wikipedia. While there is research that details student contributions to Wikipedia, these activities use features on Wikipedia to teach about ethos, audience, edits/revisions, and style guides as they relate to technical writing. These activities were originally developed for a Technical Writing course but can easily be modified to fit a range of courses and disciplines.

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This article presents an inquiry-based learning assessment into why farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia were not adopting a new planting methodology promoted by the government and non-governmental organizations. It offers a process of reflexivity whereby assumptions emerge as the key barriers to misunderstanding, and focuses on the concept of divergent worldviews as an important consideration for understanding (non)adoption. The learning process offers insight for policy, programming, and research, emphasizing learning instead of definitive conclusions.

Coerced Agricultural Modernization: A Political Ecology Perspective Of Agricultural Input Packages In South Wollo, Ethiopia, Anne Cafer, Sandy Rikoon

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

To address systemic malnutrition, food insecurity, and a need to manage natural resources sustainably, within the context of an agricultural economy, the Ethiopian government has invested more than 15 percent of the national development budget in agriculture programs as part of the Agriculture Development Led Industrialization (ADLI) plan (MARD 2010; Berhanu and Poulton 2014). This article explores one such program – row planting of Eragrostis tef (tef). Tef is an important staple crop, with critical nutrient content for child growth and development (Stallknecht et al. 1993). Despite the use of demonstration plots and input packages, adoption of tef row planting …
