This chapter is a reflexive exercise, discussing the work of an international partnership, Transforming Employability for Social Change in East Africa (TESCEA), that aimed to reshape habits of teaching and learning in four institutions of higher education.
7,972 early career researchers based in the Global South answered our survey questions about their own research experience and about the research context in their country. This report summarizes our findings and reveals key themes.
This is a report about the experiences of early career researchers – women and men – and how these experiences are gendered. It is a “voices of” report, because it is designed to present what researchers themselves say about their hopes, concerns, successes, and difficulties.
This learning brief shares lessons from the TESCEA partnership and recommendations for implementing a transformative teaching and learning approach in higher education institutions (based on our experience in an East African setting).
Realising the potential of Africa’s young people requires a step change in teaching and learning within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This working paper describes how putting teachers at the centre of the change process, offers the possibility for real transformation.
In the first half of 2020, during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, INASP launched two adaptions of our online critical thinking course – a self-paced tutorial and a light-touch facilitated course. This paper discusses and compares their responses and engagement.
An independent evaluation of three main aspects of the AuthorAID project reveals a positive impact on researchers’ ability to publish their research, their overall confidence and research connections,
This article looks at a pilot project that was set up in 2013 by the UbuntuNet Alliance and INASP to work with National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in order to tackle the problem of the ‘last kilometre’ when accessing and contributing to global research.
This article explores the programme that was developed in 2013 by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Colombo and INASP's AuthorAID programme to develop scientific research-writing skills for academic staff and postgraduate students.
This article considers three of the approaches taken by AuthorAID to support early-career researchers in developing countries to communicate and publish their research: mentoring, online training and embedding research-writing courses within institutions.
This paper discusses how INASP supports library consortia and explores how consortia have grown and developed over the past three years of the Strengthening Research and Knowledge Systems (SRKS) programme, with a particular focus on Africa.
This article discusses the Working Together to Support Research (WTSR) approach piloted by INASP to stimulate collaboration between participants who are crucial to the national research system.
This article discusses the three-year pilot project that INASP launched in Sierra Leone in 2013 to improve access to, and awareness and use of, research literature.
