Description
Dr. Alison Willis is an Australian learning specialist with a passion for education in developing contexts. In Understanding the Nature of Children’s Learning in the East African Bloc Willis presents pioneering research findings from Northern Uganda. In ground-breaking research, Willis worked with local teachers to develop a model of learning for the East African context. There is much literature concerning aid and development endeavours in Uganda, but there is little literature that deals directly with children’s learning and implications for policy and practice. This book fills this gap.
The research presented here reveals a dichotomy of organic and industrial views of learning; it explains how learning has become fragmented and hijacked due to the stresses associated with war; and it voices the hopes that Ugandan teachers place in education for a better future.
