Design, Implementation and Effectiveness of Capability-Oriented Workplace Learning in East-Africa

Year: 2011

Type: book

Abstract: Workplace learning is to a large extent studied from a Western/Northern perspective (see the contributions in Malloch, Cairns, Evans and O'Connor, 2010), which is understandable given the focus of the researchers in the field of workplace learning. The objective of this paper is to study the introduction of workplace learning in the context of higher education in two East-African countries, Uganda and Ethiopia and to evaluate the effectiveness of principles for capability-oriented workplace learning in the case of Uganda by looking into stakeholders’ perceptions and labour market effects. Curricula with three educational institutions were developed. A strong emphasis was put on learning in authentic working situations. Various internships were planned throughout the programs.
