Title A name given to the resource The Role of Microfinance in Promoting Women's Empowerment: A Socioeconomic Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gertrude Amoakohene, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Joseph Nkyi, Mohammed Musah, Peter Yao Lartey Description An account of the resource Women's economic empowerment is a technique meant to give them more authority over decisions, increase their income, and own assets. Since empowering women is essential to achieving the goals of development and reducing poverty, numerous attempts have been made to address this issue. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have emerged as key tools over the past few decades to not only address poverty, but also to empower women in particular. It is believed that by employing microfinance, which has been shown to be one of the most effective approaches, women may gain some kind of personal empowerment. The primary objective of this research is to analyse how microfinance affects women's economic empowerment. Microfinance significantly boosts women's independent revenues, their levels of asset ownership, and their savings, which all contribute to their economic empowerment.

Title A name given to the resource Community-led approaches to the academic development of pracademics in universities: evidence from Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yaw Owusu-Agyeman, Gertrude Amoakohene Description An account of the resource This paper examines how pracademics who teach at different universities in Ghana contribute to shaping their academic development. In this study, a pracademic refers to an industry practitioner who is employed by a university as a part-time academic to teach academic courses and support the knowledge and skills development of learners. Using a dialogical narrative approach, data were gathered from 14 pracademics who teach academic courses at different universities in Ghana. The findings revealed that the academic development of pracademics is linked to their unique professional identity, the social networks that support their personal and professional growth, and the complex professional community in which they operate. The narratives of the participants revealed that the network of pracademics serves to promote their common interests, which include needs (social, job-related, and resources … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Routledge Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=bwqWdp0AAAAJ&citation_for_view=bwqWdp0AAAAJ:UeHWp8X0CEIC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Fourth Republic, these volumes bring together leading scholars to consider the political achievements and failures that have taken place in the country since the early 1990s, and what these tell us about the state of politics and democracy in twenty-first century Ghana and beyond. This volume focuses on party politics, political communication and public policy. It assesses themes such as interest groups, electoral politics, democratization, constitutionalism, the role of the media, and gender and politics. The volume also places Ghana in a global context, demonstrating how lessons learnt from the country can be applied elsewhere around the world, and what is unique about the Ghanaian political experience. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, public administration and African politics.

Title A name given to the resource Student engagement and perceived gains in transnational education in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yaw Owusu-Agyeman, Gertrude Amoakohene Description An account of the resource Purpose Following recent calls for partner institutions to address the seeming weaknesses in transnational education (TNE) delivery especially in host institutions, this article was developed to generate new insights into how student engagement could explain perceived gains in TNE in a host university in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research design was used to gather and analyse data from students (n = 197) who were enrolled in different masters' programmes with three different TNE partners from Europe. We relied on a survey to collect data from participants who were sampled by way of simple random sampling method. Consequently, the data was analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings Results revealed that the psychological, behavioural and sociocultural perspectives of student engagement have positive effect on students' perceived gains in TNE.

Title A name given to the resource Transnational education delivery in Ghana: examining the benefits, challenges and future prospects Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yaw Owusu-Agyeman, Gertrude Amoakohene Description An account of the resource Transnational education (TNE) has developed over the years as a branch of international education that focuses on cross-border teaching and learning through local partners and branch campuses in host countries. While there have been concerns over the quality of TNE delivery in host countries, there is a paucity of empirical research that highlights education delivery, especially in host institutions. This study examines the benefits, challenges and prospects of TNE delivery in a host institution in Ghana. Using a mixed-method approach, we collected and analysed data from management representatives (n = 2), academic staff (n = 5) and students (n = 197). Results show that TNE enhances students’ learning experiences through diversified and reflective curriculum, highly rated pedagogical approach and acquisition of knowledge in global business practices.

Title A name given to the resource An Investigation of the Relationship between Perceived Organizational Support and Organizational Outcomes among Nurses in Selected Mission Hospitals in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ghulam Ahmed Bin Donkor, Mohammed Kweku Baidoo, Ebenezer Malcalm, Godfrey Adda Description An account of the resource The study investigated the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational outcomes among nurses of selected mission hospitals in Ghana. Compared with Public Sector hospitals, Mission hospitals in Ghana operate with very limited resources. Thus, they have very little to incentivize their staff. Nonetheless, there is the general assumption that employers who demonstrate generous disposition towards their employees will reap reciprocal benefits. Such employees work beyond the job demands even in periods of serious financial difficulties. Phenomenology research design under the qualitative research method was used to find answers to the research questions. A sample size of 40 was drawn through purposive sampling technique from five selected Mission Hospitals in Bono and Bono East Regions of Ghana. Data collection tools used in the study were interview and observation. The data analysis went through compiling, disassembling, reassembling, interpreting and concluding, phases. The text was sorted based on predefined themes. Illustrative words from the original field notes were selected and placed in a table. Initial (level 1) codes mimicked the original information in the case of semantic coding process and, in the case of latent coding, meanings imbedded in the text were generated; this was presented in a form of discourse analysis.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 Pandemic and the Adoption of E-Learning as Alternative Teaching and Learning: Perspectives of Tertiary Students Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ebenezer Malcalm Yaw Odame Gyau Description An account of the resource This study investigated the perceptions, attitudes, and challenges of students towards the adoption of e-learning as alternative teaching and learning approach during the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the case of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) and the Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU). The purpose of the study was to investigate and examine perceptions, attitudes, and challenges of students in the adoption of e-learning as alternative teaching and learning during the pandemic. The study adopted a purposive and random stratified sampling technique to respond to hypothetical issues; that there is a significant relationship between students’ perceptions, attitudes and challenges and the adoption of e-learning in the COVID-19 crisis. From the perspective of the students, findings include a lack of data bundles, online learning being difficult and the unpreparedness of the institutions to adopt e-learning within the first four weeks of the pandemic. The adoption of e-learning as alternative learning in Tertiary institutions, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, is quite novel and still evolving and educational institutions are quite far from absolute transformation.
