Quality Learning

The use of active methodologies in the university is a priority to achieve higher quality learning. One of these methodologies with the greatest potential for training in competencies is Project-Oriented Learning (PLA), using it in an innovative way. Associating the use of this methodology with the objectives of sustainable development, which have become even more important since the Pandemic by COVID-19, can be a good idea to achieve a more sustained and situated learning. The aim of this study is to find out to what extent research on teaching innovation with Project-Oriented Learning is associated with the Sustainable Development Goals. A systematic review was carried out as indicated by PRISMA through the following databases: WOS and Scopus. WOS found 15 articles on AoP and 6 on Project-Oriented Learning and sustainability. In Scopus 2 were found in 2019. The main results show that in the University, especially in the branches of engineering, AoP is widely used, however, it is rarely related to SDGs. Among the conclusions, we highlight the need for research on project-oriented learning and sustainable development goals.

Gender inequality has garnered much attention in the last few years. With the advent of the #MeToo movement, inequalities across genders, however subtle they may be, have been brought to the fore. As one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender equality is worked into the fabric of most constitutions worldwide (UNDP, 2015). However, pervasive gender inequality still exists in many industries, even in higher education institutions (HEIs). As no systematic review of studies related to gender equality in HEIs has been conducted, this study seeks to fulfil this gap. This paper seeks to critically evaluate research that has been conducted with regards to gender in academia and its associated dimensions. The purpose of the study is to i) identify barriers to achieving gender equality in HEIs, ii) analyse the outcomes of programmes intended to minimise gender inequality in HEIs, and iii) outline the lived experience of females in HEIs.

The purpose of this article is to examine to what extent the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hold out new promises for health in Africa. Two significant shortcomings will have to be overcome. Application of a ‘social determinants of health’ approach is still woefully difficult in Africa due to the stronghold that international actors maintain over local governments. The persistence of a ‘turnkey’ concept of health policies is reflected in the coexistence of a disparate range of programmes and measures, often driven by the development partners. Thus the low level of institutional complementarities is a crucial issue in the effective implementation of the SDGs.

Flow Of Information

This paper is about the role of local democracy and governance to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Increased reliance on locally generated revenue, difficulties in managing networks of actors with diverse goals and objectives, imperfect flow of information, and trust deficit in stakeholders pose major challenges to achieving SDGs locally. By doing a systematic review of the recent literature on decentralisation with examples from different local governments, the paper outlines ways in which these challenges could be addressed. The paper also highlights the need for enhancing local leadership capabilities and demarcation of responsibilities among local politicians and bureaucrats, a point missed in the SDG agenda.
