Two CPUT academics were among the presenters at the International Conference on Innovation in Basic – Higher Education.
Zinzi Magoda, a lecturer in the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences, and the Faculty of Education’s Assoc Prof Zayd Waghid, presented their work at the conference, which was held earlier this month in Istanbul, Turkey.
Magoda’s presentation was titled: The effect of using business experiments as a teaching strategy for effective student learning: A case of entrepreneurship students at a University of Technology.
Her areas of expertise in research include social entrepreneurship, social media marketing, consumer behaviour studies, marketing, growth, and development of Small Medium Micro Enterprises and female entrepreneurship.
She is pursuing a DPhil in Business Management and holds a National Research Foundation grant (NRF). Magoda was recently awarded a Black Academics Advancement Programme (BAAP) grant.
She said the conference's focus on innovations in basic and higher education was “a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the most recent advancements and cutting-edge research in these fields as well as to exchange best practices in teaching and learning, leadership and administration, and research collaborations”.
She thanked CPUT and the NRF for the opportunity.
Waghid’s presentation was titled: Exploring South African university educators’ pedagogical practices concerning Global Citizenship Education.
“In response to the current pandemic, I investigate the philosophical underpinnings guiding university educators' pedagogical practices at a South African university. I use a soft versus critical Global Citizenship Education framework as a conceptual lens to investigate the extent to which university educators' pedagogical practices supported by educational technology can be reconsidered in order to achieve some of the goals of critical Global Citizenship Education in cultivating social justice,” said Waghid.
