The Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) estimation method, which examines both short- and long-term effects, was utilized to analyze data obtained from the World Bank database and the ILO database covering the period 1992–2021. Employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modeling technique, it was observed that the proportion of women to men in parliament, the FSHS policy, and pre-secondary school enrollment all have positive effects on secondary school enrollment in both the short and long run. Again, though we observe a negative impact of FSHS on female secondary school enrollment in the short run, in the long run, it increases the enrollment by large, while we observe that women to men in parliament and presecondary school enrollment also … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cogent Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:W7OEmFMy1HYC 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.

Title A name given to the resource A framework for activity-based computer programming instruction in a blended learning environment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource This study develops a framework for an activity-based computer programming instructional approach in a blended learning environment of higher education institutions. The driving force for this study is the poor performance of most undergraduate students in the domain of computing science programs to comprehend and write computer programs to solve real-world problems. In addition, a fundamental problem with most HEIs in undergraduate computer science educational programmes is how to teach programming and how students can comprehend and write computer programs. Hence, the study developed a framework and a curriculum mediation for computer programming instruction in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Ghana. The action research approach was used to conduct the research which spanned through three different semesters from September 2019 to October 2020. The mixed method approach was used to capture data from 300 students and nine lecturers in three different HEIs in Ghana and different computer programming classes within a blended learning environment.

Title A name given to the resource Towards a cleaner energy system: estimating the odds of transitioning to an energy-efficient state Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah Description An account of the resource At the heart of the global transition to cleaner energy systems is also an inherent mandate of ensuring a transition to an energy-efficient economy. This study applies a two-regime Markov switching dynamic model to examine the possibility of transitioning to an energy-efficient state, using Ghana as the subject of analysis. Since changes in energy intensity do not necessarily suggest improvements in energy efficiency, the study controls for the effect of income, trade, and energy price. The results show that Ghana has a higher chance of transitioning to an energy-efficient state but a relatively lower possibility for such efficiency to persist. What's more, it would take 1.2 y for the said efficiency to persist. The study recommends a broad policy overhaul targeting institutional restructuring, energy financing, and regulatory efficiency as means to facilitate the prospects of transitioning and improving energy efficiency persistence.

Title A name given to the resource Is energy transition possible for oil-producing nations? Probing the case of a developing economy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Kingsley Dogah, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Christopher Lamptey, Lilian Arthur Description An account of the resource An expected decline in oil revenue and a complicated global energy market present significant concerns about oil-producing countries’ intentions to move away from fossil fuels. Understanding the dynamics of these concerns, particularly in light of potential energy transitions, is crucial for future energy supply and sustainable energy discussion. Given the scarcity of research on the issue, this study examined whether an implied shift from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy state is possible for Ghana, a small oil-producing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. A two-state Markov Switching Model (MSM) was applied to a dataset covering 1980–2019. Results based on a multivariate state-dependent regression technique were documented as follows: First, the probability of transitioning from a nonrenewable energy state to a renewable energy state is 76.5%.
