Description de la recherche / Description of my general area of expertise

My research works are centered curriculum development and teaching (effective teaching). The traditional methods of teaching are no longer sufficient and efficient to help learners acquire the necessary skills to proffer solutions to contemporary societal problems. For effective learning to take place in the 21st century, teaching must change from teacher centered to learner centered strategies. The big question is whether our teachers, both those in the field and those we train are well equipped to face the present-day challenges.

Recently became interested in the internally displaced children especially in line with their continuing school. In many countries affected by conflict such as Cameroon, internal displacement and refugees places huge strains on the already inadequate education facilities and many displaced children miss out on their schooling. Internally displaced children face significant challenges in exercising their right to education, from infrastructure, capacity and resource constraints to persistent insecurity, social tensions and discrimination. This creates a foundation for the conscription of young school dropouts and inhibits efforts towards sustainable peace. Therefore, an urgent need for more proactive steps by education authorities to develop national pedagogic plans for relief or emergency education is required.

From some of the research work I carried out, recommendations have been made for the revision, modification and in some cases renewal of the syllabuses for teacher training schools in Cameroon. The findings of the research paper on Curriculum Implementation in the 21st Century Classroom: Dynamics and Challenges for Cameroon Education Sector suggested that teachers are not sufficiently prepared in training to take charge of the 21st century classroom, classrooms are ill-adapted to technologies, and the fact that content of the curriculum impedes implementation.

I am also interested in environmental education which focuses on environment and sustainable Development. Describe the various ways of sustainable use of the environmental resources and illustrates the various ways of managing and conserving the environment.
