It represents significant progress in knowledge production. Self-directed learning has become increasingly important, not only for education in South Africa but also for education sciences in the international arena. This is a result of the changing education landscape, caused by the demands of the 21st century as well as the rapid change in knowledge production. Learners should be equipped with skills to take responsibility for their own learning. New innovative strategies should be incorporated into teaching and learning in order to meet the changing demands in education. Traditional teacher-centred practices are still the norm in most South African schools and higher-education institutions and do not adequately prepare students for lifelong learning in the 21st century. The content focuses on the theory behind self-directed learning, explores strategies such as cooperative learning, problem based learning, case-based teaching and large-group teaching that enhance self-directed learning and the use of blended learning in a self-directed learning environment. The book demonstrates how self-directed learning can be enhanced in mathematics, computer-science and life-science education and through the use of student tutors for geography. Digital technology could, for example, also be used in innovative ways for education in isiZulu folk poetry. The findings are based on original empirical research and a sound theoretical-conceptual framework. In an environment of rapidly changing knowledge production, this book responds to the challenge of how to equip learners with the necessary skills to take responsibility for their own learning. The book presents innovative teaching and learning strategies for meeting the changing demands in education. Group activities, the responsibilities of learners and the obstacles that hinder their learning are analysed, and the way in which educators can support them is discussed. Educational values such as mutual trust are discussed, and self-directed assessment is explored. This is a timely collective work authored by experts who subscribe to the approach of self-directed learning. Educators should discover new teaching and learning strategies and value the integration of self-directed learning in the classroom. 606 $aSelf-managed learning 606 $aBlended learning 606 $aCase-based reasoning 606 $aGroup work in education 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aZulu (African people)$xEducation 606 $aEducation$zSouth Africa 610 $alarge-group teaching 610 $acooperative learning 610 $aproblem-based learning 610 $aacademic writing 610 $acase-based teaching 610 $ablended learning 610 $aself-directed learning 610 $aAutodidacticism 610 $aAutonomy 610 $aMathematics 610 $aSouth Africa 610 $aZulu language 615 0$aSelf-managed learning. 615 0$aBlended learning. 615 0$aCase-based reasoning. 615 0$aGroup work in education. 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aZulu (African people)$xEducation. 615 0$aEducation 676 $a374.0019 700 $aOosthuizen$b Izak$4auth$01361994 702 $aMentz$b Elsa$f1959- 702 $aOosthuizen$b I.

The basic concept of this book is to examine the use of innovative methods augmenting traditional plant breeding towards the improvement and development of new crop varieties, under the increasingly limiting environmental and cultivation factors, to achieve sustainable agricultural production and enhanced food security. In addition to developing improved crops for innovative industrial products such as pharmaceuticals and food additives, biofuels, oils and textiles. Three volumes of this book series were published in 2015, 2016 and 2018, respectively: Volume 1. Breeding, Biotechnology and Molecular Tools; Volume 2. Agronomic, Abiotic and Biotic Stress Traits and Volume 3. Fruits. In 2019, the following four volumes are concurrently being published: Volume 4. Nut and Beverage Crops, Volume 5. Cereals, Volume 6. Industrial and Food Crops and Volume 7. Legumes. This Volume 5, subtitled Cereals, focuses on advances in breeding strategies using both traditional and modern approaches for the improvement of individual crops. It addresses important staple food crops including barley, fonio, finger millet, foxtail millet, pearl millet, proso millet, quinoa, rice, rye, tef, triticale and spelt wheat. Chapters are written by 60 internationally reputable scientists from 14 countries and subjected to a review process to assure quality presentation and scientific accuracy. Each chapter begins with an introduction covering related backgrounds and provides in-depth discussion of the subject supported with 138 high quality color figures, and relevant data in 78 tables. The chapter concludes with recommendations for future research directions, appendixes of genetic resources and concerned research institutes and a comprehensive list of pertinent references to facilitate further reading. This book series is a valuable resource for advanced students, researchers, scientists, commercial producers and seed companies as well as consultants and policymakers interested in agriculture, particularly in modern breeding technologies. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aBotany 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aPlant Genetics 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Science. 615 24$aPlant Genetics. 676 $a630 702 $aAl-Khayri$b Jameel M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJain$b Shri Mohan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJohnson$b Dennis V$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349441203321 996 $aAdvances in Plant Breeding Strategies: Cereals$92184136 997 $aUNINA
