Überlegungen zur denkbaren Entwicklung der Außenpolitik Südafrikas nach dem Ende der Apartheid. Viel hängt davon ab, ob die Übergangsphase eher gewaltsam verläuft oder von Verhandlungen geprägt ist. Vergleiche mit der Entwicklung der Außenbeziehungen Simbabwes. (DÜI-Wsl)

Wiedergabe der Diskussionsergebnisse einer Konferenz an der University of Michigan ('The Re-Creation of Zimbabwe: Prospects for Education and Rural Reconstruction'). Im Anschluß diskutiert der Verfasser verschiedene Schulmodelle (Tansania, Mosambik) sowie ein Projekt der dänischen Organisation 'Development Aid People to People (Chindunduma-Schule) bei Shamva in der Provinz Zentral-Mashonaland und wirft Fragen zur künftigen Gestaltung des Erziehungswesens in Simbabwe auf

It is only a year and a half since the landslide victory of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) movement heralded the liberation of Zimbabwe from the control of the rebel minority Smith regime and its latter-day puppet Bishop Muzorewa. Hence, it is as yet very early in the life of a country reborn to expect a coherent picture of their national policies or their particular plans for education, especially when we find ourselves at such a distance from these events.

Despite the wealth of experience among simulation scholars, there is still little consensus on how to link gaming attributes to specific learning objectives. This article aims to contribute to this discussion and argues that specific simulation design can lead to reaching pre-defined learning objectives. The authors present a teaching project developed and executed for the Netherlands Defense Academy, how it was set up in 2005, and the way it evolved over time. The authors discuss how the methodology fits into the academic debate on the strengths of experiential learning. The simulation methodology used is rooted in experiential learning and typically supports standard learning goals and styles. When dealing with a specific target group, it is possible to pinpoint one specific, overarching learning objective. This allows trainers to link each individual aspect of the simulation design to that particular learning goal and, in turn, provides a valuable framework to develop, run and evaluate simulation exercises. The authors discuss how two innovative elements in simulating gaming can help to make such an approach work: combining closed and open scenarios, and new communication software that allows for continuous supervision during the game. The conclusions discuss how students respond to the challenges during the game and what the data from debriefings tells us about the methodology's learning appeal for a military target group.
