A reflection on collaborative teaching and learning in higher education: the case of the east and south african-german centre of excellence for educational research methodologies and management

Abstract

In sub-Saharan Africa, institutions of higher learning are advocating for a paradigm shift in graduate teaching and research, emphasising the need for increased partnerships, support and adherence to international standards (Skupien & Rüffin, 2020; Beaudry et al., 2018). This chapter explores a partnership, facilitated over ten years by the East and South African-German Centre of Excellence for Educational Research Methodologies and Management (CERM-ESA), and which is aligned with collaborative learning principles
