Clin d'œil sur un CDI francophone

Grâce au projet de coopération bilatéral franco-roumain « Education à l'information en milieu rural défavorisé », des centres de documentation et d'information ont été implantés dans les établissements scolaires de Roumanie à partir de l'an 2000. Très vite, « le phénomène CDI» a dépassé le milieu rural et le cadre scolaire et s'est imposé comme un pôle de dynamisme éducatif, culturel et social, ainsi qu'un vecteur fondamental de la francophonie en Roumanie. La formation des cadres et des documentalistes roumains a été assurée par des formateurs français de l'ESEN de Poitiers, IUFM de Reims, CRDP de Paris, CRDP de Reims, CDDP de Chalons en Champagne et l'observation des activités spécifiques au CDI a été possible grâce aux réseaux des CDI des trois régions mentionnées ci-dessus. A partir de 2002, une équipe de formateurs nationaux a pris le relais pour la formation continue des cadres et du personnel des CDI roumains et, depuis 2006, l'Université de Bucarest a commencé la formation initiale des documentalistes

Assessment of ICT Teachers’ Competence to Implement the New ICT Curriculum in North Eastern Nigeria.

This study assessed the competence of ICT  of rural and urban secondary school ICT teachers for the implementation of ICT curriculum in North Eastern Nigeria. The study looked at the competence of applying ICT technical literacy on the six components of teachers work in the secondary schools. All the one thousand, seven hundred and forty four (1,744) secondary school ICT  teachers from the six states of the North Eastern Nigeria participated in the study by responding to close ended questionnaire. The instrument sought information on ICT teachers’ policy, curriculum, pedagogy, technology, administration, professional development competences and obstacles to ICT teachers’ competences. Data was analyzed through grand mean, standard deviation and percentage. Results reveal that the competence of ICT teachers on policy, curriculum, pedagogy, technology, administration and professional development is low. Obstacles to ICT teachers competences were identified as lack of hardware, software, and financial resources, lack of electricity in most rural schools and insufficient information and experience from teachers in ICT applications. It was recommended among others that  ICT should be incorporated in the professional  development of teachers and ICT curriculum should be robust enough to enhance teachers job performance in schools. Keywords: ICT Curriculum, Teachers Competences, Curriculum Implementation, Secondary Schools

Physico-chemical, malting and biochemical properties of some improved Nigerian barley cultivars and their malts

Five improved Nigerian barley cultivars (ESCOBA, ASE-2, ALOE, GOB-2, SUMBARD) were obtained from Lake Chad Research Institute Maiduguri, Nigeria, and their physicochemical, malting and biochemical properties investigated employing standard procedures. Data were analyzed by means of ANOVA [at 95% significant level] and correlations using SPSS 14 software. Results showed GOB-2 grain and malt recording the highest kernel weight (47.50 g) and kernel volume (41.21 ml); whereas ALOE grain had the longest kernel length (13.40 mm) and GOB-2 the shortest (9.40 mm). GOB-2 had the largest major diameter (3.39 mm) and SUMBARD had the least (2.86 mm). ESCOBA, SUMBARD and ASE-2 cultivars had the highest protein values (as %N) of 14.90%, 13.90% and 13.69% respectively, while ALOE, ASE-2 and GOB-2had the highest total carbohydrates of 69.97, 69.39 and 68.90% respectively. All the cultivars had good germinative capacities (> 90%), with GOB-2 and ASE-2 having the highest germinative energy values of 96.65% and 95.00%. No significant (p > 0.05) changes in the dimension of the kernels after malting. SUMBARD recorded the highest malt yields (88.55%)followed by ASE-2 (83.45%) and ALOE (82.00%). The highest α-amylase activities of 105.34 and 96.23 unit/mg protein/min were recorded by ASE-2 and ALOE, respectively, with corresponding diastatic powers of 81.92 and 76.23oL. Thousand kernel weight correlated positivelywith protein (r = 0.500, P < 0.05) and with total soluble solids (r = 0.435, p < 0.05) but negatively with α-amylase (r = -0.869, p < 0.05) and with diastatic power (r = -0.838, p < 0.05). This study showed that the cultivars have good potentials for use as malting materials in beverage making

Physical and Functional Properties of Extruded Sorghum-Cowpea Blends: A Response Surface Analysis

Blends of sorghum and cowpea flours (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30 respectively) were extruded at 20%, 22.5% and 25% moisture levels and 120oC, 140oC and 160oC barrel temperatures using a single-screw extruder. Response surface methodology with central composite face-centered (CCF) design was used to model the viscosity, water absorption index (WAI) water solubility index (WSI) sectional expansion index (SEI) and bulk density (BD). Results obtained showed that the viscosity of extrudates varied from 6.90 to 19.58, WAI, 5.10 to 6.69g water/g sample, WSI, 9.50 to 25%, SEI, 2.16 to 4.97 and BD, 0.207 to 0.297 g/cm-3. Feed composition had the most effect on the physical and functional properties of the extrudates followed by extrusion temperature and feed moisture. The coefficients of determination (R2) varied from 0.71 to 0.97 with a non-significant (p&lt;0.05) lack-of-fit for the viscosity, WAI and SEI. Correlation coefficients of the observed and predicted values ranged from 0.60 to 0.95 suggesting the adequacy of the second-order polynomial in predicting these functional and physical properties.

Modeling of Residual Polyphenols, Phytic Acid and Protein Digestibility of Extruded Sorghum-Cowpea Formulated Foods

Blends of cowpea (10%, 20% and 30%) and sorghum flour were extruded at 20%, 22.5% and 25% moisture levels and 120oC, 140oC and 160oC barrel temperatures using a single-screw extruder. Response surface methodology with central composite face-centered (CCF) design was used to model the residual phytic acid and polyphenols, protein solubility and protein digestibility of the extrudates. Increasing the barrel temperature caused a reduction in protein solubility, residual polyphenols and phytic acid but increased the in vitro protein digestibility of the extrudates. The coefficients of determination (R2) were 0.97, 0.99, 0.98 and 0.89 for polyphenols, phytic acid, protein solubility and protein digestibility respectively with non-significant lack of fit in all cases. The correlation coefficients (r2) of observed and predicted values ranged from 0.99 to 0.98 suggesting a good fit for the model. Barrel temperature had the most effect on the responses. The second order polynomial was found appropriate for the prediction of polyphenols, phytic acid and protein digestibility of the sorghum- cowpea extrudates. Keywords: response surface, digestibility, polyphenols, phytic acid, extrusion

Physicochemical and manufacturing cost elements of complementary food formulations from broken fraction of rice cultivars, soybean and sorghum malt

The broken fractions of rice cultivars improved for yield, grain quality, amylose content and tolerance to common production constraints consisting of FARO 44, FARO 52, NERICA L-34, NERICA L-19 and LOCAL RICE. The rice cultivars, Sorghum malt and soybean were processed. Evaluation of the physicochemical properties of these new African rice cultivars together with their products yield and utilization (value addition) were the main objective of this study. The experimental design for these infant food formulations (5x2x2 factorial design) consisted of those 5 rice cultivars, sorghum malt (0, 5%) and soybeans flour (0, 30%). These formulations together with the raw materials were evaluated for their physicochemical properties. Manufacturing cost of formulations with ratios of rice to soybeans 70:30 with malt were selected and quantified. Results of particle size distributions showed significant (p < 0.05) difference. However, 98.38 and 94.90% of raw materials and blends respectively, successfully passed through 600 µm sieve aperture. Mesh 300 and 180 µm were found to retain the highest percentage particles. Functional properties of raw materials and blends were within the recommended range. More importantly, pH values of blends were comparable to infants’ natural milk drinks. Proximate composition of raw materials and blends contain 4.14 to 9.59% moisture, 0.37 to 5.12% ash, 8.25 to 45.35% protein, 0.41 to 20.00% fat and 26.54 to 82.59% carbohydrate. Blends fiber and energy ranged from 1.27 to 4.33 and 362.95 to 388.71 Kcal (1541.92 to 1643.04 KJ) respectively. Formulations with ratios of rice to soybeans 70:30 with malt and those of rice 100% alone with malt were observed suitable as follow-on formulae and for infant(s) with critical protein related ailments, respectively. Net profit generated is more significant than interest rate that could have been obtained from bank saving system
