“…While proximate analysis for moisture and extract was carried out using the recommended method of analysis of [11]. Participatory variety selection study (results not presented), was conducted in all the trial sites (eight farmer groups) with a total of 450 farmers (47.5% females) to assess farmers preferences for sorghum candidate varieties at physiological maturity where multiple sorghum traits as fore mentioned were used by farmers to select the best-preferred candidate sorghum varieties based on matrix ranking [12].…”

“…The first activity used in the initial workshops in 2013, 'matrix ranking', is a participatory action research tool. This activity can be run in more and less complex ways (see, for example, Mahesh et al, 2017), but given the nature of, and time for, these tutoring workshops, a simplified and adapted version was adopted. The tutors divided into groups of around 5 people per group, depending on whole group numbers, and each small group received flipchart paper and a koki pen.…”

Towards Inclusive, Participatory Peer Tutor Development in Higher Education

Peer tutoring has a long history in academic support spaces in universities, such as writing centres and supplemental instruction programmes. Small group peer tutoring has moved increasingly into 'mainstream' teaching and learning, and has become an academic necessity in these spaces. The nature of student-tutor engagements in these spaces is about sharing and co-constructing knowledge, and developing more independent student learners. Yet, tutor development and training tends to under-prepare peer tutors to create participatory, inclusive tutorial environments. This paper argues for tutor development itself to model participatory, inclusive, and development practices, such that tutors learn from being part of the training process how to improve their practice. Drawing on qualitative data from a three-year project at a traditional, historically black South African university, this paper shows how such an approach yields benefits for tutors that include building knowledge about tutoring that overtly includes tutors' existing knowledge and experiences. Ultimately, a more inclusive approach to tutor development has a strong likelihood of changing tutoring praxis, making tutorials more participatory, inclusive, and shared spaces for learning.

Pre-extension demonstration of improved black cumin technologies was carried out in Goro and Ginnir districts. The new variety Urgessa was demonstrated and evaluated against the standard check Gemechis where plot size of 10*10 m was used for each variety. Row planting was applied using seed rate of 12 kg /ha and fertilizer (NPS) rate of 100 kg/ha. Yield data, number of farmers participated on training and mini field days, production costs and farmers’ feedback were collected using field observation, check list, and focus group discussion. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze quantitative data. Cost-benefit analysis was used for profitability analysis. Awareness creation activities like training and mini field days were arranged for target beneficiaries and other stakeholders. Combined yield evaluation was carried out in which Urgessa gave higher seed yield of 13.84 qt/ha while Gemechis gave 11.73 qt/ha. Direct matrix ranking was used to rank black cumin varieties. Consequently, farmers gave the higher score for Urgessa variety. The result of pair wise ranking indicated that farmers gave high attention for traits of yield, number of branch per plant and number of capsule per plant. The result of profitability analysis also revealed that the farmer who prefers to produce Urgessa variety could get an extra net benefit of 24,360.00 ETB/ha than who prefers to produce Gemechis variety in single production season. Therefore, based on farmers’ preference and profitability analysis, Urgessa variety is recommended for pre-scaling up.
