4 - Gender and Research Attainment in Nigerian Agricultural Universities
Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique,
Vol. 4 No 2 (2006): Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique
Résumé
L’étude exploite les résultats de recherche de 219 universitaires provenant de trois universités agricoles nigérianes, afin de comparer le genre et la réussite au niveau de la recherche. Les résultats montrent que le niveau de réussite en termes de re- cherche est légèrement plus élevé pour les chercheurs de sexe masculin que pour ceux de sexe féminin. Les qualifications et le grade académiques sont considérablement associés au genre et bien qu’il n’y ait pas d’association significative entre le temps de promotion et le genre, il a été constaté que les universitaires de sexe masculin bénéficient d’un plus haut taux de publication dans les revues et écrits de renommée. Il existerait également une forte corrélation entre le genre et l’âge, la durée de service et la représentation au niveau des instances dirigeantes. Il existe davantage de membres des facultés de sexe masculin à des postes élevés de direction, tandis que les femmes membres des facultés occupent les positions intermédiaires ou inférieures. Une politique de rationalisation de la répartition de genre permettant d’assurer un certain équilibre de genre au niveau du recrutement, de la formation et des opportunités de recherche pourrait permettre aux femmes d’avoir un plus grand accès aux postes jusque-là réservés à leurs collègues de sexe masculin.
