The study observed five introductory courses for one semester at one public University in Ghana to find out academic literacy practices being engendered and how critical thinking is fostered through those practices. Five lecturers observed were interviewed. Forty students from classes observed participated in group interviews. Interviews were replicated with five lecturers and sixteen students in two other public universities. Data was triangulated to identify emergent patterns of lecturers’ and students’ experiences with teaching and learning. Findings raise questions around the levels of congruence between lecturers’ personal epistemology and practice. Consensus about the importance of critical thinking in lecturers’ aims for student learning was not translated into literacy practices. There is a disconnection between the goals for learning and the teaching, learning and assessment system. Practices described by both lecturers and students are completely in tension with university polices. Lecturers need to learn new skills to cope with large classes

This paper aims at analyzing the gender gap in the field of Science. Education is very much linked with empowerment. If women will get proper education they can be economically independent. In this way women can empower themselves by building up their own agency. The name of Asima Chatterjee is very relevant because apart from facing gender discrimination she showed up her potential. She was an excellent Academician, teacher, researcher, inventor and politician. She proved the fact that women can perform multiple duties. They are blessed with various qualities. She was awarded many times, set up many institutions. She sacrificed her whole life for the development of science. She gave precedence to science to above all. Actually this paper wants to dictate the fact that we have to look at the merits or qualities, not gender. It is not desirable for a society to discriminate between male and female in science as well as in other fields. We have to think above the childbearing, rearing and caring attitude of the women. Women are also human beings. It is quite natural that they have some aspirations and it is the responsibility of the society to fulfil their dreams. We have to move towards a gender neutral society where women can be treated as human beings and there will be many Asima Chatterjees, not one.
