Programme Description
The main aim of this programme is to produce teachers with skills in philosophical reasoning about problems regarding education. It is designed to assist student- teachers to develop their ability in critical thinking, divergent thinking and power of a creative mind in dealing with educational problems in Tanzania. In this case, every student has to take courses in two teaching subjects: one being major subject and other being minor subject as well as educational courses. Learning in this programme includes lectures, independent reading from different sources, seminar presentations, practical assignments and teaching practices. The programme will be assessed through continuous assessment (carrying 40% or 50%) and university examinations (carrying 60% or 50%) of the respective courses. Continuous assessment will include a variety of activities, such as written tests, classroom assignments, seminar presentations, quizzes, project work and portfolio assessment. Also, students will be given opportunities to assess the courses they go through to check the validation of the courses offered under the programme. These types of the assessment will be complemented with a summative evaluation of the programme to be conducted after every three years.
