Programme Description
The main aim of this programme is to prepare teachers/teacher educators for secondary schools and teacher colleges. In the context of Tanzania, such schools vary widely in terms of infrastructure, teaching, and learning resources and socioeconomic backgrounds of learners. Such variations need teachers/teacher educators who are adequately prepared in relevant professional areas. On this basis, students under this programme are expected to 139 take courses in one major and minor teaching subject in the relevant fields and educational courses. Learning modalities/approaches in the programme will include lectures, independent reading from different sources, seminar presentations, practical assignments, and teaching practice. The selection of the content is based on the objective of the programme and labor market. The programme will be assessed through continuous assessment (weight of 40%) and university examinations (weight of 60%) of respective courses and Teaching Practice for the assessment of pre-defined set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (standards) expected for graduate teachers. Continuous assessment will include a variety of tasks such as written tests, classroom assignments, seminar presentations, micro-teaching, and project work. In addition, stakeholders (heads of institutions, senior teachers/staff) will be consulted during the teaching practice to give an external assessment to students. Also, students will be given opportunities to evaluate the courses they go through. These types of assessments will be complemented with a summative evaluation of the programme to be conducted after every three years.
