Project Title: Design and development of e-content to teach ICS in secondary schools, a case study of secondary schools in Dodoma region.

Change agent: LEYLA HAMIS LIANA-user:Leyliam

Organisation: University of Dodoma

Problem Statement:

In 2004, the Government launched Phase I of the Secondary Education Development Plan (SEDP I: 2004-2009) and Phase II (SEDP II: 2010-2014). As a result, a notable increase in the number of primary and secondary schools was seen. The number of secondary schools increased from 1,291(2002) to 4,266 (2010) with secondary school enrollment increasing from 328,318 (2002) to 1,638,699 (2010). This rapid expansion of secondary schools and a sharp increase in secondary enrollment did not allow a sufficient time for an equivalent teachers training and as a result Tanzania now faces a shortfall of qualified teachers, educational equipments (books, well equipped laboratories, etc) and teaching technology. The use of ICT in teaching and learning is an inevitable component in the process of improving the quality of our education system. Efforts to introduce and integrate ICT subjects in the secondary education done by MoEVT in 2005 of introducing Information and Computer Science (ICS) for forms 1 to 4 and Computer Science ad ICT subjects for forms 5 and 6 in 2009 suffered a lack of experienced personnel in the field, as a result the subjects have not been adopted by many schools, and till now the subjects are still taught on option basis. The ICS subject is now taught by very few government schools

Aims:

-To develop course contents for the given ICS syllabus including preparations of slides for the course contents and capturing audio and video clips relevant to the course outline.

-To combine the slides, audio and video clips into an interactive and engaging digital content using necessary authoring tools.

-To deliver the e-content to Secondary Schools in Dodoma Region and finally to help all other Secondary Schools in Tanzania to integrate ICT in teaching and learning.

Project Title: Empowering Teacher Trainees At Kaliro National Teachers College in integration of ICTs in the teaching and learning of poetry.

Change agent (name): Nellie Florence Okullo

Organization: Ministry of Education and Sports

Problem: the use of ICT in teaching and learning plays a great role in assisting teachers in content delivery, hence improving student participation.The use of ICTs in lesson delivery is influenced by the teachers’ content knowledge and its relationship to ICT. The ICTacher’s own pedagogical beliefs and values play an important role in the shaping of technology-mediated learning opportunities especially when they (teachers) use ICTs as a ‘partner’ to change the way they interact with their students during  the teaching and learning process. In order to successfully facilitate this process  teachers need to have an  extensive knowledge of ICT which will enable them select the most appropriate resources and  also appropriately locate  where the technology would best be utilized  in an interactive subject matter delivery. Teachers may need to develop new pedagogies in order to understand how to incorporate the use of ICT into their lessons. All the Government secondary schools in Kampala  are characterized by massive enrolment due to the introduction of the Universal Secondary Education. This in turn has resulted into in adequate number of text books despite the Government’s effort to have ‘one text book in the hand of each child’, insufficient teaching learning materials ill stocked libraries. The student –teacher ratio is 1:100 instead of the recommended 1:50. These large classes pose a challenge to the teachers who are over loaded because many schools are generally understaffed. These challenges and limitations pose a big threat to the provision service delivery in the schools. It is in this regard that there is need to empower teachers with the potentials of ICT, knowledge and skills in the integration of ICTs in the teaching and learning process in order to address the challenges stated above.
