“The Jifunze teaching methods under My Village project, the training relied on traditional methods that included learning by observing, watching, and hands-on practice.We learned through daily experiences, where everyone had the opportunity to teach and learn, both the teacher and the student at the same time.
These methods, as a teacher, helped build my confidence. Even when I started teaching mathematics, I already had natural confidence and the ability to make students enjoy the subject. However, it was through teaching that I realized the traditional methods from my village held a knowledge that could address educational challenges for students in schools.
When I was teaching students life skills lessons, I used experiential learning techniques. Each student was given a role, encouraged to collaborate, and exchange ideas.
One student named Maria, who previously had issues with self-confidence, greatly benefited from this approach. By working together with her peers and engaging in practical tasks, she was able to gain confidence and developed collaborations skills.
I will continue to use Uwezo teaching methods to teach students, as they are valuable and effective for the classroom.” Teacher, Joseph Mtulo-Kisarawe District.
