This study designed and developed competence based instructional materials to
support geography teachers adapt and teach the competence based geography
curriculum in O-level secondary schools. The objectives of this study were to: design
an exemplary competence based instructional lesson materials for teaching soil in O -
level secondary schools; assess the practicality of the designed materials through
classroom try-out in selected schools; evaluate the effectiveness of the materials in
the implementation of the competency based geography curriculum in O – level
secondary schools. The study was conducted in Dodoma area.
The study focused on promoting competence based geography curriculum in O-level
secondary schools where traditional teaching approach dominated classroom
practices. The study adopted developmental approach using Quasi-Experimental
design. Experts in curriculum design and geography teachers appraised the designed
exemplary lessons materials. Two schools were used in formative and summative
evaluation, involving experimental and control school. The study collected qualitative
and quantitative data through questionnaire, interview, observation, documentary
review and pre-post test. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the participants.
Data were analyzed through descriptive statistical, content analysis and paired t test
The findings indicated that teachers and students were interested with the materials.
Paired t test indicated a significant improvement and Average Normalized gain (g)
showed that experimental school performed higher than control school. The study
recommends teachers to find and use designed and competences based materials and
adopt student centered approach.The study suggests researchers to conduct other
similar studies involving more than one experimental school. |
