To this end, the University emphasizes the importance of sound judgment and personal sense of responsibility in each student. All members of the academic community are expected to respect the highest standards of academic integrity. Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty is a serious offence at Tumaini University Makumira because it undermines the bonds of trust and personal responsibility between and among students and faculty, weakens the credibility of the academic enterprise, and defrauds those who believe in the value of integrity of the awards. Academic dishonesty can take several forms such as: Cheating – intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise (test, exercise, etc). Fabrication – intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise. Facilitating academic dishonesty – intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another student commit a breach of academic integrity.

The minimum pass mark in each certificate, diploma and bachelor degree course shall be ―C‖. Grade Point Average Course shall be weighted by multiplying the points associated with the final grade of a given course by the number of credit hours assigned to that course.

The uniqueness of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at TUMA is its additional dimension to the otherwise traditional, theoretical approach in the teaching of subjects. In the new millennium, the practice of teaching subjects for its own sake at the University level seems to have become obsolete. In the new era of Information Technology (IT), the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at TUMA will have its teaching geared more towards a career-oriented approach which would prepare students to face the challenge of globalisation in the competitive market. More details on this approach will be given under each department. Aims and Objectives In line with the vision and mission of Tumaini University Makumira, the paramount aims and objectives of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences are: To promote excellence in professional, technical, academic, and research endeavours. To develop critical, analytical, and conceptual capacities within inter-related fields of knowledge. To empower students with academic skills which will help them deal with the challenges of the modern world. To offer consultancies in the areas of Humanities and applied Social Sciences. To develop and promote courses that are job oriented in today‘s world of Information Technology (IT). To develop in due course (and all factors having been considered) postgraduate programmes which will promote national and regional development for self-reliance in high level human resources. To foster a climate that will produce leaders who will stand for truth and exhibit, in their professional leadership and personal conduct, respect for human rights and for ethical/moral values. 44 Abbreviations FCC LAN SWA FRE HI GE EDU ICT DEV CIM FHSS DLAPS Faculty Core Course Subject English Language Course Subject Swahili Language Course Subject French Language Course Subject History Course Subject Geography Course Education Course Information and Communication Technology Course Current Issues in Development Studies Course Subject Computer and Information Management Course Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Department of Languages for Academic and Professional Skills The Structure of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences The Faculty has the following departments: Department of Languages for Academic and Professional Skills NB: Hebrew and Greek are taught under the Faculty of Theology Department of Languages for Academic and Professional Studies Department of Social and Development Studies Department of Music More departments are being considered for the future, including Media Studies, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Social and Behavioural Sciences, Museum, and Archival Technology, and Land Use Planning, Hotel Management (Hospitality), and Tourism.

Languages) offered at Tumaini University Makumira is taught in their own right as languages with skills to be mastered. Once mastered, the teaching (especially in the final years) will be geared more towards specific trades or careers that are required in the field (i.e., in real life situation) such as in skills required by translators, travel agents, proof readers, lexicographers, curriculum developers, teachers, and so on. Arrangements will be made for students to visit such professionals at their work places (e.g., at the Arusha International Conference Centre‘s sessions where simultaneous translations take place). Other possible places of visits would include publishing and printing firms. Professionals will also be asked to come and conduct either seminars or arranged lectures on the TUMA campus. Such reciprocal visits will enrich the practical nature of the otherwise theoretical courses. Objectives The Bachelor of Arts in Languages Programme has the following objectives: To develop the student's ability to communicate better, in spoken and written forms. To teach the students core-courses such as basic skills/knowledge in computer and current issues in development studies. To develop a comprehension of the theories of Languages and how these theories apply to communication. 46 To instill in all graduates a sense of honour and pride in the profession by translating proof reading, lexicographing so that they might carry that message to the world. To equip students with the modern methods of using more than one Language.

Other teaching subjects are; Geography, Economics and History. More subjects may be added through (TUMA appropriate organs and when need arises). The Bachelor of Arts with education programme is a highly desirable and demanded programme on account of the ever mushrooming 51 secondary schools that need highly competent graduate teachers. The programme entails each of the student teachers enrolled into the programme, taking two teaching subjects which make it highly economical to the country, the region and the rest of Africa. Objectives The Bachelor of Arts with Education Programme has the following objectives: To develop the student's ability to better communicate, in spoken and written forms. To teach the students basic skills/knowledge in computer and current issues in development studies. To develop a comprehension of the theories of Education and how these theories apply to teaching. To instill in all graduates a sense of honour and pride in the profession of teaching that they might carry that message to the world. To equip students with the modern methods of teaching so that they can effectively deliver the subject matter to their students. Programme Expected Learing Outcomes Generate, promote and diserminate professional information, knowledge and skills on two teaching subjects (Kiswahili, English, French, Geography, Economics and History.) Describe the meaning, nature, principles and foundations of Arts with Education Demonstrate understanding of the roles and functions of Bachelor of Arts with education teachers in the context of the emerging trends in education development and exposing trainees to the techniques of handling specific content subjects. Identify and apply contemporary methods of teaching. Participatory approaches as underlined by constructivism are particularly emphasized, while at the same time applying modern technology. Demostrate knowledge, attitudes and attributes for the effective performance of the complex tasks and responsibilities of teaching two subjects. Construct, implement and evaluate appropriate programs of learing 52 experiences in secondary schools Offer various stakeholders such as parents, teachers and school administrators opportunities to support and monitor the developmental process of students systematically and plan interventions Promote opportunities for students to be screened for moderate learning difficulties handicapping conditions and designing intervention programmes Practice morality and ethical behaviours befitting professional educators in the 21st century. Graduation The total number of credits for each semester should not be below 20, and for the year 40. No student shall be allowed to graduate if s/he has not cleared all the required courses. The minimum credits requirement for graduation is 120/360. Duration and Structure of the Courses The degree programme lasts three years, in a two-semester annual system. The maximum period a student can take is five years. One semester consists of sixteen weeks of class and two weeks of revision/examinations. Course Registration Conditions A Bachelor of Arts with Education student (specialising in Education with Languages, History, Geography and economics) will be required to register for a major and minor combination from among two of the (teaching) subjects. Students will be required to take all courses in the major and at least one in the minor. If a student has registered for a major and a minor teaching subject and still the number of credits is incomplete (i.e. less than 20 credits per semester) then s/he should opt for more courses from the major part of his/her minor subject, or cross faculty course registration. A Bachelor of Arts with Education student whose major teaching subject is one of the above-mentioned subjects (say Geography) will be required to take all the major courses while at the same time is taking only minor courses in the second subject. 53 A student who opts for one of the above mentioned subjects (say Geography) as a minor teaching subject, will take minor courses in that subject and it is assumed that such a student is taking major courses in the other major subject be it History, Kiswahili, English, Economics or French, and vice versa. By offering a subject as a minor subject does not rule out teaching the subject at all levels of secondary education. For this reason, minor courses are actually those that are central in the Secondary school curriculum. In addition to subject specialisations and double majors prescribed under this programme, there will be Faculty-wide Common Courses (as outlined below) which all students will be required to take and pass in the first and second year. In all courses offered as teaching subjects, students must have studied and passed them with at least a C grade or above at CSEE level or equivalent.

These programmes are designed to further the training, skills, and opportunities for all levels of musicians, from beginners through advanced. 71 In addition, Music as a Secondary Teaching subject is being offered through special courses that fit in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Bachelor of Arts with Education degree programme. Those courses are specially designed to help those with little or no musical training become qualified to teach the National Music Curriculum for Forms I-IV. The Bachelor of Arts in Music has two primary objectives: to train music teachers that can build up and preserve the African music heritage in schools and communities; and to train church musicians that can raise the standard of music in the Tanzanian church, using both African and Western musical traditions. Students will take a wide variety of required courses including instruments, music theory, music history from Africa, Europe, North & South America, Asia & the Middle East, music production and business, music technology, various ensembles, music education, conducting, and more. In the third year students will be able to choose additional courses to specialize in conducting, music technology, music education, church music, and ethnomusicology. Music Placement Test: All incoming music students will be given Music Tests to determine basic skills in music theory and literacy. Students will also prepare a performance (audition) for members of the music faculty. Each applicant is required to prepare a vocal song and/or instrumental piece on one or more instruments. These tests are designed to evaluate the applicant's musical skills for placement, primary instrument, and to determine the possible instrumental combinations for future musical groupings. Instruments: All music students will receive basic training on all families of instruments (percussion, brass, strings, winds) plus piano and voice instruction. Students will have opportunity to receive private lessons if they demonstrate proficiency on a specific instrument upon entry into the music degree programme. Performance and Theory Standards: The Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM) standards will be used as guidelines for practical studies (instruments and voice) and music theory, ear 72 training, and harmony. Teachers may also add additional relevant materials from other sources. Music Examinations: Because nearly all music courses contain practical assessment, the weighting of coursework and university examination is different than for other courses at Tumaini University Makumira. The Department of Music has received special permission to use 60% coursework and 40% university examination in courses with practical assessment. Other music courses and all general university courses will follow the usual 40% coursework and 60% university examination scheme. Special Music Fees: There is a fee of 10,000 Tsh per semester to assist with maintenance of the instruments owned by the university (pianos, brass, percussion, strings, woodwinds). This is required from all music students and is addition to other required general university fees.

Changamoto hizo ni pamoja na kuwa na walimu wasio na sifa na elimu stahiki na hivyo kutowajenga na kutowaandaa vema watoto kwa ajili ya kuanza elimu ya msingi. Matokeo yake ni kuwa na kiwango duni cha uelewa wa watoto wanapokuwa elimu ya msingi na hatimaye ufaulu wa elimu ya msingi kuendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka. Mtaala wa Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali (Ngazi ya Nne) ni sehemu ya kwanza ya mtaala wa Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali utakaowawezesha waombaji wa mafunzo haya kusoma kwa mfufulizo kutoka Cheti cha Msingi (Ngazi ya Nne) hadi kuhitimu Stashahada (Ngazi ya Sita) kwa njia ya unyumbufu (flexible) ili kuwapa uwezo wa kumudu ufundishaji. Aidha ngazi hii inakusudia kumwezesha mhitimu kumudu masomo yafundishwayo katika elimu ya awali, kuonyesha umahiri katika misingi ya elimu ya awali, na kupata stadi katika masuala mtambuka na teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano. Hivyo mhitimu ataimarishwa kitaaluma zaidi katika ngazi hii. Sababu ya Kuandaa Mtaala (Rationale of the Program) Katika nchi yetu, shule za awali zinaongezeka sana hasa maeneo ya mjini kutokana na mahitaji pamoja na uelewa wa jamii. Hata hivyo, ufundishaji katika ngazi hii umekuwa ukionekana kama ni kazi isiyohitaji mtu aliyesoma na kufaulu vizuri. Baadhi ya vyuo vimekuwa vikidahili wanachuo wenye ufaulu mdogo katika kidato cha nne hadi kufikia daraja la sifuri ili kusomea ualimu wa elimu ya awali. Hali hii imejenga dhana kuwa ufundishaji katika shule za awali ni kazi za watu wenye ufahamu mdogo. Wataalamu mbalimbali wa saikolojia ya mtoto wanathibitisha kuwa katika kipindi cha miaka 0 – 8 ubongo wa 77 mwanadamu unakua kwa haraka kuliko kipindi chochote cha maisha yake. Ni katika kipindi hiki ambapo misingi ya namna ya kuishi katika jamii, tabia na mwenendo, kujiamini na ufahamu wa mambo mengi kiakili unajengeka. Kwa hiyo, malezi ya mtoto katika nyanja za kiakili, kimwili na kimwenendo yanahitajika. Katika hali hii, ni vema kumwandaa mtoto katika mazingira mazuri ya malezi, makuzi na ujifunzaji. Katika kuwalea na kuwawezesha watoto wa umri huu, ni muhimu sana kuwa na walimu wenye uwezo mkubwa wa kutambua tabia na mwenendo wa mtoto na kumwezesha kujifunza mambo mbalimbali ya kumjenga kimaisha. Walimu hawa wanatakiwa kuandaliwa kwa kuzingatia taratibu za malezi, makuzi na maendeleo ya awali ya watoto. Hivyo basi, lengo kubwa la kuwa na mtaala wa stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali ni kutoa maarifa na ujuzi stahiki katika kuwalea na kuwawezesha watoto kujifunza katika vituo/shule za awali nchini. Lengo na Madhumuni ya Mtaala (Program Objectives and Philosophy) Mtaala wa Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali umetayarishwa kwa lengo la kumwezesha mhitimu kukuza uwezo wake kitaaluma katika masomo ya elimu ya sekondari, elimu ya ualimu na masuala mtambuko ili aweze kuonesha uelewa mkubwa kwenye masomo yafundishwayo katika elimu ya awali. Matarajio ya Mtaala ( Program Expected Outcome) Ifikiapo mwishom mwa mafunzo ya mtaaal huu, mhitimu anatarajiwa aweze: a) Kumudu stadi za Hisabati na Udadisi ili kuongeza upeo wa kitaaluma; b) Kumudu stadi za lugha ya Kiswahili na Kiingereza kwa ajili ya kurahisisha ujifunzaji na ufundishaji; c) Kukuza uwezo wa maarifa ili kukabiliana na changamoto zilizopo katika kijamii; d) Kuwa na uelewa wa misingi ya elimu katika kujenga uwezo wa kufikiri kiyakinifu na kufanya maamuzi ya kielimu yenye mantiki; na e) Kujenga uwezo wa kufahamu masuala mtambuko ili kumuimarika katika tabia, mwenendo na maadili ya ualimu. Sifa za Udahili (Admission Criteria) Ili kudahiliwa kwa ajili ya Cheti cha Msingi (ngazi ya nne) cha Ualimu 78 wa Elimu ya Awali, mwombaji anatakiwa awe na ufaulu wa kidato cha nne usiopungua masomo manne yanayotahiniwa na Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania isipokuwa masomo ya dini. Ufaulu wa jumla uwe na alama zisizozidi 27 kwa waombaji waliohitimu kabla ya mwaka 2013 na alama zisizozidi 33 kwa wahitimu wanaoanzia mwaka 2013. Muundo wa Kozi (Structure of the Program) Muundo wa kozi kwa ujumla (General Program Structure) Kozi hii ina jumla ya moduli 13 zilizopangwa katika semesta mbili katika mwaka mmoja wa masomo. Semesta moja itakuwa na wiki 15 za ufundishaji na ujifunzaji na wiki mbili kwa ajili ya mitihani ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo semesta moja ina jumla ya wiki 17 ukiunganisha wiki mbili za upimaji. Kwa mwaka mzima kozi itachukua wiki 34 kwa ajili ya ufundishaji, ujifunzaji na upimaji. Katika mtaala huu moduli 5 kati ya 13 zimechukuliwa kutoka katika mtaala wa Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi ngazi ya nne.

Changamoto hizo ni pamoja na kiwango cha uelewa wa wahitimu wa elimu ya msingi kuendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka, walimu wa shule za msingi kutomudu baadhi ya masomo au mada katika ngazi ya msingi, udhaifu katika njia na mbinu za ufundishaji na ubora wa walimu wa elimu ya msingi kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Uchambuzi wa awali umebainisha kuwa waombaji wa 88 mafunzo ya ualimu wa daraja la IIIA hawana fursa ya kujiendeleza kwa ngazi ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi kwa kuwa katika mfumo wa sasa ngazi ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi haipo. Mtaala wa Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Nne) ni sehemu ya mtaala wa Stashahada ya Elimu ya Msingi utakaowawezesha waombaji wa mafunzo ya ualimu wa daraja la IIIA kusoma kwa mfufulizo kutoka Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Nne) hadi kuhitimu Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi kwa njia ya unyumbufu (flexible) ili kuwapa uwezo wa kumudu ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Baraza linatambua kwamba ni jambo muhimu sana kuinua kiwango cha elimu ya msingi kuanzia kwa walimu wenye elimu ya Cheti cha daraja la IIIA. Tofauti kubwa kati ya mtaala huu na ule unaotumika kwa ajili ya kuwaandaa walimu wa daraja la IIIA ni kwamba waombaji wa ualimu wa elimu ya msingi wenye sifa za kidato cha nne sasa watapata fursa ya kusoma kwa mfululizo kutoka Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Nne) hadi kuhitimu Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi bila kulazimika kufanya mitihani ya kidato cha sita. Mkazo umewekwa katika kukuza taaluma katika maeneo ya Hisabati, Sayansi, Lugha ya Kiingereza na matumizi ya Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano (TEHAMA). Aidha ngazi hii inakusudia kumwezesha mhitimu kumudu masomo yafundishwayo katika elimu ya msingi, kuonyesha umahiri katika misingi ya elimu, na kupata stadi katika masuala mtambuka na teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano. Hivyo mhitimu ataimarishwa kitaaluma zaidi katika ngazi hii. Sababu ya Kuandaa Mtaala (Rationale of the Program) Taarifa mbalimbali zinaonyesha kuwa kiwango cha uelewa wa wahitimu ya elimu msingi kinaendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka. Sababu mojawapo ya kushuka kwa elimu ni hali ya ufundishaji usioridhisha kutokana na mapungufu katika ubora wa walimu wa elimu ya msingi kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Mapungufu yaliyojitokeza yanaonyesha uwezo mdogo wa walimu katika kumudu baadhi ya masomo au mada katika ngazi ya msingi. Aidha ufundishaji wa masomo 89 ya elimu ya msingi umeonyesha upungufu katika masuala ya njia na mbinu za ufundishaji. Ili kukabiliana na changamoto hizi, Baraza lilishirikisha wadau wa elimu ya msingi ili kupata maoni yao. Wadau walionyesha kuwa walimu wa elimu msingi wanahitaji kuendelezwa ili kuinua uwezo wao kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Wadau walipendekeza kuwa mwombaji wa kozi ya Stashahda ya Elimu ya msingi mwenye elimu ya kidato cha nne anapaswa atumie muda usiopungua miaka mitatu ili kupata ujuzi na maarifa stahiki kwa ngazi hiyo. Kwa walimu wa cheti cha daraja la IIIA na wahitimu wa kidato cha sita, wadau walipendekeza muda wa mafunzo kuwa miaka miwili. Kwa kuwa kiwango cha juu cha elimu ya walimu wa elimu ya msingi ni cheti cha daraja la IIIA, ipo haja ya kupandisha kiwango kufikia ngazi ya stashahada ya elimu ya msingi. Kwa mfumo uliopo, walimu wa cheti cha daraja IIIA, hawana fursa ya kujiendeleza ngazi ya juu katika eneo la ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Hali hii imekuwa ikiwakatisha tamaa walimu, jambo ambalo linaathiri utendaji wao. Kwa kutambua changamoto hii Baraza limetayarisha mtaala wa Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Nne), ili kutoa fursa ya kuwawewezesha waombaji wa Stashada ya Elimu ya Msingi kusoma kwa unyumbufu. Wahitimu wa ngazi ya nne watapata fursa ya kusoma ngazi tano na hatimaye ngazi ya sita. Lengo na Madhumuni ya Mtaala (Program Objective and Philosophy) Mtaala wa Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi umetayarishwa kwa lengo la kumwezesha muhitimu kukuza uwezo wake kitaaluma katika masomo ya elimu ya sekondari, elimu ualimu na masuala mtambuka ili aweze kuonyesha uelewa mkubwa kwenye masomo yafundishwayo katika elimu ya msingi. Matarajio ya Mtaala Kwa kuzingatia lengo kuu, madhumuni ya mtaala huu ni kama lilivyoainishwa hapo juu, kumwezesha muhitimu: a) Kumudu stadi za Hisabati na Sayansi ili kuongeza upeo wa kitaaluma; b) Kumudu stadi za lugha ya Kiswahili na Kiingereza kwa ajili ya 90 kurahisisha ujifunzaji na ufundishaji; c) Kukuza uwezo wa maarifa ili kukabiliana na changamoto zilizopo katika kijamii d) Kuwa na uelewa wa falsafa ya elimu ya msingi katika kujenga uwezo wa kufikiri kiyakinifu na kufanya maamuzi ya kielimu yenye mantiki; na e) Kujenga uwezo wa kufahamu masuala mtambuka ili kumuimarika katika tabia, mwenendo na maadili ya ualimu. Sifa za Udahili Ili kudahiliwa kwa ajili ya Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi, mwombaji anatakiwa awe na ufaulu wa kidato cha nne usiopungua masomo manne, yenye uhusiano na masomo yanayotahiniwa na Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania kwa darasa la saba na yenye jumla ya alama zisizozidi 27 kwa kuzingatia kigezo cha daraja A alama 1, daraja B alama 2, daraja C alama 3, daraja D alama 4 na daraja F alama 5. Muundo wa Kozi Kozi kwa Ujumla Kozi hii ina jumla ya moduli 11 zilizopangwa katika semesta mbili katika mwaka mmoja wa masomo. Semesta moja itakuwa na wiki 15 za ufundishaji na ujifunzaji na wiki mbili kwa ajili ya mitihani ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo semesta moja ina jumla ya wiki 17 ukiunganisha wiki mbili za upimaji. Kwa mwaka mzima kozi itachukua wiki 34 kwa ajili ya ufundishaji, ujifunzaji na upimaji. Moduli za Msingi za Kozi Moduli za msingi ni moduli zinazompatia mwanachuo msingi wa ujuzi, maarifa na misingi ya kozi hii. Moduli hizo ni:- Matendo ya Hisabati na Vipimo, Uchunguzi wa Kisayansi, Lugha na Fasihi, Milinganyo na Namba Mraba, Jografia, Historia na Stadi za Maisha na Misingi ya Stadi za Kazi.

Moduli hizo ni:English Communication Skills, Falsafa ya Elimu, Misingi ya Elimu na TEHAMA. 1. Upimaji Upimaji ni sehemu muhimu ya ujifunzaji. Hivyo upimaji unapaswa uendane na vitendo vya ujifunzaji ili kuwezesha upatinakaji wa matokeo ya ujifunzaji kwa ngazi husika. Upimaji pia hauna budi kuonyesha upatikanaji wa matokeo ya ujifunzaji kwa mwendelezo unaoonyesha mfiko wa ujuzi uliopatikana. 2. Mfumo wa alama, madaraja na tafsiri zake. Na.

CERTIFICATE IN PRIMARY EDUCATION (MTAALA WA CHETI CHA UALIMU WA ELIMU YA MSINGI NGAZI YA TANO) Maelezo Kuhusu Mtaala (Program description - NTA Level 5) Mtaala huu wa ngazi ya tano umetayarishwa ili kukabili changamoto za elimu ya msingi. Changamoto hizo ni pamoja na kiwango cha uelewa wa wahitimu wa elimu ya msingi kuendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka, walimu wa shule za msingi kutomudu baadhi ya masomo au mada katika ngazi ya msingi, udhaifu katika njia na mbinu za ufundishaji na ubora wa walimu wa elimu ya msingi kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Uchambuzi wa awali umebainisha kuwa wahitimu wa Ualimu wa daraja la IIIA hawana fursa ya kujiendeleza kwa ngazi ya stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi kwa kuwa katika mfumo wa 93 sasa ngazi ya stashahada haipo. Kwa kutambua changamoto hizi, Baraza liliamua kuandaa mtaala wa Stashahada ya Elimu ya Msingi ili kuwawezesha wahitimu wa daraja la IIIA kujiendeleza pamoja na kuwawezesha waombaji waliomaliza kidato cha sita kusomea Stashahada (Ngazi ya Sita) ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi kwa njia ya unyumbufu (flexible) ili kuwapa uwezo wa kumudu ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Baraza linatambua kwamba ni jambo muhimu sana kuinua kiwango cha elimu ya msingi kuanzia kwa walimu wenye elimu ya Cheti cha daraja la IIIA. Tofauti kubwa kati ya mtaala huu na ule unaotumika kwa ajili ya kuwaandaa walimu wa daraja la IIIA ni kwamba walimu wa daraja la IIIA sasa watapata fursa ya kujiendeleza kwa kiwango cha Stashahada na kuendelea kuwa walimu wa elimu ya msingi. Mkazo umewekwa katika kukuza taaluma katika maeneo ya Hisabati, Sayansi, Lugha ya Kiingereza na matumizi ya Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano (TEHAMA) ili kuwawezesha wahitimu kumudu kufundisha elimu ya msingi kwa madarasa ya juu kwa kujiamini zaidi. Mtaala huu kitaalamu unaitwa Cheti cha Elimu ya Ufundi (ngazi ya Tano). Lengo la ngazi hii ya elimu ni kumwezesha mhitimu kuonyesha umahiri wa kitaaluma katika masomo ya elimu ya msingi, kupanua uelewa wa saikolojia ya elimu na unasihi, kufanya maandalizi ya ufundishaji wa masomo, kutumia kanuni na misingi ya ufundishaji katika kupima na kutathmini maendeleo ya mwanafunzi. Sababu ya Kuandaa Mtaala (Rationale of the Program) Taarifa mbalimbali zinaonyesha kuwa kiwango cha uelewa wa wahitimu ya elimu msingi kinaendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka. Sababu mojawapo ya kushuka kwa elimu ni hali ya ufundishaji usioridhisha kutokana na mapungufu katika ubora wa walimu wa elimu ya msingi kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Mapungufu yaliyojitokeza yanaonyesha uwezo mdogo wa walimu katika kumudu baadhi ya masomo au mada katika ngazi ya msingi. Aidha ufundishaji wa masomo ya elimu ya msingi umeonyesha upungufu katika masuala ya njia na mbinu za ufundishaji. Ili kukabiliana na changamoto hizi, Baraza lilishirikisha wadau wa 94 elimu ya msingi ili kupata maoni yao. Wadau walionyesha kuwa walimu wa elimu msingi wanahitaji kuendelezwa ili kuinua uwezo wao kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Wadau walipendekeza kuwa mwombaji wa kozi ya Stashahda ya Elimu ya msingi mwenye elimu ya kidato cha nne anapaswa atumie muda usiopungua miaka mitatu ili kupata ujuzi na maarifa stahiki kwa ngazi hiyo. Kwa walimu wa cheti cha daraja la IIIA na wahitimu wa kidato cha sita, wadau walipendekeza muda wa mafunzo kuwa miaka miwili. Kwa kuwa kiwango cha juu cha elimu ya walimu wa elimu ya msingi ni cheti cha daraja la IIIA, ipo haja ya kupandisha kiwango kufikia ngazi ya stashahada ya elimu ya msingi. Kwa mfumo uliopo, walimu wa cheti cha daraja IIIA, hawana fursa ya kujiendeleza ngazi ya juu katika eneo la ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Hali hii imekuwa ikiwakatisha tamaa walimu, jambo ambalo linaathiri utendaji wao. Kwa kutambua changamoto hii Baraza limetayarisha mtaala wa Cheti cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Tano), ili kutoa fursa ya kuwawewezesha waombaji wa Stashada ya Elimu ya Msingi kusoma kwa unyumbufu. Wahitimu wa Ngazi ya Tano watapata fursa ya kusoma Ngazi ya Sita. Lengo na Madhumuni ya Mtaala (Program Onjective and Philosophy) Mtaala wa Cheti cha Elimu ya Ufundi (Ngazi ya tano), umetayarishwa kwa lengo la kumwezesha mhitimu kuboresha uwezo wa kitaaluma katika masomo ya elimu ya sekondari, mbinu za kufundisha na kujifunza na ili aweze kumudu ujifunzaji na ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Kwa kuzingatia lengo kuu, madhumuni ya mtaala huu ni: a) Kuwa mahiri katika masomo ili kuongeza upeo wa kitaaluma kwa ajili ya elimu msingi; b) Kumwezesha mhitimu kuwa na uelewa wa falsafa ya elimu ya msingi katika kujenga uwezo wa kufikiri kiyakinifu na kufanya maamuzi ya kielimu yenye mantiki c) Kumwezesha mhitimu kuwa na umahiri wa kupima na kufanya tathmini za maendeleo ya kitaaluma kwa wanafunzi wa elimu ya msingi; na 95 d) Kumjengea uwezo mhitimu juu ya kuibua vipaji vya wanfunzi wa elimu ya msingi. Sifa za Udahili Ili kudahiliwa kwa ajili ya Cheti cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Tano), mwombaji lazima awe: a) Mhitimu wa Ualimu wa daraja la IIIA lililotahiniwa na Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania; au b) Mhitimu wa kidato cha sita mwenye ufaulu usiopungua masomo mawili yenye uhusiano na masomo yanayotahiniwa na Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania kwa darasa la saba yenye jumla ya alama zisizozidi 11 kwa kuzingatia kigezo cha daraja A alama 1, daraja B alama 2, daraja C alama 3, daraja D alama 4, daraja E alama 5, na daraja F alama 6. Hii ina maana kuwa mwombaji ni anatakiwa awe na ufaulu wa daraja E na S kwa kiwango cha chini, katika msomo hayo mawili. Au c) Mhitimu wa Cheti cha Msingi cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Ufundi (Ngazi ya Nne) kilichotolewa na chuo kinachotambuliwa na Baraza la Taifa la Elimu ya Ufundi (NACTE). Muundo wa Kozi (Structure of the Program) a) Muundo wa kozi kwa ujumla Kozi hii ina jumla ya moduli 14 zilizopangwa katika mihula miwili katika mwaka mmoja wa masomo. Muhula mmoja utakuwa na wiki kumi na tano za kufundisha na ujifunzaji. Wiki mbili zimetengwa kwa kila muhula kwa ajili ya mitihani ya mwisho wa muhula. Kwa hiyo muhula mmoja una jumla ya wiki kumi na saba baada ya kuunganisha wiki za upimaji. Kwa mwaka mzima kozi inahitaji wiki thelathini na nne kwa ajili ya kufundisha, ujifunzaji na upimaji. Ili kuhitimu mafunzo ya Cheti cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi, ni lazima wanachuo wafanye mazoezi ya Vitendo kwa muda wa wiki nane baada ya kumaliza muhula wa pili wa masomo. b) Moduli za msingi Moduli za msingi ni moduli zinazompatia mwanachuo msingi wa ujuzi, maarifa na misingi ya kozi hii.

Changamoto hizo ni pamoja na kuwa na walimu wasio na sifa na elimu stahiki na hivyo kutowajenga na kutowaandaa vema watoto kwa ajili ya kuanza elimu ya msingi. Matokeo yake ni kuwa na kiwango duni cha uelewa wa watoto wanapokuwa elimu ya msingi na hatimaye ufaulu wa elimu ya msingi kuendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka. Mtaala huu ni sehemu ya tatu ya mtaala wa Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali (Ngazi ya Sita). Lengo la ngazi hii ni kumwezesha mhitimu kuonyesha umahiri wa kitaaluma katika masomo ya elimu ya awali na kupanua uelewa wa saikolojia na unasihi pamoja na kupima na kutathmini maendeleo ya mtoto. Aidha ngazi hii ya mafunzo inakusudia pia kumwezesha mhitimu kusimamia utekelezaji wa sera, sheria, miongozo na kanuni za elimu ya awali; kusimamia afya za watoto; kutumia misingi na stadi za uongozi katika kuongoza na kushauri, na kufanya tafiti saidizi za kielimu kwa kutumia mbinu stahiki. Ni mategemeo ya Baraza kuwa mhitimu wa ngazi hii atakuwa na stadi na uwezo wa kutumia ujuzi na maarifa katika utendaji kazi kwa mapana zaidi; nyingi zikiwa juu ya kiwango cha kawaida kama anavyoelekezwa pamoja na kuwajibika binafsi na uwezo wa kusimamia wengine. Sababu ya Kuandaa Mtaala (Rationale of the Program) Katika nchi yetu, shule za awali zinaongezeka sana hasa maeneo ya 100 mjini kutokana na mahitaji pamoja na uelewa wa jamii. Hata hivyo, ufundishaji katika ngazi hii umekuwa ukionekana kama ni kazi isiyohitaji mtu aliyesoma na kufaulu vizuri. Baadhi ya vyuo vimekuwa vikidahili wanachuo wenye ufaulu mdogo katika kidato cha nne hadi kufikia daraja la sifuri ili kusomea ualimu wa elimu ya awali. Hali hii imejenga dhana kuwa ufundishaji katika shule za awali ni kazi za watu wenye ufahamu mdogo. Wataalamu mbalimbali wa saikolojia ya mtoto wanathibitisha kuwa katika kipindi cha miaka 0 – 8 ubongo wa mwanadamu unakua kwa haraka kuliko kipindi chochote cha maisha yake. Ni katika kipindi hiki ambapo misingi ya namna ya kuishi katika jamii, tabia na mwenendo, kujiamini na ufahamu wa mambo mengi kiakili unajengeka. Kwa hiyo, malezi ya mtoto katika nyanja za kiakili, kimwili na kimwenendo yanahitajika. Katika hali hii, ni vema kumwandaa mtoto katika mazingira mazuri ya malezi, makuzi na ujifunzaji. Katika kuwalea na kuwawezesha watoto wa umri huu, ni muhimu sana kuwa na walimu wenye uwezo mkubwa wa kutambua tabia na mwenendo wa mtoto na kumwezesha kujifunza mambo mbalimbali ya kumjenga kimaisha. Walimu hawa wanatakiwa kuandaliwa kwa kuzingatia taratibu za malezi, makuzi na maendeleo ya awali ya watoto. Hivyo basi, lengo kubwa la kuwa na mtaala wa stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali ni kutoa maarifa na ujuzi stahiki katika kuwalea na kuwawezesha watoto kujifunza katika vituo/shule za awali nchini. Lengo na Madhumuni ya Mtaala a) Lengo kuu Mtaala wa Stashahada ya Elimu ya Awali umetayarishwa kwa lengo la kumwezesha mwanachuo kukuza uwezo wake kitaaluma katika uwezeshaji na ujifunzaji wa masomo chaguzi yafundishwayo katika vituo/shule za Awali. Aidha, mtaala unalenga katika kumjengea mwanachuo uwezo wa kutafsiri sera, sheria na miongozo ya malezi na makuzi ya mtoto kwa usahihi ili aweze kuzitumia katika kuongoza vituo/shule. 101 b) Malengo mahsusi ya mtaala Kwa kuzingatia lengo kuu, malengo mahsusi ya mtaala huu ni: i) Kutafsiri sera, sheria na Miongozo ya Malezi, Makuzi na Elimu kwa ajili ya kumwezesha mwalimu/mwezeshaji kusimamia majukumu yake kwa ufanisi; ii) Kumudu mbinu za uwezeshaji na ujifunzaji kwa ajili ya kuendeleza Malezi, Makuzi na elimu kwa unyumbufu; iii) Kujenga uwezo wa mwalimu/mwezeshaji katika kufanya tafiti ndogo za malezi, makuzi na elimu. iv) Kumwezesha mhitimu kuwa na uelewa mpana wa matendo ya malezi na makuzi ili kuimarisha ujifunzaji wa mtoto Elimu Awali. v) Kumuimarisha mwanachuo kitabia, kimwenendo na kimaadili ili aweze kufundisha/ kuwezesha na kuongoza kwa ufanisi; na vi) Kumwezesha muhitimu kuwa na umahiri wa kuimarisha stadi awali za Kusoma, Kuandika na Kuhesabu kwa mtoto. Sifa za Udahili Ili kudahiliwa kwa ajili ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali, mwombaji hanabudi awe amehitimu Cheti cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali Ngazi ya tano. Muundo wa Kozi a) Muundo wa Kozi kwa ujumla Kozi hii ina jumla ya moduli 9, zilizopangwa katika semista mbili katika mwaka mmoja wa masomo. Semista moja itakuwa na wiki 15 za uwezeshaji na ujifunzaji. Kwa kila semista, wiki mbili zimetengwa kwa ajili ya mitihani ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo, muhula mmoja utakuwa na jumla ya wiki 17 baada ya kujumuisha wiki mbili za upimaji. Kwa mwaka mzima kozi itachukua jumla ya wiki 34 kwa ajili ya uwezeshaji, ujifunzaji na upimaji. Ili kuhitimu mafunzo ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali, mwanachuo anatakiwa afanye Mazoezi ya Vitendo kwa muda usiopungua wiki nane baada ya kumaliza muhula wa pili wa masomo. Katika mtaala huu moduli nne (04) zimechukuliwa kutoka katika mtaala wa stashahada ya ualimu elimu ya msingi ngazi ya 6. 102 b) Moduli za msingi Moduli za Msingi na Fani Msimbo ECT 06101 ECT 06102 ECT 06103 ECT 06 TET 06103 TET 06203 Jina la Moduli Mpango wa Jumla wa Maendeleo ya Kituo/Shule Uongozi na Uendeshaji wa Kituo/Shule Usimamizi wa Kituo/Shule Uwekezaji katika Malezi; Makuzi na Maendeleo ya Awali ya Mtoto Tafiti saidizi za Elimu Matumizi ya katika Elimu Tafiti saidizi Mpango wa Ujifunzaji (saa kwa wiki) F Z V K 3 1 1 Krediti kwa kila Moduli 6 4 - 1 2 8 4 2 2 2 7 9 4 2 2 2 15 2 - 1 2 7 Jumla 52 Ufunguo wa Vifupisho: F= Fundisha; Z = Ziada; V =Vitendo; K= Kazi za nje ya darasa na upimaji c) Moduli za fani Hizi ni moduli ambazo umpatia mwanachuo maudhui ya kozi ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Awali.

ORDINARY DIPLOMA IN PRIMARY EDUCATION (MTAALA STASHAHADA YA UALIMU WA ELIMU YA MSINGI - NGAZI YA SITA) Maelezo kuhusu mtaala (Program Description – NTA LEVEL 6) Mtaala huu wa ngazi ya sita umetayarishwa ili kukabili changamoto za elimu ya msingi. Changamoto hizo ni pamoja na kiwango cha uelewa wa wahitimu wa elimu ya msingi kuendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka, walimu wa shule za msingi kutomudu baadhi ya masomo au mada katika ngazi ya msingi, udhaifu katika njia na mbinu za ufundishaji na ubora wa walimu wa elimu ya msingi kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Uchambuzi wa awali umebainisha kuwa wahitimu wa Ualimu wa daraja la IIIA hawana fursa ya kujiendeleza kwa ngazi ya stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi kwa kuwa katika mfumo wa sasa ngazi ya stashahada haipo. Kwa kutambua changamoto hizi, Baraza liliamua kuandaa mtaala wa Stashahada ya Elimu ya Msingi ili kuwawezesha wahitimu wa Cheti cha Ualimu (ngazi ya tano) ambao wanatokana na wahitimu wa ngazi ya nne (waliokuwa wahitimu wa kidato cha nne), walimu wa daraja la IIIA au wahitimu wa kidato cha sita waweze kujiendeleza hadi Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi (Ngazi ya Sita) kwa njia ya unyumbufu (flexible) ili kuwapa uwezo wa kumudu ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Sababu ya Kuandaa Mtaala (Rationale of the Program) Taarifa mbalimbali zinaonyesha kuwa kiwango cha uelewa wa wahitimu ya elimu msingi kinaendelea kushuka mwaka hadi mwaka. Sababu mojawapo ya kushuka kwa elimu ni hali ya ufundishaji usioridhisha kutokana na mapungufu katika ubora wa walimu wa elimu ya msingi kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Mapungufu yaliyojitokeza yanaonyesha uwezo mdogo wa walimu katika kumudu baadhi ya 106 masomo au mada katika ngazi ya msingi. Aidha ufundishaji wa masomo ya elimu ya msingi umeonyesha upungufu katika masuala ya njia na mbinu za ufundishaji. Ili kukabiliana na changamoto hizi, Baraza lilishirikisha wadau wa elimu ya msingi ili kupata maoni yao. Wadau walionyesha kuwa walimu wa elimu msingi wanahitaji kuendelezwa ili kuinua uwezo wao kitaaluma na kitaalamu. Wadau walipendekeza kuwa mwombaji wa kozi ya Stashahda ya Elimu ya msingi mwenye elimu ya kidato cha nne anapaswa atumie muda usiopungua miaka mitatu ili kupata ujuzi na maarifa stahiki kwa ngazi hiyo. Kwa walimu wa cheti cha daraja la IIIA na wahitimu wa kidato cha sita, wadau walipendekeza muda wa mafunzo kuwa miaka miwili. Kwa kuwa kiwango cha juu cha elimu ya walimu wa elimu ya msingi ni cheti cha daraja la IIIA, ipo haja ya kupandisha kiwango kufikia ngazi ya stashahada ya elimu ya msingi. Kwa mfumo uliopo, walimu wa cheti cha daraja IIIA, hawana fursa ya kujiendeleza ngazi ya juu katika eneo la ufundishaji wa elimu ya msingi. Hali hii imekuwa ikiwakatisha tamaa walimu, jambo ambalo linaathiri utendaji wao. Kwa kutambua changamoto hii Baraza limetayarisha mtaala wa Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi, ili kutoa fursa kwa walimu wa cheti cha daraja la IIIA na wahitimu wa kidato cha sita kujiendelea katika kufundisha katika Elimu ya Msingi. Aidha kutokana na maoni ya wadau, walimu wengi wanaofundisha katika shule za msingi ambao wana tuzo ya stashahada au zaidi wanapata nafasi ya kuteuliwa kuwa walimu wakuu. Hivyo ngazi hii pamoja na kujenga ubobezi wa mwalimu katika kufundisha masomo chaguzi, imejikita katika kumpa mwanachuo stadi za kuongoza shule kwa kuzingatia miongozo iliyopo na kwa kushirikisha wadau. Wahitimu wa stashahada watapata fursa ya kujiendeleza katika ngazi ya elimu ya juu ili kujenga uwezo wa kutatua changamoto za elimu ya msingi kisayansi. Lengo na Madhumuni ya Mtaala 107 Lengo kuu Mtaala wa Stashahada ya Elimu ya Msingi umetayarishwa kwa lengo la kumwezesha mwanachuo kukuza uwezo wake kitaaluma katika ufundishaji na ujifunzaji wa masomo chaguzi yafundishwayo katika shule za msingi. Aidha, mtaala unalenga katika kumjengea mwanachuo uwezo wa kutafsiri sera za elimu kwa usahihi ili aweze kuzitumia katika kuongoza shule za msingi. Malengo mahsusi ya mtaala Kwa kuzingatia lengo kuu, malengo mahsusi ya mtaala huu ni: i) Kutafsiri sera za kielimu kwa ajili ya kusimamia elimu kwa ufanisi; ii) Kumudu mbinu za kufundishia na kujifunzia kwa ajili ya kuendeleza elimu kwa unyumbufu; iii) Kujenga uwezo wa mwalimu katika kufanya tafiti ndogo za kilemu; na iv) Kumwezesha mhitimu kuwa na uelewa mpana wa masomo chaguzi ili kuboresha ufundishaji na ujifunzaji wa elimu msingi; na v) Kumuimarisha mwanachuo kitabia, kimwenendo na kimaadili ili aweze kufundisha na kuongoza kwa ufanisi. Sifa za Udahili Ili kudahiliwa kwa ajili ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi, mwombaji hanabudi awe mhitimu wa Cheti cha Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi. Muundo wa Kozi kwa ujumla Kozi hii ina jumla ya 13, zilizopangwa katika semesta mbili katika mwaka mmoja wa masomo. Semesta moja utakuwa na wiki 15 za ufundishaji na ujifunzaji. Kwa kila semesta, wiki mbili zimetengwa kwa ajili ya mitihani ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo, muhula mmoja utakuwa na jumla ya wiki 17 baada ya kujumuisha wiki mbili za upimaji. Kwa mwaka mzima kozi itachukua jumla ya wiki 34 kwa ajili ya ufundishaji, ujifunzaji na upimaji. Ili kuhitimu mafunzo ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi, mwanachuo anatakiwa afanye Mazoezi ya Vitendo kwa muda usiopungua wiki nane baada ya kumaliza muhula wa pili wa masomo. Mazoezi ya Vitendo ni Moduli 108 inayojitegemea ambayo kila mwanachuo atatakiwa kuifanya, kupimwa na kufaulu ili aweze kupata. Maelezo ya aina za moduli Kozi hii ina moduli ambazo zimegawanywa kwenye makundi kama ifuatavyo: i) Moduli za msingi Moduli za msingi kwa kozi ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi, ni moduli zinazompatia mwanachuo msingi wa ujuzi, maarifa na misingi ya kozi ya hii. Moduli hizi zitasomwa na wanachuo wote bila kuchagua. Moduli hizo ni: Sera na Elimu, Uongozi katika Elimu, Usimamizi wa Elimu Shuleni, Tafiti Saidizi za Kielimu, na Matumizi ya Tafiti Saidizi katika Elimu. ii) Moduli za fani Hizi ni moduli ambazo humpatia mwanachuo maudhui ya kozi ya Stashahada ya Ualimu wa Elimu ya Msingi. Moduli hizo zinaonyesha kwa upana maeneo muhimu ya kozi hii. Ili kumuimarisha mwanachuo, moduli za: Mazoezi ya Kufundisha Somo Chaguzi kundi la I na Mazoezi ya Kufundisha Somo Chaguzi kundi la II zitawahusu wanachuo wote. Ili kutekeleza moduli hizi kwa ufanisi, wanachuo watachagua moduli mbili chaguzi kwa mpangilio ufuatao: Moduli chaguzi kundi la I itakuwa aidha ―Mbinu za kujifunzia na kufundishia somo la Hisabati au ―Methods and Techniques of Teaching English Language‖. Moduli chaguzi kundi la II kwa aliyechagua ―Mbinu za kujifunzia na kufundishia somo la Hisabati‖ kama moduli ya kwanza itakuwa aidha ―Mbinu za kujifunzia na kufundishia Somo la Sayansi au ―Mbinu za kujifunzia na kufundishia Somo la Stadi za Kazi‖.

TUMA seek teachers who can articulate what it means to a professional teacher and admininstrator and who are able to integrate their faith and culture in an all-inclusive community. The degree program is structured to achieve that objective. Instruction is delivered by a combination of core education faculty members and experienced field practitioners who have attained advanced academic training in the field of educational studies combined with extensive experience as teachers. Our student graduates are provided with the linkages and transformation of theory to extensive practicum experiences in various school settings. They observe modeling of team teaching and staff collaboration in cohort settings and quickly recognize current best practices to meet diverse needs and engage all students. Finally, the success of our program is based on close working relationships with all of our education stakeholders and members of the community. Rationale for Development of Programme Tanzania as any other country in the world is faced with rapid socioeconomical changes. The inevitability of change is unavoidable phenomenon but it is necessary to create a smooth and peaceful transition to change and avoid crisis in the process. Bachelor of Education has emerged to be of necessity because of following reasons: 113 i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Socio-economic and socio-political changes are putting pressure on individuals to acquire knowledge and skills to cope with competitive world in all aspects of life. Economic policies and democratization of governance require individuals with necessary skills to engage in development and social well-being in a competing basis. The changing social infrastructures had also encouraged urbanization that raises concern. Due to urbanization there are emerging social crises in a multifaceted manner. As a result of different types of crises face families and individuals The emerging technological systems and values are causing serious concerns to parents, guardians and society. Drug addiction, alcoholic behaviour, sexual abuse, prostitution and pornography viewing are becoming the order of the day. Refugees, divorcee‘s, street children and delinquents are at the shooting rate. Economically, unemployment, bankruptcy, retirement, and many others are causing much pain, anxiety and different other kinds of emotional disorders. As a society, Tanzania needs professional Teachers who can offer guidance in such societal needs. Persons working in educational institutions, health service centres, rehabilitation centres, community welfare service institutions and law enforcement practitioners need Teaching professional skills so that they are enabled to revert many social deviations and abnormalities to normal social acceptable conduct. Programme Objectives and Philosophy The Bachelor of Education is the major programme of the Faculty of Education. The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) programme offered at Tumaini University Makumira, is specifically designed to produce high-quality educational officers and secondary school teachers specifically trained to teach languages, foreign and domestic to Tanzania, in the areas of Kiswahili, English and French; other teachers are trained to teach Geography, History and Computer Science. The emphasis is however placed on profession education studies. Students choose two (2) teaching subjects which taken from the 114 Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Faculty of Science and Technology. As it is common practice in dynamic programmes, the B. Ed. Programme at TUMA is always subjected to review in order to update it and as the need arises, even add new courses through the relevant TUMA and TCU boards. The objectives of the B.Ed Programme are the same as those of the Faculty of Education.

It is also in accordance with Ministry of Education policy to make sure that preprimary education becomes a corner stone for the improvement of the quality of education in Tanzania. Therefore, it is the high and right time that the early childhood education is promoted due to its crucial and importance to child development. Rationale for Establishing the BEECE Programme Early childhood education is now recognized internationally as crucial to the human development process. The sensitivity of the early childhood period creates a need for specialists to work with these young children. Consequently, the Programme is geared towards the preparation and development of specialists who will pave the way for innovative practices, offer leadership in curriculum development, spearhead the integrated services approach and engage in research 127 activities that would enrich their knowledge about children from birth to eight years. The programme seeks to build on the work that has been done in the Diploma Programme by the Teachers‘ Training Colleges. This BEECE program will prepare individuals to teach at the pre-school and elementary levels with a specialization in Early Childhood Education. It will prepare the expert and practitioners in the field of early childhood education. The programme will have core and optional courses to give students the opportunity to select courses in areas of their interest. The program will also have practicum to give the students hand-on experience from the field. While the taught courses will be conducted during the normal teaching semester, supervised practicum will be done during the long vacation. Programme Objectives and Philosophy a) Overall objective The BEECE course intent to equip the graduate teacher with professional knowledge and skills to be well placed to teach educational courses related to children. The BEECE graduates will contribute towards reducing shortage of teachers in the secondary schools, Teacher Training Colleges and other areas of education. b) Specific objectives The BEECE has the following specific objectives: On completing the course, the graduate will have a broad knowledge and skills that will enhance the capability and confidence; (i) to teach a student how effectively educate a child (ii) to instill in the students a sense of child care for his or her future development of the country (iii) To develop knowledge and skills to graduates of the course to participate fully in providing early childhood education to the public. (iv) To equip graduates with knowledge and skills for developing proper methods of teaching children. Programme Expected Outcomes On successful completion of the Early Childhood Education Programme teacher trainees will have these attributes of learning outcomes 128 Generate, promote and disseminate professional information, knowledge and skills on early childhood development and learning. Describe the meaning, nature, principles and foundations of Early Childhood Education Demonstrate understanding of the roles and functions of Early Childhood teachers in the context of the emerging trends in child development and exposing trainees to the techniques of handling specific Early Childhood subjects. Demonstrate knowledge, attitudes and attributes for the effective performance of the complex tasks and responsibilities of earlychildhood teachers Construct, implement and evaluate appropriate programs of learning experiences for preschool and infants-school children. Offer parents/caregivers opportunities to support and monitor the developmental processes of children systematically and plan interventions. Promote opportunities for children to be screened for moderate learning difficulties and handicapping conditions and designing intervention programmes This programme applies different instructional methods in order for students to achieve the needed outcome which is mainly for them to be knowledgable and have skills and competence mastery to achieve the stipulated outcomes of this programme. The programme requires a lecturer to teach, and this makes 40% of the learning hours and seminars that make 20%. The rest of the 40% learning hours are spent for individual learning and assignments. Participation in class, individual assignments, group discussions, and teaching practice as a model are all assessed and graded. At the end of the course students are given a university examination. Course work carries 40% of the total score while examination carries 60%. Stucture of the Program BEECE programme will comprise SIX semesters covering a three-year period. The BEECE degree programme consists of core and elective courses from semesters I to VI. While in semester VI, the program gives students opportunity to do research work leading to writing a well 129 researched paper based on identified educational issue. The total number of credits for each semester should not be below 20 (60 for the new TCU coding system), and for the year 40 (120: TCU).

Finally, the success of our program is based on close working relationships with all of our education stakeholders and members of the community. Rationale for development of programme Since independence Tanzania has been struggling to strengthen primary education. Currently, Tanzania has made significant progress in the development of primary education. The Primary Education Development Programme (PEDP) has contributed significantly to the development of this basic education sector (Tanzania Education Sector Analysis, UNESCO, Dar es Salaam, 2011). However, in recent years, despite the encouraging enrollment in primary education the quality of education is still poor and does not allow young people to create employment or compete in the labour market (Sumra &Katabaro 2014, Declining Quality of Education: Suggestions for Arresting and Reversing the Trend, ESRF). It is this need of improving the quality of education in primary education that has necessitated Tumaini University Makumira to the develop this programme and fill this gap. Programme objectives and philosophy The main aims of bachelor of education in primary education are: (i) To equip teachers with knowledge and skills in both content and pedagogy of primary education 132 (ii) To provide educational research skills so as to increase their capacity to deal with educational problems (iii) To expose student teachers to various teaching methods and strategies applied in the delivery of primary education (iv) To impart educational management and leadership skills to primary school teachers (v) To equip teachers with knowledge and skills for proper application of technology in teaching and learning Programme expected learning outcomes On successful completion of the programme, the graduates are expected to: Demonstrate competence in both content and pedagogy of primary education Analyze primary education curriculum and implement it appropriately Become reflective, creative and critical in both practice and approach to teaching and learning Develop teaching and learning materials for primary school pupils Analyse primary education curriculum and implement it appropriately Demonstrate skills in managing primary school classrooms Assess teaching and learning using appropriate approaches and procedures Be able to use technology appropriately in teaching and learning Be capable to deal with learners with diverse learning needs Become reflective, creative and critical in both practice and approach to teaching and learning Be able to use technology appropriately in teaching and learning Work collaboratively and communicate effectively in educational contexts Structure of the Program BEPE programme will comprise SIX semesters covering a three-year period. The BEPE degree programme consists of core and elective courses from semesters I to VI. While in semester VI , the program gives students opportunity to do research work leading to writing a well133 researched paper based on identified educational issue.

CIM) equips individuals with knowledge, skills and competencies to use a computer for many tasks - from word processing to surfing the Web to managing your music, photo, and movie collections. Algorithmic Thinking It focuses on the discovery and development of algorithms, or methods of solving problems that can be automated. No matter what field you 153 work in, if you can conceptualize the solution of a problem as an algorithm, that problem can be solved with a computer. Algorithmic thinking that you learn to do in computer science is a systematic and general-purpose approach to problem solving that cuts across all of the disciplines in science, engineering, and the arts. Designing and Making Things It has sometimes been called the "science of the artificial". Computer scientists design and construct descriptions (algorithms) of entirely new processes never before encountered in nature. These processes can make or bring into being an entirely artificial world. Unlike the real world of artifacts created by artists, craftsmen, and engineers, the world created by computer scientists can be entirely virtual. By learning how to design and make things in computer science, you will become a better designer and maker of things in any field. Information Architecture The "things" that the computer scientist makes and manipulates with algorithms are pieces of information. Many of these "bits" are digitized representations of "real things", such as photographs, musical tunes, and movies. The computer scientist focuses on how to organize and control the complexity of this information so that it can better represent reality. The skills of organizing and managing the complexity of information that you acquire in computer science are important in almost any area of work or study.

Submission and Defence of Dissertation The PhD degree shall be awarded in acknowledgement of the receiver‘s satisfactory completion of the PhD programme and a demonstration, through a publicly defended thesis, of a capacity to carry out an academic research project involving independent use of the academic research methodology of the subjects in accordance with prescribed standards of TUMA. There will be a panel to assess the PhD dissertation. The eligibility requirements for the members of a minimum three persons assessment committee are the same as for the supervisors. At least two members of the panel with the required qualification of Professors, Associate Professors or PhD holders must come from outside of TUMA. The assessment panel shall submit a recommendation as to whether the candidate, through the publicly defended dissertation, has fulfilled the requirements of the TUMA PhD programme. The assessment panel may allow that changes or supplements are added to the dissertation prior to the defence. This work of prior assessment can be done by the panel via e-mail, telephone or other communication. TUMA decides the venue of the public defence and the student makes five hard copies of dissertation publicly available in the TUMA library at least a month before the defence. One soft copy in 190 a PDF file of the dissertation should be available to the panel members. The members of the assessment panel have to be present at the defence. The candidate is given the opportunity to explain the work and shall subsequently undergo an examination by the assessment panel. The person chairing the defence may permit other persons present to make a contribution during the defence. The assessment panel shall submit its recommendation as to whether the PhD degree should be awarded immediately after the public defence. If the panel does not agree on a positive recommendation, the preliminary recommendation of the panel shall be sent to the candidate, who shall be given a period of up to two weeks to comment on the recommendation, after which the final recommendation shall be made. The PhD degree shall be awarded if a positive recommendation has been given by a majority of the assessment panel members. The recommendation contains also a mark given to the dissertation. The recommendation has to be made within a month from the public defence. Complaints of the candidate concerning the assessment of the dissertation are to be directed to the Postgraduate Director and communicated to the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and TUMA Senate. Graduation Requirements The student is granted a PhD certificate once all requirements of the degree are fulfilled and the assessment panel recommendation has been given. From that time onward she or he may be called a ―doctor‖. The student has the right to participate in the following TUMA graduation ceremony, from which is allowed to carry the academic signs of the PhD in the respective programme of Tumaini University Makumira. 191 FACULTY OF THEOLOGY MASTER OF BIBLICAL STUDIES This Programme falls under the cluster of Theology/Religion. A student can major either in Old Testament or New Testament studies and be offered a Master of Theology in Biblical Studies. Rationale of the Programme The Bible carries with it a tradition of exclusivism whereby those who do not belong to the own people or culture, or the non-believer has been presented as a lower person, as the ―other‖. From first being a religion for the ―under-dog‖, Christianity became a religion for imperial ambitions. It gave the right to ―save‖ subjects away from inferior cultures. This western tradition was also brought to Africa by colonizers and their missionaries. Sometimes this was a conscious part of these imperial ambitions and sometimes it was just a part of the Christian heritage. As such it just continues affecting our self-understandings, both as descendants to the African subjects and to its previous masters. We both need to rethink our identities. To do this we need to penetrate through centuries of biblical interpretation. We need to go all the way back to the exclusivistic texts in the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament, but also to the liberating texts where the Israelites and the young Church searched for their identities. We need to see how these texts have been used both as a tool for subduing and in some cases for liberation through history until the present. How come that even after decenniums of independence, liberation theology and restoration, resources and power are still unequally distributed in the World, in Africa and especially in East-Africa? Many women are still suffering from not only traditional patriarchal structures, but also from those in the Bible. How can the churches in East-Africa and in the rest of the world find back to an identity of empowering the ―under-dog‖? Vision of Studies Our vision is to make Makumira an East-African center for frontline research and teaching concerning the shaping of identities, with special emphasis on the African Christian identities. In its initial phase this will 192 take place within the field of Biblical studies, where the post-colonial approach will play a central part. We will discuss the Bible as a product in an Ancient colonial context, the use of the Bible in a more recent colonial context (especially East-Africa) and the reactional models to this, especially during the postcolonial era. Very often African studies in this field lack a strong exegetical foundation with a deep knowledge of the biblical languages. As a Lutheran institution, it is fundamental for us to emphasize a solid exegetical foundation. The revised Master course in Biblical studies should prepare ground for other theological areas. International Benchmarking Internationally issues concerning identity-shaping processes have come more into focus and the Faculty of Theology has traditionally dealt with these issues in other disciplines. Hierarchal power structures have become the focus in sociological studies with different perspectives as gender and postcolonial. Often these are done in a western context where these structures are very different from the African context. In Africa, there is a struggle to find an identity within a world with many different religious traditions and a society influenced by previous colonial powers. Here oppressive structures are still often normative in large parts of society. Tribal society coexists with a modern, postmodern and global world. Should traditional African cultural aspects be a part of the Christian African Society, and if so, which parts? Is there an African way to read the Bible? These issues should not be studied only in a distant environment in the West, but in its own context. We are not pioneers within this field, as this approach has been developed elsewhere e. g. in South-Africa and Nigeria. Also in East-Africa this path has been followed by individual scholars, but we lack a strong institution with this perspective. Further, African approaches have been predominantly hermeneutical, often lacking a strong exegetical foundation. Therefore developing this programme with these ambitions will make biblical studies have significant contribution to African theological, social, and cultural issues. Target Students The planned Biblical Master is important for our own students within the Lutheran churches in Africa who need possibilities to higher education. The issues are however also important in the ecumenical 193 discussions, and therefore we will welcome theology students from other denominations. The program also aims at being part of the global academic dialogue and we will therefore invite students from any part of the world to take part in the full program (2 years) or for individual semesters. We will also provide opportunities for scholars to spend a sabbatical at the University to conduct research within the field of identity issues. Content of the Studies Students of the Master program will be able to choose between an Old or a New Testament emphasis. Relevant Biblical texts will be studied in its original language, using different tools and methods as literary, rhetorical, narrative and sociological criticism. The society, in which the Biblical texts were shaped, will be discussed in detail with a focus on the search for an identity of the Israelite and Early Church communities. Their relation with its colonial powers, e. g. the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman empires, will be analysed. The use of the Biblical texts by later colonial powers, especially in the African sphere, as well as their subjects‘ conformation or dis-conformation to this will be scrutinized. Further will the post-colonial situation, including the era of globalization, and the use of the Bible in the search for an African identity in society and in the different churches be evaluated. In all these perspectives hierarchal structures will be examined. Sabbatical lecturers. Our aim is also to invite international authorities in this field of research, as lecturers. Entry Requirements A students applying for Master of Biblical Studies should have a Bachelor of Divinity or equivalent. For those following the Old Testament version, previous studies in Biblical Hebrew is required. For those following the New Testament version, Biblical or Classical Greek (koine) is required.

In the past three decades Tumaini University Makumira has engaged in responding to the HIV/AIDs pandemic by introducing a Masters programme of Theology in HIV/AIDS. The lessons learnt from this programme have seen Makumira embarking in a more comprehensive programme of Master of 200 Theology that includes all health issues and gender justice. It is apparent that issues of health cannot ignore infancy and childhood. A healthy person should have undergone through good antenatal and postnatal care. It is no wonder that Tumaini University Makumira initiates a holistic view of health with a strategy to have reproductive health as a theological focal point to redress issue of gender inequity and poor health provision especially to women and children. Rationale of the Programme Statistics show that African countries and Tanzania in particular have high rates of infant and maternal mortality. Causes attributed to this situation range from economic, social, cultural and religious ones. These form multiple intersectional complexities in terms sexuality, relationships, maternal and child health and reproduction choices. The religious and cultural understanding in a larger number of churches in Africa on issues related to Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) has always supported to reduce the ability of men and women to live equally supportively, to decide over their own bodies and sexuality and have viable plans for their reproductive choices. Theologically Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights can be interpreted as both human dignity and inclusiveness. Theological reflections on gender and health have a strong biblical foundation from creation story that regard women and men as equally created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). It is from such a strong theological conviction that Christians believe in equality of both men and women (Galatians 3:28). However, the perverting gender inequality in the church and society and misunderstanding of gender issues complicate the opportunity for women and men to equally contribute to sustainable livelihoods for themselves and for their families. Depending on social systems many women engage more in economic activities but they have little power to decide on the outcome of their productivity. Many women have been empowered with knowledge on antenatal care, but since they have no decisions on the resources to support the programme they end up not 201 using the knowledge. Men who have power to decide about the use of resources they lack knowledge on antenatal care which is the main cause of higher maternal and child mortality and this deficiency has a direct impact on child health and nutrition. Gender inequality is also linked to both gender based violence (GBV) and women's and girls' illiteracy and malnutrition, where in many instances women and girls are the last in the family to get food. Such links are easily overlooked by theologians and religious leaders and lead to stereotyping gender relations between men and women, largely regarding men as superior over women. Thus, theological foundations on issues of gender equality and health are needed to address this problem. Objectives of the Programme The programme introduces in a specific way the relationship between theology/religion, health and gender, and how such intersectionality can help theologians and religious leaders to address the problem of gender inequality and health issues, especially of men and women. This programme mainstreams health and gender into theological courses that make a foundation of the interpretation of these issues. The aim is to produce theological knowledge that will support skills and competence of theologians and religious leaders to deal with issues of gender inequality and health of children, women and men. Thus this programme is built on the following objectives: To strengthen theological praxis and awareness on intersectionality of issues related to health, gender and theology. To integrate empowerment of local church and community leaders in the theological reflections so that they can challenge gender inequalities and promote child and maternal health. To mainstream gender and health in theological disciplines in order for theology to contribute to gender balance through men and women's participation in every step of life from needs assessment to implementation at all levels of issues related to health and gender. General Expected Learning Outcomes At the end of the programme students will have: 202 Specialized knowledge in the field of theology and intersectionality between theology health and gender. A systematic, extensive and comparative theological knowledge and its relationship to intersection of it with health and gender. A critical understanding of the established theories, principles and concepts, and a number of advanced and emerging issues in health and gender. Specialized skills required to promote their profession and use established techniques to undertake critical analysis of information on issues of theology, health and gender for addressing issues of gender inequality and poor support of health to all sexes. Programme Structure This is a two year full-time Programme. It has four semesters. The first semester is intensively used for theoretical introductions to different subjects, while the second semester consolidates the practicability of the knowledge in the fields of health and gender. The third semester is used to consolidate research needs and plans for study of different topics related to the intersectionality of theology, health and gender. The fourth semester is used for crafting research and writing research dissertations. Course assessment and evaluation follow the general format of the university. The grading systems also follow the general format. The old systems of credits continue to be applicable. The inserted university qualification framework awaits approval from the university academic boards. However, old and UQF credit systems do not affect grading system.

It has been a tradition for non-native aspiring English teachers to travel 211 ‗abroad‘ to countries where English is a ‗native‘ language to learn advanced methodologies and approaches on the professional teaching of English as a foreign language. Majority of these non-native English speaking countries have raised the status of English to a co-official language and de facto -franca in business, medium of instruction in higher level of education, computers and tourism, yet very little (if any) has been done to offer exclusively English teaching programmes at their graduate programmes. The experience in Tanzania has shown that the bulk of current English teachers are drawn from programmes that have minimal specialization in English pedagogy. As a matter of urgency, Tanzania needs specialized programmes to exclusively train English teachers at graduate degree level. This will help to fill the gap of the English teachers in higher institutions especially at this time when Communication Skills is a compulsory university wide course that is supposed to raise proficiency levels of its graduates. The programme explores the relationship between theory and practice in language teaching and acquisition of contemporary knowledge in principles of language teaching in a variety of contexts. It also offers students understanding of recent theories, research findings and practical issues to enable them to evaluate critically current English teaching materials and evaluation procedures. It enables students to acquire the knowledge, range of capabilities, experiences and qualities required for the English teaching profession. It then provides students with necessary skills to carry out independent research in the area of ELT. Entry Requirements Applicants should have a First- Class, Second-Class Bachelor degree or equivalent grade in humanities from an accredited/approved university or equivalent institution of higher learning and must be highly proficient in English. The Faculty would welcome students with little or no classroom teaching experience but with some firm background in English. They ought to have taken some courses in the English language (or studied as a minor). For further information on other entry requirements refer to general Master Programme requirements. Programme Structure In order to receive the M.A. English Language Teaching degree a 212 candidate must Complete 36 Credits of coursework in the first and second semester. After a successful completion of all the courses with a mean over-all grade of ―B‖ or above, students will be allowed to proceed to the third and fourth semester courses in Research Methodology Seminar leading to Independent Dissertation on a topic related to English language totaling 18 credits.

The graduate‘s profile since then has been to the award of a bachelor‘s degree in law (LLB). It is true that this level is not less important but a 6 years period of existence is enough for the University to start a master‘s programme in law. It is considered that East Africa has had many challenges, including internal conflicts, border disputes, poverty, starvation, drought, gender inequality, cross-border intervention, refugees, internally displaced people, environmental degradation, human rights violations, forced disappearances, scarcity of resources, bad governance, power abuse and terrorism. The promotion of human rights with a holistic approach is the only solution which can salvage a ravaged region like East Africa. The Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the African Union (AU), the African Court of Human and Peoples‘ Rights and the East African Court of Justice are the most important regional organizations which can promote human rights at the sub-regional level. Nowadays, human rights issues have taken a new dimension and have become a central point for many programmes. Due to these advancements at international and regional levels, human rights protection becomes a cornerstone for the development of the members of the East African community. This is a specialized advanced degree designed to impart advanced knowledge of the chosen courses through intensive research and a firm theoretical grounding. This programme has been designed to provide a deep understanding about human rights law, including some course topics on international humanitarian law and international criminal law. The contents of the programme cover a different range of topics including human rights and international law, Constitutional Law and Constitutional Rights in the East African Community, Comparative Immigration and Nationality 217 Law, International Criminal Law, Natural Resources and the Law, International Protection of Women‘s Rights, International Humanitarian Law, etc. The contents have been prepared in the context of Tanzania and the East African Community. However, great consideration has also been given to international principles related to human rights law. The programme will cover international and regional experiences with special attention to the domestic issues of Tanzania. Nature and Duration of the Programme This programme is offered by Coursework and Thesis. The first component, namely course work shall cover two semesters involving full-time attendance. In each semester, every student will have to follow three core courses and choose one optional course from a list of available optional courses released by the Faculty Dean.

The program offers an advanced, interdisciplinary understanding of the inter-relationships between international politics and international law. In global affairs, governments, inter-governmental institutions, nongovernmental organizations and multinational corporations are engaged in a constant making and remaking of political and legal rules and procedures. For people involved in global governance, it is necessary to be able to analyze and interpret legal and political developments in a transnational context. Not only have societies have become increasingly connected and interdependent, the range of policy issues that fall within the remit of global politics has increased dramatically and these issue areas tend to be both highly juridical as well as intrinsically political. For quite some time now, international relations have superseded the level of traditional interstate diplomacy. International relations increasingly include the rules and standards of economic interaction, global communications, international human rights, and the management of the global commons (e.g. the environment). There is, then, a demand in academia, in national and international policy-making communities, in the NGO community and the transnational business sector, for personnel with in-depth knowledge and understanding of how international politics is practiced through law and how international law functions against the backdrop of political contexts. Drawing on the research expertise of interdisciplinary scholars, this course aims to provide Tumaini University Makumira students with such knowledge and understanding. 221 The program shall be by course work and dissertation. The normal duration of the full program is two academic years. This program will be open to candidates holding a LLB degree or its equivalent. The Main Goal The main goal of this program is to offer an advanced, interdisciplinary understanding of the inter-relationships between international politics and international law. In global affairs, governments, intergovernmental institutions, non-governmental organizations and multinational corporations are engaged in a constant making and remaking of political and legal rules and procedures. For people involved in global governance, it is necessary to be able to analyze and interpret legal and political developments in a transnational context. This is an innovative postgraduate program developed for graduates willing to deepen their knowledge of the fields of international law and international relations through an immediate privileged experience with a distinguished faculty and top-level professionals. The program aims at providing a well-balanced combination of theory and practice, by focusing on the interdisciplinary approach to legal, historical, and context-sensitive socioeconomic and political factors that shape our world, especially those emerging issues that challenge today‘s global system: trade, finance, security, information and communication technology, energy, environment and global networks. Coursework provides exposure to the key subfields of the discipline and relevant issues such as globalization, human rights, humanitarian action, and economic development. The privileged partnership with important academics from different countries and leading professionals from multinational companies, international institutions, and non-governmental organizations will allow students to take part in team projects and individual internships. Specific objectives This program aims to: raise students‘ critical awareness of major issues in international 222 law and international relations; facilitate at an advanced level suitable for postgraduate studies an assessment and a detailed understanding of the study of international politics; inculcate the ability to discuss, in an informed, coherent and critical way, issues of political thought; facilitate an understanding of the complex relationship between international relations as a discipline and international law, and by extension the multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity as applied to the academic study of human rights; develop the students‘ confidence to think creatively; ensure that students are able not only to assess the benefits of social research methods to the study of international law, but are fully equipped with the skills and confidence necessary to undertake research in this area; develop an understanding of the relationship between theory and social ―reality‖, in particular the reality of human rights concerns in the contemporary context; improve the transferable skills of coherent and rational argument and the written and oral expression of ideas; prepare students for careers beyond their curriculum through the development of practical, technical and transferable skills to suitable employment of higher degree; allow students the opportunity to develop an original piece of academic writing in their discipline on a topic of interest to them, demonstrating an advanced understanding of current research and to make a contribution to debates in progress. Nature and Duration of the Program This program is offered by Coursework and dissertation. These two components shall cover four semesters involving full-time attendance. Every student will have to follow four courses during the first two semesters and three courses during the third semester. The dissertation can be prepared in the course of the three semesters but the student will be given the third semester to have completed and submitted the dissertation. 223 To be considered for admission to this program, a candidate must have a first or a second class LLB degree of Tumaini University Makumira or an accredited University or has satisfied the requirements for the award of such degree. Exceptionally, candidates with a good honors degree in international relations or political science will be considered for admission once the admission board is satisfied with their academic background. If judged appropriate, each candidate will be called to appear for interview before the admission board.
