Overview

Mixed method analysis reveals inadequate training and resources hinder CBC implementation in Tanzania's public schools, suggesting urgent reforms.

Key Points

  • Teachers lack knowledge about applying the competency-based curriculum, with 41.8% strongly agreeing they are unsure.
  • Inadequate training and scarcity of instructional materials significantly impede the transition to student-centered teaching methods.
  • A mixed research approach was utilized, combining quantitative and qualitative data from 152 informants through interviews, discussions, and observations.
  • Recommendations include enhancing teacher training, providing adequate materials, and improving classroom environments to support CBC.
