| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to explore emerging practices in the implementation of Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) in selected secondary schools in Morogoro Municipal Council. Specifically, the study aimed to: analyse strategies that teachers are currently using to effectively implement CBC; assess emerging capacities needs to effective implement CBC from the teachers‟ perspective and identify newly emerged challenges which hinder effective implementation of CBC. The study was mainly qualitative supported by some quantitative data. The study employed holistic case study design and purposeful sampling technique to get a sample size of 80 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, participatory observation and documentary review methods. With regard to strategies employed, the study found that teachers use different strategies like pair discussion; questions answer among students under teacher’s supervision, case study, simple practical for form one and form two classes as well as regular practical to form three and form four. With regard to emerging capacities needs, the study revealed the needs for administrative support and more capacity building programs. The findings show that the implementation of CBC is still faced with various challenges including large class size, unsupportive learning environment and English language barrier to mention a few. These observed emerged strategies, capacities needs and emerging challenges in the implementation of CBC, entail that effective CBC implementation is still complex in Morogoro municipality in Tanzania. The huge difference between schools in terms of resources, environments and infrastructures lead to the variation of secondary school’s outcomes in the application of CBC. It is recommended that deliberate efforts be taken, these efforts should include in-service training for teachers, review of curriculum for the teachers training, improvement of school’s infrastructures and enhance collaboration between teachers and schools’ community members. | |
