PRESENTATION

1. General context of reviewingT.T.C. curricula The Ministry of Basic Education (MINEDUB) ordered a diagnostic study on the organization and functioning of collegeswithin the framework of the G.T.T.C. reform process. The study carried out by Mrs. Marguerite Altet, a CIEP (French Centre for Educational Research) expert, and published in 2011, highlights numerous pedagogic gaps, namely:

- The absence of a sound curriculum, given that syllabuses are presented as a list of contents with 26 disciplines;

- The one-year course duration for GCE A/Lstudent-teachers is inadequate; - The heterogeneous academic entry qualification of student-teachersleads to some shortcomings on

the part ofGCE O/L student-teachers at the end of the course; - The lack of a synchronized programming of pedagogic activities (practicum and evaluation); - An inadequate training as concernsthe different pedagogic reforms implemented in Basic Education.

From this crucial diagnosis confirmed by MINESEC officials, the Minister of Secondary Education with a view to improve on the quality of teachertraining for our basic educational system, decided to draw up new T.T.C.curricula taking into account the political vision advocated by the Head of State.

2. Characteristics of the curricula reviewed following the Competence-Based Approach The new T.T.C. curriculum is drawn up following the Competence-Based Approach(CBA)in respect to the methodological requirements of the development of a curriculum. The process started with the writing of a Teacher‟s Referential of Professional Activities with the collaboration of field experts; this enabled designers to identify basic professional competences to be developed during the initial training of a teacher. The basic professional competences were presented in a Referential of Competences used by the editorial team as supporting document to draw up the current curriculum.

Therefore, this document remains a multidisciplinary curriculum which lays emphasis on common abilities

otherwise referred to as “cross abilities” while integrating various practical aspects (simulation, practicum, various practical activities, case studies etc.)

The new T.T.C. curricula target the five domains of the contents taken from the former syllabuses. These

domains are: -Bilingual training; -Didactics of Primary and Nursery school activities; -Sciences of Education; -Educational Technologies; -Reinforced alternated practicum(teaching practice…)

The training content is the same for the three levels but its dosage takesinto consideration the entry

qualification of student-teachers. 3. Curriculum Structure

The curriculum is presented in a tabulated form of knowledge, skills, attitudinal know-how and suggested activitieswith stated terminal and intermediate competences.


Each subject has: - A title; - Level; - Weekly and annual time allocation; - Targeted competences ; - Terminal or intermediate competence ; - Basic professional competences; - Themes ; - Resources

4. Training time allocation

In view of the necessity for professionalization of the training, the new curriculum is undergoing significant

readjustments on the time allocated to the teaching of Didactics of Primary and Nursery school activities, as well asthe duration of teaching practice.

The table below summarizes time allocation:

Annual duration: 36 weeks Average number of weekly teaching hours: 34 hours

The time allocated for teaching practiceand Didactics of Primary and Nursery school activities has been increased for each level. In the same vein, the teaching duration of some subjects has been readjusted, for instancePsychology in Three-year course, first year, has been reduced from 4 to 3 hours.

5. Organization of teaching practicein an academic year. In the former syllabus, the yearly duration of teaching practice was 4 weeks. This could not permit a judicious management of the three types of teaching practice:

Observation (O) ;

Guided practice (G.P.) ;

Autonomous practice(A.P.).

7. Evaluation

Evaluation in Teacher Training Colleges should be diagnostic, formative, criterion-referenced and integrating(i.e. using problem-situations). Further information is found in accompanying documents.

8. Didactic materials: Didactic materials used in Teacher Education should arouse the learner‟s senses. In fact, concrete objects, illustrations, audiovisual equipment etc. will permit to understand the concepts and good classroom practice. To that effect, student-teachers must be able to produce didactic materials from local and salvaged materials.

9. Student-teachers’ profile and training goals End-of-course terminal competence

At the end of the course, the teacher must be a field practitioner who prepares, facilitates and evaluates learning activities in respect to students‟differences, professional ethics and socio-cultural environment, by developing adapted communication strategies. Training goals

The teacher will be a professional who performs the four priority functions which are: (1) Teaching, (2) Communication, (3) Education and (4) Analysisand Regulation. This entails that he should be a reflective field practitioner: a teacher who analyses and regulates classroompractices.
