Preparing Preservice Teachers for Rural Teaching Through Professional Learning During Teaching Practice
Get PDFResource deficit in rural schools has been reported to affect recruitment and retention of teachers. However, many researchers focus on external factors that can attract teachers to teach in rural schools. This study explores teacher educators’ and preservice teachers’ perspectives on strategies that may equip preservice teachers with professional learning during their teaching practice to attract them to teaching and staying in rural schools. The study was conducted at the University of Dar es Salaam (Dar es Salaam University College of Education-DUCE). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions conducted with 5 teacher educators and 33 preservice teachers. The findings indicate that rural schools in Tanzania are characterized by geographical isolation, unreliable access to social services, poverty, and teaching resource deficits, which result in poor teaching and living conditions and attrition of teachers. To improve the quality of teaching and education at large, preservice teachers have to be equipped with professional learning to enable them to adapt to and transact with rural environments. These professional learning strategies include implementing a rural-integrated curriculum, reflective practices, and collaborative problem-solving projects. Also, preservice teachers should be empowered to use resources available in rural areas by being engaged in rural communities. It has been established that, for professional learning to be effective, teacher educators should be competent enough to supervise preservice teachers effectively. Implications for policy, practice, and further research are provided
Studying the effects of inbreeding on a small, isolated population of the endangered Turks and Caicos rock iguana (Cyclura carinata) on Little Water Cay.
No full textCyclura carinata, the Turks and Caicos rock iguana, is a critically endangered species endemic to the Turks and Caicos Islands. The remaining populations of this iguana are restricted to small cays and islets. Inbreeding is largely unavoidable in small, isolated populations. As a result, inbreeding depression, reduced fitness observed in the offspring of relatives, is likely and may elevate extinction risks in small populations. Heterozygosity should correlate with inbreeding and can hence be used to infer the degree to which an individual’s parents are related. This study tested the hypothesis that inbreeding depression influences the population genetic dynamics of small populations by assessing levels of heterozygosity at 26 microsatellite loci in hatchlings, juveniles, and adults of C. carinata on Little Water Cay. Results revealed that homozygosity was greatest in hatchlings, lower in juveniles, and lowest in adults. This finding is consistent with inbreeding depression reducing the viability of hatchlings and juveniles, and suggests that outbred individuals are more likely to survive to adulthood
