Final product: Workshop
The workshop is a result of my study
in which both lecturers and students from the ECE program were questioned. Out
of the interviews and focus groups discussion four needs where concluded. One of
the needs is more teaching and learning materials in class. In the workshop
students created these materials, so they have more examples of materials
that are used in practice. In addition, the workshop was an opportunity for
them to develop their own skills. This skill are needed to teach in the
pre-schools. Due to lack of funding, it is important that teachers are able to
develop their own material and be creative, but above all they should try to find time to create teaching and learning materials. This workshop is a good example.
After the introduction the students were
divided into four groups. Each group was tasked to develop teaching and learning materials for a particular problem. For instance:
Group 1- Landisa (Girl) - 4 years old- visual impairment
Group 2 - Cliford (boy) - 6 years old- learning disability
The results :
Sports day !
ZAMISE annually organizes a sports day. Of course I did not hesitate to participate! Along with ECE students and academic staff I played netball and vollybal.

International Woman's Day!
Happy
Women's Day
As a woman
I died several times in this life
But just being a woman, I had to courage to raise again
As a woman, I fell to the gutters of chauvinism
Yet, just being a woman, I took that in stride of my feminism
But just being a woman, I had to courage to raise again
As a woman, I fell to the gutters of chauvinism
Yet, just being a woman, I took that in stride of my feminism
As a woman, I cried several unending nights
Yet, I showed up a brave face and ready to fight
As a woman, I hurried to several trains to catch
Yet, I never left behind any unfinished match
As a woman, I loved being loved all the time
Yet, I had the courage to withstand ditching too
As a woman, I always liked to be dressed the best
But just being a woman, I did dress up to the situations true

But just being a woman, I did dress up to the situations true
As a woman,
I shared my meal and peace all the time
Yet, I also learnt to let go my meal for a cause in tide
As a woman, I got shunned by the people of the society
Yet, I stood back and said, I am proud to be what I am as a woman
As a woman, I know I glorified everything that I liked
Yet, I had the right to reject what is not right in its form
As a woman, I lent my shoulders for friends to lean on
But just being a woman, I warned them not to be vulnerable on
As a woman, I know the struggles are many and always on
Yet being a woman, I know God made us that way to deal on
As a woman, I like the way You look at me and say so
But just being a woman, remember I am not a show case piece
As a woman, I love rest of my women folks who are wonderful
In not just the way they are, but for being great friends too
For being enduring Mothers, efficient professionals, loving daughters
And for being great wives and being Divas in their own Right!

Als een echte Zambiaanse ....
Boksing, eating nshima at ZAMISA with the collegues, cooking with lovely ladies, celebrating, ....
Focusgesprek
Voor mijn onderzoek heb ik een interviewleidraad
ontwikkeld en een leidraad voor de focusgesprekken uitgewerkt.
De informatie
uit te focusgesprekken geven me een algemeen beeld van hoe studenten het gebruik van
leer- en lesmateriaal hebben ervaren tijdens de lessen en wat ze zelf als
oplossingen aanreiken voor verbeteringen. De interviews met docenten waren ook zeer
verhelderend. De structuur van het instituut werd tastbaarder en de docenten
gaven specifiekere oplossingen die als acties konden dienen om leer- en
lesmateriaal beter te gaan gebruiken en te produceren.

U.T.H.
The
University Hospital Special School is een school voor buitengewoon basisonderwijs. UTH is een product van ZAMISE. Ze werken nog steeds nauw samen. In UTH
heb ik gesprekken kunnen aangaan met leerkrachten over leer- en lesmateriaal.
Het was aangenaam om te zien hoe creatief de leerkrachten zijn, ondanks het
gebrek aan adequaat leer- en lesmateriaal.
Als onderzoekster naar de inclusie basisschool Lotus
Samen met een projectteam binnen ZAMISE kon ik mee naar een lokale inclusie
basisschool 'Lotus'. Het projectteam doet een
onderzoek naar de leesvaardigheid van studenten met een leerstoornis in de
lokale inclusie basisscholen. Momenteel zitten de onderzoekers in de
implementatiefase. Wekelijks gaan ze naar scholen om leesoefeningen te maken
met studenten die leerstoornissen hebben. De vooruitgang van de kinderen wordt
elektronisch bijgehouden zodat de onderzoekers het effect kunnen meten. Samen
met hen heb ik tijdens mijn bezoek aan de school kinderen kunnen begeleiden in
het maken van de leesoefeningen.
