The module introduces the basic concepts and principles of electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell Equations, propagation of electromagnetic waves, and their applications. The main aim of the module is to allow the student to explain electromagnetic phenomena, solve problem, perform experiments related to electromagnetism and apply teaching and learning strategies related to Electromagnetism
This module aims at extending students’ knowledge and understanding of the basic cognitive processes of concept –formation, creativity, thinking and problem solving, decision making and to illustrate their role and application in teaching- learning process as well as everyday life. A further aim is to show the interrelationship between these cognitive processes. Due to the diverse problems in our society today, the education system should aim at developing creative abilities and problem solving skills among learners. This we hope to achieve by acquainting prospective teachers with understanding of the ways and means of developing the skills of creativity, problem solving and critical thinking among learners
This module aims at giving student the knowledge and skills required to ensure the availability and maximum use of appropriate low cost teaching and learning materials in preschools. The content covers the importance of teaching and learning materials in pre-schools, as well as how to design and display materials in different learning areas to enhance children’s learning and store them to maximise their longevity.
This module goes on to set out how meaningful teaching and learning can be facilitated in the Social Studies classroom. It also does by detailing out those instructional objectives that must be carefully and systematically sorted out and the strategies, techniques and skills that must be employed to be a result-oriented learner and teacher.

The module introduces the students to the concepts, principles, theories and practices impacting Play, First Aid and Safety dealing with Issues in Early Childhood Development. It elaborates on the types of play, its importance in the child development. The module describes various children’s play and games in Rwandan contexts. Students are introduced to common children’s accidents, first aids for emergency cases and prevention means. The module content and learning activities will be uploaded on moodle for students to access them and interact online.
The module introduces students to notions of coordinates; vectors; scalar product; cross product; box product; it also introduces students to notion of length, norms, area and volumes. It also introduces students to plane and space analytical geometry: point, straight line, trigonometry, circle, conics, plane, and surfaces.
Finally, it involves students in manipulation of shapes and solids using local materials applied to everyday life (architecture and arts).
