This Module provides a working knowledge of basic concepts of molecular physics and thermodynamics by restating the definition of system, surrounding, closed and open system, extensive and intensive properties. This course will provide the deep understanding of heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation and calculated the amount of heat energy transferred. The module offers the opportunity to distinguish the Laws of Thermodynamics and describe their significance and to assess thermodynamic applications using second law of thermodynamics: thermal efficiency and coefficient of performance for heat engine, refrigerators and heat pumps. It further deals with basic concepts in modern physics and basic electronics.
This module introduces the students to an in-depth study of Human Nutrition. It will assist the students in their search for a basic and logical understanding of relationship between nutrition and health. The module introduces the students to basic concepts of health and nutrition, and highlights ways that they can integrate good nutrition into their lifestyles to improve their health.
The main aim of this module is to: bring to the notice of the learners the contributions of assessment in an effective teaching- learning system at the childhood school level; make the teaching-learning process more attractive at the nursery school level; be able to describe and apply the principles used in the teaching-learning process at the early childhood level.
Course outile:
- Theoretical bases related to ECD.
- Concepts used in assessment such as: Theoretical bases of assessment under a learner-centred approach and curriculum planning.Evaluation, instructional assessment, diagnostic assessment and screening assessment.
- Theory of Multiple intelligences and assessment;
- Contemporary issues: Early brain growth and development, interrelationship between earliest experiences and social and moral competence in the context of assessment and curriculum decisions and design.
- Tools for evaluation and assessment of young children;
- Assessment in the new preschool curriculum
This module Regional Planning and Sustainable Development seeks to enable students to have a deep understanding of regional planning and sustainable land use. In this module, learners will be entertained on theories of regional planning in sustainable development (various theories of localizations of the activities of the different economic sectors), regional and local plan-marking practice, case studies of regional planning, local planning, and master planning, the relationship between plans and sustainable development at a regional and local level. Learners will also look at settlement structure, built environment, models of regional development for sustainable development, risk prevention, and others.
Dear student, welcome to this module Contemporary moral issues This module intends ti equip you with skills to appreciate the role of morality in social, political, economic and cultural improvement with paticular attention to Rwanda. It will also enable you to critically weigh the arguments of the proponents and opponents to biomedical, sexual, social, business and environmental moral problems at stake today in the world. In this course you will be entertained on moral problems and issues related to genetic engineering, human cloning, eugenics, abortion, euthanasia, surrogate motherhood, cosmetic surgery), sexual (male circumcision, female genital mutilation (FGM), HIV/Aids, homosexuality, lesbianism, prostitution), social (child abuse, corruption, exclusion, genocide, armed ethnic conflicts, nuclear arms, terrorism), business (advertisement, market competition, internet) and environmental (climate change, pollution and animal rights) and others.
The module aims at introducing you to contribution of different civilizations to development mathematics and science, contemporary issues and trends in science and mathematics, foundations and philosophy of mathematics education.
Module facilitator: Dr Alphonse Uworwabayeho
The module introduces students to concepts of descriptive statistics and basic concepts of probability and counting, conditional probability, multiplication rule, the addition rule, and notions of random variables and probability distributions. After completion of the module, the student teachers will be able to handle some statistical and probabilistic aspects of integrated science modules.
