Models Of Teaching Practice Since Zimbabwean Independence: A Critical Review
Abstract
This paper attempts a critical review of the models of teaching practice adopted since Zimbabwe attained independence in 1980. It is argued in this paper that those who were empowered to decide by models of teaching practice tended to put more emphasis on political, economic and administrative needs at the expense of pedagogical needs of the student ' teachers. It is against this background that a possible model of teaching practice, which seeks to take into account the pedagogical objectives of teaching practice, has been proposed.
