Teaching materials and manuals
CESESMA has produced a series of teacher's manuals for use with children, suitable for use both in the primary school classroom and in non-school education settings. There is a Health Education Pack and an Environment Pack.
The manuals are based on two key principals: First, that education must be founded on the real lives of the children so that its contents have sense and validity. These manuals, therefore, have a rural focus, which is reflected in the stories, references, questions ands readings. The second principal is that the methods used must be active and participatory, to arouse interest and facilitate assimilation. This is reflected in a series of learning activities including stories, games, dialogues, songs, poems, individual and group writing tasks, drawing, role-play, practical experiments and field research activities.
