What are the Challenges inherent in Scheming and Making Schemes of Work?

  

Answers


Ruth
i. Inability to scheme efficiently
Scheming is a professional activity that requires the teacher to be actively involved, purchasing the schemes of work from bookshops or failing to participate actively in producing departmental schemes amounts to failure to perform a professional duty. Teachers are therefore advised to personally involve themselves in the scheming process for all the classes they are assigned to for the much needed experience.

ii. Learners entry behavior
Most classes are composed of learners with mixed ability making it challenging to plan to provide for varied experiences within one lesson. However, teachers are expected to overcome this by being creative and notify clearly how to provide for this even in their schemes.

iii. An Examination oriented curriculum
This frequently forces some teachers to resort to rote learning that encourage active teacher
participation in content delivery while the learner becomes a passive participant involved mainly
in cramming content to reproduce them during the examination period.

iv. Inability to interact with the learners in the classroom as schemed This requires mastery of the content and the innovativeness and creativity of the teacher in presentation. And if the teacher has not mastered the content it becomes very difficult for him/her to interact with the learner thus will depend majorly on the notes while teaching in the classroom.
