8.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME

8.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stresses the

need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student, who so wish, to transfer the units already completed in an institution

of similar standard from which he is transferring.

8.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted, thus making each of the professional modules,

when completed provides the student with technician operative skills, which can be used for employment purposes.


VIII

8.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institution and industry, the Curriculum

content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the student who successfully

completed some of the courses or the diplomates of the programme. There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performance based

curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performance is expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels

of performance. It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching the programme to write their own curriculum

stating the conditions existing in their institution under which the performance can take place and follow that with the criteria for

determining an acceptable level of performance. The Academic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission on the final

curriculum. Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal Evaluation system exist in each institution for ensuring minimum standard

and quality of education in the programmes offered throughout the polytechnic system.

8.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in professional

courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For each course, there should be a balance of theory to

practice in the ratio of 50:50 or 60:40 or the reverse.
