In a class conducted by Mrs. Agnes Jamba, a 31 year old female instructor who studied as a registered Nurse in Uganda 7 years back. The class has 29 students; six females and 23 males.
This lesson was about malaria cycle and the instructor used a chart as instructional material to demonstrate this. Students participated in the class by asking some questions although most of them were not answered to their expectations. The instructor uses a lecture method of teaching and sometimes brings in Arabic when explaining for students to understand what she is explaining.
The instructor rather advised them to do personal research to understand the topic better by using text books and the internet. The instructor also used the white board quite often especially for the scientific terms which were new for the students.
In the course of the lesson, some students came to a point of dialogged amongst themselves and the instructor in order to understand the topic. However the students who are introverts did not contribute anything in class.
When I talked to one of the students Mr. Benjamin Anei Deng, a 31 year old student who studied up to primary seen before joining this training, he said that learning theory is very important for him if he has to do something practically. This student also said that he understands better when learning in a group although learning in English is still a problem given his Arabic background.
