Yes, truly, learning is lifelong. As we proceed, let’s remember that any well
designed curriculum must cater for all the domains of human development. Those
are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
Hello! Don’t worry, if faced with;
1. Actual curriculum (All domain)
ICT,ELM, ECD, ME, SCI E,LLE – attend to lecturer, moodle,
library and Google
2. Core curriculum (All domian)
Assignment – let’s research, consult friends, or lecturer
3. Co-curriculum (psychomotor domain)
Physiotherapy? – let’s walk to campus back to hostel, to the
beach back to hostel, to Kariakoo back to hostel, to another hostel back to our
hostel, or climb the stairs then back .....
4. Hidden curriculum (Affective domain)
Emotional? – stress, depression, fear .. – visit the
counsellor
Socio-economic? - no water in the hostel? – let’s dry clean, or
visit the ocean
Cultural - don’ t
know Kiswahili? – let’s use sign language. It is most unifying
Education is a life-long process that encompasses a person's whole life as you say. Being at AKU,IED requires that students use all the domains as expected. You may have witnessed students break down due to pressure of work as a result of over working the cognitive domain and ignoring the affective and psychomotor ones. It is true that many who lacked knowledge of Kiswahili and even English - the main language of communication, left at the end of term 1 with improved competence.
