Active Teaching and Learning in Uganda

Active Teaching and Learning (ATL) is one of the instructional approaches that has been implemented in the four selected Teacher Training Colleges(TTC¿s) in Uganda to realise the long awaited learner centred pedagogy. TTC¿S mean all Teacher Training Institutions NTC¿s inclusive. This study explored the level of practice of ATL among lecturers in Uganda taking a case study of National Teachers¿ College (NTC), Kaliro. The study revealed that lecturers do practice ATL when planning for the lessons, during classroom facilitation and in assessment of learners. Lecturers have developed a positive attitude towards ATL. Lecturers at NTC, Kaliro feel they cannot do much in the training of teachers without applying ATL; they now look at ATL as a very good approach in the training of teachers. ATL has made teaching more interesting to both lecturers and student teachers. Therefore, the government of Uganda through the MoES should put in more efforts for the sustainability of ATL in the selected Teacher Training Colleges.
