Section 5: Wise use and reuse of materials
Key Focus Question: How can you develop responsible attitudes to material use and reuse?
Keywords: renewable; recycling; compost; projects; evaluating; values
By the end of this section, you will have:
- used different ways to develop responsible attitudes towards the use of material resources
- organised practical projects to reuse materials
- worked with your pupils to develop criteria to evaluate different products and processes.
Teachers need to be aware of the importance of knowledge, skills and attitudes with regard to learning. Giving pupils the facts (knowledge) is the most straightforward, skills take more time and practice, but the most uncertain aspect is influencing values and attitudes. Think of a game of soccer. The whole crowd knows the facts (the basic rules of the game). A handful of players have the skill really well. But fairness, honesty, and dignity in defeat are all-important attitudes that are not always easy to come by.
This section introduces you to ways of developing responsible attitudes in your pupils towards the use and reuse of material resources.
Sehemu ya 5: Matumizi ya busara na matumizi ya vifaa: Jinsi ya kuendeleza mtazamo wa uwajibikaji kwa matumizi ya vifaa na matumizi ya vifaa? "Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, ""kuchimba"" ni ""kuchimba"" kwa ajili ya matumizi ya vifaa vya ujenzi, na ""kuchimba"" kwa ajili ya matumizi ya vifaa vya ujenzi ni ""kuchimba"" kwa ajili ya matumizi ya vifaa vya ujenzi." Walimu wanahitaji kuwa na ufahamu wa umuhimu wa maarifa, ujuzi na mitazamo kuhusiana na kujifunza. Kutoa wanafunzi ukweli (maarifa) ni rahisi zaidi, ujuzi huchukua muda zaidi na mazoezi, lakini kipengele kisicho na uhakika zaidi ni kuathiri maadili na mitazamo. Fikiria mchezo wa mpira wa miguu. Umati wote unajua mambo ya hakika (sheria za msingi za mchezo). Wachezaji wachache wana ustadi huo vizuri sana. Lakini uadilifu, uaminifu, na heshima katika kushindwa ni mitazamo muhimu sana ambayo si rahisi kupata. Sehemu hii inakuonyesha njia za kukuza mitazamo ya uwajibikaji katika wanafunzi wako kuelekea matumizi na matumizi ya rasilimali za vifaa.
